Is The iPhone 7 Sold Out? Pre-orders Start Soon
by Cameron Norsworthy
Whether or not you think wireless headphones are absolutely unnecessary, you have to admit — getting your hands on an iPhone 7 definitely means that you're leveling up in some way. But is the iPhone 7 sold out already? Online pre-orders go live Sept. 9 and the the phone will hit stores Sept. 16 — but Apple isn't planning to disclose how many coveted devices it sells in its first weekend.
Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet is 100 percent confident that the iPhone 7 will sell out, a fact that Apple is sure of "before taking the first customer pre-order." Huguet told Reuters, "These initial sales will be governed by supply, not demand, and we have decided that it is no longer a representative metric for our investors and customers."
Boasting a sleeker look, water resistance, and an upgraded camera, Apple-philes are going to want to know how to get their hands on an iPhone 7 ASAP. When the iPhone 6 launched, it sold out in pre-sale, so now's the time to commit to your preferred device so you know just what to order.
You have a couple of options: The regular iPhone 7 goes for $649 and the iPhone 7 Plus is yours for $769. Both phones come in either matte or shiny black (iPhone 4 throwback, much?) as well as silver, gold, and rose gold. Like the previous generation, the iPhone 7 Plus is 6.23 inches with a 5.5 (diagonal) inch display in comparison to the regular iPhone's 5.44 and 4.7 inches. Oh — and now you can be convinced to buy a device with even more memory was possible last generation: A whopping 256GB. Somewhere, likely in a forgotten drawer, my erstwhile 8G iPhone 3 is sobbing.
You might actually want to spring for more gigs, as higher iPhone picture quality will take up more space on your phone. Also of note: the glossy, "jet black" iPhone 7 scratches more easily than other finishes, so if you get that one you'll want to get a case, which perhaps completely defeats the purpose of picking a phone for its sheen. But if you're super careful, by all means you may go ahead.
Whereas last time Apple offered solutions to smooth out your pre-sale experience, it's looking like you're on your own this year. Refinery 29 reports that "in 2015, the pre-sale started at 12:01 a.m. PST, 3:01 a.m. EDT," so set your alarms or keep re-bingeing Stranger Things or take whatever precautions you must take to keep yourself awake, aware, and ready to click "Add To Cart." May the odds be ever in your favor.

Červená pevnost (, , ) je pevnost v Indii v Dillí, jeden ze symbolů města. Nachází se mezi starým městem () a řekou Jamunou. Je navštěvovanou turistickou atrakcí. Je vyobrazena na bankovce 500 indických rupií. Patří k důležitým ukázkám mughalské architektury.

Popis areálu
Pevnost zabírá plochu celkem 103 ha. Její areál byl plánován v podobě pravidelného obdélníku, opevnění však bylo zbudováno v nepravidelném tvaru. Mezi opevněním a budovami paláců, nádvoří a zahrad v minulosti existovalo svébytné město s početnými uličkami a tržišti. Její hradby mají délku 2,4 km, jsou z nápadného červeného pískovce a doplněné věžemi.

Do pevnosti vedou celkem dvě brány; Láhaurská brána, hlavní a Dillíská brána, která zajišťovala přístup z jižní strany. Jako významná památka a symbol města i země je přísně hlídaná vzhledem k rizikům teroristických útoků v Indii.

Každý rok je na Den nezávislosti 15. srpna vztyčována indická vlajka na Láhaurskou bránu.

Historie
Pevnost byla postavena v letech 1639 až 1648 pro mughalského císaře Šáhdžahána. Své přízvisko červená získala díky červenému pískovci, ze kterého byla postavena. Vznikala v souvislosti s přemístěním hlavního města říše zpět do Dillí. Její projekt připravil architekt Ustad Ahmad Lahori, který mimo jiné navrhl i Tádž Mahál.

Dříve byla sídlem sultána a kromě výstavních budov panovníka a jeho dvora se zde nacházely i obytné domy, které vyplňovaly prostor mezi mohutnými hradbami a centrální části pevnosti. Mnohé výstavní budovy byly postaveny podle pevnosti v Ágře. I do červené pevnosti v Dillí nicméně zasáhly stavební úpravy.

V roce 1747 pevnost vyplenil íránský vládce Nádir Šáh.

Pevnost byla také místem střetů během Velkého indického povstání v roce 1857. Pevnost nebyla chráněna. Po povstání byly některé místní paláce vyrabovány a poškozeny. Na volném prostranství zbudovali Britové kasárna.

Před příjezdem britské panovnické rodiny do Indie v roce 1911 bylo rozhodnuto o částečné obnově areálu. Opraveny a přebudovány byly ale jen některé stavby. V roce 1913 vyhlásili Britové areál za památkově chráněný. Až do roku 2003 jeho část využívala stále indická armáda, poté byla správa předána místnímu archeologickému muzeu, které mělo provést jeho renovaci. Od roku 2007 je Červená pevnost součástí světového dědictví UNESCO.

In our house, I try to serve mostly organic food. That's because I know it's better for my family.
Also, for me, it's practically a necessity. I have a potentially crippling nerve disease. But my health has improved to the point where I can live a normal life, thanks to clean eating and a slew of natural remedies.
I'm amazed at how much better I feel after getting rid of the junk food and going organic. It's my fervent hope that other people suffering from chronic, degenerative diseases do the research they need, in order to learn more about staying healthy.
I realize organic food costs more than conventional food. That's why I always try to give my readers options. If you're able to grow your own produce, using organic vegetable seeds, there's great potential to save a lot of money.
Also, in recent years, a growing number of people are starting to realize we're living in perilous times. The infrastructure is probably more fragile than we realize. We've become heavily dependent upon our food being trucked in long distance. This has definitely peaked an interest in self sufficiency and seed saving.
In any event, it's now easy to find organic seeds online. These are not to be confused with heirloom seeds, which simply refers to how a particular strain of seed has been bred. Organic seeds are harvested from plants grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Where Can I Buy Organic Vegetable Seeds?
The seeds on this page are organic, which means they come from plants that aren't sprayed with chemical pesticides or herbicides. It's also possible to find seeds that are both organic and heirloom, such as the selections shown below. Many gardeners and seed savers prefer heirloom seeds. That's because the plants they yield tend to remain the same in successive generations.
The seed kit shown below contains 16 plant varieties, including basil, cilantro, watermelon, cantaloupe, carrot, tomato, zucchini, cherry tomato, beet, lettuce, kale, cucumber, snap peas, sweet pepper, jalapeno and onion. These seeds are USDA-certified organic.
This is a large lot of 25,000 organic non hybrid non GMO heirloom seeds. These seeds are hermetically sealed to maintain maximum freshness. Instructions on planting and spacing are included in this kit. The seeds in this kit are derived from plants grown in the United States.
Research is beginning to show that organic fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than conventionally grown produce.
Organic produce likely contains micro-nutrients that may not be found in food grown with chemical fertilizer. There's also evidence that foods grown in depleted soil may cause health problems. This possible link was discovered by a Hungarian researcher named Dr. Jozsef Beres, PhD. He found that cancer rates in Hungary shot up precipitously in the years following World War II, when farmers adopted new growing methods. He theorized this was because people were becoming deficient in certain trace nutrients.
Organic fruits and vegetables are not sprayed with toxic pesticides or herbicides.
Organic seeds are not genetically modified.
Here is another choice if you are looking for heirloom organic non GMO seeds. Shown here is a set of 12 heirloom vegetables, which includes USDA-certified organic eggplant, bush beans, beets, broccoli, lettuce, zucchini, spinach, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, yellow squash, spinach and golden yellow tomatoes.

