At around 5:00 a.m. ET, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to price, was higher at around 1.7778%, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond rose to 2.2351%.
The outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus in China's Wuhan region sent Treasury yields to a two-week low on Tuesday, with experts calling back the economic fallout from the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) crisis in 2003. Fears of a global pandemic sent investors running for safety and saw stock markets tumble.
However, China on Wednesday announced sweeping measures to contain the virus, which has killed nine people and infected more than 400. A first U.S. case was confirmed Tuesday in Washington State, but health officials have said the affected individual "poses little risk" to the public.

Top Democratic presidential candidates all want to boost Social Security benefits. On Wednesday, Biden denied he would cut Social Security benefits if he wins the White House, in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." But Sanders' campaign has questioned Biden's record because he has called for cuts to the program in the past. Both Biden and Sanders have outlined measures to expand, not cut, benefits as part of their 2020 presidential campaign platforms. Meanwhile, Sanders calls for giving $1,30

Former Vice President Joe Biden (L) greets Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) before the Democratic presidential primary debate at Drake University on January 14, 2020 in Des Moines, Iowa.
But two of the candidates — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former vice president Joe Biden — have come to figurative blows over this very issue.
The crux of the argument: whether Biden has fought to protect or previously backed cuts to the program.
But Sanders' campaign has questioned Biden's record because he has called for cuts to the program in the past. In response, Biden and his campaign have accused Sanders' team of misrepresenting recent comments and even doctoring a recent video.
Both candidates also call for raising Social Security payroll taxes from their current $137,700 cap in order to get more money into the program.
That would pave the way for benefit increases, which both candidates back. Their plans, however, differ.
Biden calls for increasing benefits for those who have been receiving retirement checks for at least 20 years, as well as for widows and widowers. His plan also would set a new minimum benefit, so that workers who have paid into the system for at least 30 years would get a benefit equal to at least 125% of the federal poverty level.
Meanwhile, Sanders calls for giving $1,300 more per year to seniors with incomes of $16,000 or less. His plan also calls for raising benefits for low-income workers as well as higher annual cost-of-living adjustments.
Despite those seemingly compatible goals, the two candidates are at odds.

Carlyle's David Rubenstein: Trump 'policies seem to be working' to boost the US economy
Policies implemented under the Trump administration seem to be boosting the U.S. economy, private equity billionaire David Rubenstein said on CNBC on Tuesday. "Some of these policies seem to be working," The Carlyle Group co-founder told "Squawk Box" from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, without getting specific. "There's some bragging about the economy, but the economy is in really good shape," said Rubenstein, whose Carlyle has $222 billion of assets under management. Rubenstein

Rubenstein was addressing questions about the optimism from White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow, who told "Squawk Box" earlier from Davos that he expects U.S. economic growth to top 3% this year.
"There's some bragging about the economy, but the economy is in really good shape," said Rubenstein, whose Carlyle has $222 billion of assets under management. "Who would have predicted a year ago that we'd be here today?"
Rubenstein pointed to signs of a stronger economy ahead, including low unemployment, historically low interest rates and continued optimism around U.S.-China trade relations. He added that concerns about a global economic recession, which were building last year before the "phase one" trade deal between Washington and Beijing, are dissipating.
The economy is in "reasonably good shape," Rubenstein said. But he argued that it could "always be better, could always be fairer."
As areas of improvement, he started by pointing out that the federal budget deficit could be lower. Recent figures showed the U.S. government was on track for its first fiscal year shortfall of over $1 trillion in about seven years. He also cited income inequality, lack of social mobility and concerns about whether entitlements like Medicare and Social Security will be there for futures generations.
Rubenstein, a major philanthropist, is one of the signatories to the Giving Pledge, which was created by Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett to get the ultra-wealthy to give away more than half of their fortunes to charity. Rubenstein, for example, matched federal funding of $7.5 million to expedite the renovation of the Washington Monument after damage from a rare D.C.-area quake in August 2011.
Earlier in his career, Rubenstein donated to both Democratic and Republican candidates and causes. But he has not made a political contribution in more than a decade.

Staying motivated to meet your goals can be challenging. If you're looking for a fun, easy strategy to help you stay on track, try coming up with creative ways to organize your daily planner. Some members of the #plannercommunity, which has over 3 million posts on Instagram, like to deck out their daily planners with pops of color, stickers, and more. Putting extra effort into your planner is more than a fun, crafty project. Writing your goals down and adding some flare to the planning process can help you visualize those smaller tasks and bigger goals for the week, making you more organized and productive in the long run. "This helps you carve out what's important," Chris Bailey, author of "Hyperfocus: How to Manage Attention in a World of Distraction," told Grow last year. "You can decide what needs to get done instead of responding to what's urgent." Here are a few tips to help you jazz up your planner and boost your productivity.
1. Create a section for creativity
You want to motivate yourself to look at your planner at least once a day to make sure you're on task. So find a way to make it fun. Before you write down your to-dos, take a few minutes to create a space to jot down what you're grateful for each day. "A lot of times, I'll create a section in my planner for me to write down what I'm thankful for that day so that I can continue to practice having gratitude each day," says Kelly Smith of Freedom In A Budget. If your creativity comes out in images, use that space to doodle. Taking a few minutes to use that space for creativity or reflection can help you feel more refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the day. And if your planner makes you feel uplifted, you're more likely to check it.
2. Pick a word or motto for the week
When you're planning out your week, think of an inspiring quote, or even a single word, that you want to define it. Your word or phrase might be "adventurous" or "try new things," anything that inspires you to meet the challenges you'll face in a given week. When you've hit a rough spot in your week, or when you don't feel like completing the tasks in your planner, refer back to this quote and remind yourself of what you hope to accomplish.
3. Throw in pops of color
"I usually use a color coding system, which probably wouldn't work for everyone's brain, but it does for mine, and it's a way to keep me organized, while still making the process enjoyable," says Allison Strickland, the blogger behind Financial Flamingo. Think of a few different categories of tasks that you complete regularly. These might include work-related tasks, household chores, monthly bills, extracurricular activities, or gym sessions, and assign a color to each. That way, a quick glance at your planner will tell you what your day will look like.
4. Keep it simple if that's what motivates you

