I'm sure there is a hell of a lot of stuff your iPhone must be doing even though you haven't upgraded to the new iPhone 7. Right from finding your way home to making simple calls, your iPhone can do a lot of things. But there is more to it.
There are a plenty of iPhone features that no one is aware of, not even you probably. Learning these hacks and tips can give you and your iPhone a new life. Well, these are some of the best iPhone hacks and tricks that you weren't aware of.
The universal truth is that iPhone takes a lot of time to recharge. And you have to wait until it recharges to 100%. Whether it is an hour, 2 or, even 3, you need to wait until then. But now, there is a way you can speed up this whole process And it is pretty easy. All you need to do is engaged flight safe mode. By engaging that, you would knock off all your iPhone's extra options like Wi-Fi searching and unknowingly it eats most of your battery. If you are truly worried about your time, then you can do this. Even extra 5% you will add in 20 to 30 minutes connected to the means can make a hell of a lot of difference. In addition, you can check out this post if you want to factory reset iPhone.
Searching a website address on iPhone is quite an activity and getting wherever you need to go on the Internet is pretty much about speed and precision. There is a lot of chance for you to miss something when you are forced to type heavy web addresses. For those reasons, you need to know a shortcut so that you can see time. Just hold down the full stop I can while you are typing a web address and it brings you up shortcut series of URL suffixes like.com dot co.in et cetera.
Unknowingly or knowingly, your iPhone tries to gather data and runs in the background. Whether it is an app that you use often or just a geographical location like where you are. In Settings>Privacy>Location services> System services> frequent locations, Everything is recorded. Not only where you have been or at what time you have been, but also how much time you have spent in each place. Your iPhone is indeed watching you.
We are all very well aware of that tapping the phone screen while taking a photograph can set the camera's point of focus. But the negative point here is that every time we move the camera after choosing the focal point, it disappears. But now, it won't happen anymore. All you need to do is instead of tapping on your phone screen, just press for a second until you see a message that is displayed on your screen "AF Locked." Once you do this you can do anything with your iPhone's camera without losing the focus.
Having different ringtones for different contacts is usual but once we set our iPhone on vibration mode, no matter who calls the phone buzzes in the same way. But you can have custom vibrations for each of your contacts. Select Contacts, contact of your choice, and then hit edit. This option you will see a vibration setting. Now you can have a varied set of settings for each of your contacts including creating new vibration tool.
You might have known that pictures and web pages support multi finger gestures. But those are not the only ones. When you are in a hurry, you can drag your free fingers up on the multitasking menu just to remove those are necessary apps. And your phone will be ready to use in just seconds.
It might be old but it is a good one. When you are ready to take a picture just use volume control buttons to seize your beautiful moment. You can save your time why not blocking the screen whenever you try to hit the touch screen controls. Not enough? You want to it to be removed from your photo capturing shutter controls? Then pressing the volume button with your headphones connected will have the same kind of effect.
Are you still in the first week or even second week of the month but your mobile data has already consumed 2 GB? Well, you don't have to either top up or do something else to get some extra GB. Instead, you can select what kind of apps need to get demoted to the Wi-Fi only list. Not every app needs to be updated even when you are on the go. So just select only those apps which you want to run 24/7. Go to settings>Mobile data and select the apps which can be run only when the WiFi is connected.
Spotlight, iPhone's instant access to key data and services is excellent as it provides quick access to the recent updates in the news and sports. But the disadvantage point here is that it can eat your battery life completely. You can't stop it unless you of specific spotlight features for particular apps to enhance your battery life. Wondering how? Go to settings>General>Spotlight search and now restrict which app eating your battery life.
iPhone 7 users, it is possible to customize the vibration of the home button through the iPhone settings. All you need to do is just go to Settings> General> Home button and now you can choose the level of feedback that you may feel right for you.

Body of NSW mountaineer recovered in India
7:36am Jul 4, 2019
The body of Australian mountaineer Ruth McCance has been airlifted off a remote mountain in India's Himalayas.
Ms McCance was part of an eight-member international mountaineering team who went missing during an expedition on Nanda Devi East after they were hit by an avalanche in late May.
Paramilitary soldiers located the bodies of seven of the eight climbers at an altitude of more than 5000 metres more than a week ago.
Seven bodies were retrieved during aerial missions on Wednesday - including the body of a woman believed to be Ms McCance.
The bodies were moved in bags by a team travelling on foot to a site where they could be more easily be reached by helicopters.
The retrieval of Ms McCance's body comes just days after her husband Trent Goldsack returned to the Sydney church where the couple were wed in 2006 to mourn his late wife.
More than 300 people packed into the memorial service at St James' Church in the city to farewell the avid climber, sailor and jazz singer.

