There are many important things to consider about your spouse before you get married. I think that many people get married primarily based on love and things they have in common. These things are very important, but other factors have to be considered also. I was married for 10 years and gained plenty of experience from it. There was so much that I did not consider. I think the divorce rate in the United States is high because important things are not discovered until after the marriage.
Traditional marriage vows include taking care of your spouse through sickness. I think most people assume their spouse will be in good health until their elderly years. This may not always be the case, especially if a family history exist for certain diseases at an earlier than normal age. It is important to know as much as possible about the medical history of your spouse. Make sure to have them take a full medical physical prior to marriage. Their medical history could also affect your decision on having children. This could also help them find out things they didn't know about themselves.
This relates directly to health and medical history. Eating right and exercise gives you a better chance at good health and helps maintain a desirable weight. This may seem irrelevant if you are younger, but our bodies change as we age. If you are a person that values diet and exercise, it is critical to marry a person that feels the same. After marriage, you may not be able to change them into your way of thinking. If you are fit and looking good at age 45 and the other person is not, this could cause problems.
Good credit is very important in a marriage. It can affect home, car, and other major purchases. If you have bad credit, your quality of life may not be very good. Most people can't afford to make all cash purchases so credit will be needed at some point. This can add stress to your relationship. Never marry a person without checking their credit report. A credit report tells you much more than just a number. It also points out stability, decision making, and responsibility. Once you are married, their debt becomes your debt.
If you believe strongly in a certain religion, it is important that your spouse feel the same because more than likely you won't be able to change their beliefs. This can cause major problems especially if you have children.
It is important to know if your spouse wants kids, how many, and when. This is important for financial reasons and for your individual career goals. Other factors like college and parenting styles also have to be discussed.

Here you find a number of useful programs for analyzing TF binding specificity under the dinucleotide weight tensor (DWT) model. Under the DWT model, unlike the classical position specific weight matrix (PSWM) model, we allow positional dependency between any pairs of positions and use this information for describing the binding specificity of a TF. Within this toolbox, we implemented several functionalities that are useful for analyzing TF binding under the DWT model. Moreover, a website has been implemented that offers similar functionalities. Here is the address of our website: [http://dwt.unibas.ch/fcgi/dwt](http://dwt.unibas.ch/fcgi/dwt).

In this bundle, we tried to describe the usage of these tools in detail. Therefore, users are recommended to consult with the `manual.txt` file. Moreover, the content of `Examples` directory includes several sub-directory that each of them demonstrate the usage of each tool separately.

More specifically, users can find the following functionalities:

* DWT model: Using this feature of the toolbox, users can identify TF binding sites (TFBSs). It is a C++ implementation of the DWT model, which scans DNA sequences for identifying TFBSs under the DWT model. This code comes with a useful Python wrapper script that can be used for running the C++ code and calculating the posterior probability of the TF binding.
* Posterior of positional dependency: For calculating the probability of positional dependency between any pairs of positions, we have implemented a C++ program. Given a set of binding sites, this program can give an indea about which pairs of positions are highly dependent.
* diLogo: A Python script for generating 'diLogo' which is a a graphical representation of the positional dependency model. DiLogo is the cousin of the well-known sequence logo, which includes information on positional dependency and the di-nucleotide tendency at the dependent positions. This script receives, as input, a DWT flat file and posteriors of positional dependency between all pairs of positions.
* Fitting a DWT model: Sometimes we would like to fit a DWT model to a set of observed TF binding DNA sequences. For example, peaks that are extracted from a ChIP-seq assay. This Python implementation can be used for this purpose. To run the script, users need a set of DNA sequences (FASTA format) and an initial PSWM model. The latter can be extracted from known PSWM databases, such as [JASPAR](http://jaspar.genereg.net/) or [SwissRegulon](http://swissregulon.unibas.ch/fcgi/sr/swissregulon).

For compiling the C++ codes, we created `Makefile` under `Source` directory. In Linux and Mac, it's fairly easy: just run  `make all` command while in the `Source` directory and the binaries for the programs will be created. Here, we have explicitly assumed that the `g++` is already installed in the machine. For more information about `g++` see [here](https://gcc.gnu.org/).

For implementing the C++ codes, we made use of several functions from the [Boost library](http://www.boost.org/). We
put a compatible version of the Boost directory in the `Source` directory, which needs to be first uncompressed. This is easily
done by executing the following command in `Source` directory:

```
tar -xvf boost_1_41_0.tar.gz
```

## Dependencies for the diLogo.py
In order to run the diLogo script, it is required to have Python 2.7 already installed. In addition to that, the script uses
`pyx` and `argparse` libraries. For installing these libraries, we use `pip` as it's demonstrated bellow:

```
pip install pyx==0.12.1
pip install argparse
```

For more information see `manual.txt`.