U.S. honors return of presumed Korean War dead
U.N. Command Honor Guard members move cases of remains from one C-17 to another during a repatriation ceremony at Osan Air Base, South Korea, Aug. 1, 2018. (U.S. Air Force)
HONOLULU (AP) — In an emotional and solemn ceremony, the remains of dozens of presumed casualties from the Korean War were we escorted by military honor guards onto U.S. soil on Wednesday, 65 years after an armistice ended the conflict and weeks after President Donald Trump received a commitment from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for their return.
The U.S. military believes the bones are those of U.S. servicemen and potentially servicemen from other United Nations member countries who fought alongside the U.S. on behalf of South Korea during the war. What is expected to be an exhaustive analysis and identification process will soon begin.
"Some have called the Korean War the 'forgotten war.' But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten," Vice President Mike Pence said at a ceremony welcoming the remains, which were flown from South Korea earlier in the day. "Today, our boys are coming home."
Each container was accompanied by one Marine, one sailor, one soldier and one airman. They set them gently on risers lined up inside the hangar as Pence stood watching with his hand over his heart. Adm. Phil Davidson, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, saluted. Some of the invited guests wiped tears from their eyes during the procession of the containers off the planes.
Sixteen other United Nations member countries fought alongside U.S. service members on behalf of South Korea. Some of them, including Australia, Belgium, France and the Philippines, have yet to recover some of their war dead from North Korea.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has said some remains could turn out to be those of missing from other nations. He said last week that the return was a positive step but not a guarantee that the bones are American.
"Whosoever emerges from these aircraft today begins a new season of hope for the families of our missing fallen," Pence said. "Hope that those who are lost will yet be found. Hope that after so many years of questions, they will have closure."
North Korea handed over the remains last week. A U.S. military plane made a rare trip into North Korea to retrieve the 55 cases.
Hanwell Kaakimaka's uncle, John Kaakimaka, is among those who never came home.
"We've been watching the news, and we've been hopeful that my uncle is among the remains," he said, adding that it could bring his family some closure.
His uncle, who was from Honolulu, was a corporal in the 31st Infantry Regiment of the Army's 7th Infantry Division. He went missing on or about Dec. 2, 1950.
Hanwell Kaakimaka said the story he heard from his dad was that his uncle was injured and was being brought back from the front when Chinese troops overran the area and attacked the convoy.
The Kaakimaka family provided DNA samples to the U.S. military's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency over a decade ago, hoping officials would be able to make a match.
The agency identifies remains of servicemen killed in past conflicts. It typically uses bones, teeth and DNA to identify remains along with any items that may have been found with remains like uniforms, dog tags and wedding rings. But North Korea only provided one dog tag with the 55 boxes it handed over last week.
Before the remains were put on military planes bound for Hawaii, hundreds of U.S. and South Korean troops gathered at a hanger at the Osan base in South Korean for the repatriation ceremony.
The repatriation is a breakthrough in a long-stalled U.S. effort to obtain war remains from North Korea.
There are 7,699 U.S. service members listed as unaccounted for from the 1950-53 Korean War, of which about 5,300 are believed to have died on North Korean soil. The remainder are those who died in South Korea but have not been recovered; those who died in air crashes at sea or on ships at sea, as well as a number who are believed to have been taken to China.
The bones' return was part of an agreement reached during a June summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump thanked Kim for the return.
During the summit, Kim also agreed to "work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" in return for Trump's promise of security guarantees. Trump later suspended annual military drills with South Korea which North Korea had long called an invasion rehearsal.
But Trump now faces criticism at home and elsewhere that North Korea hasn't taken any serious steps toward disarmament and may be trying to buy time to weaken international sanctions against it.
North Korea halted nuclear and missile tests, shut down its nuclear testing site and began dismantling facilities at its rocket launch site. But many experts say those are neither irrevocable nor serious steps that could show the country is sincere about denuclearization.
North Korea may want to use the remains' return to keep diplomacy with the United States alive and win a reciprocal U.S. concession. Experts say the North likely wants a declaration of the end of the Korean War as part of U.S. security assurances.
An armistice that ended the Korean War has yet to be replaced with a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula in a technical state of war. North Korea has steadfastly argued its nuclear weapons are meant to neutralize alleged U.S. plans to attack it.
Kim Yong-Ho reported from Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Associated Press writers Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul and Robert Burns in Washington contributed to this report.