Bodies rescued from the mountain have been brought back to the Pithoragarh district headquarters about 100 kilometres away from the retrieval site.
The bodies will be taken to a hospital in the city of Haldwani.
Only one other body has been identified so far, that of an Indian liaison officer, but the other five cannot yet be identified because they don't have documentation, according to Pithoragarh district magistrate Vijay Kumar Jogdande.
The search for the missing body of the eighth member of the team had to be stopped last week due to bad weather as monsoon season approached.
Authorities will revisit the subject of retrieving the body in three or four months when monsoon season passes.

Becca was coloring. Jess was playing with some blocks on the floor next to her. I just went into the kitchen (which is still basically the living room, separated only by a counter) to get a Diet Coke.
Thank you, Crayola, for your truly washable, non-toxic markers. My carpet thanks you. Jessie's clothes thank you. Her digestive system thanks you.
I wasn't really that thirsty, was I?
Kids DO wash more easily than the carpet....I still have this conversation about NOT writing on your skin with my 8 YO. When will they learn?????
That is just the cutest face!! Butter wouldn't melt !!!
Don't kids just love pens!!
Oh my! Do I remember those days! Hahaha. She is too cute (even colored green). :) One time my hubby was watching Grumpy Boy and well, he was about the same age...and he decided to color our white linoleum (base housing)floor with ORANGE crayons! Thank goodness for baby wipes too, you wouldn't believe the things those suckers clean up!!!

Commerce Resources Ships 100 g Sample of Mixed REC Concentrate – 21.9% NdPr – to Major Global Processor Located Outside of China
December 5, 2022 – Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H0, OTCQX: CMRZF) (the "Company" or "Commerce") is pleased to report that, further to its news release dated October 27, 2022, where it announced a successful scale-up of its process flowsheet to kilogram quantities of mixed rare earth carbonate ("mixed REC"), it has satisfied an additional third-party sample request.
A 100 g sample of mixed REC, with an NdPr oxide distribution of 21.9%, has been shipped to a major global processor of rare earth elements ("REEs") located outside of China. The sample meets typical market specifications and was produced as part of the Company's scale-up from gram quantities (see news releases dated March 23, May 12, July 15, and October 27, 2022) to larger kilogram quantities. The mixed REC sample, with a formula of REE2(CO3)3(H2O)8 as determined by XRD, contains approximately 52% REO, <0.1 ppm Th, and <0.1 ppm U.
The strong NdPr distributions that characterize these Ashram samples (21.6% to 24.2% NdPr) rank among the highest in the world for non-cerium depleted mixed REC concentrates and exceeds that of several major global producers. These samples were produced with the Company's conventional flowsheet developed at Hazen Research, CO, in which several process operations have been demonstrated at a continuous pilot-scale level (see news release dated October 27, 2022).
The Company is currently in the process of producing another ~1.5 kg of mixed REC concentrate to satisfy additional third-party requests. The additional kilogram quantity sample(s) is nearing the REC precipitation stage and is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2023, and will be delivered to the relevant parties immediately following.
In the rare earth industry, a mixed REC concentrate is typically viewed as the initial marketable product in the REE value chain. A mixed REC is readily saleable as it is the most common feedstock to REE solvent extraction facilities globally, which separate the individual REEs and allow for them to be individually refined into marketable products and disseminated throughout downstream value chains.

About the Ashram Deposit
The Ashram Deposit ranks as one of the largest REE (and fluorspar) deposits globally, consisting of a monazite dominated, single mineralized body outcropping at surface, and has a footprint approximately 700 m along strike, over 300 m across, and 600 m deep, remaining open in several directions. The deposit hosts a measured resource of 1.6 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.77% rare earth oxide (REO) and 3.8% F, an indicated resource of 27.7 Mt at 1.90% REO and 2.9% F, and an inferred resource of 219.8 Mt at 1.88% REO and 2.2% F, at a cut-off grade of 1.25% REO (Effective Date July 5th, 2012). Note, mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.

I had a canary for 8 years while growing up. "Lady" was an aggressive hen who sang.
I would take her out to the backyard (holding her securely so she could not be hurt) and have her nibble on aphids that were found on rosebushes.
She loved dandelion buds, flowers and leaves and would beg for them. Lady had to be watched as sometimes she would become constipated and would need to have the blockage cleared.
Over time she would beg for affection by balancing on one claw and making "pawing" motions with the other.
Sometimes she would cling to the wires of the cage. I'd pick her up, cradle her in my hand and stroke her back. If she did not get cuddled,she would sulk.
Anyone who thinks that the "little ones" do not bond is mistaken. It takes time but it is worth the effort.