President Donald Trump, with (L-R) Vice President Mike Pence, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, speaks during a press conference with Chinas Vice Premier Liu He(not shown), the countrys top trade negotiator, before they sign a trade agreement between the US and China during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC on January 15, 2020.
If Beijing cracks down hard on intellectual property thefts, it would not only boost the U.S. economy but it would also be good for China, according to a former top White House trade official.
Taking steps to protect trade secrets of foreign businesses operating in the world's second-largest economy was part of the "phase one" trade deal that U.S. President Donald Trump signed with China on Wednesday.
"To me, the most significant part of this (deal) was what the U.S. was able to achieve on intellectual property," Clete Willems, a partner at law firm Akin Gump, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday. "Trade secrets theft has been a long-time concern for U.S. businesses, and businesses around the world."
Willems was previously the deputy director of the National Economic Council and served as the lead trade negotiator for the United States at multilateral summits like the G-7 and G-20.
He explained that the trade agreement's provisions to protect intellectual property would make a difference for many of the companies doing business in China. "They're going to have criminal penalties. They're going to have due process for the judicial proceedings. They're going to apply those penalties broader than they did in the past," Willems said, adding there are provisions about pharmaceutical patents and counterfeit goods in the trade pact.
Wednesday's agreement takes steps to root out several practices by Beijing that has irked the White House and members of Congress from both parties, including intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers from U.S. firms in exchange for Chinese market access.
It calls for China to submit an "Action Plan to strengthen intellectual property protection" within 30 days of the agreement taking effect. The proposal would include "measures that China will take to implement its obligations" and "the date by which each measure will go into effect." (Read the full agreement here)
Part of the deal also details a $200 billion increase in Beijing's purchases of U.S. goods over two years as well as commitment from Beijing to allow companies to operate without "any force or pressure" to hand over their technology — that, along with the trade secrets protection provisions, are likely to have ramifications for the U.S. tech sector, where firms want market access in China but are also suspicious over how government officials can access private data stored there.
"If you put it all together, it is going to be a big boost for the U.S. economy. I'll also make the point, this is going for China," Willems said. "This really empowers those in China that want to reform their system, want to make it more market-oriented and help them move down that path."
Ultimately, "better intellectual property protection means more investment in China," he added.
Still, some experts have expressed concerns about how the U.S. would ensure China keeps up with its commitments. Willems said the promise of further reduction in U.S. tariffs in the second phase of the trade agreement would likely be an incentive for Beijing to "faithfully implement this agreement."
Another option for Washington would be to convince allies to work with the U.S. to enforce the agreement in a multilateral system to make it more sustainable and prevent Beijing from backsliding from its commitments, according to Willems.

The port of Hong Kong, once the world's busiest, could get a boost after the phase one trade deal between the U.S. and China is signed, according to the managing director of Modern Terminals. The ambiguity brought on by the trade dispute between China and the U.S. in the last two years has created a lot of uncertainty for businesses, particularly for the port business, said Peter Levesque of Modern Terminals — the second largest container terminal operator in Hong Kong. He added that he hopes both sides can get this initial deal implemented. "It's almost impossible to put a game plan together when the goal post is moving almost daily," Levesque told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "So we hope that through phase one agreement that we'll be able to get a lot more certainty around what the future looks like. We'll be able to plan better and we'll be able to bring more volume back to Hong Kong."
Shanghai overtakes Hong Kong as busiest port
Levesque, who has been a resident of Hong Kong for 25 years, said he witnessed the the territory's handover to China in 1997, as well as China's rapid economic growth. The Port of Hong Kong was the world's busiest container port by volume in 2004, according to the Hong Kong Port and Maritime Board. But it has since been overtaken by others in the region — a worrying trend as the port business is one of the key drivers of Hong Kong's economy. According to the World Shipping Council, Hong Kong Port was the seventh largest in the world in 2018. Four mainland Chinese ports — Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhousan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou — were among the top 5 world container ports by volume in the world that year.
Hopefully both sides can step back … and hopefully we can get there without having any miscommunications and misunderstandings that set us back again. Peter Levesque managing director of Modern Terminals
Hong Kong's port activities are mostly made up of transshipment businesses, and only about 14% to 15% of that business is trans-pacific to the United States, according to Levesque. "There is very little exported from here that is manufactured in Hong Kong. We're taking business, we're moving shipments through China, through Hong Kong to the rest of the world. And then in the opposite direction, through Hong Kong back into China," he said. Hong Kong's economy entered a technical recession in the third quarter of 2019, and contracted by 3.2% quarter-on-quarter in real terms, after declining by 0.5% in the preceding quarter. "When China and the United States aren't agreeing with each other, it actually affects all markets. And that's just something we hope to rebound with the implementation of phase one," Levesque added.
Impact of phase one trade deal
"China agreeing to buy another $200 billion worth of goods and services from the United States, and I think more importantly, addressing the issues around IP (intellectual property) protection and forced technology transfer and opening up markets more for financial industry and the insurance industry — those are major positive steps. And the U.S. side then coming back and lowering tariffs," Levesque said. "Hopefully both sides can step back and take a deep breath and get this phase one into implementation and hopefully we can get there without having any miscommunications and misunderstandings that set us back again," he said.

"What's most important to me is to hear about guidance for the future. What is the outlook for the rest of this year, and in particular, what I want to hear most about is business confidence," she told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Tuesday. "It'll be important to hear from companies confirming that assumption — saying that they do feel better about the outlook given that signing of the 'phase one' trade deal."
The U.S. and China are expected to sign it on Wednesday. According to Hooper, it's a key development that will boost corporate profits even though there's still a lot of work left to do.
"It is not actually a momentous deal. Many of the most important issues haven't been tackled in phase one," she said. "But it is extremely important from a psychological perspective because it does remove a very significant amount of uncertainty and suggests that we won't see any further escalation in the trade war."
Despite the progress, Hooper predicts most companies will only slightly beat or meet estimates during fourth-quarter earnings season, which just started on Tuesday.
"I wouldn't expect blockbuster results," added Hooper.
But with U.S.-China tensions subsiding and an easy Federal Reserve policy, she feels it's enough to keep stocks on firm ground.
Hooper's S&P 500 year-end forecast calls for high single percentage growth. So far this year, the index is up almost 2%.

Pedestrians pass in front of a JPMorgan Chase & Co. bank branch in New York.
Last month, executives at the three banks all cited increased trading results in the final three months of 2019. J.P. Morgan CFO Jennifer Piepszak said trading would be "meaningfully" higher versus a year ago, while Citigroup CFO Make Mason said it would rise by a percentage "in the high teens." Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said markets revenue would be 7% to 8% higher than a year earlier.
The rebound comes from banks' fixed-income trading operations, projected to rise 25% on average, versus a 3% bump in stock trading revenue, KBW analyst Brian Kleinhanzl wrote last month.
J.P. Morgan, Citi and Wells Fargo will release results Tuesday morning, while Goldman Sachs and Bank of America will post on Wednesday, and Morgan Stanley on Thursday.
Bank stocks finished 2019 on a tear, outpacing the broader stock market in the fourth quarter as investors rushed into an under-owned sector. The biggest U.S. banks climbed more than 30% on average last year, exceeding the gain of the Standard & Poor's 500.
But banks may face pressure this year as interest rates stay low or are even slashed further. The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rates for the third time in October, and that pressures net interest income, or the revenue that banks garner from collecting loan payments, minus the interest it pays to depositors.
So it makes sense that analysts and investors are keen to hear management give guidance for 2020, particularly on net interest income and the impact of rates, as well as about expenses and loan growth.
"We expect the 2020 outlooks to garner more attention than actual results," Barclays analyst Jason Goldberg said in a research note this week.
In fact, new guidance is expected from Goldman Sachs as it nears its first-ever investor day this month and CEO David Solomon explains the results of his year-long internal review. And new Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf will address analysts for his first earnings report and may speak about the strategic review he has undertaken.
With that looming over lenders, analysts have been busy cutting their recommendations on big banks whose shares have outperformed last year, including J.P. Morgan, Bank of America and Citigroup. Several analysts upgraded Goldman Sachs on its reasonable valuation, the potential settlement of its 1MDB scandal with the U.S. government and its growth initiatives.
The fourth quarter is typically when banks announce unexpected charges or expenses, Goldberg noted. Banks may also begin grappling with a new accounting rule called credit loss accounting that may result in one-time hits to reserves.