Not to get too sentimental...but...what are you thankful for?
As for us, too many to count - a great remodel that finished on time, our employees who worked through the loud construction, Hendersonville for being so good to us over the years, OUR CUSTOMERS (you guys rock!), our sweet new blessing this year, Evie Drew who has stolen our hearts, and so much more. Take a minute and express gratitude this Thanksgiving. I've never known anyone who heard "thank you" too much.
Ok, on to the food and wine!
Turkey or ham? Do you offer both to guests or do you secretly pick your favorite to serve? Are you going rogue this year and serving bacon as the main meat? Sign me up! Bluegrass has wines that compliment whatever you choose.
Turkey is traditionally not "packed with flavor" like ham or beef. Sure, you can add all kinds of rubs and spice combinations or deep fry it to add flavor, but at the end of the day, turkey is mild. Like most poultry, the flavor is greatly enhanced by a nice wine pairing.
Riesling varieties work with turkey because of the fruit and floral notes and can be either dry or sweet. Flavors can vary from apricot and honey to peach and pineapple. Rieslings are a top pick as its clarifying acidity pairs well with fixins like sweet potato casserole, herb-filled stuffing or a slice of apple pie. The crispness of a Riesling will be a refreshing addition to your Thanksgiving feast.
A great dry white wine option, the Gewurztraminer has some attitude. The aromatic gusto and spicy palate appeal hold up against turkey and gravy and rich and creamy side dishes like mac n' cheese and smashed potatoes.
Ham, full of flavor and rolled in honey and brown sugar, is delicious. The whole house gets infused with the aroma...yummm. So, what wine will compliment this full flavor meat?
We shortened the name above so you can find it easily in the store. This delicious French blended wine will pair with either turkey or ham. The full bodied red (Rouge) matches well with thick cut ham and fresh roasted vegetables.
Pinot Noir typically exhibits a combination of fruit and earthy flavors like cherry, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, mushroom, leather, and notes of gaminess. All of these will compliment a ham plus grandma's famous cherry cobbler. Pinots are dry, but not like a Cabernet, and they play nice with poultry, so this will will pair with turkey, too.
No matter what meat you choose, remember to offer guests both a red and white. Personal preference will generally trump any expert advice, and your guests will be happy to have variety. Say grace, dig in, and drink up! Happy Thanksgiving.

With the April tax deadline fast approaching, Americans start to realize we maybe should have made additional charitable gifts in 2016 to receive a more robust tax deduction. The good news is, with a little planning, you can turn that realization into next year's reality. It's never too early to plan ways to maximize the impact of your charitable gifts and achieve a favorable tax outcome for 2017 at the same time.

Patrons can also expect an entirely Barbie-themed service, such as a photo opportunity in the doll's pink-colored high heels, trying on Barbie-style clothes and enjoying Barbie-inspired menus at the hotel's MADERA restaurant.

La Riviera ligure è il tratto di costa marina – o riviera – che si affaccia sul mar Ligure e si estende da Cap Martin in Francia a Capo Corvo (Provincia della Spezia).

Questo territorio attraversa tutte e quattro le province liguri di Savona, Imperia, Genova e La Spezia, per una lunghezza complessiva di circa 350 km.

La Riviera ligure si suddivide in Riviera di Levante, ad est di Genova-Voltri, il punto più a Nord del mar Ligure alla foce del torrente Leira che comprende quindi anche la città di Genova e termina al golfo della Spezia, e Riviera di Ponente, ad ovest di Genova-Voltri fino al limite occidentale del principato monegasco.

Tra gli scali marittimi e commerciali di questo tratto vi si trova il porto di Genova, fra i più importanti del mar Mediterraneo, e i porti di Savona-Vado e della Spezia.

Caratteristiche

Riviera di Ponente

La Riviera di Ponente è caratterizzata da spiagge sabbiose e fondali profondi. Le principali località balneari sono (da est verso ovest): Varazze, Finale Ligure, Loano, Alassio, Andora, Diano Marina, Sanremo, Bordighera e Mentone (Francia) La Riviera di Ponente è detta anche Riviera dei Fiori nel tratto in corrispondenza della provincia di Imperia e Riviera delle Palme in quella di Savona.

Riviera di Levante

La Riviera di Levante è caratterizzata dalla presenza di spiagge con sabbia frammista a sassi e scogliere che si protendono a picco sul mare. In questo tratto di costa vi sono numerosi luoghi di elevato interesse turistico, quali Camogli, Portofino, il golfo del Tigullio e le Cinque Terre. All'estremità orientale si trova il golfo della Spezia, sul quale si affaccia l'omonimo capoluogo di provincia, chiamato anche "golfo dei Poeti" per il grande numero di poeti che in passato frequentavano le sue coste. Alla Spezia trovano sede un importante porto militare e mercantile, ed alle estremità del golfo sorgono i pittoreschi borghi di Tellaro, Lerici e Porto Venere.

Isole
Di fronte alla costa, a poche centinaia di metri di distanza da essa, vi sono cinque isole: Gallinara e Bergeggi (in provincia di Savona) per quanto riguarda la Riviera di ponente; Palmaria, Tino e Tinetto  per quanto concerne la Riviera di Levante.

