Switch Surpasses PS4 Lifetime Sales In US, Elden Ring Tops COD: Vanguard In Less Than 3 Months
April 2022 will go down as a historic month for Nintendo's Switch console because it's the month the hybrid console surpassed the lifetime sales of the PlayStation 4 in the U.S.
This news comes by way of The NPD Group's Mat Piscatella, who reports monthly U.S. sales numbers of video game hardware, software, accessories, and more. This month's news includes an overall decline in consumer video game spending, down 8%, to $4.3 billion, compared to April of last year. Year-to-date 2022 spending is also 8% lower than the same period one year ago, down to $18.3 billion. However, it was still a great month for video game hardware – especially the Switch.
"Lifetime unit sales of Nintendo Switch have now surpassed those of PlayStation 4, making it the 4th highest unit selling console in U.S. history, and the 6th highest unit selling video game hardware platform overall. In console it trails only PS2, Xbox 360, and Wii."
US NPD HW – Lifetime unit sales of Nintendo Switch have now surpassed those of PlayStation 4, making it the 4th highest unit selling console in U.S. history, and the 6th highest unit selling video game hardware platform overall. In console it trails only PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii.

As you can see in Piscatella's tweet above, the Switch broke a new record last month, and considering it's still going to be Nintendo's console for the foreseeable future (although we wouldn't mind a Switch 2 or Switch Pro right about now), there's a chance it could continue to climb up the list of best-selling consoles. The Switch also had the highest unit sales of any hardware platform both for April 2022 and all of 2022, year-to-date. The Xbox Series X/S consoles ranked second for the same time periods.
Overall, video game hardware sales increased 16% compared to compared to last year, up to $343 million. Piscatella attributes a greater supply of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles on the market compared to April of 2021. Year-to-date spending on hardware is down 9%, though, falling to $1.5 billion overall.
For Sony, the company's PlayStation 5 led April 2022 in hardware dollar sales (mind you, not unit sales), followed closely by the Xbox Series X/S and Switch, Piscatella writes. Xbox Series X/S has generated the most hardware dollar sales of all three platforms year-to-date, though, followed by PS5, and then Switch. If you're wondering how, especially with the Switch selling more units than both, it's because the Switch has a cheaper price tag.
In terms of software, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga led the pack in April 2022, debuting as the second best-selling game of 2022 overall. It was the number one game on Nintendo, PlayStation, and Steam platforms, too. On top of that, The Skywalker Saga had the highest launch-month dollar sales of any Lego game in the franchise's history and already, after just one month on the market, is the sixth best-selling Lego game life-to-date. The Skywalker Saga is also the first third-party game to come in first place on the Switch since March 2021, which saw Monster Hunter Rise take the top spot.
To probably nobody's surprise, From Software's Elden Ring was the second best-selling title of the month, two months after its release. It remains the best-selling game of the year so far and has now surpassed Call of Duty: Vanguard to become the best-selling "premium game of the trailing 12-month period ending April 2022," Piscatella writes on Twitter.
Here are the top 10 best-selling video games of April 2022:
Kirby and The Forgotten Land
Nintendo Switch Sports
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
And here are the top 10 best-selling games of 2022 year-to-date:
For even more information, be sure to check out Piscatella's entire NPD thread, which includes top 10 breakdowns for each console platform, video game accessory spending, and much more. Catch up on March's NPD numbers to read about how the Xbox Series X/S was the best-selling console in dollar sales in the U.S. after that.

All The Best New R&B From This Week That You Need To Hear
Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they really love in its true form, we'll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.
For this week's round-up, Kehlani makes her return with "Altar," the lead single from her upcoming album Blue Water Road. The project seemingly continues the story told on her second album, It Was Good Until It Wasn't. Elsewhere, Sevyn Streeter finally returns with her second album, Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz, and HER calls on Lil Durk for a remix of "Find A Way," a highlight track from her debut Back Of My Mind.
Kehlani — "Altar"
A little over a year after sharing her excellent sophomore album, It Was Good Until It Wasn't, Kehlani is already back with plans for her upcoming third album. The singer announced that the project, titled Blue Water Road, would arrive this winter, and along with the news, she shared its lead single "Altar." "To all those i have lost, all the angels i have gained, all those that walk with me with hands cracking my chest open, this is for you," Kehlani said about the song. "I love you."
Sevyn Streeter — Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz
Nearly four years after she released her debut album, Girl Disrupted, Sevyn Streeter is back in action with her sophomore release, Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz. It arrives complete with features from Lucky Daye, Jeremih, BIA, ASAP Ferg, Lavish, and more. Altogether, it's a strong album from the singer and it's great to see her back in action.
HER — "Find A Way (Remix)" Feat. Lil Baby & Lil Durk
After releasing her debut album, Back Of My Mind earlier this summer, HER is back with a refreshing take of the project. The singer updates its standout track, "Find A Way," with a new verse from Lil Durk. Now, Durk and Lil Baby, who originally appeared on the song, can shine together to the enjoyment of listers.
Kyle Dion — Sassy
Two years after releasing his debut album Suga, Kyle Dion returns with his latest body of work, his sophomore album Sassy. Building on his debut, Sassy expresses the singer's fun side as he explains in an interview with Uproxx. He describes the project as offering an "exaggerated version of myself," and through its 17 songs, Dion has the time of his life with help from Channel Tres, Duckwrth, Ja Rule, and Kari Faux.
Tems — If Orange Was A Place
The last year has been a memorable time for Tems. Last September, her popularity spiked after the release of her debut project, For Broken Ears. A month later, she teamed with Wizkid for this year's summer smash, "Essence." Fresh off a collaboration with Drake, the afro-fusion singer is back in action with her second project, If Orange Was A Place. It touches down with five tracks and a lone feature from Brent Faiyaz.
Tank — Force Of Nature, One Man, and Sex, Love & Pain
After uploading Aaliyah's second and third albums to streaming services more than two decades after they were released, Blackground Records has shifted its attention to some of its other artists. This past week, they added Tank's first three albums, Force Of Nature, One Man, and Sex, Love & Pain, to streaming services, allowing old fans to revisit the impressive bodies of work and new fans to see what they missed out on.
Vedo — 1320
Last year, Michigan-born singer Vedo took one step closer to his spotlight moment thanks to the success of his breakout single, "You Got It." The track came nearly a decade after he was taken under the wing of Usher during the fourth season of The Voice. Fast forward to the present and the singer is back in action with his fifth album, 1320. The 14-track project is packed with sultry and passionate tracks with help from Ari Lennox, Eric Bellinger, Jacquees, Lloyd, and Erica Banks
VanJess — Homegrown (Deluxe)
After going a few years without new music, VanJess kicked off 2021 with their Homegrown EP. Now, the Keep Cool-signed duo extends the project with five songs, including the previously-released remix of "Slow Down" with Lucky Daye. The remaining four new tracks are all solo efforts that help turn the EP into a album-style project.
TYuS — "Don't Cry, Wipe Your Ears"
Tyus can certainly insert himself on the list of R&B's more slept on acts from the last few years. The singer's latest release serves as an example for that. "Don't Cry, Wipe Your Eyes" is a slow-burning apologetic track that captures Tyus' sorrows towards an ex-lover that he hurt one too many times. Despite his apologies, his old flame closes the door on their relationship, leaving Tyus to regret his decisions alone.
Reggie Becton — "Rm. 143"
PG County's Reggie Becton is just weeks away from releasing his latest album, California. The singer has already delivered a pair of singles for the project, and he extends it to three with "Rm. 143." The emotive track uncovers Becton's lingering feelings for that special someone in his life as he shares his exact location for them to hopefully find their way to him.
Kitty Cash — "Just Fine" Feat. Kiana Lede
Finding her home on LVRN, Kitty Cash plans to carve out her own lane as a producer. Her first in doing this comes with her debut single, "Just Fine." The track comes with a guest appearance from Kiana Lede as Cash creates a summery warm-hearted beat for Lede to flaunt her vocals, and even show off her bilingual skills, while reassuring a skeptical partner.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Q: Get ArrayList value and set it to a TextView on Button Click Not Working - RecyclerView My last question hopefully for this week.. I have set up a RecyclerView with an Array that iterates through numbers 0 - 350 in increments of 10. This pops up as an overlay over the activity by clicking a TextView (dailyGoal). Once a value has been selected, the chosen value should be set to the TextView.
This is all working fine, the value does set, however it sets the value as the first value, which is 10 mins. I think this is because the onItemClicked is pointing to the RecyclerView as a whole and not the Recycler TextView (time), there is a method included for it, however whenever I try to use it, the onClick function does nothing..
I think this one is a simple solution but I've been messing around with it for a while and can't find a working solution..
Activity
ArrayList<String> dailyGoalTime;
int[] timeArray = new int[360];