In baseball, high-salaried home run sluggers have always gotten the glory. The equivalent in health-care may be high-priced drugs and medical specialties that help save lives in critical cases. But 20 years ago, there was a big shift baseball. Leveraging data analytics, the Oakland A's found success with undervalued players, who reliably hit singles and doubles to rack up runs. Chronicled in Michael Lewis' "Moneyball," their story ushered in a new era in the game. Health-care may be looking at its own Moneyball moment. From venture-backed start-ups to drug store retailers, there is a big push this year to use technology and data to supercharge the less glamorous side of the industry — physician-centered primary care. "Our sense is the primary care physician or group, being the navigator for the health care system is, is where they're trying to move the models," said Susan DeVore, CEO of Premier, a health care consulting firm. It's not a new concept, by any means. But unlike the old Health Maintenance Organizations, or HMO plans, of the 1990s which made doctors gatekeepers for obtaining coverage, the new primary care services aim to give consumers easier access to their doctors and reward general practioners for keeping patients healthier. "I think there are a lot of things different today than what existed in in the 1990s that would really create an environment that's more conducive for technology-enabled primary care," DeVore said.
Primary care unicorn
One Medical could be the poster child in 2020. The tech-enabled primary care provider filed to go public last week. Its membership plans give patients same-day office visits and 24-hour telehealth access to primary care doctors for $199 a year. Since launching in the Bay Area in 2007, One Medical has paired with physician groups and hospitals in more than nine major metropolitan areas including New York, Seattle and Los Angeles and counts more than 4,000 employers who have offered their workers memberships to the One Medical service. But the competition in both the consumer and employer health markets is ramping up from start-up rivals and large health care incumbents, who are looking to leverage primary care.
Retail giants to expand
CVS Health launched its new Health Hub model in Houston last year, and plans to roll out 1,500 new enhanced in-store clinics over the next 24 months, offer check-ups, testing services, and nutritional and health counseling. While the drugstore giant says it's not trying to compete with primary care physicians, it does aim to engage patients who need care for chronic conditions. "There is a tremendous amount of focus on access — and we certainly agree that Americans should have access to care. I don't think there's nearly enough focus today on outcomes," said CVS Health CEO Larry Merlo, adding "we think that what we're building out can make a meaningful difference in terms of engaging consumers around their health." Walmart, which already operates one of the nation's largest pharmacies, has set its sights on low-cost primary care in its stores. Its Care Clinics now offer doctor visits, lab and x-ray services in Georgia, Texas and South Carolina. The retailer plans to roll more expanded care modeled after its flagship clinic in Dallas, Georgia, which also offers dental and counseling services, as well as fitness with Tivity Health's Silver Sneakers Program. "I think what Walmart is doing is empowering … seniors and the young to have a more holistic approach" to their health, by making access easy, said Dr. Donato Tramuto, Tivity Health CEO. "Primary care needs to be moved to this kind of empowered care, and not just engagement." For retailers, the move is a natural extension of the urgent care services they've built out over the last decade. But the leader of the nation's largest doctor's organization isn't sure retail is the best setting for true primary care. "In our view, case management and care for multiple chronic diseases really requires a consistent source of care from a physician who has the necessary medical training and really knows the patient," said Dr. Patrice Harris, president of the American Medical Association, adding "these clinics can serve to supplement a regular source of care, but they should not be relied upon for all of a patient's primary care needs."
Virtual primary care plans
Some of the newest primary care models won't be relying on physical locations at all. Just like urgent care clinic providers, telehealth services are trying to get into the business of more long-term services with virtual primary care. Doctor on Demand has built out a primary platform called Synapse. It is offering a virtual primary care employer plan with insurer Humana, and has also partnered with Walmart on a new video-based primary care service that the retailer is offering workers in Colorado, Minnesota and Wisconsin. "It's a much higher level of service. You're automatically assigned a virtual PCP that stays with you. And we have a virtual care team that works around (the doctor) — nurses and pharmacists and dietitians and all sorts of non-provider types to work as a team," explained Hill Ferguson, Doctor on Demand CEO. For now, the focus of the virtual providers is on employer plans which have more flexibility on reimbursement contracts, but analysts say health systems are also exploring how to partner on new types of virtual primary services for individual consumers. The premise is that the convenience will appeal to younger workers, who often don't have a relationship with primary care physicians. But a big test for the new plans will be how workers react if they're pushed toward virtual-first treatment. "Many of the larger employers are willing to pilot some new innovations that will improve the health of their employees. I think that's the good of the focus of employers," said Dr. Craig Samitt, Blue Cross Minnesota CEO, but he adds "employees are also seeking to preserve their choice as much as possible," he notes.

On average, a job opening in the U.S. attracts 250 applications, but only four or five candidates from that pool are offered the chance to interview, according to Jobvite's 2019 recruiting benchmark report, which analyzed data from 10 million applications and 50 million job seekers. If you're one of the lucky few who lands an interview, career experts say there's one simple thing you can do to stand out from your fellow candidates. Hand-write a thank you note and mail it. Some hiring managers won't even consider you without one. "Throughout the entire job search process, your main goal should be differentiation, and interviewing is no different," says career strategist Jena Viviano. "So, in this digital age, taking the time to pick out a card, write a thoughtful message, and send it in the mail sets you apart from your competition." Here's how to write a stand-out thank you note that can help you land your next job.
Write personal notes
Do more than offer a generic "thanks for meeting with me." A thank you note is another great opportunity for you to market yourself, and it can provide you with another chance to convey your enthusiasm for the role, says Kori Burkholder, a career transition coach. She suggests including a solution to a problem that was addressed in the interview, "or show off an idea that may have popped into your mind after." If a part of the conversation was memorable, call it out, Viviano advises. "Recall something you and the interviewer talked about that will help them remember you better."
Thank everyone individually
Don't just send one thank you note, says Burkholder. "You should send one to each person you interviewed with and anyone else who may have gone the extra mile for you." That could include a note to the secretary who helped coordinate the interview or your potential new boss's assistant, she says. "Imagine them all being in a meeting after receiving your thank you card. That could spark a conversation about you, which could be a very good thing."