Job recruiters discriminate against Muslims, and it doesn't end at the interview stage
Interview discrimination on ethnic grounds is rife in many countries of the world and little better than 50 years ago. If we are to finally get to grips with this problem, employers need to be aware of their potential biases when they review job applications
Guess who's getting hired. adriaticfoto
Attakrit Leckcivilize, University of Aberdeen
To mark the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the House of Commons in the UK held a debate the other day. Among the topics covered were Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and the far right. Leading the debate, Labour MP Faisal Rashid said:
If our institutions and policies are not doing enough to stem the tide of a resurgence in racism, we need to end complacency. If we in our hearts can imagine a better world, let us keep on fighting for it and eliminate racism from our society forever.
Few would disagree with the sentiment in those words, but the debate was equally notable in what it overlooked. One of the worst issues, for instance, is employment, but barely a word was said on the subject. To anyone who is aware of the scale of the problem, this will seem like a disappointing oversight.
One major issue is interview discrimination. A study from the University of Oxford recently showed that black and Asian people have to send almost twice as many job applications as white British people before they get a response. As if that wasn't bad enough, the rate of discrimination was little better than 50 years ago.
It also echoed research commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions in 2009, which found that in major UK cities, ethnic minority applicants were significantly less likely to be called for an interview than people with white-sounding names – regardless of which ethnic group they belonged to. A BBC survey from 2017 had similar findings, too, while the UK government now publishes employment statistics to shine a light on the problem in the public sector.
Beyond Britain
Studies in other Western countries confirm similar issues. Interview discrimination on ethnic grounds is rife in the Netherlands, for instance, while research in France and Germany has shown similar results in relation to Muslims in those countries. In the German study, for example, there was strong evidence that employers discriminated against applicants with Turkish-sounding names when they included pictures of themselves with headscarves on their CVs.
Anti-Muslim bias remains a major problem. Odua Images
My research explored what underpins such discrimination. We carried it out in Hanover in northern Germany, where I was based in my previous research post at Leibniz University of Hannover. Unlike those previous French and German studies, which involved sending fake CVs to real employers, we had 120 students play the part of HR personnel in a laboratory. Roughly four-fifths of our participants were of white German background. Each student had to review between 30 and 50 applications for around eight to ten different jobs, ranging from high-skilled to low-skilled and with more or less customer contact.
They could see applicants' names and photos on the cover pages of CVs and had to assess them based on work experience, expected salary, education, computer skills and English skills. We included some Turkish-looking candidates, including different CVs where the same women were photographed either with and without a headscarf. If our recruiters saw one of these women without a headscarf in one set of applications, we ensured they would see her with a headscarf next time around, and vice versa.
Our participants did not significantly prefer German-looking candidates over Turkish-looking ones, after controlling for the fact that they tended to see the German photos used in our experiment as more attractive. They did discriminate against candidates with headscarves, however, particularly in high-skilled occupations and jobs with more customer contact – and men and older participants tended to discriminate more.
Having said that, applicants with headscarves were not automatically less likely to be called for an interview. Where they were stronger in certain other areas, such as education and work experience, this cancelled out the discrimination and in some cases even put them in a stronger position than "German-looking" rivals with comparable strengths overall. We suspected that the recruiters had prejudices about the abilities of Muslim women which they set aside when they found other evidence that ran contrary.
While there is not the same standard practice of including a photo in your CV in the likes of the UK and France, photos are still common currency in these countries because recruiters commonly look up candidates on social media sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn.
Minimising discrimination
If we are to finally get to grips with this problem, employers need to be aware of their potential biases when they review job applications. Standard online application forms that filter out irrelevant information can often help – as was shown in the Department for Work and Pensions study I mentioned earlier.
While it can be helpful for employers to look at an applicant's social media profile, it can blur your objective judgement if you do it too early in the recruitment process. If you can't resist looking at LinkedIn, one left-field solution – I kid you not – is this Google Chrome extension which automatically replaces applicants' photos with random pictures of dogs.
Job applicants who are either Muslim or from ethnic minorities need to be aware of recruiters' unconscious biases, too – as well as the fact that they can be overcome. Sometimes of course there is also the potential to benefit from an employer's positive discrimination policy.
Unfortunately, discrimination doesn't end during the interview process. In the UK, there are still sizeable pay gaps between ethnic workers and white counterparts who do the same job. Some of this can be explained by differences in skills or work experience, but a large proportion appears to be discrimination. So while job market discrimination may not be as fixed and final as some people think, there is still a huge battle ahead to create a truly level playing field for employees. If the UK's politicians would make this problem more of a priority, it would be an important step in the right direction.

Welcome to my review of the Lindy CROMO IEM-75 Dual Driver in ear monitor headphones.
The Lindy CROMO IEM-75 dual driver design has been developed to deliver a more spacious and defined sound. Each earpiece contains a 15mm driver for bass and midrange and a 7mm driver for high frequencies, which are then tuned within the acoustic chamber to deliver high quality and accurate sound. The housing is a black chrome aluminium enclosure, which offers rigidity for the drivers when playing music. What is impressive is the price. Just £69.98.
In the box there are 3 sizes of super-soft ear tips. The CROMO IEM-75 comes with an attached 1.2 m cable, which is terminated with a 3.5 mm gold-plated stereo jack plug. Also included within the box is a carry pouch to protect the CROMO IEM- 75's when not in use. The headphone cable is thin and not user replaceable.
I tested the Lindy in ear headphones using my Samsung Galaxy S7 and also using a headphone amplifier – the Oppo HA-2 and iBasso D14 Bushmaster. The good news is these in-ear monitors are relatively easy to drive straight from my Samsung Galaxy S7, but like all headphones using a dedicated amplifier adds extra control, finesse and drama. Lindy classify these as in ear monitors with a dual driver setup. One driver for the mid and bass, and the other for the treble. Listening to a range of genres, the CROMO IEM-75 have a distinctive characteristic that allows for the mid and treble to flourish without the bass killing the music. These are tonally accurate and at times feel like a little bass light. However, not everyone wants over processed thumping bass. With modern pop, rock, classical, jazz and blues the Lindy headphones were engaging, with nuances coming out in the tracks that I had not heard before. The sound stage was reasonable too. I enjoyed listening to these for hours on end.
For more information visit Lindy Headphones.
The Lindy CROMO IEM-75 add to Lindy's affordable headphone range, offering good value and sounding headphones. These are recommended for those that desire in-ear monitor sound and not an over processed bass heavy headphone.
Gavin, has you Dual Sim Note 7 arrived? Mine also from from.ae is at Heathrow.
Not yet would you believe. Waiting for the FedEx tracking to update. Which service did you use? Can't believe yours is ahead of mine. When did you order yours?
I ordered mine late evening on Sunday after hours for from.ae. i could only choose DHL from the mobile online shop. Seems to have arrived a day early based on DHL predicted delivery date of next Tuesday. Despatched AM UAE time yesterday. I may try to pick up from sorting office tomorrow.
Seems like DHL was just a fast as FedEx and at a fraction of the cost too. That's annoying.

WWII 8TH ARMY AIR FORCE FILM TITLED "THE FIGHT FOR THE SKY"
This DVD contains the uncut WWII 16mm film titled "The Fight for the Sky" that was produced by the 8th Army Air Force during WWII. The film has incredible footage, from escorting heavy bombers on missions over Europe, to destroying the Luftwaffe over those skies, and finally, after gaining total air superiority, destroying anything that moved on the ground, including what is believed to be Field Marshall's Erwin Rommel's staff car, in which he was seriously injured. This is simply an incredible look at the fight for air superiority over Europe.
This is a great tribute to all who fought, despite heavy losses, to ensure a total allied victory.


Though traditionally labeled "Baroque," the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries in music could as easily be termed "early modern," since many of the genres that are popular today—were established during that time.
Wendy Heller's Music in the Baroque traces the production and consumption of music in the seventeenth and early eighteenth century. Going beyond a history of styles, the text explores patronage, education, religious and civic ritual, theater, and visual culture. Heller focuses not only on the nature of music in the Baroque period, but also on the very different ways in which men and women experienced music in their daily lives. Treating music as an expression of political and national identity, she examines it in the context of the era's art and literature, political and religious conflicts, and contentious issues of class and gender.
Like the other volumes in the series, Music in the Baroque brings a fresh perspective to the study of music by emphasizing social, cultural, intellectual, and political contexts of the music. Wendy Heller looks far beyond the notes on the page or the details of composers' lives to embrace audiences, performers, institutions, and social settings. For example, the text argues that a narrow focus on composers and works obscures important aspects of eighteenth-century musical life, such as the growth of the symphony orchestra and the internationalization of musical culture.
Along with the other volumes in the series, Music in the Baroque is designed for maximum flexibility in the classroom. The text may be packaged with the accompanying 31-work anthology, with Strunk's Source Readings in Music History, or with Norton Critical Scores, all at a significant discount. The text is also available as a low-priced ebook.

