For more than 20 years, Landmarq Tree Service has been one of the most highly recommended companies for tree service in Mendham NJ. In order to show our appreciation for faithful customers, we are always striving to find new means to achieve total customer satisfaction with our services. One example of our efforts to fulfill the needs of local residents is our 24 hour emergency tree service in Mendham NJ which guarantees we are available to get rid of dangerous thunderstorm damaged trees as soon as possible. Furthermore, we're constantly trying to find strategies to reduce your tree removal cost.
Employing a contractor for tree removal in Mendham NJ is not just a matter of convenience. It's also crucial for your security. Recently the Tree Care Industry Association performed an assessment of 2013 media reports of homeowner tree accidents. Forty-five tree cutting or tree removal accidents were discovered, and 28 percent of these were fatal. A lot of homeowners opt to not hire a professional company for tree removal in Mendham NJ and wrongly believe they can perform this work on their own. They decide to perform the work themselves with the intention of saving on their tree removal cost only to find the work is not as simple as it appears.
A contractor for tree service in Mendham NJ will evaluate the state of the tree prior to cutting to discover which way the limb or entire tree is going to fall. This evaluation determines the weight distribution of the tree. Since defects inside the tree limb or trunk won't be readily evident, homeowners frequently are taken by surprise when a large limb falls when they're doing their own tree cutting. This is a mistake which frequently leads to injury when a tree limb falls and hits the ladder. Now money has to be spent on medical treatment as opposed to saving on their tree removal cost. For this reason it is important to make the safe choice to hire a professional contractor for tree service in Mendham NJ.
Hazard trees are another safety issue that necessitates contacting a contractor for tree service in Mendham NJ. When disease, insect infestation, storm damage or rot weaken the limbs or trunk of a tree, the danger of a huge limb falling on your home or family member considerably rises. Furthermore, it's frequently difficult to determine the extent of the damage to the tree's internal structure, which will make tree cutting or tree removal even more dangerous. Landmarq provides 24/7 emergency tree service in Mendham NJ is to encourage homeowners to call for an experienced tree service contractor to manage hazard tree cutting and tree removal so they don't risk injuring themselves.

The Channels • October 25, 2021 • https://www.thechannels.org/features/2021/10/25/sbccs-online-film-community-keeps-rolling-through-covid-19/

Director Irelyn Wesley explains to her actors what she wants from their performance on Saturday, Oct. 23 in Santa Barbara, Calif. Wesley didn't like the way the light hit her subjects, so she had a crew member hold up a canvas to bounce the light onto them.
The student-organized Film Community offers a platform to gain experience, build connections and discover opportunities.
Catherine Quinn, film student and co-president, describes the community as "a collaboration between students," not directly related to City College. This group provides students with an insight into areas that may interest them.
"Students are able to connect outside of class, get on sets, and learn from speakers," Quinn said.
The club is basically a catalog of students, connecting those wanting to produce a film with departments and contacts that will help create a successful production. Students use the group's Facebook and Instagram pages to collaborate on projects.
Although the community is student-run, advisors are available for help.
"We do reach out to some professors for certain resources, even the theatre department gets excited to help us out," Quinn said. "But when it comes down to running [the community], securing speakers and solidifying resources, that's all student-run."
The Film Community hosts workshops to guide students and teach them a variety of ways to produce films. Organizers select the workshops by listening to what students struggle with.
"We've had a lot of students interested in directing or photography positions, but they're inexperienced in the camera realm, so we've had technical camera workshops," film student and co-president Asiana Weddington said.
Workshop speakers are often alumni of the Film Community who have worked on sets and in the industry.
"[They're] a great resource because they're more willing to help students since they've been in the same position," Weddington said.
"We've been surprised with how many people, not even [alumni] but in the professional world, are so eager to talk to students and share their knowledge," Quinn said.
Due to the pandemic, workshops have been over Zoom, but this year they will have in-person opportunities as well.
Students have access to many resources through the group, including a catalog with around 50 contacts for potential help with their projects.
"When we do in-person networking events or have guest speakers, we have some crossover with students that study film at UCSB or Westmont, which has been really cool," Quinn said.
Anyone learning film in the Santa Barbara area is welcome to join, not just City College students.
"We've seen people join the community, and then start taking film classes [at City College]," the film student said. "Anyone in the community has access to the catalog. If they want to build a crew, they can refer to that and contact who they'd like."
The online organization not only builds bridges to fellow filmmakers but also gives students hands-on experiences on set.
The Film Community is available through their Instagram, Facebook and website for upcoming events and workshops.