Update: For additional information about railroad worker mesothelioma cancer caused by asbestos, take a look at this article written by a lawyer who has decades of experience handling mesothelioma cancer claims.
The nation's railroads were one of the largest users of asbestos insulating products beginning as early as the 1930s, if not earlier. Every steam locomotive engine had a massive blanket of asbestos wrapping it entirely under its metal train body. On top of this, every pipe and steam line was covered in asbestos insulation because it was so hot inside steam locomotives and also workers needed to feed the steam engine itself. Many types of gaskets were made of asbestos, and even into the 1980s and 1990s diesel railroad engines also included asbestos insulating materials, one of the big cover ups is that the nation's railroads were contending for years that diesel locomotives did not have asbestos.
Lately, the industrial safety experts hired by the railroads realize they cannot say there was no asbestos on diesel locomotives, so the current argument is that there was no asbestos that got airborne, according to their "experts."
Why did the nation's railroads not remove the known asbestos insulation from diesel locomotive engines? Because removing all of the stuff costs money. Many of the railroads knowingly chose to only remove asbestos when other major repairs were being done on the engines, or other railroads simply delayed removal of asbestos from diesel engines. This is despite one of the railroad's prominent medical doctors arguing that all asbestos should be removed from engines and other places by the late 1970s, in a memo to his colleagues that is attached. Already by this time railroads including the Chessie system (which later became CSX), had workers contracted terminal mesothelioma and importantly the workers did not even have extensive asbestos exposure.
In delaying any action to remove asbestos from diesel locomotive engines, the railroads played russian roulette with its own railroad workers knowing that even an invisible amount of tiny asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer or mesothelioma, decades after the minimal exposure to asbestos.
Also, the railroads were knowledgeable by the 1960s and 1970s that railroad workers who smoke cigarettes were especially facing high risks of cancers. Medical researchers learned that for reasons that are not completely understood, workers that are exposed to asbestos, and who also smoke cigarettes, had about 83 fold relative risk increase whereas there was only a 10% relative risk increase in asbestos workers who were not smokers! In other words, the relative risk for smokers of over a packet day compared to non-smoking asbestos workers was a difference of about 73 fold relative risk increase. This is called the synergistic effect of combining asbestos fiber exposure and cigarette smoking and sadly the railroads never notified railroad workers who smoke about this increased relative risk, but let's remember the railroads never told workers about the asbestos being in the engines either.
Also, any asbestos disease process has a latency period. This means that it may be decades after exposure that a railroad worker contracts a lung cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, or other type of cancer such as mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is caused exclusively by exposure to airborne asbestos. The disease affects the lining of the lung and there can be no underlying asbestos related lung disease prior to contraction of these types of cancers either. These types of cancers have been known to affect engineers, brakemen, conductors, switchmen, car repair workers and carman and anyone working around the asbestos exposures on the railroad.

ADS is purpose-built for containers and microservices-based application architectures and elegantly integrates with DevOps processes.
Scale capacity
Defeat cyberattacks
Application Delivery Controller Datasheet
The A10 Lightning Application Delivery Service (ADS) optimizes the delivery and security of cloud-native applications and services running over public or private clouds. For organizations embracing the cloud and application centricity, ADS increases operational efficiency, offloads IT administrators from cumbersome tasks and reduces risk.
The solution provides innovative Layer 4-7 capabilities, including traffic management with contentswitching with advanced elastic load-balancing, security and analytics for applications on public, private and hybrid clouds.