What exactly are binary options in addition to steps to create all of them?
binary options is a single risky investment through internet business. The angel investor makes a decision the specific variety of utility of which buys and establishes whether the price tag can rise or even fall. It is a unsafe approach, since you also really have to by some means estimate tomorrow using different techniques, in addition to due to the fact clairvoyance can be described as uncommon product, you'll be able to get rid of a lot. But additionally get a great deal.
binary options it's identity a consequence of a very simple method to investment. Like binary platforms are merely those and zeroes, therefore, the selections are usually stipulated simply lessens in addition to accelerates. This is the key change concerning all of them in addition to standard playing that industry, the place the idea brings in only to the increase with the price tag on some sort of investment. Such can be several. It is possible to opt for the foreign money, that is your relative amount within the price tags for the several values. As an example, if the european firms relative to north america . money, and the trader in the same way predicted - makes.
Another asset may be garbage which include silver, golden or simply petroleum. You can also pick most famous off conveys and all at once indices. In this case, the method is related to a normal making an investment that stock exchange, while using the change which you could additionally make money upon is reduced with share prices.
Your binary options usually are dedicated to chosen real estate agents.
Roughly just about 5 %. Customers commit profit makes that. But then sanctioned increased chance of profitable in comparison to the Aileron. Still, as a way to earn a few more money by means of these investments you need to understand that skills with guessing currency markets.
Whole dietary supplements is a subject of worldwide interest currently. A profusion of evidence has recently emerged suggesting that regular synthetic multivitamin supplements may be hazardous to your wellbeing. Goran Bjelakovic, a reputed scientist from the School of Copenhagen, headed up a massive meta-study that viewed the results of 67 placebo-controlled trials previously undertaken to determine the effects of supplement and anti-oxidant supplements on longevity. In the end, the scholarly study combined observations of 232 000 test subjects. By using such a large population sample, a study can become much more powerful with regards to spotting large-scale styles and overcoming human bias.
The results of the analysis, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, were nothing significantly less than shocking. Looking at patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and lung malignancy, as well as healthy, normal individuals, there was no apparent benefit to taking popular fractionated supplements like Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Selenium, or beta-Carotene. In fact, the results proceeded to go in the contrary direction - there is a greater chance of loss of life (16 percent) among Supplement A users, a 7 percent higher death count amongst beta-Carotene users, and a 4 percent mortality increase in Vitamin E users. Retinol and Beta-Carotene, promoted as anti-carcinogenic agents, may promote lung malignancy. That's right - pills marketed as helping you towards a longer, healthier life are actually correlated with a speedier demise. This research used typical supplements on the market made from synthetic vitamin supplements.
To add salt to the wound, a recent study published in the Uk Journal of Nutrition under the unimaginative name of "Ascorbic Acid Supplementation Does Not Attenuate Post-Exercise Muscle Soreness Pursuing Muscle-Damaging Exercise But May Delay The HEALING PROCESS" indicated that supplementation with anti-oxidants from synthetic resources may reverse lots of the beneficial ramifications of physical training.
Now, this isn't to say that vitamins or anti-oxidants are harmful to you. Definately not it - these supplements were created on the basis of solid science. Anti-oxidants are still thought to protect cells from the ravages of free radicals. The nagging problem, rather, is the essential proven fact that you can get those benefits from synthetic isolated substances. Disease and growing older are more complicated than test-tube studies can account for usually. Furthermore, the problem of bioavailability is an ever-present concern. Many typical synthetic supplements include huge amounts of the advertised vitamin, but absence the additional substances needed to ensure that their key elements are actually consumed by your body. Passing direct through the digestive tract, these 'miracle health treatments' often find yourself doing little beyond giving people expensive urine. To the rescue...Entire Food Supplements.