    dailyGoal.setText("60");
    dailyGoalRecycler.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    dailyGoalTime = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < timeArray.length; i++) {
        timeArray[i] = i;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < timeArray.length; i++) {
        if (i % 10 == 0 && i != 0) {
            dailyGoalTime.add(i + " mins");
        }
    }

    ItemClickSupport.addTo(dailyGoalRecycler).setOnItemClickListener(
            new ItemClickSupport.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v) {
                    dailyGoal.setText(timeArray[i]);
                    dailyGoalRecycler.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }

                @Override
                public void onItemClicked(TextView time, int position, View view) {
                    // this does nothing

                    // dailyGoal.setText(dailyGoalTime.get(timeArray[i]));
                    // dailyGoalRecycler.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    }
                }
        );

Interface
public interface OnItemClickListener {

    void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v);

    void onItemClicked(TextView time, int position, View view);
}

Adapter
ArrayList<String> dailyGoalTime;
ItemClickSupport.OnItemClickListener listener;

public DailyGoalAdapter(ArrayList<String> dailyGoalTime) {
    this.dailyGoalTime = dailyGoalTime;
}

@NonNull
@Override
public DailyGoalAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row, parent, false);
    return new ViewHolder(view);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull DailyGoalAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    holder.time.setText(dailyGoalTime.get(position));
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return dailyGoalTime.size();
}

public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    public TextView time;
    public ViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        time = itemView.findViewById(tvTime);
    }

}

A: You forgot the most important part. You need to call the interface method on item click like this:
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v){
        listener.onItemClicked(holder.time, position, holder.itemView);
    }
)};