Party of Sexual Predator Protectors?
Okay, so when did the Grand Old Party, the Republican Party, become the party of sexual predator protection? There was the Access Hollywood tape… gee, that was just "lock room talk." "Boys will be boys." Women came forward, but the GOP marched on to an electoral college victory. The President stands credibly accused by a former Playboy model, a porn star/director, and others. What's the expression? "A fish rots from the head down." The Republicans stood by him.
Roy Moore wanted a seat in the US Senate. Republicans supported him… in the face of credible accusations of sexual misconduct with minors. Moore lost, to the credit of the citizens of Alabama who didn't buy into the idea that the man is always right, the woman is always hysterical (and wrong), and it's not "right" to ruin a man's reputation — even if the man did a banner job of wrecking the woman's life and reputation.
Where was Rep. Jim Jordan's attention when members of the wrestling team at OSU were being assaulted? He didn't know? How do assistant coaches — those who are actually the closest to team members — not know? How do they not report what they know or suspect? Did he not care enough to investigate rumors? Check on what team members were saying? Where are the Republicans? Where are the calls for a full investigation in addition to the one conducted by the university?
Former Congressman Blake Farenthold said he was going to pay $84,000 in a sexual harassment settlement; he ultimately decided to pay — absolutely nothing. Nothing. Where are his fellow Republicans calling for him to live up to his agreement? Crickets. Silence. There is no reason to believe the Republicans will do anything to rectify this situation.
And here in Nevada — Storey County Sheriff Gerald Antinoro was the subject of investigations for sexual misconduct. AG Adam Laxalt decided not to press any charges, and accepted Antinoro's endorsement in the gubernatorial race. From the Republicans? More crickets…silence…acceptance…a willingness to look away, to let boys be boys, to dismiss locker room talk, to set the lowest bar possible for men's conduct. No accountability. No responsibility. No consequences.
So, when did the GOP become the party protecting the likes of Brett Kavanaugh? When did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell know there were more than just the one allegation of sexual misconduct facing Kavanaugh? Were the Republicans shoving the confirmation vote in order to get Kavanaugh (Trump's Get Out Of Jail Free Card) on the bench before more women came forward with their stories?
Enough! Contrary to what some Republicans have tried to tell me via my television screen, most high school boys (both back in the Jurassic Era during my attendance and today) are not sexual predators in training — or practice. Some are, but that's why these cases are "news" — they are not the standard, or even the most common practice. Yes, there are employers who are guilty of sexual misconduct — an inordinate number of whom seem to have served on the Republican National Committee finance arm — but, this is not the norm. These examples are outside the bounds of acceptable conduct, and they should be seen as such.
Register. Help others register. Check your registration. Help others check their registration.
Vote. Help your friends and neighbors get to their polling stations.
There is no other antidote to political corruption than voting. Good old fashioned voting. Good old fashioned American citizens voting, and facing down the Russian bots behind the "walk away" movement or other cynical attempts to depress the vote.
VOTE like your right to vote depends on it.

President Cheapskate and the Amazing Non-Appearing Wedding Gift
One can only hope the gift is "in the mail" as we speak, but I am definitely not going to hold my breath. As we might expect, the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Sussex ask for charitable donations in lieu of wedding gifts. Some national leaders donated to local charities promoting causes related to the young people's interests, others were more creative, and some responses were just heartwarming — an abused Indian bull rescued, a couple of namesake koalas in an animal shelter with accompanying donations for habitat maintenance, and so on. And, then there was Donald J. Trump:
"White House spokesperson Lindsay Walters said last week the Trumps will make a contribution to one of the seven charities on the royal couple's list but did not specify which one. Neither Trump tweeted about the wedding." [USAT]
We've seen this movie before — and thanks to the intrepid reporting of David Fahrenthold of the Washington Post, we know that 'the movie' is an entire series, with more versions than Star Wars and Planet of the Apes combined. So, the contribution will be made to "one of the seven charities." Which one?
"The couple have chosen charities, which represent a range of issues that they are passionate about, including sport for social change, women's empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the Armed Forces. Many of these are small charities and the couple are pleased to be able to amplify and shine a light on their work." [eonline]
Sport for social change? How likely is it that Trump will donate to a sport for social change charity while he's busy vilifying professional athletes who are protesting police brutality toward ethnic minorities? Women's empowerment? A donation from a man who has at least 16 public allegations of unwanted sexual conduct against him? Who faces legal actions from Summer Zervos and Stephanie Clifford?
Conservation? A donation from the father of two trophy animal slaughtering sons? A man whose administration allows the hunting of hibernating bears and their cubs? Allows the killing of vulnerable animals swimming in Alaskan rivers? Who allows the killing of wolf cubs? Probably not.
The environment? A donation from the man who won't fire the egregious Scott Pruitt from his well protected perch at the EPA? From the man who promotes pipelines across sacred lands? From the self-same person who wants to roll back fuel efficiency standards?
Homelessness? A donation from a man whose administration is cutting funding for programs to help homeless people? [Newsweek] Whose administration is on track to make the situation worse? [WaPo] Not much chance for this category to make the cut.
HIV? Remember the interview with Bill Gates who describes two meetings with the President:
"Both times he wanted to know the difference between HIV and HPV and so I was able to explain that those are things that are rarely confused with each other." [NBC]
Gates is being entirely too kind, almost NO ONE confuses the two diseases. Most people who don't know, understand the difference when it's explained ONCE.
Armed Forces? "Cadet Bone Spurs™" As he was so aptly described by Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) seems content to lie to newly minted Navy officers about pay increases [MilTimes] and to insure there's funding for his parade. Other military and veterans' issues not so much.
In addition to his endemic lack of interest in social change, empowerment, ecological, and real military issues Fahrenthold's discoveries should be kept in mind. Trump will make grand promises. He will then:
Try to get someone else to come up with the coin of the realm to actually pay for the donation.
Try to avoid payment until there's so much publicity he can't stand the spotlight any longer.
Stall until he doesn't have to actually pay up at all.
Therefore, the best unsolicited advice for the young Duke and Duchess might be to enjoy their honeymoon and not worry about whether the ersatz leader of the US political system will cough up for a wedding gift donation — he probably won't, and if he does you can be just as amazed as the rest of us.