America's Best Macaroni And Cheese Gallery
By Dan Myers|Jan. 17, 2018 10:00 am EST
America's Best Macaroni and Cheese
Crave Kitchen
Macaroni and cheese is one of those perfect foods. Whether made with powder from a packet or a combination of five cheeses and béchamel sauce, it's nearly impossible to dislike. In recent years, mac and cheese has become a staple of restaurants ranging from barbecue joints to bistros, and we've tracked down the 10 best examples in America.
#10 Cochon Butcher, New Orleans
Cochon Butcher
The next-door offshoot of chef Donald Link's renowned Cochon, this hybrid butcher and sandwich shop serves some stunning macaroni and cheese. Sharp white Cheddar, cream cheese, and tomato paste serves as the foundation for their version, which is mixed with elbow macaroni and diced house-cured pancetta before being topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano and bread crumbs.
#9 Queens Comfort, Queens, N.Y.
Queens Comfort
Walk into the fun and quirky Queens Comfort (which specializes in — what else? — comfort food) and look around, and you'll notice that just about every table is enjoying an order or two of macaroni and cheese. They offer six varieties of macaroni and cheese (including a deep-fried version with sriracha and ranch and another with pulled pork and shoestring onions), but the best place to start is with the classic: It's made with elbow macaroni, fontina, Cabot Cheddar, and aged gouda, and is served in a giant portion with a brown, crunchy, and bubbly crust.
#8 Slows Bar-B-Q, Detroit
Slows Bar BQ
This classic side dish is elevated to new heights at this trendy Detroit barbecue joint. Shells are combined with a sauce made primarily with béchamel and mild Cheddar, and, as a finishing touch, more grated Cheddar is broiled on top. It's rich, creamy, and insanely addictive.
#7 Little Bird Bistro, Portland, Ore.
David Reamer
Chef Gabriel Rucker knows his cheese, and each gratin dish that leaves his kitchen at Portland's celebrated Little Bird is a head-turner. Small elbow macaroni is mixed with béchamel, white Tillamook Cheddar, Gruyère, and an ever-changing third cheese. Every time you visit, the dish will be slightly different, but still ridiculously tasty.
#6 Cheesetique, Arlington and Alexandria, Va.
At this Northern Virginia cheese shop and wine bar, owner Jill Erber uses macaroni and cheese as a way to showcase some of the cheeses she has on offer. Ramekins are filled with elbow macaroni mixed with a combination of asiago, goat gouda, and cacio di Roma, then topped with breadcrumbs and a hit of truffle oil before getting a blast in the broiler. The mix of cheeses (plus the not-unwelcome truffle essence) makes for a comforting and homey final product.
#5 Crave Kitchen & Cocktails, Mount Pleasant, S. Car.
The "secret ingredient" in Crave executive chef Landen Ganstrom's legendary macaroni and cheese may be a mystery, but the creamy, tangy, gooey result of a combination of ten year-aged California Cheddar, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and mozzarella is insanely delicious, helped along by the genius decision to replace macaroni with chewy corkscrew-shaped cavatappi. You can top your mac with your choice of pulled pork, lobster, bacon, broccoli, chicken, scallops, shrimp, or short ribs, but we suggest keeping it unadorned.
#4 Yardbird, Miami
Five cheeses go into this Miami hotspot's super-popular macaroni and cheese: Grayson, Swiss, Cheddar, red Leicester, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Combined into a creamy sauce and tossed with a spiral-shaped pasta called torchio, it's topped with bread crumbs and chives before being served in a heaping baking dish. Unique, creative, and delicious, this mac and cheese hits all the right marks.
#3 Murray's Cheese Bar, New York
Murray's Cheese
If there's one thing that the chefs at Murray's Cheese Bar, the restaurant offshoot of one of the country's most famous cheese shops, know, it's cheese. And the macaroni and cheese that they devised to be the flagship dish (they've tweaked it a couple times since opening) is worthy of the heaps of praise that have been lavished upon it. Spring Brook Reading lends creaminess, Comté adds nuttiness, Irish Cheddar gives it a subtle tang, and a heap of fried onions on top elevate it into the stratosphere.
#2 Blue Plate, San Francisco
Blue Plate
The macaroni and cheese at chef Cory Obenour's Blue Plate was created more than ten years ago and is still one of the most popular menu items. The secret ingredient? Semi-firm drunken goat cheese, from Murcia, Spain, which is cured in red wine. When combined with elbow macaroni, white Cheddar, Tabasco, nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard, the finished product is creamy, tangy, a little spicy, and worthy of cultish devotion.
#1 Beecher's Handmade Cheese, Seattle and New York
Beecher's

Donald Trump's fall from hip-hop grace: From rap icon to public enemy No. 1
Donald Trump had been hailed in hip-hop lyrics for decades. No longer.

Barring Kanye West, it's not news that the vast majority of hip-hop artists -- from underground rappers to icons like Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and T.I. -- have become powerful voices in the resistance against President Donald Trump.
But only a few years ago -- as recently as 2015 -- hip-hop's storied relationship with the celebrity business mogul-turned president told a very different tale.
Trump was an indisputable icon in hip-hop music for decades, and the admiration for his success and swagger is documented in more than 300 rap verses. Lyrics examined by ABC News show Trump was hailed for his wealth and power and idolized in songs that date back to at least the late 1980s.
"He was an American icon that stood for success and wealth, and that was something that was valued, particularly among a community of folks that were coming from lower class backgrounds and people who were locked out of the mainstream American economy," Bakari Kitwana, the Executive Director of Rap Sessions, told ABC News.

What Trump's hip-hop tweets reveal
Before he ran for president, Trump got shouts-outs from virtually every corner of the hip-hop world -- West Coast rappers like Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, East Coast rappers like Puff Daddy aka P. Diddy and 50 Cent and southern rappers like Lil Wayne and Jeezy.
Several songs were even named after Trump.
In his 2011 song, "Trump," Atlanta rapper Jeezy hails his own success and labels himself the Trump of the hood: "Richest n**** in my hood, call me Donald Trump, the type of n**** to count my money while I smoke a blunt."
In "Up Like Trump," -- the 2014 hit by hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, Swae Lee raps, "Forbes list, Forbes list, Forbes list, Forbes, read it like the Bible/Up like Donald Trump, chain swings like nunchucks."
And in the late rapper Mac Miller's 2014 hit, "Donald Trump," the Pittsburgh rapper boasts about his Trump-like persona: "Ay yo, the flyest m*****f***** in the room. Yeah, you know it's me."