8 Thoughts on Election 2016 in the "World's Greatest Democracy"(tm)
November 10, 2016 · Derek
Don't just mourn, organize! We need solidarity and hope, not despair. Here's why:
1. Clinton won the popular vote
Once again, the winner of the popular vote will not be the next president, because the electoral college, a concession to give more power to slave-owning states at the time the constitution was drafted, is still how the USA chooses its highest office.
2. Only about 1/4 of eligible voters voted for Trump
There were approximately 230 million eligible voters in this election. Trump only got 59.7 million votes. So we're really talking about just over 1/4 of eligible voters actually voted for Trump. The USA isn't a vast wasteland of hopelessly right-wing hate-filled monsters. The votes were incredibly close in many "swing" states. The whole "red state" vs. "blue state" narrative is totally flawed.
3. Voter disenfranchisement is real and on-going
Voter turnout in the "most important election in our lifetime" was down from the last 2. All sorts of new voting restrictions were in place for the first time this election. 2 million people can't vote because they were once convicted of a felony. It's entirely plausible that the net effect of various disenfranchisement schemes enacted by state and local governments was to narrowly tip the balance for Trump in the small handful of states that actually determined the outcome.
4. Not everyone who voted for Trump is a racist/misogynist pig
Although many of that minority of citizens that actually voted for Trump resonate with his hate-filled, misogynistic, xenophobic rhetoric, not all of them support him on that basis. Many have been seeing their living standards decline for 8+ years of a Democrat in the White House, most of that time supposedly during an economic "recovery." They couldn't stand to vote for 4 more years of the same miserable status quo. They bought the argument (even though it's a lie) that Trump stands for something different and is an outsider that wants to try to improve their lives in some way. When stuck between two "choices" that are both obviously lying about a huge number of things, I can see why some people decided to reject the status quo, even if their main way to express that was to vote for this disgusting man. Approximately half of Trump's votes were from women and people of color. Certainly some of the 53% of eligible white women voters that picked Trump harbor racist and xenophobic ideas, and some of the men of color that voted for him might hold sexist ideas, but these are folks with contradictory and mixed consciousness, not the KKK-loving sexist white men that we're led to believe were the only people voting for the GOP ticket.
5. The USA makes voting hard and inconsistent
Why are all the laws and procedures related to voting decided case-by-case in different states? Why aren't there federal laws determining eligibility to vote, ensuring a consistent process, accountability, etc? Why is voting day in the middle of the work week instead of being a national holiday? Why is it so hard for people to vote if it's supposedly our "most sacred right" and the cornerstone of our "democracy"? Why did so many people (like me) show up to vote at the location printed on our election materials only to find a sign saying our voting place was closed and the new location was elsewhere? Why did my official voter registration "Don't forget to vote!" postcard arrive in the mail on the Thursday after the election?
6. The Democratic Party will not champion basic democratic rights
Hillary Clinton will not go to bat for all the people who were disenfranchised in this election. Al Gore didn't do it when Bush stole the presidency, and HRC isn't going to now. I haven't seen any noise about this from Bernie Sanders, either. They're all too busy reminding us: "Now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election, but the day after we have to remember that we're actually all on one team. This is an intramural scrimmage." That's a direct quote from Obama printed in a Washington Post article this morning. The champions of the so-called "Democratic" party aren't going to raise the point that this racist pig who bragged about sexually assaulting women won (in part) because so many people faced insurmountable obstacles to voting. The Democrats are not going to spend any time, energy or political capital trying to change the sick electoral system we have. They'd rather have folks like Bush and Trump being president than address the fundamental rot at all levels of our government. Are the "Democrats" ever going to mount a serious campaign to undo the Electoral College? Are they going to restore voting rights for felons? Are they going to remove restrictions like voter ID laws and other barriers to letting people vote? Don't hold your breath.
7. The Democrats will draw all the wrong lessons from this defeat
The Democratic Party is going to draw all the wrong lessons from this election (just as they have for the past few). They're going to think they didn't do enough to appeal to "swing voters", "moderates", etc. The real problem is they didn't give anyone anything to vote for. Obama at least made some hollow promises he had little or no intention of keeping. HRC didn't even bother to make hollow promises. Her early campaign was focused on lowering the expectations of Sanders supporters, preaching to those who wanted something else from their elected leaders that they had to be "realistic". Her later campaign was almost exclusively "at least I'm not Trump!". Sorry, Clinton, that's not enough to get people to show up and vote for you. Many people simply aren't excited about voting for more pro-war, neoliberal candidates that are obviously and thoroughly in the pocket of Wall St and giant corporate interests. This was HRC's election to lose, and somehow, she managed to lose it.
8. Stand and resist!
We can't flee the country. The actions of the US government are felt around the world. There's no place to go where this monstrous government won't affect you. Furthermore, we can't abandon the people who can't just leave to try to fight on their own. The people who are repulsed by Trump are actually the majority. We just don't have a way to express that. Many of us are afraid, depressed, hopeless. It's right to be sad, angry, disgusted, even scared. But don't just mourn, organize! We need solidarity and hope, not despair. We can't wait 4, or even 2 years, to start resisting the new administration. Trying to "reclaim congress" in 2018 and "take back the White House" in 2020 are both going to be failed strategies for resisting what President Trump wants to accomplish. First of all, we simply can't wait that long to try to stop what's coming. Moreover, the way to stop it isn't going to be trying to get our "friends in the Democratic Party" elected. They've proven time and again they're more interested in bi-partisanship and a shared commitment to Wall St. and the Pentagon than they are interested in actually challenging the GOP and their agenda. We need to come together in our communities, schools, workplaces, and in our streets, to resist what has already started and what else is on the way. We have to get together, figure out where we have the most social power, and wield it consciously for the benefit of all. The whole "2 party" system is set up to limit the debate in this country and to lower our sights and expectations. This isn't going to be an easy period in this country (or the world). But putting our hopes in an utterly bankrupt and failed "2 party" system is only going to keep holding us back. We need to think outside the prison of the Democratic Party. No, President Obama — this isn't an intramural scrimmage. This is a life-or-death struggle. And if y'all are all really on 1 team (which is what I've been saying for over 20 years), then our side (the vast majority of the world's population) needs another, entirely different, team.

If starting a new company is a risky venture, then keeping it afloat once it has been launched is even riskier. So why should larger companies - which are generally seen as more secure - be granted the additional safety net of guaranteed payment collection by Direct Debit, when that same vital cash-flow protection isn't offered to smaller companies?
If your business has a turnover of less than three million a year and you want to collect customer payments by Direct Debit, the chances are your bank will turn you down because you are seen as too great a risk for the bank to 'sponsor' your application to collect payments by Direct Debit.
With the New Year a little more than half way through, one local company is already celebrating the fact that 2017 is likely to be the most successful in its decade and a half history.
Eazipay Ltd, based in Ely, Cambridgeshire, has been at the forefront of collecting and processing automated payments like Direct Debit for over 15 years. While the company has seen year-on-year growth over that period, 2017 is shaping up to be a bumper year as the company announces the appointment of five new members of staff to help it meet the demand for its automated payment processing services.
Eazipay Ltd, one of the UK's leading automated payment processing companies, is celebrating an unprecedented start to 2017 with record breaking business performance levels.
A staggering £173.1 million worth of Direct Debits have been processed on behalf of its clients during the first four months of 2017, signalling the company's best ever opening period in its 15 year history.
The results of a comprehensive public consultation into Direct Debit will be a key theme at the Emerging Payments Association's (EPA) Pay 360 Digital Payments Annual Conference today (24 May), following its publication by lead sponsor Bacs Payment Schemes Limited (Bacs).
The consultation on Direct Debit – which is used to pay 73 per cent of household bills – was carried out in late 2016 and included a call for public responses, market research, as well as in-depth interviews with stakeholders.
Luisa Grey, a director at Eazipay Ltd, one of the UK's largest Direct Debit processing companies, knows a thing or two about managing cash flow. Here she highlights what the most recent reports tell us about managing cash flow and how you can avoid the traps.
A raft of new reports on SMEs and cash flow last month has underlined the unnecessary time and money being spent on managing company cash flow.