Enhance DevOps processes. ADS is purpose-built for cloud-native applications designed with containers and microservices-based application architectures and elegantly integrates with DevOps processes.
Defeat cyberattacks and meet compliance requirements. Ensure business continuity by defending against advanced and emerging attacks and ensure uninterrupted operations.
IT infrastructure administrators are able to empower application teams with a self-service model that enhances agility while providing per-application visibility and insights. Its multi-cloud capability and either an aggregate consumption-based subscription pricing model or as a self-managed platform with subscription licensing options increases deployment flexibility and lowers cost.
Architecture and Key Components
A10 Lightning ADS is purpose-built to serve not just traditional Web applications but also new-age microservices and container-based applications. The solution delivers optimized cloud application delivery, application performance, security and per-application visibility for cloud native applications.
The solution offers a highly scalable, software-defined distributed architecture with a separation of control and data planes. This allows the A10 Lightning ADC data plane elements to be lightweight and deployed close to, or embedded within, the application environment. Organizations gain centralized control of both the data plane elements and policy management from the centralized controller.
This design provides built-in high-availability and elasticity. The A10 Lightning ADCs are automatically deployed in a cluster with a scale-out architecture that is managed by the controller. With centralized management, all policies may be configured in a central place, irrespective of where the A10 Lightning ADCs are deployed (e.g., different cloud, regions, environments).
The A10 Harmony Controller manages A10 Lightning ADC clusters, client APIs and administrative capabilities. This deployment model helps organizations configure all policies in a central location, regardless of where A10 Lightning ADCs are deployed.
A10 Lightning ADS Components
Harmony Controller provides centralized management, policy configuration, monitoring, control and a big data repository and analytics engine. The controller manages and orchestrates clusters of software-based A10 Lightning ADC instances that implement and enforce policies. The controller is a multi-tenant system that provides role-based access to application admins for self-provisioning of application services. It's a scalable, microservices-based application that is delivered as a SaaS by A10 or can be deployed within an organization's private cloud. With the controller, dynamically add new on-demand A10 Lightning ADCs based on load to eliminate overprovisioning.
Lightning ADC is a compact, efficient full proxy that front-ends cloud applications and microservices to execute Layer 4-7 application delivery policies. A10 Lightning ADCs are typically deployed in the network - where the application servers are running - and communicate with the controller over a secure SSL encrypted messaging infrastructure. A10 Lightning ADC instances are stateless and are managed by the controller. Based on the traffic analytics and policies set by the admin, the controller can auto-scale the A10 Lightning ADCs to serve the application traffic.
Harmony Portal is an easy-to-use, role-based portal for managing application delivery infrastructure and associated policies on a per-application basis. The self-service capability eliminates the need for centralized IT admins to set up and configure the per-application infrastructure, maximizing agility and operational savings to support multiple application teams.
Harmony APIs make all ADS capabilities available via the RESTful interface. Orchestration and configuration APIs may be used to integrate with deployment automation tools like Chef, Puppet and Ansible, as well as continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools like Jenkins. Analytics APIs also provide access to per-application metrics and logs. They may be used to integrate with third-party tools or to help build custom dashboards.
Deployment Options: SaaS and Self Managed
There are two ways to utilize Lightning ADS: SaaS or self managed. In the first option, the A10 Harmony Controller is provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS), hosted and managed by A10 Networks. Organizations may obtain an account for the controller and start utilizing cloud-native application loadbalancing, security and analytics capabilities in just a few minutes.
The self-managed option is offered as a complete platform under the full control of the organization. The Lightning ADS components are provided as a software bundle. This version operates in a similar manner to the SaaS option except the organization deploys and manages the controller in VMs within their on-premise or private cloud. The controller inter-operates with various private cloud orchestration tools.
The controller manages A10 Lightning ADCs that run inside a customer infrastructure in public clouds, private clouds or data centers. The controller is capable of simultaneously supporting instance deployments in multiple clouds for expanded scalability, flexibility and choice.
With the ADS deployment architecture, application traffic flows only via A10 Lightning ADCs (and never through the controller). With this approach, the application traffic remains secure in customer networks. Only control messages, metrics and telemetry data are sent between the controller and A10 Lightning ADCs via a secure SSL-encrypted channel.
This architecture provides two overarching deployment advantages:
Users gain self-provisioning, agility and complete control over application traffic while customizing the configured policies to the specific application.
Organizations significantly reduce the cost of infrastructure, as well as management overhead, that directly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Application Analytics
Leverage advanced load-balancing and server-monitoring capabilities to ensure application availability for customer satisfaction. Seamlessly scale Web and key infrastructure to meet customer demand and ensure business continuity to maximize revenue and exceed service-level agreements.
Layer 4-7 advanced load-balancing with auto-scaling. Extend traditional load-balancing with content-switching and session persistence. Advanced server health checks ensure requests are only forwarded to active servers that are able to respond.
DevOps agility. Leverage APIs that integrate with existing DevOps tool chains and processes, such as blue-green and A/B deployments. IT can generate 'before-after' analytics to increase the efficiency of continuous delivery.
Policy-based traffic management with content-switching allows optimal management of applied policies for how user requests are fulfilled.
Traffic surge protection. Temporarily queue incoming requests on the A10 Lightning ADC during traffic bursts to smooth demands on the server for improved application availability. For longer-term events, elastically scale A10 Lightning ADCs to handle sustained high-traffic levels.
Provide fast and responsive service to your end-users for a competitive advantage. Reduce infrastructure requirements for both application delivery and critical services, driving down CAPEX and OPEX.
HTTP/2: Support new revisions of the HTTP protocol and decrease latency to improve page load speed.
Compression. Condense requested server content to significantly reduce the transmission of superfluous content for faster response times and quicker page downloads.
In-memory caching. Cache content directly on the A10 Lightning ADCs to respond faster to previously retrieved application material. Prevent added delays and remove extra loads from the servers.
Offload-processing for intensive workloads. Move CPU, memory and encryption tasks to the A10 Lightning ADCs for better user experiences. Tasks such as SSL, TCP connection pooling, and rewriting of request/responses for headers and body are best handled by the A10 Lightning ADC.
Protect against advanced and emerging attacks for uninterrupted operations, brand protection and revenue loss - all while meeting regulatory compliance obligations.
Elastic Web application firewall (WAF). Use advanced rule sets to protect against top OWASP vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), plus gain application-specific security rules for popular applications like WordPress, Joomla, Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA), etc.
Defend against attacks. Deploy advanced security to protect against malware, malicious botnets and application-layer DDoS attacks. Monitors traffic parameters to identify and protect your business from application-layer DDoS, botnet attacks and malware. Safe user traffic is permitted while the system identifies and blocks malicious traffic before it can impact app server resources and availability.
Access control. Using any information available in the HTTP request (e.g., IP subnet, country, browser or any custom parameter), access control can be exercised and the user can be either blocked or can be asked to prove the identity.
Ensure your organization has complete visibility and control. Provide data-driven insights and actions improve cloud application performance and health.
Per-application analytics. Use insights and analytics at the application level to help application owners proactively identify issues, troubleshoot faster and quickly build capacity plans.
Comprehensive reporting, visualization and analysis. Gain deeper insights into a specific metric, time range or correlation. The application dashboard gives access to a broad range metrics for application traffic, security, performance and health.
Centralized access logs. Get to the root of any issue - and begin remediation efforts - with application access logs that empower application owners to easily get to the root of any issue.
Alerts. Program the system to raise alerts in various conditions or a combination of conditions. Alerts are delivered via email for manual action and/or to a webhook URL for automation.

This is a special day, or better to say the third special day when the Renaissance New York Hotel 57 is celebrating the event in more than 150 of its properties all over the world. The aim of the even is to promote culture, music and art through the visitors of the show. Moreover, this time the hotel decided to put the fashion stamp on the event by inviting iconic designer — Elie Tahari!
Not much time passed since I got to know about Elie Tahari's invitation to Fashion Group International's Night of Stars ceremony this October where he is not only a guest but a prize holder as well, as there is another great even that can't come without the Israeli designer. Fashionistas will be happy to see Elie Tahari trunk show in celebrating his brand's 40th anniversary. Frankly speaking, partnership with Elie Tahari during this event excellently reflects hotel's mantra that sounds proudly — live life to discover! And he knows a good deal of discovering as the greater part of his life Elie Tahari devoted to discovering women's desires and preferences in fashion to create what they would love to wear. Good job, Elie Tahari!
Elie Tahari is an iconic Israeli-American designer, who managed to raise huge capical and create personal style with a couple of dollars in the pocket. He can boast 40 years of successful Elie Tahari brand history with a 40th anniversary celebration as one of the most bright events. But now there is time for just another celebration — a prize for brand vision.
This October is a special month for Diane von Furstenberg, the hero of the occasion and the famous American fashion designer. She started her careen earlier than Elie Tahari, in the `70s and the demand for her clothing has never decreased. Diane is 67 now and she deserved to be praised with a special prize and to be called a superstar by the Fashion Group International during their Night of Stars event.
Coming back to Elie Tahari, among others he's going to be a special guest there and to get the prize specifically meant for him – it is called a prize 'for brand vision'. Let me put the things right – the envision, since there's hardly anything else but for Elie Tahari's special talent to foresee tendencies in fashion beforehand. Congratulations, Mr. Tahari, this is a decent award to honor his talents.