And in more than 60 tweets about hip-hop, Trump either wrote about songs he was mentioned in or artists who praised or criticized him.
"Oh no, another rapper doing a Trump song --"Young Jeezy - Trump Lyrics." Why aren't these guys paying me?" Trump tweeted in 2012.
And in January Trump responded to Jay Z's criticism of his administration in a tweet, writing, "Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!"
In his 2016 viral anti-Trump anthem, "FDT" or "F*** Donald Trump," rapper YG offers a direct reflection on the transformation of Trump's symbolism in hip-hop over the years:
"Me and all my peoples, we always thought he was straight. Influential m****f**** when it came to the business. But now, since we know how you really feel, this how we feel -- F*** Donald Trump," YG raps, accusing Trump of being a "racist."
Termanology, who has been performing "How We Rock" at his shows since 2008, reflected on the evolution of the symbolism of "Trump" and said that his own verse now carries a different meaning.
"We didn't know that [Trump] was going to become president, and we didn't know he was going to act the way he acts. It kind of struck all of us by surprise and now we cringe when we hear our own references to the guy we thought was cool. It wasn't political back then," Termanology added. "The coolest thing you could do was be in Trump Tower. It just symbolized wealth and success ... now it doesn't symbolize that anymore. It symbolizes racism and ignorance."
In nearly 50 tweets, Trump wrote about Miller's 2011 hit, "Donald Trump," going from slamming the rapper and demanding that he gets royalties from the song to boasting about how many views the song got and claiming that it's doing well because Miller used his name.
Here are a few of those tweets:
From modern day stars like Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj, to old-school legends such as Ice Cube, Raekwon, Master P., Busta Rhymes and Mos Def, Trump and his brand were name-dropped by top artists in hip-hop for nearly 30 years and several mentioned him more than once.

At the time, Trump was seen attending parties with Puff Daddy, was personal friends with hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and was making guest appearances on iconic shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" alongside Will Smith. Trump even appeared on G-Unit radio in 2005 with 50 Cent.

Trump noted Diddy's admiration for him by sharing an article about it in October 2015.
But Kitwana, a culture critic who wrote the book, "Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop," cautions that Trump's relationship with hip-hop was always about Trump.
References to him were "more of a nod to the aspirational culture in hip-hop," Kitwana said, not an indication that the business mogul, who spread birther theories about Barack Obama, launched a crusade against the Central Park Five and mocked the "Black Lives Matter" movement, was a friend to the hip-hip community.
"I wouldn't say that Trump was a part of the hip-hop community," Kitwana told ABC News. "I would say that he got shout-outs. Even Jay Z talked about being at Trump Tower, but that's just like anyone getting shout-outs in hip-hop."
'I'm Donald Trump in a white tee and white 1's'
In his 2004 book "How to Get Rich" Trump not only says that having an ego is OK, but strongly argues that it is a necessary personality trait and without it, you can't be successful. Trump explains his ideology in a chapter titled, "Have an Ego":
"Having a well-developed ego, contrary to popular opinion, is a positive attribute. It is the center of our consciousness and serves to give us a sense of purpose. I remember saying to someone, 'Show me someone with no ego and I'll show you a big loser.'"

Having a big ego has also been central to many rappers' identities and the subject of many rap songs -- and many rappers referenced Trump to boast about themselves.
Examples of lyrics that mirror this notion are so copious, but here are a few examples of songs that tie the notion of having an ego directly to Trump:
In "Black Trump," a 2003 song featuring Raekwon, the Wu-Tang Clan rapper boasts about his money and status: "You gotta make power moves, black gunz and cash rule," and ends the song with "Guess who's the black Trump."
In his classic 2005 album and single, "Thug Motivation 101," Jeezy raps, "I'm Donald Trump in a white tee and white 1's/ The conversation is money, n****, you want some?"
In Kanye West's 2010 single, "So Appalled," West compares his baller status to Trump's: "I'm so appalled, Spalding ball, balding Donald Trump taking dollars from y'all."
In his 2003 hit, "Dirt Off Your Shoulders," Jay Z famously raps: "If you feeling like a pimp n----, go and brush your shoulders off," and in his outro says, "You're now tuned into the m-----f------ greatest. Best rapper alive, best rapper alive."
In "How to Get Rich," Trump writes that brushing the dirt off your own shoulder -- which he refers to as tooting your own horn -- is key to success: "So don't be afraid to toot your own horn when you've done something worth tooting about."
'All I do is win'
Few politicians talk about "winning" as much as Trump. The president continued to boast about winning the election months after Inauguration Day, vowed that America will "get tired of winning" if he's elected and has boasted about winning everything from the presidential debates, the economy, and the polls.
Trump even treated his first divorce "as a business deal and he cannot lose, he has to win," his ex-wife Ivana Trump told ABC News in October 2017.
And for years, hip-hop celebrated Trump's "winning."
Hip-hop lyrics are filled with success stories from many artists who come from humble backgrounds and the name "Trump" -- which also happens to rhyme with a lot, Kitwana noted -- was the perfect reference for many rappers to bring the point home.