He Worked Very Hard and We Wish Him Well…
I'd really hoped not to hear this kind of phrasing coming from the White House today, but… He did it, the President of the United State said of domestic abuser Rob Porter, "He worked very hard and we wish him well." (MSNBC) No, that really doesn't indicate that this Oval Office takes violence against women all that seriously. I truly don't care if he was the best paper pusher in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. He's a serial domestic abuser. I really don't care if he was the best filter of paper and proposals in the Universe. He's a serial domestic abuser. And, the President* didn't take the opportunity to even mention violence against women. What he said about a serial domestic abuser was that (a) he was gone and (b) the White House wished him well.
Domestic violence is a serious issue in Nevada. The Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence issued a report of 2016 statistics (pdf) on the subject, and it's discouraging to see that there were a total of 64,457 contacts made to authorities/agencies about domestic and sexual violence during that calendar year. 11,197 were repeated contacts. There were 24,567 "bednights" or overnight shelter provided to adults, and 1,411 provided to children. There were 13,589 incidents reported to police, resulting in 6,433 arrests. There were 5,128 cases in which the police were not contacted. There were 23,777 cases in which it is unknown if law enforcement was contacted. Additionally, there were 18,164 cases in which the referral for possible action is unknown.
It's not like domestic abuse and sexual violence are issues we can separate from other criminal acts or address with fast/quick solutions. The problem is cyclical:'
"Abuse tends to occur in cycles. It does not just go away and tends to get worse over time. Domestic violence and intimate partner violence typically, but not always, follows a pattern. There is a period of tension building; there is an episode of violence; and there is a time calm, or a "honeymoon" (Hancock, 2012). Research suggests the more severe the violence, the more chronic it is and the more likely it is to worsen over time (Lipsky et al., 2012)."
There is a direct link between domestic abuse and mass shootings:
"…mass shooters killed a partner or family member in 54% of shootings—which are defined as incidents in which four or more people are killed by guns. Between January 2009 and December 2016, 422 people were killed in domestic violence disputes; more than 40% of these people were children." [Fortune]
And women are the most likely victims:
"Over half of all homicides (55.3%) were IPV-related; 11.2% of victims of IPV-related homicide experienced some form of violence in the month preceding their deaths, and argument and jealousy were common precipitating circumstances. Targeted IPV prevention programs for populations at disproportionate risk and enhanced access to intervention services for persons experiencing IPV are needed to reduce homicides among women." (IPV = Intimate Partner Violence) [CDC]
Yes, to that last point because the 5th leading cause of death for women between the ages of 18-44 is homicide. So, we should be taking the issue of domestic and sexual violence seriously because it's a leading cause of death among women in the prime of their lives, because it's part of an escalating cycle of violence, one that too often leads to the kinds of mass shooting which shock the senses. And, no, I do not wish the perpetrators "well." I wish for police intervention, legal consequences, the collection of comprehensive statistics, the development and implementation of prevention programs, and the closing of the "boyfriend loophole" for the procurement of firearms.
No more — no more excuses, no more attempts at amelioration, no more minimizing the problem, no more … Time's Up.

Friday News and Notes
It's been many raccoons' ages since DB has done a good old fashioned amalgamation of good reporting and recommended reading. If we grant that the national media tends to be a flock/herd of creatures all fascinated by the latest shiny objects, it would be highly unfair to extend this critique to local and state reporters who are covering stories which may never travel beyond the borders but are essential to understanding real issues facing real people. Recommended reading from Nevada reporters:
Nevada: On the gubernatorial race — Nevada Independent article on Steve Sisolak and his position on so-called Sanctuary Cities. Those who want to keep up with Nevada political news, and Clark County politics will want to bookmark this source. "GOP bid for control in Nevada raises fear of endless recalls," in the Reno Gazette Journal is an essential read for the week. The Las Vegas Review Journal business section has a link to its coverage of the saga of Steve Wynn which is a good reference for his travails. Michael Roberson will be visiting Elko, NV with his "sanctuary cities" petition as part of his latest political machinations in the state. The Las Vegas Sun editorial says it's time to put tracer ammunition in the cross-hairs.
Women's Corner: "Top White House Officials Knew of Abuse Allegations Against Top Aides for Months", Washington Post. This excerpt summarizes the hypocrisy nicely:
"McGahn and other West Wing officials are under increasing pressure to explain why Porter was kept in a key role in which he had access to classified information and helped determine which articles and policy proposals made it to the president's desk while top Trump officials were aware for months of at least some of the serious allegations against him."
Let this sink in. A political campaign that railed day after day about spurious allegations of major misconduct and mismanagement of a few classified e-mails, some classified well after their initial release, has an individual who handled all manner of classified materials — some so classified that the classifications themselves are classified — who cannot get a security clearance because of his potential for compromise due to his attempts to cover past domestic abuse incidents. The White House excuse for slow authorizations appears to be "lots of people are new to government, and therefore take longer," however — when most background checks take four to six weeks to have some going on for a year seems beyond the pale.
A New York Times editorial asks what the President* might do if he really cared about violence against women? Maybe fill the of White House Adviser on violence against women (which has been vacant for over a year now) or maybe appoint a Department of Justice head of the Violence Against Women section, or maybe appoint a State Department ambassador at large on global women's issues? Advocate fully funding and implementing the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act? Encourage federal contributions to research on family violence?