Diceratherium is een uitgestorven soort neushoorns die ongeveer 33 miljoen jaar geleden tot het Midden-Mioceen voor 14 miljoen jaar geleden leefde in Noord-Amerika. Het was de eerste neushoornvertegenwoordiger met duidelijk gevormde hoorns. Diceratherium had twee hoorns, die alleen bij mannelijke dieren werden gevonden en, in tegenstelling tot de hedendaagse tweehoornige neushoorns, op de neus stonden. De vertegenwoordiger van de neushoorn leefde in gedeeltelijk open landschappen.

Kenmerken
Diceratherium bestond uit middelgrote tot zeer grote neushoornvertegenwoordigers en was het grootste landzoogdier van zijn tijd in Noord-Amerika tot de komst van de vroege slurfdieren. De middelgrote soort kon een hoofdstamlengte van 236 cm bereiken en had een schouderhoogte van ongeveer 121 cm, de grootste vertegenwoordigers waren aanzienlijk groter en overschreden de middelgrote soort in alle lengtes met 30%. De schedel was 42 tot 56 cm lang en was erg lang en plat. Het voorhoofd was duidelijk verdeeld in het achtergebied, de occiput had een meer rechthoekige vorm. Het neusbot vertoonde significante krommingen zowel lateraal als in de lengterichting en was zeer langwerpig. Aan de voorkant waren er twee naast elkaar geruwde oppervlakken die de positie van de hoorns aangeven. Deze stonden naast elkaar in paren, in tegenstelling tot de tandemhoorns van hedendaagse tweehoornige neushoorns. Het neusbot had geen verbinding met het intermaxillaire bot, maar was ver boven, de neusholte was relatief groot.

De onderkaak was tussen de 35 en 45 cm lang en had een robuust beenlichaam. De symfyse was ook sterk, kon tot 10 cm lang zijn en reikte tot de derde premolaar. De tanden waren iets minder in vergelijking met de voorganger van Diceratherium, Subhyracodon, en bevatten de volgende tandformule: . De binnenste snijtanden (I1) hadden een kleine, nagelachtige vorm, terwijl de buitenste (I2) conisch lang waren en schuin naar voren leidden met een lengte van maximaal 8,7 cm, zodat ze leken op kleine slagtanden. De hoektand ontbrak en er was een diastema van maximaal 7 cm lang voor het achterste gebit. Met uitzondering van de eerste, waren de premolaren duidelijk gemolariseerd en leken dus op de kiezen. Alle achterste kiezen waren licht gekroond (hypsodontisch). Het postcraniële skelet is bekend van enkele complete skeletvondsten. De wervelkolom bestond uit 7 cervicale, 19 thoracale, 5 lumbale, 3 sacrale en 21 staartwervels. Vooral de spinale processen op de thoracale wervels waren aanzienlijk massiever dan die van het nauw verwante Subhyracodon. Het lichaam was over het algemeen sterk en had lange, slanke ledematen, het dijbeen was tot 37 cm lang. De metafodieën waren relatief kort. Armen en benen eindigden elk in drie stralen met een sterk gevormde centrale straal.

Fossiele vondsten
Diceratherium is alleen bekend uit Noord-Amerika en wordt voornamelijk gevonden in de High Plains en het noordwesten van de Verenigde Staten. Een volledig skelet werd ontdekt in het Protaceras Bed in de buurt van de White River (South Dakota) in 1892, waaraan slechts een deel van de voorvoet, enkele ribben en het borstbeen ontbrak. Andere vondsten, met name schedels, maar ook postcraniële skeletelementen, komen uit de Brule-formatie, ook in South Dakota. Al deze vondsten zijn toegewezen aan de middelgrote soort D. tridactylum. Een complete schedel en ledematen van D. armatum is afkomstig van de John Day Formation in Oregon (John Day Fossil Beds National Monument). Veel materiaal van D. niobrarense kwam aan het licht uit de lagere Marsland-formatie in Nebraska en is een van de meest recente vondsten op 14 miljoen jaar oud. Overblijfselen van de zeer grote soort D. radtkei, waaronder een onderkaak en verschillende schedelfragmenten, zijn geïdentificeerd uit onder andere de koolstortbedden in het westen van Montana.