Gucci Mane compares his wins to Trump in the 2015 song "Straight Drop": "Break down all my bales in Ferragamo/ Hugo Boss, jumper cause I just Donald Trump you."
"So much money in my house I'm having cold sweats/ Throwing bands in the club they sending death threats/ Donald Trump bank account, you can call it that," Waka Flocka Flame raps in the remix of French Montana's "Everything's A Go."
In his 2012 song "I Need Dollas," T.I. reflects on his success and describes the new level he's on by invoking Trump: "Used to want dough like JC (penny) but now I'm thinking Donald Trump."
In DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win," a track from his 2010 album "Victory," T-Pain's hook goes:
"All I do is win, win, win no matter what/Got money on my mind, I can never get enough."
When Trump spoke to a crowd of supporters in June 2017 at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, decrying his critics, the President's words literally sounded like they were lifted from Khaled's hit: "They have a phony witch hunt going against me and you know what: All we do is win, win, win."
'Get the whole Trump Tower top floor for the hood'
In "How to Get Rich," Trump reflects on the powerful brand name he has built and boasts about how the name "Trump" has come to symbolize quality and success.

A view of Trump Tower in New York, June 14, 2018.
A revealing excerpt comes in the beginning, where Trump relates the story of how he decided to name Trump Tower after himself.
"I was originally going to call Trump Tower by another name -- Tiffany Tower, for the famous jewelry store next door. I asked a friend, "Do you think it should be Trump Tower or Tiffany Tower?' He said, 'When you change your name to Tiffany, call it Tiffany Tower.' We've all seen the power of a brand name. ... Trump has become a great brand name, due to my rigorous standards of design and quality."
He was definitely right, and hip-hop took notice. For years artists promoted Trump's brand.
Since the '80s, Trump Tower in New York City and Trump's casinos in Atlantic City were powerful symbols of the Trump empire and were frequented by many rappers.
In DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's 1989 song "Numero Uno," Will Smith raps, "Cause you're gambling just like craps at Trump," and in the duo's 1989 song, "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson," Smith raps, "Me and Mike, two months, Trump, Atlantic City."
In the 2011 song, "New York Minute (remix)," Nicki Minaj raps: "I was in the Trump Towers looking for some shower gel."
In Nas's 2008 song "Make the World Go Round," he raps: "Get the whole Trump Tower top floor for the hood."
And while filming the video for the 2008 song, "How We Rock," in which rapper Termanology name-drops Trump, he and his crew stayed at Trump Tower and even "paid out of pocket," he told ABC News, because "that's how cool we thought it was."
"I copped enough coke and guns to open Trump Towers of my own, then I control the slums," he raps in the song.
For many, Trump -- or what he symbolized -- was the dream and in "How to Get Rich" Trump reflects on this:
"I've read stories in which I'm described as a cartoon, a comic book version of the big-city business mogul with the gorgeous girlfriend and the private plane and the personal golf course and the penthouse apartment with marble floors and gold bathroom fixtures," Trump wrote in the chapter "Think Big and Live Large." "But my cartoon is real. I am the creator of my own comic book, and I love living in it."
"It used to be cool to be like 'I'm like Trump, I got the money, I got the girl, I'm the cool guy with all the wealth and all that,'" Termanology said. "But now that we got to see what he's about, we no longer rock with him."
In hip-hop, Trump will never be great again
Upon jumping into the presidential ring, Trump quickly became hip-hop's public enemy, number one. Artists may have liked his persona, but they did not like his politics.
Although Kanye West, who is set to meet with Trump at the White House on Thursday, has remained defiant in the face of backlash over his support for the president, the rapper's stance, which has prompted a firestorm from fans and artists alike, is virtually an outlier in the hip-hop community.

Trump's old friend Russell Simmons, who backed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016, reflected on the deterioration of their relationship in a 2016 letter to his "old friend" Trump and urged him to "stop fueling fires of hate."
Citing everything from his dismissal of the "Black Lives Matter" movement, his advocacy for stop-and-frisk policing policies, his comments following the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to his ongoing battle against NFL players who take a knee during the national anthem to protest racism, plus a host of other controversial comments on race and racism in America, hip-hop artists have railed against Trump in both lyrics and public appearances.

"Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!" Trump tweeted in response to Snoop Dogg's 2017 video for "Lavender," where he aims a toy gun at a clown appearing to be dressed up as Trump.

FBI releases declassified 9/11 document after Biden order
The FBI on Saturday released the first document related to its investigation of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the US and allegations of Saudi government support for the hijackers.
The FBI on Saturday released the first document related to its investigation of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and allegations of Saudi government support for the hijackers, following an executive order by President Joe Biden.
Relatives of the victims had called on Biden to skip memorial events to mark Saturday's 20th anniversary if he did not declassify documents that they have contended will show Saudi Arabian authorities supported the plot.
The partially redacted 16-page document released by the FBI outlined contacts between the hijackers and Saudi associates, but no evidence the government in Riyadh was complicit in the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.
Saudi Arabia has long said it had no role in the attacks. The Saudi embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent out of hours late on Saturday.
In a statement issued on September 8, the embassy said Saudi Arabia had always advocated for transparency around the events of September 11, 2001, and welcomed the release by the United States of classified documents relating to the attacks.
"As past investigations have revealed, including the 9/11 Commission and the release of the so-called '28 Pages,' no evidence has ever emerged to indicate that the Saudi government or its officials had previous knowledge of the terrorist attack or were in any way involved," the embassy's statement said.
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. A US government commission found no evidence that Saudi Arabia directly funded al-Qaeda, the group given safe haven by the Taliban in Afghanistan at the time. It left open whether individual Saudi officials might have.
The families of roughly 2,500 of those killed, and more than 20,000 people who suffered injuries, businesses and various insurers, have sued Saudi Arabia seeking billions of dollars.
In a statement on behalf of the organization 9/11 Families United, Terry Strada, whose husband Tom was killed on September 11, said the document released by the FBI put to bed any doubts about Saudi complicity in the attacks.
America marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11 with pleas for unity at solemn ceremonies across the country.
"We love you and we miss you," relatives said as somber violin music played at the official ceremony, attended by President Joe Biden and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Lee Radford not surprised to see players shaking off injuries in time for Magic Weekend
Hull FC take on Huddersfield Giants at Anfield on Saturday
Players from each Super League team on the Anfield pitch
Lee Radford admits it isn't a surprise to see his Hull FC players attempting to shake off injuries in order to feature at Magic Weekend at Anfield.
The Black and Whites have been boosted by the return of Josh Bowden after a year on the sidelines with a knee problem, while Danny Houghton and Sika Manu are attempting to shake off respective calf and ankle injuries that kept them out of last weekend's game.
However, Radford believes the opportunity to feature at such an iconic venue will be something every one of his players will undoubtedly relish as they take on Huddersfield Giants.
"Players like playing at Magic Weekend. It's no surprise that everyone has pushed as hard as they can to get back for this one," Radford said.

"It's a huge event and a great event by the RFL and Super League and the NRL have obviously taken that on. I really enjoyed watching the Summer Bash and the NRL's Weekend. The more rugby you can watch in a weekend the better for me. This one is no different.
"It's a funny stadium, it's got so much history. It'll be interesting to see what it's like with a rugby crowd in there but it's one I'm looking to. I've only been once, to watch them against Barcelona in a friendly and it's a fantastic environment.
"The atmosphere at Magic Weekend is slightly different, it's not the norm, but it's one I'm looking forward to."

"Mini-Prison" at Marcos Pass: the secret place where Kirchers' former accountant was before being released
argentina May 18, 2019 argentina
During the last two weeks of the arrest, Victor Manzanares stayed in a special place: a three-room house located in Marcos Pass prison. The location has been specially refurbished to accommodate some members of the Witness and Associate program. It has bars, chambers, a kitchen and even a patio where you can go for a walk without being in contact with other prisoners.Despite the comforts, this is not a VIP place. "Mini-Prison" is a bunker with three security rings. Mansanares was alone, surrounded by members of Los Lobos, an elite group dedicated to the care of the members of the program.
Mansanares regretted in February and is going through a long trial until he is admitted as a fellow-assistant. In his court statements, and then in the media, he told him how he had used the money for Daniel Munoz and the details of the baggage movement. He also revealed that the expertise in the case of Kirchners' illegal enrichment would have been armed.
In recent weeks, Kirchner's former accountant He sent public messages to gain benefits after his discoveries. He even threatened to give up the program, which is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. But he has always been careful not to complicate the situation of the former president. That is why, in Comodo Route, they very much suspect their words, "He became a millionaire with all this, he regrets nothing," – said a researcher who had it face to face.
Two weeks ago, Manzanares left the cell where he had been in the last few months in the Palermo area. In this place, I could not go out into the yard and suffered a jail. The transfer to Marcos Pass prison is done secretly and kept in reserve.
Retention conditions have improved, confirmed by his defense. "Ait will be better ", ironically last night, his lawyer Roberto Erero.
The place that was specially prepared for Mansanares was empty, but those responsible for the witness and contributor's agenda are now analyzing who will occupy these three places. "We need to analyze profiles, not to live with ex-employees with drug traffickers", a formal official source.
Though he threatened to quit the program, Kirchner's former accountant is still inside him. It was therefore decided not to return to their home but in a "special" place to protect their safety.