Whether you've heard of it before or not, you're using the concept of "register" in your writing.
Register is the level of formality of a piece of writing: It's something slightly separate from what we might call tone or style.
You could see it as a sliding scale, from very formal language (e.g. a legal document) down to very informal language (e.g. a text message to a friend).
The first is in a formal register, with words like "impersonate"; the second is informal, with phrases like "we're nice like that". Note that both pieces of text have a similar context — they're each instructing users what they can and cannot do — but they're written very differently.
There's no "right" or "wrong" register — just the right (or wrong!) one for whatever you're currently writing.
By being aware of register, and of how your choices of words, phrases and sentence structures tie in with register, you can adjust your writing as needed.
The wrong level of formality is jarring for the reader, and may undermine their confidence in your ability to provide what they need.
Imagine, for instance, researching lawyers in your area. You find a website that's written in very informal, chatty language with lots of swearing. It might potentially be a refreshing change and encourage you to hire the person…but chances are, it'll put you off! You're expecting a certain level of formality there.
On the other hand, imagine that you're posting on Facebook to encourage other writers in your local area to meet up for coffee. If your post is very formally worded, it may sound intimidating or off-putting.
How might you adjust your register for different types of writing?
Blog posts: Most blog readers are used to an informal, friendly, conversational style when they're reading — though if you run a corporate blog, it may be appropriate to make it slightly more formal.
Copy for a client's website: This could be at almost any level of formality. Look at other websites in their industry, and think about their own corporate style. Some companies are known for being unusually informal and this can work well, but only if it's what your client wants!
Formal or legal agreements: These will almost certainly be written in formal language (though there's no reason that can't be in plain, straightforward English). You may want to use standard templates for these. Invoices could fall into this category.
As a writing exercise, it can be interesting to rework a piece at a different level of formality. For instance, you might draft quite formal copy for a client's website or blog — but also present them with an example of how it could be more chatty.
What exactly does formal writing involve?
When you're writing in a formal register, you'll need to stick fairly rigidly to grammatical rules — for instance, it wouldn't normally be appropriate to have extremely short paragraphs, or to begin a sentence with "And" or "But".
In a more informal piece of writing, like a blog post or email, short paragraphs and sentences beginning with conjunctions can work very well to keep up the pace and hold the reader's interest. You should still avoid embarrassing grammatical mistakes, though: remember, your writing needs to be clear and easy to read.
Online, you can find plenty of lists of formal versus informal words. I'd use these with a little bit of caution: Don't feel that you have to constantly second-guess your word choices, and do be careful not to use big words for the sake of it.
As I mentioned at the start, you're probably using register without even thinking about it. From childhood, you'll have adjusted the register of your spoken language to different situations (compare talking with your friends to talking to a teacher, for instance) – and you're probably adept at shifting between different registers in your writing, too.
Being aware of register, though, can help you become more aware of the word choices you make – and more able to tweak and adjust as appropriate.
As you read different things today – perhaps blog posts, emails from big companies, emails from friends, newspaper articles, text messages – think about the register of each, and how appropriate (or not!) it is for the context.
That piece did register very well. It is a wake-up call as I'm 'preachy' on social issues. Thank you.
Thank you for this article. It is interesting to read and really useful I think not just for me. I've learned many new things.

Q: "I feel myself unhappy" vs "I feel unhappy"
I feel myself unhappy.

The above sentence strikes me as somewhat peculiar.
What is the difference between "I feel myself unhappy" and "I feel unhappy"?

A: The wording "I feel unhappy" is commonplace in English today. "I feel myself unhappy" is, by contrast, rare and sounds odd to many native English speakers. This was not always the case, however. In the late 1700s, "I feel myself unhappy" had considerable support in published English, and "I feel unhappy" was not readily to be found.

'I feel myself unhappy' in the late 1700s
Several occurrences of "I feel myself unhappy" from the 1770s and 1780s involve luminaries of the American Revolution and subsequent American Republic.
From a letter by Abigail Adams to John Adams dated October 21, 1775, in The Quotable Abigail Adams (2009):

Expectation has so long and so often been combatted by dissappointment that I feel myself unhappy, my Spirits which were naturally cheerfull are depressed and the enjoyments of life are growing very insipid to me.

From a letter by George Washington to Governor Jonathan Trumbull (May 23, 1777), in The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources 1745–1799, volume 8 (1933):

All the [military] Stores are coming to Springfield, where they will be deposited in the Public Magazine, except such as will be immediately wanted for the Army, and I feel myself extremely unhappy, in not having it in my power to consent, that a part should be appropriated as you request.

From a letter from Abigail Adams to James Warren (ca. June 7, 1778) in Adams Family Correspondence, volume 1 (1963):

Tis now four months since the Boston saild in all which time we have never heard a word from our Friend's. Our Enemies tell us that She is taken and carried into Plimouth. I know not what to think, but I feel myself unhappy and the more so I think for hearing a day or two ago, that a French vessell had arrived at Portsmouth with News that the Boston was safe arrived in France but it proves that tho she left France near 8 weeks after the Boston saild from here that She heard nothing of her.

From a letter by Colonel Van Schaick to New York governor George Clinton (May 27, 1780), reprinted in Documents of the Senate of the State of New York, volume 9 (1901):

Sir; I am favoured with your Excellency's letter of yesterday. I feel myself unhappy that I have not been able to pursue the Enemy previous to the receipt of your letter. I expected when I left Albany to have been able to Collect a Considerable force at this place, but on my Arrival, which was on Wednesday the 24th, I could not muster more than One Hundred & Eighty men; Thursday 250, & on Friday 500; while I was Stimulating the militia to Join me, I received repeated accounts that Sir John continued his Camp at a Settlement called Mayfield; my Scouts which I kept constantly out returned on Thursday & brought me an account that Sir John had decamped from Mayfield, on Tuesday, ...

From a letter by George Washington to Meshech Weare (August 21, 1781) in Collections of the New-Hampshire Historical Society, volume 2 (1827):

Sir, — I feel myself unhappy in being obliged to inform you that the circumstances in which I find myself at this late period, have induced me to make an alteration of the main object which was at first adopted, and has hitherto been held in view, for the operation of this campaign.

From a letter by Governor George Clinton of New York to Nathaniel Gorham, President of the Congress of the Confederation (August 16, 1786), in Journals of Congress, 1786 (1823):

A copy of their [the New York legislature's] act passed on the occasion, I have had the honour of laying before Congress through the delegates of this state, and your excellency [Gorham] will readily perceive it is not my province to determine how far it conforms to the recommendation in question. I cannot conclude without adding, that I feel myself unhappy to be formally called on by Congress, in an instance in which I cannot yield a compliance without breaking through one of those checks which the wisdom of our constitution has provided against the abuse of office, and which, I am persuaded, Congress will approve the sentiment, when I declare, I find myself bound, as well by inclination as by duty, to preserve.

And from remarks by Representative Michael Stone of Maryland in the House of Representatives on September 3, 1789, reprinted in The Debates and Proceedings of the Congress of the United States, volume 1 (1834):

The main question being now before the committee,
Mr. STONE proceeded. I feel myself unhappy to be obliged to address gentlemen, who are not disposed to attend to any thing I may say; but as gentlemen have chosen this time for discussing the subject, they will no think it improper in me to persist in detailing my ideas.