Paleobiologie
De min of meer hoge kroontanden suggereren een zekere specialisatie in hard plantaardig voedsel. Voor sommige vindplaatsen met overblijfselen van Diaceratherium, vooral in Oregon, worden alleen licht beboste, deels natte weidesteppen gereconstrueerd. Deze open landschappen zijn gemaakt in de overgang naar het Mioceen door klimatologische veranderingen naar koelere klimatologische omstandigheden. Richting het Midden-Mioceen ontwikkelden zich op deze locaties ook droge, semi-woestijnachtige steppen.

Een bepaald seksueel dimorfisme kan worden gevonden in de schedel van Diaceratherium, die slechts zelden voorkomt bij de huidige neushoorns. Mannelijke dieren hebben over het algemeen robuustere schedels met uitstekende jukbeenderen. Het neusbot is hier over het algemeen ook sterker en dikker, wat toeneemt met de leeftijd. Schedels van vrouwelijke dieren zijn slanker, het neusbot is langer en smaller en heeft geen ruwe oppervlakken. Koeien van Diceratherium hebben in het algemeen misschien geen hoorns gehad. Ondanks de vele vondsten zijn er tot nu toe nauwelijks pathologische veranderingen bekend. Slechts een van de meer dan 60 dijbeenderen die bekend zijn uit de Marsland-formatie vertoonden ziektegerelateerde krommingen die kunnen worden toegeschreven aan artrose en veroorzaakten een schachtbocht van ongeveer 30 °, waarbij de knie ook werd aangetast.

Classificatie
Het geslacht Diceratherium behoort tot de familie van neushoorns en is geplaatst in de subfamilie Diceratheriinae. Deze subfamilie, die erg oud is in termen van fylogenetische geschiedenis, is onderverdeeld in twee delen, waarbij Diceratherium behoort tot de Diceratheriini-stam, tegenover de Trigoniadini-stam en wordt gekenmerkt door twee paar hoorns. De voorloper van dit neushoorngeslacht was hoogstwaarschijnlijk Subhyracodon, waaruit het zich continu ontwikkelde. Een ander familielid is de Skinneroceras, die pas in 2005 werd beschreven. Vijf heden bekende soorten behorende tot Diceratherium:
 D. annectens (Othniel Charles Marsh, 1873)
 D. armatum Othniel Charles Marsh, 1875
 D. niobrarense O.A. Peterson, 1906
 D. radtkei Donald R. Prothero & Donald L. Rasmussen, 2008
 D. tridactylum (Henry Fairfield Osborn, 1893)
De eerste vondsten van Diceratherium werden oorspronkelijk in 1870 en 1873 door Othniel Charles Marsh naar het geslacht Rhinoceros verwezen en het was pas in 1875 dat dezelfde beschrijving door dezelfde auteur werd gebruikt op basis van vondsten in de buurt van de John Day River in Oregon. Het was de eerste neushoorn met verschillende hoornformaties die in Noord-Amerika werd beschreven. De wetenschappelijke naam bestaat uit de Griekse woorden δι (voorvoegsel di- "two-"), κέρας (kéras "horn") en θηρίον (thērion "animal") en verwijst naar de gepaarde neushoorns.

In het begin was er vaak verwarring met Aceratherium, een hoornloze neushoorn uit de groep Aceratheriinae, die grotendeels in het Mioceen leefde maar veel geavanceerder was. Henry Fairfield Osborn beschreef het hele skelet van de White River in South Dakota voor het eerst als Aceratherium tridactylum, waarbij de soort toevoeging tridactylum te wijten was aan het idee dat alle vroege Mioceen-neushoorns eigenlijk vierpuntige voorpoten hadden. Hij herzag later zijn mening. Er waren ook vaak verwarring met Menoceras, een dier uit de Rhinocerotinae-groep die ook gepaarde neushoorns heeft. Menoceras heeft echter veel modernere kenmerken, zoals een kortere schedel, een meer gereduceerd aantal tanden en meer gecompliceerd gevouwen email op de kauwvlakken van de kiezen. De structuur van het neusbot vertoont ook verschillen met Diceratherium met zijn nogal langwerpige hoornwortels met duidelijk afgeronde hoornwortels.