Friday Afternoon Roundup - Obama, Ireland and Olmert
Well this week has been heavy on Obama blogging. I realize this is of less interest to readers from Europe and Israel, so aside from a Sunday post or unless any shocking exposes turn up, I think that will be it for a while.
In Europe the fate of the EU is hanging in the balance and so is that of Eurabia. It's an odd twist of fate that has the Irish shouldering the burden to preserve civilization once more. The Telegraph has a good article tying together the troubles in the American economy and the fate of free trade in Europe. If you tend to believe that Soros may have had a hand in creating that weakness, then the picture begins to grow really dark.
We are witnessing Europe's Prague Spring - as my colleague Daniel Hannan puts it - the moment the EU loses its legitimacy. Yes, the system endures. The tribes acquiesce. But the idealism is draining away.
Can anyone really claim that the Lisbon Treaty is rooted in the democratic assent of the French, Dutch, British, Danes, Swedes, Finns, Poles, and Czechs?
We have the spectacle of Gordon Brown refusing to sign the treaty in public because of the potent danger it poses to his Government.
A British prime minister slinks away to a private room to commit Britain to an arrangement that alienates the powers of Parliament - in perpetuity and perhaps illegally - knowing that his people would vote 'no' by crushing margins if given a chance.
How on earth did we arrive at such a sorry state of affairs?
Over in Israel many of the same power brokers are nudging Olmert out and nudging Livni in, to insure that Israel would have the weakest leader possible even as Iran rushes to develop and deploy nuclear weapons while their golden boy, Obama, is being aimed at the Presidency. The pieces are lined up in place and the game continues.
In the Jerusalem Post Caroline Glick has a column on Morris Talansky, a crook that all too many have embraced, because he promises to get rid of another crook. The matter may not be so simple though considering that Talansky is only two degrees of separation from Iran via Chavez.
Talansky cuts a slightly less flattering figure, shows a slightly less idealistic side of his personality, in a New York courtroom. It was to the US District Court in Manhattan that Talansky and fellow high rollers turned when they decided to sue Israel Aerospace Industries for its refusal to sell satellite images from Israeli spy satellites to Hugo Chavez's government in Venezuela.
Talansky and his fellow businessmen own a minority share in the Israeli firm ImageSat. IAI is the majority shareholder. ImageSat sells satellite images from Israeli spy satellites to foreign governments. And Talansky - who cares so much about Israel that he stuffed Olmert's pockets with cash for 15 years - and his associates think it is unfair for IAI to refuse to sell those images to Venezuela. The fact that Chavez is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Latin American amigo, they claim, shouldn't affect their ability to make a buck.
But of course, Talansky never wanted anything but the best for Israel - that is for Olmert. And he never expected to receive anything in return for his concern from Israel - that is from Olmert.
Last week Ma'ariv reported that Olmert had contacted an Israeli diplomat in Venezuela and asked him to expedite a proposed $18 million deal between Chavez's government and ImageSat but the Defense Ministry nixed the deal for some inscrutable reason. Olmert, of course, had only the purest of motives.
And what follows is a useful warning about the real impact of campaign finance laws on the political system. An impact that we're beginning to see in America with Obama and Soros.
FROM A legal perspective, Israel's electoral system was made for men like Olmert. Over the years, the Knesset has passed draconian laws that limit to nearly nothing the legal contributions that donors can make to political campaigns. At the same time, the Knesset has left in place enormous loopholes that permit politicians to raise almost unlimited funds in unofficial contributions, or "soft money."
As it stands, then, the system favors those who are constitutionally disposed to operate at the edge of the law - that is, people such as Olmert.
Since Israel's campaign finance laws were written for angels, and since politicians are mere mortals, most elected officials are vulnerable to scrutiny of their finances. This places the state prosecutors and judges in a position of enormous power over politicians. They know that they can fully expect to find something on everyone if they just look hard enough. And since an indictment suffices to force an elected official from office, the state prosecution has the power to fire elected officials at will.
This wouldn't be too bad if the state prosecution and the judiciary weren't so politicized. But they are. Since justices and prosecutors make no secret of their radical leftist ideological platform, legally challenged politicians like Olmert and former prime minister Ariel Sharon understand that the best way to avoid legal scrutiny is to advance the political agenda of the legal fraternity.
Now imagine Obama given eight years to put his own legal infrastructure into place across the board and the real nightmare will truly begin.
Meanwhile back on the Obama front, No Quarter has been really hammering Obama with the release of yet another Pfleger video and an article describing Obama's close personal spiritual advisor and friend Pfleger as a vicious anti-semite.
Let's remind everyone that Pfleger backed up Farrakhan in a 2006 controversy over some remarkable Farrakhan bile. Pfleger criticized a mass resignation of Jewish members on a state of Illinois hate crimes commission: NBC 5, Chicago
Pfleger said "good riddance" to the people who had left the commission. "Leave, go ahead and go on out, we don't need that kind of a spirit or mentality and a narrowness on that kind of commission. I'm glad they're gone," Pfleger said.
What was the issue? A member of the commission, Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad, was the Nation of Islam's minister of protocol.
[She] "was under the radar until she invited other commissioners to attend a Farrakhan speech last month. Criticism of Muhammad mounted after the speech, which included references to "Hollywood Jews" promoting homosexuality and "other filth."
The three Jewish commission members who resigned wanted Muhammad to repudiate Farrakhan's criticism of Jews, gays and other groups. The Jewish Community Relations Council, representing 46 Chicago-area groups, passed a resolution supporting the three commission members.
Here's the quote from Farrakhan that Pfleger implicitly supported.
Farrakhan said, "These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It's the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality," and "Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government" over the war in Iraq.
But of course that's only the start of it because fellow Obama faith endorsee and close friend, the Rev Willie Barrow and James Meeks, also both supported the Farrakhan line on this.
It becomes obvious then that Obama is surrounded by not only racists and bigoted preachers, but Farrakhan supporters, making his claims that he has nothing to do with Farrakhan that much weaker. He certainly seems to have no trouble spending two decades in a church that all but venerates Farrakhan.
Lemon Lime Moon has her own take on the Obama campaign, writing,
Rev. Wright influence much? No, frankly I don't think Rev Wright is the problem here. I think the Rev Wright is just the mirror showing us the mind of Barry and Michelle. I do not think Obama learned this at Rev Wright's knee, I think that the church was chosen by Obama as his spirtual home because it reflected his own thoughts and feelings.
At the Keli Ata blog, A Calculated Lie, Obama Trifles with the Holocaust
The prisoners of Auschwitz were liberated not only from the camp but from a certain death (murder.) It all plays into Obama's Messiah complex. He (by way of a great uncle) liberated people from death. It is disturbing that he would abuse the Holocaust in this matter to fuel his enormous ego.
But Obama obviously has no problem trifling with the gravity and magnitude of the Holocaust. So why are some Jews and non-Jews not only supporting him but making excuses for him? Obama is putting his hands up in a defensive stance saying don't touch me, my father liberated Jews from a concentration camp. He's a war hero. He was at Auschwitz. Don't touch me! He wants the same gentleness and compassion one would give a war veteran or Holocaust survivor (or relative of a survivor).
He's saying in one breath--don't touch me my uncle liberated a death camp, while in another breath he's saying love me because my uncle liberated a death camp. If at all true, it was his UNCLE not him. Talk about crying uncle.