The Age Old Problem
It's getting more difficult to discuss sexual misconduct allegations, perhaps because we've not addressed the important question Ruth Marcus ask in her column today:
The national debate over sexual harassment and sexual assault has reached an important and precarious moment as it shifts from what behavior is acceptable to what punishment is warranted. Having under-reacted for too long, are we now at risk of overreacting?
She has made a salient point. Is James A. disqualified from advancement because he patted a female fanny in times gone by? Is David B. disqualified from elected office because he has a documented history of advances on underage girls? Must Kevin C. resign because three women accuse him of improper behavior in the office? Must William D. resign because he settled one or more allegations of improper behavior out of court with non-disclosure agreements attached?
In short, the more women share their stories, the more complex the situation becomes because every situation is as different as the individuals and situation involved. Each of us is going to have to establish a framework for judgments, and there are some areas in which we should be in general agreement.
No one wants to be humiliated, objectified, and victimized. If someone's behavior has that effect on someone else, then it's bad. Period. Now, comes the hard part — how bad?
There's Harvey Weinstein, Roy Moore, and Donald Trump level bad. Multiple women have leveled multiple credible allegations of sexual misconduct, some of which fall into the illegal activity category, against these men. And, now, as Washington Post columnist Marcus suggests, how do we evaluate other, less serious charges?
Do we toss all the pigs to the wolves? Must every Congressman, Senator, or Staffer resign at the first instance in which an allegation is offered? Does every producer, reporter, business executive have to pack up the office after being charged in the court of public opinion? The One Size Fits All response certainly appears to simplify the problem but in fact may serve to make the overall situation more complicated.
No one should argue that a woman must feel any form of discomfort about coming forward to complain about crude behavior. Period. However, What does she do in a Zero Tolerance workplace about the co-worker at the office party who's had at least one too many from the open bar and did something for which he apologized profusely the next morning? Does it depend on "what he did?" On what he said afterwards? On how credible she finds his apology?
Perhaps one way to consider the problem is to operate from the premise: Believe the Women. If she's not satisfied, I'm probably not either. If she is satisfied with the resulting actions, I'm probably OK with the solution. I do reserve a modicum of skepticism for those whose allegations appear specious or whose persistence is all out of proportion to the available facts. (I'm thinking here of a woman whose allegations were once dismissed by Ken Starr.)
I do advocate for a woman's right to choose when to report instances of sexual harassment or misconduct. It should be HER call. Questions of assault, rape, and abuse are in another category in my estimation — these are legal issues in which the standards of the legal system should apply. Meanwhile….
What do we do with garden variety creeps? The fellows who don't make physical contact but who can clear the room simply by being in it. What do we do with the man who only refers applications from men to HR for follow up interviews? What do we think of men who are perfectly comfortable with the belief that men should earn more than women for the same job because he's supposed to be "bringing home the bacon?"
There's one solution I think will work to mitigate the problems — hire more women, select more women, elect more women. Then I await the day when some fellow in the interview waiting room worries that his suit may make him look fatter….

The Power and the Vainglory: Roy Moore's Sad Mad Power Grab
American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson described Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, without ever meeting him: "The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." The expression actually goes back a bit further in English literature, appearing as "counting spoons" in James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson.
"Why Sir, if the fellow does not think as he speaks he is lying; and I see not what honour he can propose to himself from having the character of a liar. But if he does really think there is no distinction between virtue and vice, why, Sir when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons."
The metaphor has lost some of its relevancy in an age wherein table spoons come not just in pewter or silver, but in aluminum, stainless steel, and various kinds of plastic. However, it holds its force as a description of the prudent response to voluble protestations of (self) righteousness.
Did we not wonder why the man was so vehemently anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-modernity? Why he insisted beyond all reason that a massive monument to the Ten Commandments be installed in his courthouse? Most counties are satisfied with a smaller, more tasteful, monument located on a nice piece of manicured lawn. Not so Mr. Moore. Most public officers were, at least grudgingly, willing to abide by the law of the land on gay marriage. Not so Mr. Moore.
Most people in this country are willing to tolerate a range of beliefs, even if such beliefs are personally objectionable. Not so Mr. Moore, who is essentially an eliminationist. Those with whom he disagrees should be silenced. Those of whom he does not approve must be incarcerated. Some scholars have associated the Nazi eliminationism with native antisemitism. The combination was violently toxic and heinously lethal. Moore espouses a particularly vehement hatred of Muslims — they are to be excluded from public office and civil society. Moore has decried that the "government started creating new rights in 1965." The date is instructive. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, and the decision in Griswold v. Connecticut was rendered in 1965. Mr. Moore is nothing new on the face of the earth. He's as old as patriarchal tribal conflict.
He's as old as the theories of female responsibility for leading First Man astray, as old as the opponents of the cults of Isis, Aphrodite, and Mother Earth. There's no single point of origin for misogyny, but Mr. Moore can find plenty of carefully selected Biblical passages to buttress his prejudices. We could also assemble a number of equally carefully selected passages to oppose his views. The common denominator for these views precipitate down to Power. Not necessarily sex, but power of one gender over another.
This isn't about a cultural issue, although support for Mr. Moore can be utilized as a "political wedge issue," under the category of Culture Wars. However, no matter how it's implemented, it's still not a cultural issue. It's still about good old fashioned garden variety power.
Why else would a 30+ year old man seek the attentions of teenage girls? Why else would a man grope? Not because it's a form of play — but because it's a display of power. And that's the last thing Mr. Moore needs to possess — more power over anyone, anywhere, anytime. The good people of Alabama deserve better representation than that which is so sadly demonstrated by Mr. Moore.