Diceratherium werd voor het eerst ontdekt in het vroege Oligoceen, ongeveer 33 miljoen jaar geleden (lokaal stratigrafisch toegewezen aan het vroege Whitneyum) en was afkomstig van Subhyracodon. De oudste was de kleine D. tridactylum. In het latere Oligoceen tot het Mioceen ontwikkelde de enorme D. radtkei zich, maar tot nu toe zijn slechts enkele vondsten bekend. Het geslacht van de neushoorn stierf ongeveer 14 miljoen jaar geleden uit in het Midden-Mioceen (lokaal stratigrafisch Boven-Arikareean tot Onder-Hemingfordium), de meest recente was D. niobrarense. Met het uitsterven van Diceratherium doofde ook de tak van Diceratheriini.

September 1st marks our one year diagnosis. I honestly can't believe how this year has flown by. This time last year I couldn't bear to watch the MDA Telethon although I was able to listen while I worked around the house a little. There were lots of tissues used and we eventually turned it off because the pain was too fresh.
My how a year can change you…I'm sure there will be an empty tissue box by day's end but we are not only looking forward to watching the MDA Telethon this year we are honored to also be participating. The MDA has done so much to help us through this first year and we hope you will all tune in to show our gratitude.
For those of who are local please tune in to WRIC Channel 8 at 7:40pm to see our family interviewed live. All you other Warriors; I hope you will enjoy the telethon on your local channel and we will be sure to post our segment later in the month.

Murderer and rapist in maximum security until July 2033
He abused the comfort of his low-security prison dorm to rape a female corrections officer – now this convicted murderer will be locked up for years.
by Sean Fewster
10th Sep 2020 6:32 PM
A convicted murderer who abused the privilege of a low-security prison dorm to rape a female corrections officer will now be kept in maximum security until July 2033.
On Thursday, the District Court extended James Hall's 22-year non-parole period by 5 ½ years for his repeated sexual assaults upon the woman.
Judge Gordon Barrett said Hall could be shown no leniency.
"You're not entitled to any sentencing discount by reason of insight or remorse," he said.
"It appears you have no insight into your offending, and you certainly have no remorse for it.
"It's likely you will serve much, if not all of the balance of your time in prison in a high-security setting."
Hall, 33, was convicted of two counts of rape that occurred when he was 12 years into his life sentence for murder.
He committed that crime in 2006 at the age of 19 - all other details of that crime have been suppressed by the court.
In his verdict, Judge Barrett found Hall took advantage of the privately-run prison's "culture of positivity" to attack the officer in his "low-to-medium security dorm".
Hall kept the officer in his dorm, against her will, for 20 minutes, ignoring her clear refusals of sex and instead talking about how long he had been in custody.
Judge Barrett rejected Hall's "unlikely, exaggerated" claims the officer initiated sex with him, and that he was permitted conjugal visits with his girlfriend in the prison's "naughty corner".
He said Hall's evidence was "unimpressive and untruthful", and that feelings of sexual frustration and deprivation had created "a sense of entitlement" within the killer.
In her victim impact statement last week, the officer told the court she has "almost lost everything" in the years since Hall attacked her.
She said she now lives a "constant nightmare" and having to relive the matter at trial had "almost broken" her.
In sentencing on Thursday, Judge Barrett said the woman suffered only minor physical injuries but her "mental anguish" was, and continued to be, "considerable".
"She is filled with self-blame for trusting you and putting herself in the position of being vulnerable to what you did to her," he said.
"Your sentence must take into account the fact your offences were committed against a woman who was doing no more than her job at the prison."
Hall's original non-parole period was set to expire in January 2028 - he will now be ineligible to seek release on parole until July 2023.
The court also heard arrangements would be made to ensure Hall was never again housed at any prison where the female officer was working.

Please call for copies of these to be emailed.
RACE use traditional and water based lacquers and fillers to provide a variety of finishes on customer components. RACE also has experience of inlaying into the lacquer logos and pinstripes to further enhance the finish of a product. The lacquering of wood is an exact process requiring the application of fillers to effectively solidify the wood from the inside out. Several layers of filler may be necessary to prevent sinkage of the surface as time passes by. A number of lustres are possible on the final coat from a high, polished finish to a matt, soft touch feel. RACE will happily advise customers of the correct process for their components.
RACE use free issue and purchased decorative laminates to trim and recover panels and stowages for a number of customers. The trimming can involve fitting to complex shapes requiring 3 dimensional working of the laminate. A number of adhesives and processes can be used to create fairly complex final solutions.
RACE have the capability to paint almost any paint type in their state of the art Paint booth. RACE have finished objects using a number of finishes and lustres from many of the Aircraft supplier's feeding our industry and have piloted many new products to market . RACE also appreciate that to deliver a correctly painted part in-depth discussions as to what is expected from the finish are to be undertaken to ensure success.