TY for posting the link to my post, Sultan :)
I'm glad someone understood what I was saying. I seem to have made a little enemy on J Blog over this post lol. Someone rated it a zero and has rated my other posts no higher than 2.
These spiritual guides for Obama explain the sorry shape of his soul, don't they?

Q: Variable heights for in presented UIView 0
I have a segmented controller that call two UIViews xibs onto the screen. Each view will vary in length due to their content. As the content for each view is different. The UIView are set in a scroll view.
I am pulling the Selected UIView in front of the others when it is selected using the segmented controller. The problem is that the longer views are still visible when I scroll down. I can't figure out how to only let the scroll go down to the bottom of the UIView that has been pulled to the front.
I was playing around with simpleViewX.isHidden or simpleViewY.isHidden in the tabselected function but that doesn't really solve the situation because I can still scroll down into empty space.
class foodinfo: UIViewController {

var counter = Int()

@IBOutlet var tabs: UISegmentedControl!
@IBOutlet var shiftView: UIView!
@IBOutlet var theTitleLable: UILabel!

var simpleViewX: UIView!
var simpleViewY: UIView!

var theTitleArray = ["Title1","Title2","Title3","Title4","Title5","Title6","Title7"]

override func viewDidLoad() {

//Different subViews for each selection
if counter == 0 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC0().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC1().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}

if counter == 1 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC2().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC3().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}

if counter == 2 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC4().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC5().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}

if counter == 3 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC6().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC7().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}

if counter == 4 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC8().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC9().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}

if counter == 5 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC10().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC11().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}

if counter == 6 {
    simpleViewX = SimpleVC12().view
    simpleViewY = SimpleVC13().view
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewY)
    shiftView.addSubview(simpleViewX)
}
}

func getTitle() {
theTitleLable.text = theTitleArray[counter]
 }

@IBAction func tabselected(_ sender: Any) {
switch (sender as AnyObject).selectedSegmentIndex {
case 0:
    shiftView.bringSubviewToFront(simpleViewX)
    break
case 1:
    shiftView.bringSubviewToFront(simpleViewY)
    break
   default:
    break
}
}
}

A: You can try
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {

    let selectedView = firstView.isHidden ? secondView : firstView

    if scrollView.contentOffset.y > selectedView.frame.height {

        scrollView.setContentOffset(selectedView.frame.height, animated: false)
    }

}

You can also add some padding if you want to

A pair of strange star-crossed lovers
By Lydia Netzer
Review by Arlene McKanic
Let's not mince words: George and Irene are weirdos. George is a teacher of astronomy who has visions of ancient gods and goddesses. Irene is an astrophysicist who discovers tiny, purple black holes and doesn't believe in love or anything else that can't be measured with very precise instruments. George, on the other hand, longs for love like a consumptive Victorian heroine. They're both from Toledo and, according to the powers that be, are supposed to end up together. The question Lydia Netzer's second novel asks is 'How?'
One way it's possible is that Irene isn't as cold-blooded as she wants to be. The second way it's possible is that a twist of fate finds the two of them at the Toledo Institute of Astronomy at the same time. The Institute has heard about Irene's mini-black holes and has hired her. George, meanwhile, is kicked out of his office to accommodate Irene and is in a position to resent her. But when he first lays eyes on Irene, he falls for her, hard. How could he not? It beats getting any more serious with his current date, a woman who spent her formative years speaking bird language with her father.
This might be a good time to mention that George and Irene aren't the only weirdos in this book. Indeed, the reason they get together in the first place is because of a series of weird events that happened before they were born. It could be said that the culmination of the weirdness was them being born at the same time and in the same place. And none of it was an accident.
Though Netzer's parade of human oddities can be a bit distracting, the book earns its redemptive turn at the end; there just had to be a logical reason why George had visions of deities crawling around the ceiling and falling off of balconies.
Quirky, well written and insightful, How to Tell Toledo from the Night Sky reminds us of the surprises to be found in even the most predetermined circumstances.