'I feel myself unhappy' in Great Britain
Lest it appear that "I feel myself unhappy" was exclusively a colonial barbarism, I note a couple of early instances from the British Isles. From Irish playwright Arthur Murphy, All in the Wrong (1761) in The British Drama, parts 1–2 (1804):

Belinda {Without looking at him [Beverley].} You have kept me on the rack this whole day, and can you wonder that I feel myself unhappy?

And from a letter by London pastor Andrew Fuller to the church at Kettering (received October 21, 1781) in The Work of Faith, the Labour of Love, and the Patience of Hope Illustrated in the Life and Death of the Reverend Andrew Fuller, Late Pastor of the Baptist Church at Kettering (1816):

I am at this time a compound of feelings. I feel, dear brethren, I feel painfully for you. I am distressed that a church whose troubles were many before, should have them increased through me. I feel myself unhappy lest my worthy brethren and fathers in the ministry should think themselves slighted, of which there is nothing that I am less conscious: and should they on this account slight me it will very much grieve me, but that I cannot help it.

The phrasing is also used, somewhat later, in Thomas Carlyle, Wotton Reinfred (written 1826–1827), published in The Last Words of Thomas Carlyle (1892):

Jaspar was not with us but in England at a boarding-school; one grave old woman was our only servant. Yet this solitude was not lonesome to me, nor with all my little griefs did I feel myself unhappy. What wealth is in childhood, how that morning sun makes a very desert beautiful! One has yet no consciousness of self, one is a thought, an action, not a thinker or an actor.

Early instances of 'I feel unhappy'
A Google Books search for "I feel unhappy" returns matches beginning at the very end of the 1700s. From Isaac D'Israeli, The Lovers, or the Origin of the Fine Arts (1799):

It is in winter I feel unhappy: the cave our fathers hewed is so round, or so square, one sees the termination of every thing; nothing is left to the imagination. It is not thus in Nature; she never imprisons the eye; all her lines are waved, and varied, and enchanted.

From Margaret Cullen, Home: A Novel, volume 1 (1802) [combined snippets]:

"You have no occasion to request ; you have only to state the facts I shall mention to you, and your father himself will see the propriety of complying with your brother's desire. You can have no objection to this.——Why are you silent, Constantia?"
"Because I feel unhappy at the idea of speaking to my father on such a subject."

From Regina Roche, The Discarded Son; Or, Haunt of the Banditti: A Tale, volume 1 (1807):

But that calmness and cheerfulness which his arguments with himself sometimes failed of producing, the consideration of his children's now smiling prospects, in a moment restored him to ; and 'how can I feel unhappy?' was a question he still asked himself whenever they recurred to his recollection, 'how complain of the unkindness of fortune, when in their assured happiness I behold my fondest wishes accomplished?'.

All three of these authors are from the British Isles—D'Israeli from England, Roche from Ireland, and Cullen from Scotland.

Conclusions
My research doesn't establish that "I feel myself unhappy" antedates "I feel unhappy," but it does strongly suggest that in the late 1700s and early 1800s English speakers—especially in America— did not consider "I feel myself unhappy" to be improper, redundant, or peculiar.
Today, as the question by user79773 and the answers by Harrison and SteveRacer indicate, the vastly more common wording is "I feel unhappy"—and the wording "I feel myself unhappy" seems awkwardly overstated. Indeed, if we may judge by Google Books search, "I feel myself unhappy" has been out of use in newly published writing for at least a century. But historically both wordings have appeared in English, and the meaning of the two phrases is virtually indistinguishable.

A: I'm not even sure the first is a proper construct.  "I feel myself unhappily" would be valid, albeit probably changing the meaning.
"myself unhappy" is not a proper prepositional phrase, and the verb feel now has two noun (pronoun and noun) objects trying to occupy the same space.
I'd rather see "I feel myself to be unhappy."  Even though a bit clunky, it stays within the rules.  "... myself unhappy" ventures into the realm of "house needs painted" past participle crimes.
Your mil(e)age may very vary...

A: 'I feel myself unhappy' is redundant. Its like saying 'I myself feel as unhappy.' Don't bother wasting the key strokes on the page. Just say that you are unhappy, though I would recommend a more descriptive word than unhappy. Be morose or disgruntled rather than unhappy.

Horse feed can come in many forms and can differ based off the age, weight, and even exercise level of your equine companion. Sweet feed, pelleted feed, bran feed, and oat feed are some of the more common feeds used as horse food.
Make sure that your horse is getting the proper nutrition it needs by ensuring it eats correctly. Horses and ponies are grazing animals that need to be fed forage feed to keep their digestive systems functioning properly.
A horse or pony will need to consume about two percent of their body weight in feed each day. This will depend on their activity level and their age. At least half of the horse's feed should be forage feed.
For optimal health, a horse would need to eat all forage feed. Owners can do some research on feed ingredients to find the feed with the higher quality ingredients for your horse.
For older horses, or horses with lower activity levels, it is necessary to keep them on a diet of forage feed alone. For horses which consume just grass, they will still need to get forage feed additionally during the colder months of the year. For breeding horses and working horses extra forage food will probably be needed.
It is important to remember that a horse or pony that has exercise and then rest days will need less food during the rest to prevent Azoturia. All changes in feed should be avoided at this time.
Feed time is also an important factor in the horse or pony's health. There should be a regular feeding time. Time should be given after exercise before the horse is fed.
Hard exercise on a full stomach can cause stain on the heart and also breathing problems. The horse or pony shouldn't exercise and then be fed. Wait a few hours first.
Finally, water should be available at all times. In addition to the basic food, horse owners may wish to add salt, seaweed or bran as supplements. Other horse treats used by some owners are fruit, maize or cod liver oil. Following these feeding techniques will help to keep a horse healthy.

Q: Search in ruby by many fields I need to search form multiple fields in my app, using textfield and combo-box. I have Items that belongs to genre, location, user and affectation. This is what I did.
Item.rb
def self.search(query)
where("cod ilike :q or den_cont ilike :q or marca ilike :q", q: "%#{query}%")
end

Item.controller
@items = Item.joins("LEFT JOIN calibrations on items.id = calibrations.item_id")
.select(" items.id, items.codigo, items.numero, items.den_cont, items.marca,     items.modelo, items.nro_serie, items.genre_id, items.state_id, items.affectation_id,    items.sector_id, items.person_id, MAX(calibrations.date_expired) as date_expired,   items.observaciones")
.group("items.id")
.order("items.codigo, items.numero").search(params[:search])
else
...
end

Index.html
<%= form_tag(items_path, :method => "get", id: "search-form") do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], placeholder: "Buscar Items" %>
<%= submit_tag "Buscar", :name => nil %>
<% end %>

As you can see I can search for codigo, den_cont and marca in the same texfield. I need seach for multiples fields, but in deferents text-box and in the case of genre, state..i need a combo-box to select the value and then search. Can you gave me some example or help on this. What about using a gem for this. (searchkick fot example). Tks!