RACE believe that our customers wish to deal with only one supplier who will take responsibility for their entire refurbishment programmes.
Veneers bring an item of aircraft furniture to life having a 3 dimensional aspect that brings a surface to life. Veneers are very personal and really hallmark items as being unique. No two veneers are the same. It is not just the wood veneering that must be accurately and permanently bonded to various substrates that makes a fine veneer, it is the understanding of the veneer when interacting with edges and furniture items that makes real wood veneers special. RACE fitters are time served woodworkers who understand the needs of a veneered product. RACE like to offer customers consultancy on how to best fit their veneers. RACE can fit veneers to many substrates provided the relative correct balancing actions are taken at the production stage to ensure that the substrate is not stressed in any way during the application. RACE also offer a matching service through an extensive chain of veneer stockists.

Home Geely Geely Boyue PRO Is Almost Ready in China Market
Geely Boyue PRO Is Almost Ready in China Market
Geely released the official images of Geely Boyue PRO. The new car was upgraded on the basis of the current Geely Boyue based on the appearance, interconnection system and power, it can be considered as the facelift of Geely Boyue. It is expected that the new car will be officially released in the near future and will be listed during the year.
Geely Boyue PRO has made significant adjustments to the front face and rear end: the larger size of family style expanding cosmos grille, it is similar to Geely Borui GE, the new car also uses smaller headlight group (LED light source in high trim level model), which is separated from the front center grille. In addition, Geely Boyue PRO also redesigned the front bumper, it has larger size inlets on both sides, the color separation process also enhances the sense of movement.
As a facelift model, the side of the vehicle has no significant changes compared to the current model. The design elements of the waist line, side skirt, side window profile and floating roof are the same as the current models. In terms of size, the new car measures at 4544/1831/1713mm and wheelbase of 2670mm. The length and height are slightly larger than the current Geely Boyue, while the car width and wheelbase are unchanged.
In the rear part, the change of the new car mainly occurs in the taillight group and the lower bumper. The exterior style of taillights is still the same as the current model, but the internal lamp cavity has been modified, and the central Geely brand LOGO is also replaced by the "GEELY" letter. Under the lower bumper area, the new Boyue Pro has adjusted the position of the lamp group and the shape of the guard plate. The silver-black color matching enhances the contrast, and the exhaust port is still bilateral two-out chrome design.
In contrast, the interior design of Geely Boyue PRO is mainly concentrated in the center console, the overall design sense is greatly improved, the new touch screen size is larger, and the lower piano key air conditioning control area is added to facilitate the front driver and passenger operation. In addition, the upgrade of new steering wheel, the area around the shift lever, the panoramic sunroof, the LED interior ambience lights, the driving mode selector knob and the interior material make it look more textured.
In terms of power, Geely Boyue PRO will be powered by 1.8TD+7DCT and 1.5TD+6AT power combinations. Among them, the 1.8TD engine is a new generation of products, the maximum power is 135kW (184Ps), and the peak torque is increased by 15N·m to 300N·m compared with the previous generation, matching 7DCT gearbox.
The 1.5TD three-cylinder engine was jointly developed by Volvo and Geely Automobile with maximum power of 130kW (177Ps) and peak torque of 255N·m, matching Aisin's third-generation 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