Shooting fuels debate over safety of Prozac for teens
by Marisa Helms, Minnesota Public Radio
Jeff Weise, the assailant in the Red Lake shootings, was reportedly taking Prozac, a popular antidepressant. Some research seems to indicates a link between the medication and suicide attempts and violence. (Photo by Stephen Chernin/Getty Images)
Family members of Jeff Weise say they have questions about the medication he was taking up until the day of the shootings in Red Lake. Authorities say Weise shot and killed nine people before turning the gun on himself. Weise was taking the antidepressant Prozac. The shootings are likely to renew the controversy over the use of antidepressants in children and adolescents.
St. Paul, Minn. — Jeff Weise's aunts, Shauna and Tammy Lussier, say they had no idea he would carry out the grisly shootings in Red Lake. He had been living with them for the past seven or eight years.
The two aunts spoke recently to Fred de Sam Lazaro of PBS's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and Twin Cities Public Television.
They told him they took Jeff to get help for problems he was having with police and at school. They say his treatment included the antidepressant Prozac.
"Actually, they had just recently upped his dosage. He was taking two pills a night, they upped it to three. We think that was too much for him, too much medication for him," they said.
Prozac is the only antidepressant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use with adolescents.
In October, the FDA ordered that all antidepressants carry prominent warnings about an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children.
And now, groups oposed to the use of antidepresseants in children are calling on the FDA to investigate the possible relationship between Prozac and the Red Lake shootings.
Critic Vera Sharav is president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, a New York-based nonprofit, promoting openness and accountability in medical research. Her group has been calling attention to the potential dangers of giving children and adolescents Prozac.
Sharav points out that Eric Harris, one of the killers in the 1999 Columbine shootings, reportedly was prescribed Prozac. Sharav says Prozac and other antidepressants in the class of drugs known as SSRIs interfere with a person's inhibitions.
"Lots of us have violent thoughts. 'I would like to take this man by the throat, he's bothering me.' But we don't do it. The drug removes that inhibition to act out and that is why you have these explosive situations," says Sharev.
"That's just not a correct scientific statement," counters John M. Plewes, medical advisor at Eli Lilly, the maker of Prozac.
Though the FDA warning points out an increased risk of suicidal thinking, Plewes says that doesn't mean Prozac is at fault.
"There is no credible scientific evidence that has established a causal connection between Prozac and either violent or suicidal behavior," Plewes says. "This kind of behavior sometimes is a part of a serious, life-threatening illness -- that illness can be depression or some other illnesses -- but it's characterized by a variety of symptoms. And suicidal acts and thinking are symptoms of depression."
Despite the controversy over Prozac, an official with the American Psychiatric Association says 1.5 million kids are taking Prozac and other SSRI medications.
David Fassler is a trustee of the APA, and a child and adolescent psychiatrist in Burlington, Vermont. He says about half his adolescent patients are on SSRIs, and says they are very effective. But he says medication is best used with a comprehensive treatment plan that includes talk therapy.
Fassler says daily dosage ranges from 10 to 60 milligrams, based on body size and other factors. The severity of a child's depression is not a factor in determining dosage, he says.
Fassler says he makes sure patients and their parents understand the FDA warnings about SSRIs. He says parents need to advocate for their children to find the best treatment.
"There's no right answer for every family. They need to learn as much as they can about the risks and benefits of all treatment options, and the risk associated with not treating problems like depression," says Fassler. "Over half of the kids with depression will eventually attempt suicide. And between 2 and 5 percent will ultimately die as a result."
Whether or not Prozac played a role in the Red Lake shootings, the incident is likely to fuel still more debate over the safety of treating children and adolescents with the medication, and others like it.

Photo ©Times of India, 28 December 2007.
The above image is a familiar sight on many Indian roads. Though motorcycles and scooters only have two wheels, they often carry up to five passengers. It is illegal to ride without a helmet in Karnataka but for some reason this only applies to the person driving.
The '2-wheeler' has been transporting the Indian nuclear family for decades: daddy drives while the young son either stands (if it's a scooter) or sits on the gas tank (on motorcycles) in front of his father. The mother sits across the back seat carefully keeping the pullu (sari end) of her sari close to her while she hangs on to the back of the seat with one hand and holds the baby with the other arm. This is how millions of families get around.
Apparently this was the image that inspired Ratan Tata to design the much-hyped and awaited Nano. But this isn't an iPod, this is a car: a '4-wheeler' specially designed for the middle-classes. Popularly known as the 'one-lakh' car, this is the world's cheapest automobile with a price tag of 100,000 Rupees (1722 EUR / 2542 CAD / 1284 GBP / 2525 USD).
This technological wonder has been much applauded by the press and heralded as a victory for the middle classes but this has also fed the debate on the state of Indian roads. What will be the consequences of the introduction of a cheap car on the market? What will this do to the already crowded roads and rising pollution levels?
The Nano has also caused speculation about the future of the ubiquitous auto-rickshaw. A cheap means of public transportation, these '3-wheelers' are so much a part of the Indian urban landscape. Will they be replaced by the 'people's car' which is actually cheaper than the price of an auto-rickshaw? The Nano does definitely present many advantages for drivers and passengers compared to the noisy, polluting 'auto': a car offers more protection to its occupants while shielding them from rain, pollution and noise.
The debate about the future of India's roads is a difficult one. Environmentalists are not happy about the introduction of the Nano, but those who can now be the proud owners of a car clearly are. Criticisms in the press are met with the retort: "Everyone has the right to drive!" And so continues the endless debate on India's future: development is good but at what price and for whom?
The Nano is definitely a good idea, but I just hope that it does not open another can of worms in the coming future. With the introduction of this car, traffic would definitely go haywire. When I say this, Delhi comes to my mind because Delhi has more cars than all the cars in Bombay, Chennai and Kolkata combined. Anyway, traffic congestion would mean more flyovers, which would need government/political help, which in turn means corruption to the power of n, and which ultimately means inconvenience and endless trouble to the common man.
Interesting post and photos. Wow, here in the states you would definitely get a ticket if there were three or more on a motorcycle.
Hilarious indeed! Many thanks Anon for visiting and for all your recent comments.

Composition writing is my favourite sort of writing, although I Have dabbled within the speedy narrative genre a little. After you have simplified your Theme, you happen to be heading to want to set an intention on your own essay. Before starting, there are quite a few points you should be familiar with about writing an essay. How precisely to create a quick tale inside an essay. They are able to be quite happy being alone as you dog. Kitty is somewhat pet animal. The feline is a bit dog animal. In addition, you will find centers for pet adoption. If you believe it is trendy to be in control of a leopard or maybe a related wild cat for a pet, you're incorrect. We'd tell her to discover the hamster.

Having a pet horse isn't for a lot of individuals, I have to mention. When a tiger breeds utilizing a lion, it provides increase to compounds. The kitty combined with the storyteller had a distinctive kind of affection for the other person. The 1 child pressing the leash at one time is a really difficult 1 for their sake. I don't think this story was actually an exclusion, I really believe every cat has this very same ability. I had a brilliant childhood developing right up in the nation. You have to never presume your viewers understand what you realize.
Issues and considerations are bound to happen which involves dealing with anyhow.
I am certain there are some other stories I'll be showing about my loves, but this brief article is merely to promote the irreverent grandmother, whoever gets the wild card and may do what they need. Not a lot of people provide the unconditional love that dogs have the ability to offer you. There exists a special pet to suit everybody. Have a pet at home delivers plenty of enjoyment to you personally and your household members. In truth, my feline Manny is, undoubtedly, the trendiest and most interesting cat I've ever encountered. Same is pertinent if you would like to depart from your animals to your own parents and siblings. As an example, a canine is regarded as a guy's best friend.