Over the past few years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices and popularity have risen tremendously. And owing to the mounting prices, investments made in blockchain have also grown by leaps and bounds.
In the blockchain process, data is assembled into so-called blocks which are chained together. Here, each block is built on the last one through complicated math processes that ingest information such as time stamps where any attempt to go back and alter existing data becomes very intricate for Bitcoin miners.
Today, a large number of corporations and government organizations are working to leverage the blockchain model to address various challenges. For example, several departments of the United Nations are experimenting with blockchain to handle weather change problems and manage identity challenges faced by stateless people. However, blockchain has recently come under fire from proponents who are skeptic that this technology can prove beneficial in the longer run. Several critics of blockchain opine that the rapid developments in blockchain may soon replace the time-tested traditional systems, ominously, even before those replacements can be thoroughly tested for their robustness and reliability.

Now that school is winding down and winter break has arrived it's the perfect time to make sure that you're on track for transferring and graduation. So in order to make sure that there aren't any surprises come the end of the school year, you should probably start scheduling appointments with your school counselors. Below are some useful tips that will help you make the most of your time that you have left at your current college.
Now that general education is taken care of you're going to need to start planning out your major. See assist.org.
This website is especially important because it tells you what classes universities want you to complete in order to apply for that major at their university. The UC and CSU system are different and have very different requirements for admissions, that means you need to eventually decide what system you're going to want to aim for, but that's not super important right now. Here's the link to the website: ASSIST.
Input the current college that you're attending.
Input the university that you want to transfer to.
The website will bring up a list of classes that you will need to complete or nearly complete before applying, the page also tells you about the TAG program and if the university offers one. TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) is an agreement between your college and the universities saying that if you complete the following classes with a 3.0 GPA or better they will guarantee you admission to the university; HOWEVER, you may only TAG one university. Here is a link about it: TAG.
On your school's website or outside your major's department office there will be posted degree requirements that must be met for graduation. Be sure to consult this checklist of requirements whenever you're picking your next set of classes, this will keep you on track. Furthermore, always have a 1 academic plan in order to give priority to classes that are only offered once or twice a year.
During my stay at UCSC I kept a print out of the checklist by my computer which gave me motivation because after finals I was able to mark off a couple more classes.
Most of the time counselors did not graduate with the degree you seek, be sure to take their advice on classes with a grain of salt. Some students run into graduation delays due to counselors recommending introductory classes that are unnecessary, which can cause up to 1 year delays in graduation. My best advice, to make sure that you're on the optimal path, is to seek out peer advisers through your department. These advisers are upper division students that have your major and know the best path to take for an on-time graduation. Not to mention these students can give you advice about what teachers to avoid, classes that they didn't enjoy, and gage whether you should take that introductory class or skip it. When I was in undergrad, I often consulted these advisers first and then talked to the school counselor about my proposed plan.
With all of these helpful websites now in your pocket you won't have to worry about taking classes that don't transfer, aren't needed, or delay your timeline. Remember to also check in with your counselor at least once a quarter/semester to update your academic plan. Good Luck and see you next Wednesday!

Former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled a speech at Concordia University in Montreal after several hundred demonstrators managed to get into a university building.
The demonstrators, who called Netanyahu anti-Palestinian and a terrorist, threw chairs and newspaper boxes at police, who were trying to evacuate the building where Netanyahu was supposed to speak.
Police responded with pepper spray or tear gas, and made at least one arrest.
Netanyahu was not present. Police and his assistants said he would not give his speech in the circumstances.
There was a long standoff between the pro-Palestinian demonstrators and the students who had come to hear Netanyahu speak. The demonstrators were pleased they had stopped him talking.
"There's no free speech for hate speech," said Palestinian activist David Battistuzzi.
Earlier, Netanyahu told a media conference that democratic countries should back the U.S. proposal to remove Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
Saddam is willing to wage war, and must be stopped before he gets nuclear weapons, he said.
"To wait until this tyrant develops nuclear weapons would be a big mistake."
Netanyahu was Israel's prime minister from 1996 to 1999 as leader of the Likud Party.
Earlier this year, Likud members voted against the establishment of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu was the driving force behind the motion.
He is scheduled to speak in Toronto Tuesday, where more protests are planned.