WASHINGTON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Shanifinne Ball is unemployed and cares for her elderly uncle in a trendy, fast-changing part of the U.S. capital.
Although she expects eventually to take over her uncle's home, Ball is anxious she could be forced to move out of the area as rents continue to rise.
She is part of a lawsuit saying more than a decade of urban development planning aimed at turning Washington into a "world-class city" has been successful in attracting thousands of young, well-educated professionals to the detriment of minority communities, and particularly older people within those groups.
The lawsuit, filed last month, comes as the city grapples with some of the highest rents in the country and amid a national crisis in affordable housing.
Ball is particularly worried by a new 6,000-unit development going up just blocks from where she lives, part of a massive revitalization project that has transformed the Union Market neighborhood she lives in.
She is "angered that they have replaced her community with another one she largely does not know because the buildings are self-sustaining and residents stay in them," according to the lawsuit.
Ball also says the businesses that have come in to cater to the new population are different from those she uses — while some she used to rely on have closed.
In so doing, the city has overlooked the impacts of these policies on the poorer, often African American neighborhoods, even when courts have directed officials to take into account "adverse impacts" such as gentrification, according to the attorney bringing the lawsuit.
"I know a lot of cities have followed policies that directly seek to attract people of a certain age and people who make their livings a certain way," attorney Aristotle Theresa told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"But to the extent that you alter land-use policy in a way that influences access to housing and public facilities and amenities, then that may be discrimination" based on source of income and age, said Theresa, whose practice, Stoop Law, is located in one of the city's poorest communities.
He said the lawsuit is the result of three years of planning decisions during which he said he found a pattern of "questionable decisions".
In addition to Ball, the lawsuit names two other individuals and the members of an African-American community-development program, all of whom have testified about gentrification and related issues before city planning officials.
Their testimony was essentially ignored because of the broader economic development policy in place, Theresa says.
"None of the clients fit within the group of people that they wanted to attract to the city: None of them would qualify as 'creative class' members, and none of them are millennials," Theresa said.
Amid a general economic boom for the city of around 700,000 people, gentrification has exploded in Washington over the past decade, prompting some of the fastest-rising rents and worst rates of homelessness anywhere in the country.
Some 100,000 new residents have moved to Washington over the past decade and a half, and a roughly even number of jobs have been created, said Claire Zippel, an analyst with the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, a think tank.
But during that time, around half of the city's low-cost rental units also disappeared — a loss not equally spread throughout Washington.
"Some neighborhoods are essentially unrecognizable to those who live there, as centers of cultural and economic life in communities of color have basically been completely transformed as white younger urban professionals have moved in," Zippel said.
While city officials are increasingly recognizing the downsides of recent economic development strategies, Zippel said, the housing needs of poor people are not being given enough attention.
Entire neighborhoods have changed rapidly, irrevocably affecting longstanding social networks — something that Theresa's lawsuit says the city is legally required to consider.
The effects of these changes, experts said, has altered the racial composition of some neighborhoods drastically.
The neighborhood of Columbia Heights, for instance, saw its white population increase by 330 percent between 2000 and 2010, said urban planning scholar Kathryn Howell, an assistant professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
"Certainly that's in part because the white population had been so low, but the reality is a huge shift visually: not only of the built environment being blown apart but also in terms of who's there," said Howell.
Her work has shown a resulting shift in power and norms of behavior in such situations, too, as a new population is suddenly living in dense urban areas.
"There are lot of kinds of displacement, including social and cultural, which means the things that you think are safe and normal are perceived by new and white residents as unsafe," she said.
Howell welcomed the lawsuit as a critique of a type of urban planning that has taken hold in many developed countries, one she said is characterized by "desperation" for development and a lack of clarity on who exactly the planning is for.

More Americans blame Trump for government shutdown: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Chris Kahn, Ginger Gibson
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More Americans blame President Donald Trump than congressional Democrats for the partial U.S. government shutdown, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday, as the closure stretched into its sixth day with no end in sight.
Forty-seven percent of adults hold Trump responsible, while 33 percent blame Democrats in Congress, according to the Dec. 21-25 poll, conducted mostly after the shutdown began. Seven percent of Americans blamed congressional Republicans.
The shutdown was triggered by Trump's demand, largely opposed by Democrats and some lawmakers from his own Republican Party, that taxpayers provide him with $5 billion to help pay for a wall that he wants to build along the U.S.-Mexico border. Its total estimated cost is $23 billion.
Just 35 percent of those surveyed in the opinion poll said they backed including money for the wall in a congressional spending bill. Only 25 percent said they supported Trump shutting down the government over the matter.
In a statement on Thursday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said, "The president has made clear that any bill to fund the government must adequately fund border security."
The statement made no mention of Trump's proposed wall.
Showing little sense of urgency, both chambers of Congress convened for mere minutes late on Thursday, but neither took any action to end the shutdown before adjourning until next week.
Democrats and Republicans were still very far apart on resolving the impasse, said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer's spokesman Justin Goodman in a statement.
Democratic Representative Jim McGovern tried to interrupt the brief Republican-run session in the House of Representatives by offering a measure to reopen shuttered government agencies and keep them running through Feb. 8. But he was ignored and his microphone was soon cut off. The House session lasted less than three minutes.
"That was a legitimate request and I should have been recognized," McGovern told reporters later. "They wouldn't even recognize me. This is the way they've been running this place."