To Our Republican Neighbors: You Don't Get To Talk About Weinstein, Ever
Excuse me, but if Republicans are pleased to discuss the odious adventures of Harvey Weinstein, then I have one statement for them: STFU. They have no room to talk. They have no credibility on this subject. This isn't a matter of "both sides do it." No, this is a matter of no one should do it, and it's the Democrats, the Liberals, who are willing to back up their opprobrium with action. The Republicans, not so much.
Where's John Edwards? Certainly not in a leadership position in the Democratic Party. Compare to Sen. David Vitter, whose involvement with the DC Madam in 2007 was conveniently overlooked by Republicans in 2010 when he was returned to the Senate. Where's Anthony Weiner? Certainly not active in Democratic Party operations these days. How long did Republicans attempt to cover for Rep. Denny Hastert? How many blind eyes were averted from Rep. Mark Foley? And, now we come to one Donald J. Trump, who's been accused of various forms of sexual misconduct by at least 12 women (as of October 2016), and while we're on the topic … what's on the rest of those Access Hollywood Tapes, the ones we've not yet heard?
The ultimate irony is listening to Ultra Snowflake Tucker Carlson present his whackadoodle theory that Sec. Hillary Clinton is somehow responsible for enabling Weinstein's behavior while he's sitting in Bill O'Reilly's chair broadcasting on Roger Ailes network. As at least one comedian has observed, this renders irony officially dead.
If Republicans want to discuss the widespread and inhumane instances of spousal abuse, sexual assault and harassment, and downright misogyny, then they may do so — but they don't get the "both sides" do it argument so long as the Misogynist In Chief is in the White House, and they don't get to own it while their Secretary of Education is trying to make it harder to victims of assault on college campuses to report and sustain charges against their attackers.
Republicans don't have the high ground while they make it more difficult for women to control what happens to their own bodies. Please, don't try to convince me that you have women's interests at heart while removing contraceptive prescriptions from mandatory health insurance coverage. Don't tell me you care about women's health while passing some inane bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks, especially not when reputable scientific reports indicate there's no "pain" until at least after 29 weeks, and your evidence to the contrary is spurious at best. We know why late term abortions happen, either the woman couldn't get access to abortion services earlier because of unavailability or logistics, or there were serious complications which could be lethal for the fetus, the mother, or both. [Gutt]
Spare me the rhetoric while Republicans can find every dubious argument under the sun why women don't deserve to be paid the same as men for the same work. Thank you, I'd already heard that claptrap back in the '60s when I was told "men had to support the family," and other, equally risible bits of self-serving chatter. One of my favorite examples of the latter being "it'll just open the way for frivolous lawsuits," — yes, and now explain to me how a suit brought to gain equal pay for equal work is "frivolous?" But, but, but, there will be thousands of them! Thus admitting that the practice is general, and if that's the case then there shouldn't be thousands of cases, there probably ought to be millions.
So, spare me you Righteous Republican faux outrage. Spare me your pontification. Spare me your indignation and alarm until you have called for all the women who have alleged sexual misconduct on the part of your standard bearer in the Oval Office to be acknowledged and recompensed. Until then: STFU.

Bryony Frost creates history on Frodon in King George VI Chase at Kempton
Bryony Frost embraced trainer Paul Nicholls after victory on Frodon
Bryony Frost became the first female jockey to win the King George VI Chase, riding Frodon to victory at Kempton.
The 20-1 chance led throughout the three-mile race and held off the fast-finishing Waiting Patiently (12-1), ridden by Brian Hughes, to give trainer Paul Nicholls his 12th King George win.
Hat-trick-chasing Clan Des Obeaux, the 85-40 favourite, was back in third.
"I have had the absolute best time going round there on him," said a delighted Frost, from Devon.
"He has just smashed everyone's expectations. I don't argue with him too much as he is his own personality.
"I cannot stress how much this horse means to me – he is my life. You dream as a little girl to ride a horse like this."
The win gave Frost her 175th career win, making her become the most successful female National Hunt jockey of all-time.
Frost and Frodon had also made history at the 2019 Cheltenham Festival, winning the Grade One Ryanair Chase.
This time, in front of deserted stands at the Surrey track, Frodon was in front by the first fence, allowing Frost to dictate the pace.
Her rivals were never able to get past her and some solid jumping on the home straight maintained the momentum.
Nicholls was surprised that his 12th win in the traditional Boxing Day showpiece had come with the outsider of his four runners.
"It's amazing – although obviously he's a very good horse on his day," he said.
"He loves it round here, and I said to Bryony: 'Just go as quick as you can, keep galloping and sail on – you know he's tough and brave.'
"You've just seen today what a remarkable horse he is. He never knows when he's beaten."
Earlier, Silver Streak beat Epatante, this year's Champion Hurdle winner, to take the Christmas Hurdle.
Epatante had gone off as the 1-5 favourite but Silver Streak and jockey Adam Wedge put in a superb display of jumping.
An error at the third-last did not help Epitante and jockey Aidan Coleman and although they tried to rally, Silver Streak went away again to win by six and a half lengths.

The Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes in Romania () is a government-sponsored organization whose mission is to investigate the crimes and abuses conducted while Romania was under communist rule, prior to December 1989. Following the Romanian Revolution, Romania's Communist government was overthrown and a democratic president was elected in May 1990.

The main objectives of the Institute are the gathering of data, documents and testimonies regarding all oppressive actions exerted by the system, and notifying the state's criminal investigation departments. In addition, the Institute informs the public of the crimes, abuses and instigations to crime, conducted in the name of "class struggle" by the powerful people within the communist system. The Institute was led for many years by Marius Oprea, president, a University of Bucharest graduate with a PhD in history who is an archeologist and historian; since January 2020, it is being led by Alexandra Toader.

The institute is a member organisation of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience.

News
According to a 2006 report presented to Romanian President Traian Băsescu, up to one million people were killed or persecuted by communist authorities in Romania.

In December 2009, France 24, the French-based news agency, reported on the Institute's progress in documenting the communist crimes in Romania, including finding the buried remains of some of the many thousands of people alleged to have been murdered.

International partners
The Institute has cooperation agreements with the Institute of National Remembrance and the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, government agencies of Poland and the Czech Republic, respectively, tasked with the investigation of Nazi and Communist crimes.

President Trump to Nominate Elaine C. Duke as Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security
Submitted by Alexander J. Segal on February 1, 2017 - 1:21am
On January 30, 2017, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Elaine C. Duke as the deputy secretary of Homeland Security.
In a statement on the nomination, the Secretary of Homeland Security, John Kelly, noted that Duke served for nearly 30 years in the federal government [link]. Her most recent position was the undersecretary for management at the Department of Homeland Security. During her service with the federal government, Duke received several awards, including the Presidential Meritorious Rank Award, the DHS Secretary's Medal, and the Transportation Security Administration's Medal.
Interestingly, there were reports that the President had intended to pick the Secretary of State of Kansas, Kris Kobach, as the deputy secretary. According to The Hill, Secretary Kelly opposed the idea of Kobach as the deputy secretary of Homeland Security.1 Assuming the reports are true, I agree with Secretary Kelly's reservations about Kobach. Kobach is a hawk on immigration enforcement, but tends to support restrictive policies on legal immigration that could benefit the United States as well. I am hopeful that Secretary Kelly's new team — with the addition of the new deputy secretary of Homeland Security — will promote strong immigration enforcement while being a voice for good pro-immigration policies in the Trump administration.

Q: Attaching javadoc to jar and link to Android Studio I have javadoc documentation written for a .jar library that I want the user to be able to see right after he imports our jar into a project. In eclipse, I was able to do this by adding a libname.jar.properties file that points to where my javadoc directory is. This way when I import my jar into a project in eclipse I would be able to see the javadoc documentation when I hover over one of the api methods in my library.
Basically, I want to be able to have the same functionality in Android studio. Any help would be appreciated.