Another geofencing post! Imagine that!
Well, it's broken and has been for a while, but just not bothering to post since it seems this is a problem NetGear doesn't care about, but here we go..
Geofencing oringally was working okay, but of course now all phones show 'unavailalbe' with the exception of one Pixel 2 that it sometimes sees as a 'out of zone', but since starting to troubleshoot it just now it's gone 'unavailalbe' like the rest. It was never in zone anyways even when it's in the freaking house.
I really do not understand why this is so hard to fix, especially seeing as this problem has been going on for years at this point. Yes, I've tired every stupid thing support has suggested elsewhere, none of it works. At this point, unless someone for NG support steps up, this will be the last set of arlo devices we get, and will post reviews on Amazon and elsewhere about this issue - Basically if you want to use geofencing look elsewhere as Arlo's is a lie for a lot of folks.
Re: All phones "Unavailalble" in geofencing mode.


A year ago, on September 28, an 11-year-old girl in Jharkhand's Simdega district reportedly died of starvation, months after her family's ration card was cancelled because it was not linked to their Aadhaar number. With no school mid-day meals available during her Durga Puja holidays, Santoshi Kumari had gone with barely any food for nearly eight days before she died.
Exactly a year ago, 11-year-old Santoshi Kumari of Simdega died of starvation while asking her mother for rice. Her family's ration card was cancelled for not being linked to Aadhaar. In the last one year, at least 15 people have died due to hunger. Of these, 6 were Adivasis, 4 Dalits, and 5 of backward castes. All these deaths happened due to the denial of security pensions or rations from the Public Distribution System (PDS).
All elderly, widow, and disabled persons in the state should be given social security pension of at least Rs. 2000 per month on time.
Jharkhand's MGNREGA wage rate should be increased to at least the state's minimum wage.

US Capitol rioters given 'white privilege' treatment as soft police tactics slammed
Video LoadingVideo UnavailableClick to playTap to playThe video will auto-play soon8CancelPlay now
As hundreds of white supporters of Donald Trump ran riot through America's seat of power, Twitter users asked: "What if these were Black Lives Matter protesters?"
Washington's Capitol police are facing heavy criticism for being unprepared and failing to stop the violent invasion by hundreds of white men and women, just months after peaceful BLM protesters were intimidated by soldiers and tear gassed.
The force has been accused of being intentionally soft on the white crowd.
Photos reveal the stark contrast between the law enforcement reaction to Wednesday's insurrection and the suppression of non-violent demonstrations after the police death of George Floyd.
It was a menacing scene on June 1 when heavily-armed National Guard members – armed, helmeted and wearing camouflage, stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, overlooking peaceful protesters, in an intimidating show of force not far from Capitol Hill.

A day earlier, peaceful demonstrators were dispersed with tear gas, flash grenades and rubber bullets as US Park Police and National Guard troops forced them to leave a plaza so Trump could walk from the White House to a church for an unannounced photo op that angered church leaders.
It came after Trump declared himself the "president of law and order" and demanded that state governors send in the National Guard to "dominate the streets" amid violent and peaceful unrest following Floyd's death.
The next day in Washington, 88 people were arrested during protests against police brutality as demonstrators once again faced tear gas.
More than 5,000 police officers, National Guard troops and federal agents were deployed in June.

In many cities after Floyd was killed by police, police used tear gas, rubber bullets, violence and arrests to suppress peaceful demonstrations.
There were cases where protesters were the aggressors, and there were riots and looting in some places.
Fast forward to Wednesday, when the disgraced and outgoing president refused to deploy the National Guard as white pro-Trump terrorists, far outnumbering the police, pushed past barricades, smashed windows and were free to rampage through the Capitol building during one of America's darkest days.
After Trump resisted, the approval to send in the National Guard came from Vice President Mike Pence well after the fact.
A federal law enforcement official told CNN that National Guard did not anticipate being used to protect federal facilities during Wednesday's demonstation by Trump supporters, including white supremacists and far-right extremists.
The source said the Trump administration had decided earlier this week that job would fall to civilian law enforcement.

One – a Trump fanatic – was shot dead by police, and three suffered medical emergencies.
Armed police managed to arrest some of the mob inside the Capitol building. Pepper spray and tear gas were used against some of the mob.

Bakari Sellers, a lawyer and former Democratic state representative in South Carolina, shared a photo of an insurrectionist stealing House Speaker NancyPelosi's lecturn, writing: "George Floyd was murdered for less."
The author and scholar Ibram X Kendi tweeted: "White privilege is on display like never before in the US Capitol."
Shannon Sharpe, a former American football player, wrote: "Peaceful protestors got pepper sprayed so Trump could hold a Bible up for a photo in front of a church."
The Black Lives Matter Global Network described the riots as a "coup" and said it was "one more example of the hypocrisy in our country's law enforcement response to protest".

Riot police tear-gassed peaceful BLM protesters in Washington on June
The group wrote in a statement: "When Black people protest for our lives, we are all too often met by National Guard troops or police equipped with assault rifles, shields, tear gas and battle helmets.
"Make no mistake, if the protesters were Black, we would have been tear gassed, battered, and perhaps shot."
Charles Ramsey, a law enforcement analyst, told CNN on Thursday: "Yesterday should never have happened. (The police) were totally unprepared to deal with the crowds."
He added: "There's no excuse for it. They should have had enough people on the Capitol grounds."
Referring to earlier demonstrations by Black Lives Matter activists, he said: "You saw images of police officers on the steps of the Capitol… you didn't see any of that yesterday.
"The intel was there. These right-wing groups made it very clear that they were going to be there."

Miyoshi myopathy (MM) is an autosomal-recessive muscle disorder caused by mutations in the DYSF gene. Clinical features and histopathological changes in dysferlinopathies may mimic inflammatory myopathies and a high degree of clinical suspicion is required to guide the genetic investigation. Case Report: We report the case of a 16-year-old male who presented with severe bilateral calf pain and elevated CK levels (15 000 IU/l) who was on prolonged steroid therapy prompted by the clinical suspicion of inflammatory myopathy. Three years into his illness, he was referred for neuromuscular evaluation presenting with untreatable muscle pain and progressive weakness. The diagnosis of "refractory polymyositis" was revisited. Targeted exome sequencing revealed homozygous pathogenic mutations in the DYSF gene, confirming a diagnosis of Miyoshi myopathy. Our case illustrates that severe muscle pain may be the initial feature of Miyoshi myopathy and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory myopathies. Although the described patient reported partial clinical improvement in muscle pain, steroid treatment is not an effective therapy for dysferlinopathy patients and it did not prevent disease progression. In addition, we confirm the utility of next-generation sequencing approaches to myopathies, particularly in complex or unusual cases when muscle biopsy is not available.