Individuals must ensure that they're getting a quality function.
It's possible to look for further assistance on the best method to achieve this by seeing my other Hearts on paraphrasing. There are numerous wanders who are actually in urgent need of the residence that could give them food and safety. Their meals requirements aren't the same as the requirements of the dog or cat. As soon as you've a dog, you've got to be sure which they're in good health and they're supplied with the terrific quality of pet options. With each of the previously being considered, a search on this special theme is largely maybe not for the goal of assisting one to stay which animal they had prefer as a pet. To begin with, I'll begin with the topic of training and house breaking. Yes, chickens are excellent animals. I'm convinced no fowl would wish to be caged. I've usually loved animals.

Next-generation photovoltaics for economical clean energy
by Colorado State University
Figure 1. Researchers at Colorado State Univ. have created a roadmap of device structures for CdTe PV performance. Thus far, they have achieved efficiencies of 19.2%. Credit: Colorado State University
Energy sustainability represents one of the grand challenges facing modern society, and thin-film solar photovoltaics provide one of the best opportunities for rapidly expanding renewable energy use. Photovoltaics (PV) using the thin-film semiconductor cadmium telluride (CdTe) have been commercialized at the gigawatts (GW)-per-year scale, with 17.5 GWs installed globally.
In many utility-scale applications, it is less expensive to generate electricity using CdTe PV than fossil fuels. The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) from CdTe PV is ~$0.04/kWh, while the national average LCOE from all sources is $0.11/kWh. Furthermore, the lifecycle emissions of the heavy metal Cd from CdTe PV are lower than those from traditional electricity generation for the same amount of energy generated. CdTe uses approximately one one-hundredth the amount of semiconductor materials used for c-silicon PV (the most common PV in use today) and can be processed 24 times faster than c-silicon.
To further reduce the cost of electricity from CdTe PV, Colorado State Univ. (CSU) researchers and partners at the Center for Next Generation Photovoltaics, an Industry-University Cooperative Research Center funded by the National Science Foundation, developed a performance roadmap (Figure 1). Progress since 2014 has been marked by three advances to the basic cell structure of CdTe PV. The progress was possible thanks to advanced device processing capabilities developed at CSU combined with state-of-the-art materials characterization by its partners.
The first advance was the replacement of the traditional CdS emitter layer with magnesium-doped zinc oxide (MZO). MZO has a higher bandgap that allows more photons to reach the CdTe absorber. In addition, MZO has conduction-band offset that helps reduce interfacial recombination, thereby preserving the voltage.
A second improvement in 2016 was the incorporation of a Te layer at the back of (below) the CdTe, which yielded an improved contact and higher efficiency. These improvements allowed the CSU PV's efficiency to reach 18.3 percent (independently certified) in 2016.
The largest breakthrough, however, was the introduction of an alloy layer of CdTe and CdSe (CdSeTe) in front of the CdTe. One advantage of the CdSeTe layer is its smaller bandgap, which enables it to produce more current. More importantly, however, it has a much longer recombination lifetime than CdTe, and it appears to form an electric field in the favorable direction at the transition to CdTe. These characteristics together have moved the cell voltage about 80 mV closer to the bandgap, and efficiency at CSU labs (without an antireflective [AR] coating) reached 19.2 percent in 2017.
In addition to the high cell efficiencies, the CSU team has built CdTe structures to lay the foundation for the next performance breakthrough. For example, the structures have achieved lifetimes of photogenerated electrons above 1,000 nanoseconds, compared to less than 10 nanoseconds in most CdTe cells. In addition, CSU's structures demonstrate interfacial recombination velocities less than 80 cm/sec, compared to typical values above 104 cm/sec. Concurrently, partners at Washington State Univ. and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have achieved doping levels for holes in CdTe above 1016 cm–3, which is much greater than the typical mid-1014 cm–3 range.
These achievements pave a clear path toward even higher cell efficiencies, and make 25 percent a realistic near-term (3-year) goal and 30 percent a reachable long-term goal. The efficiency gains will lead to lower LCOE from CdTe PV. In addition, the research at CSU is performed on pilot-scale systems, which can be readily translated to industrial manufacturing.
"The researchers at CSU maintain a close coupling between laboratory research and what is commercially impactful," says Markus Gloeckler, Chief Scientist at First Solar. First Solar is the largest manufacturer of CdTe PV modules.

The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) from CdTe PV is ~$0.04/kWh, while the national average LCOE from all sources is $0.11/kWh.
That's a false comparison, because the national average includes the load following capacity which is more expensive, while the PV isn't expected to respond to chages in demand. It's like comparing two cars' fuel economy by comparing only the highway mileage of car #1 to the combined mileage of car #2.
So the PV is cheaper than average, if you totally ignore the cost to integrate it to the grid and instead shift that cost onto the competition to make the comparison seem more favorable.