SHUTDOWN CONTINUES
Inaction in Congress put the shutdown on track to continue into next week and possibly to drag well into January.
While its impact has been limited so far, partly due to holiday-season vacations underway for the 800,000 or so federal workers affected, that could change soon.
Government agencies began notifying the public on Thursday about service disruptions. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said the shutdown means it cannot process new flood insurance policies, possibly disrupting home sales.
The Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal workforce, offered advice to government employees on staving off creditors if paychecks lapse.
The wall dispute coincided with the expiration of funding for about 20 percent of the government. The remaining 80 percent is fully funded and is unaffected by the shutdown.
The departments of Homeland Security, Justice, Agriculture, Commerce, and other agencies, shut down "non-essential" operations on Saturday after a tentative funding deal collapsed over Trump's renewed insistence that wall funding be provided.
The House has approved a shutdown-ending spending measure that includes Trump's demand for $5 billion, but its prospects in the Senate are seen as poor.
The next firm action on the issue is likely to come on Jan. 3, when the Democrats take over majority control of the House. At that time, McGovern said, Democrats expect to offer a spending measure "plus probably disaster relief funding."
Speaking to reporters after the brief Senate session, Senator Pat Roberts said, "We on the Republican side do not want to vote for a bill the president won't sign."
'PROUD TO SHUT DOWN'
Trump argues that his wall is needed to stem illegal immigration and drugs entering the country - a key plank in his 2016 presidential campaign.

Earlier this month, he said he would be "proud to shut down the government" over wall funding. On Twitter, since the shutdown started, he has tried to blame the Democrats.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English across the United States. It gathered responses from 2,440 adults, including 946 Democrats and 846 Republicans. It has a credibility interval, a measure of the poll's precision, of two percentage points for the entire sample and four points for members of either political party.

Volcanic risk in the explosive Campi Flegrei (CF) caldera is extremely high, because of its location in a densely populated area about 15 km west of Naples inside the Campanian Plain. CF is renowned as a site of continual slow vertical movements. Since the last eruption in 1538, the caldera generally subsided until 1969 then uplift began in the early 1970s (about 1.5 m max), a further large uplift episode occurred from 1982 to 1984 (about 1.8 m max), and a few smaller uplift episodes occurred in 1989, 1994, 2000, and 2006. From 2006, CF is mostly uplifting.
Ground deformation monitoring of CF started in 1905, when the Istituto Geografico Militare established a first leveling line from Naples to Serapeum; since then the leveling line has been much extended and now the leveling network consists of 350 altimetric benchmarks. Geodetic precise-traversing surveys-distance (EDM) and angular measurements were carried out from time to time, starting from June 1970. A Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS) network began operating at the end of the 1990s. Ground displacement data from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry are available since 1992.
Such an abundance of data has allowed detailed studies of the ground deformation time history. In particular, we have recently found that CF ground deformation, within data uncertainties, is always given by the sum of two "stationary contributions" at least since 1980. Large-scale deformation can be explained by a quasi-horizontal source, oriented NW/SE and mathematically represented by a pressurized finite thin triaxial ellipsoid (PTE) embedded in a layered medium at about 4 km; residual deformation not accounted for by PTE can be mathematically explained by a small (point) pressurized oblate spheroid about 2 km below the Solfatara fumarolic field. The location and geometry of the two sources are constant with the exception of volume changes (potency); potency time histories are somewhat similar but not identical.
A long-standing controversy characterizes the interpretation of CF inflation and deflation phases, which are generally ascribed to fluid injections at the basis of the hydrothermal system or to shallow magma injections. As a matter of fact, all published models of both processes predict complex spatial and/or temporal patterns of CF ground deformation.
We will give a review of our knowledge about CF ground deformation and present a new model of magma intrusion, which is consistent with the observed constancy of the ground deformation pattern.