"Change your racial habits and you change the way you see the world," he asserts.
In stunning language, Wilson-Hartgrove writes of the internalized arrangement that socially colored white people must make in order to maintain racialized relationships.
I think that his is an important work, a kind of spiritual practice for all Christians working through their relationship with the social construct of race.
His words got me to thinking of the habits that we take on because of race. The social construct of race creates a kind of tendency, consistency, dependability and security.
There's a place for every race and every race has its place. There are rules spoken and unspoken.
Crossing to the other side of the street.
Clutching one's purse or locking car doors when a person deemed dangerous based on the social coloring of skin approaches or is nearby.
Othering the bodies of persons because of the social coloring of their skin.
Consider not just what you must think of them but of yourself in order for this pattern of behavior to make sense.
Below is a list of race habits. What does race make you do?
1. Oppressing: It is the idea that one socially constructed race has the upper hand and thereby is destined to dominate all other socially constructed races.
These persons believe themselves to be endowed with the inalienable right to rename people, lay claim to places and remake society as deemed appropriate for their tyrannical narrative.
2. Prejudging: A preconceived opinion not rooted in reality or fact, prejudice has done much to aid the racialized imagination.
With no restrictions, it has made monsters of human beings and the unthinkable becomes reasonable, logical and a matter of fact, if only in one's mind.
4. Dismissing and denying: Systematically oppressed, marginalized and ostracized cultures and people groups have stories to tell, accomplishments to recognize, milestones to celebrate, crimes to report, injustices to recount, experiences that are relatable and worthy of our attention, consideration, inclusion, mutual disappointment or praise and support.
But, these people, their presence and the stories they represent are consistently, regularly and routinely treated as unworthy of consideration. Because this could not possibly be true, and/or it could not have happened to you and/or it could not have happened the way that you say it did and/or it never happened. And I will not give it further thought.
5. Rejecting: Like children and their vegetables, cross-cultural relationships are good for us.
Still, without any experience, we just don't like them, and we do not even want to consider the possibility of a relationship. It is deemed unnecessary, an aversion to particular cultural differences without any interaction.
6. Silence: There is a violence to it – not giving our voice, or not speaking up when we are witnesses, to injustice has life-and-death consequences.
Willfully choosing not to tell the truth when we know it but instead choosing to stay silent in order to "save our own skin" does not speak well of us.
Silence also denies relationship and our ability to relate to an experience. It implies that we are not connected, sharing no commonality.
7. Self-segregation: Pride enables this cultural isolation rooted in an underlying belief regarding racialized identities that we are self-sufficient, self-sustaining and that our social supremacy is self-evident.
Billions of people, thousands of cultures and hundreds of languages, persons who take on the dominant colors of any context assume that "the earth is ours and the fullness thereof" (Psalm 24:1). Somehow, everyone else is a visitor and in the way, out of place and invading space.
Now, what are you going to do to break them?

Mathew Smith is from Sheffield in England, just 20 miles from me. I met him in 2003 in Dallas, Texas, at the 40th anniversary of JFK's assassination. The conference was held by JFK Lancer, as it is every year in November in Dallas. I had read Smith's 'The Second Plot' and considered his investigations of Lee Oswald to be very interesting. LHO was a CIA sleeper, he was sheep-dipped by his handlers into a mission to Cuba, or so Oswald thought.

I had read Smith's 'The Second Plot' and considered his investigations of Lee Oswald to be very interesting. LHO was a CIA sleeper, he was sheep-dipped by his handlers into a mission to Cuba, or so Oswald thought. He was on his way to pick up a light aircraft at Redbird Airfield in Dallas, when Tippett was murdered and he bacame the patsy for JFK. This book was written later, published in 2005. Once again, Smith is very compelling. The murder of Marylyn Monroe was actioned to wreck the political careers of both JFK & RFK. Unfortunately, this was passed as suicide which let the Kennedy's off the hook. Hence the coup d'tat in Dallas. The same forces went to work when RFK was looking favourite for the White House in '68. Another lone nut, another frame up. Finally, the set up at Chappaquiddick was strike 3, to complete the destruction of the dynasty.

This is another book dealing with a conspiracy to assassinate JFK. Where this book differs from most is that it widens the conspiracy theory to include a vendetta against all the Kennedy family. In addition it includes the death of Marilyn Monroe also. The conspiracy has its roots in the Bay of Pigs invasion. The refusal of JFK to provide air support to the invasion embittered many in the CIA who were captured in the failure.

Where this book differs from most is that it widens the conspiracy theory to include a vendetta against all the Kennedy family. In addition it includes the death of Marilyn Monroe also. The conspiracy has its roots in the Bay of Pigs invasion. The refusal of JFK to provide air support to the invasion embittered many in the CIA who were captured in the failure. An alliance was formed with the Mafia, the FBI, and the business establishment to get the Kennedys out of politics. The death of Monroe was actually a murder done to implicate JFK and RFK as they both were believed to have been romantically involved with her. The conspirators felt that being linked to her death would force them out of office in disgrace. When this plan didn't work, they went to plan B which was to assassinate them both. In Ted Kennedy's case, the author contends that Ted was set up in the death of Mary Jo Kopeckne. This theory makes an interesting read, but I'm not sure how convincing. That is left up to the reader.

The book gets very detailed and I feel like I should read it a second time to understand all of the facts from the four "conspiracies" that comprise the book. The author highlights four high profile events that he claims were constructed to ruin the Kennedy's reputation and hinder their ability to get elected to the White House. Those four events are Marilyn Monroe's "suicide," JFK's assassination, RFK's assasination, and Teddy Kennedy and the Chappaquiddick incident. Who knows if all his claims are correct, but there is overwhelming evidence that pieces of information were withheld or hidden from the American public. If you believe everything the government tells you, then you won't like this book. For everyone else, it is quite eye-opening.

Remembering the contributions of our immigrant veterans - Being that it is Veteran's Day, it is important to remember the contributions of immigrants to our armed forces. Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders) are eligible to enlist in the military. Each year, an average of about 8,000.00 non-citizens enlist in the U.S. military.
As of 2008, there were more than 65,000 immigrants enrolled in the armed forces. That constitutes about 5% of all active duty military personnel. Non-citizens have served in the armed forces of the United States going back to the Revolutionary War.
In the Civil War, more than 140,000 Irish immigrants alone served in the United States army. Whole regiments were made up exclusively of Irish immigrants. Several of these regiments were formed into the "Irish Brigade," a famed unit that saw action in some of the most important battles of the war. The brigade was so battle tested that only two other U.S. Army brigades saw higher numbers of casualties over the course of the war.
The Irish Brigade and the myriad of contributions of immigrants to the armed forces before and since the civil war only highlight further the many benefits immigrants bring to our society. As the immigration reform debate continues, this is something we would do well to remember.
Immigration Reform increasingly unlikely this year. Lawmakers are finally starting to concede what many have assumed for some time now: that immigration reform will not be happening this year. While in his home district, Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy told demonstrators outside his office that the 16 days remaining on the House calendar for 2013 were too short a time for the House to take up immigration reform. He did say that he remained committed to votes on immigration reform in 2014, but with 2014 being an election year, the odds seem long.
Hillary Clinton enters the fray. No, she hasn't declared her candidacy for the presidency...yet...but she did make it very clear she wants Congress to pass immigration reform. When taken together with New Jersey Governor Christie's acknowledgment of a broken immigration system, there may be reason to have hope for the future if immigration reform fails to materialize during Obama's second term.