Note that the compatible version of the `pyx` library for Python 2.7 is 0.12.1. Hence, in above command we explicitly specifically
the required version of `pyx`.

Reality of Imperialism And the Future of Socialism
(Paper presented by Prakash Karat, Member of the Polit Bureau, CPI(M) At the International Workshop On the Future of Socialism in the 21st Century,Havana, 21 to 23 October, 1997
The disintegration of the Soviet Union, the product of the world's first socialist revolution, gave rise to a renewed and sustained bout of "Marxism is dead" propaganda. A corollary to such an offensive is the reaction that Marxism has to be revised in such a manner that it ceases to be Marxist. Both these trends are neither new nor original. In different periods of history, in the course of the ebb and tide of the class struggle, such ideas have arisen with varying degrees of effect and durability.
But the speculation about the future of Marxism in the current period, in the last decade of the twentieth century, is the most serious which the working class movement has faced so far. The reasons are obvious enough. Seventy four years after the October revolution, the State that Lenin and the Bolsheviks founded was dismantled. Alongwith the collapse of existing socialism in Eastern Europe, it changed the world balance of forces for the present, in favour of imperialism and world capitalism.
From such a dramatic event, stems the confidence of the bourgeois ideologues that Marxism as a viable worldview and scientific theory stands discredited and rendered obsolete. Marxism as the exposition of scientific socialism predates the October revolution; and it will continue to be a revolutionary theory and guide to action after the demise of the Soviet Union. The existence or disappearance of the Soviet Union does not invalidate Marxism. The struggle for scientific socialism, which is the basic tenet of Marxism, remains the only alternative to capitalism in the twentyfirst century. Class struggle as the motive force for history retains it universal relevance. Capitalism today and in future too can be understood only by the analysis based on Marxism, Scientific socialism based on historical materialism provides the revolutionary framework for supplanting capitalism with a superior and exploitation free society.
Contemporary capitalism is still imperialism. Notwithstanding the sustained ideological efforts to discard imperialism as a category and as a definition of world capitalism, imperialism is the adversary in the worldwide class struggle. The setbacks to the socialist system have altered the balance of forces in favour of imperialism but this does not negate the existence of the class struggle.
The scientific and technological revolution has enabled the advanced capitalist countries to revolutionise the means of production resulting in the sharply increased exploitation of the workers and greater concentration of wealth in the hands of the upper strata. This coupled with the rapacious exploitation of the lesser developed capitalist countries constitute the vital economic sinews of imperialism.
At the ideological and cultural level, the hegemony of the bourgeois classes remains intact with the harnessing of the powerful mass media created by the technological revolution to globally purvey its ideas. It is this dominance of the economic, technological and cultural spheres by capitalism which provides it with the aura of invincibility.
Marxism is the only scientific method to cut through to the kernel of the predatory and exploitative nature of world capitalism and to have a methodology which updates the comprehension of the transformations wrought in the world capitalist system in the last two quarters of the twentieth century.
Imperialism is not about to disappear in the 21st century. The theoretical advance made by Marxist-Leninist analysis of the growth of monopoly capitalism resulting in the rise of modern imperialism has to be carried forward to take stock of the new developments in the last two decades of the 20th century. An important phenomenon is the highly mobile international finance capital which shifts from one part of the world to the other in search of quick profits. This international flow of capital is a major factor for the intensified exploitation of the third world and also the high rates of unemployment prevailing in the advanced capitalist countries. The harmful consequences of speculative financial flows are being witnessed currently in the currency crisis which has gripped the South-East countries which are held up as a "model" for the third world to follow.
In the absence of a countervailing socialist bloc, imperialism is on the offensive to "roll back" the limited economic sovereignty of the third world. The IMF, World Bank and WTO being the trinity which holds the lesser developed countries to ransom to impose the policies of neo-liberalisation.
A hallmark of capitalism in the late 20th century is that it has gone back on the welfare capitalism which it touted as a humane system which led to the theories of convergence between capitalism and socialism. Neither is the capitalism of the contemporary era able to eliminate high unemployment rates leave alone provide full employment.
It is this twin attack of dismantling the welfare system and inflicting high unemployment which is meeting with resistance and the intensification of the class struggle.
One of the main factors discrediting Marxism-Leninism is supposed to be the irrelevance of class struggle and the central role of the working class. The argument is that under the rubric of globalisation, the internationalisation of capital and the growing might of the TNCs, the structural changes under capitalism have marginalised the working class and made class struggles ineffective within a nation-state. This myth found increasing adherence after the setbacks to socialism.
The recent period has provided enough evidence to challenge these false premises fostered in the name of globalisation. The strike struggles of the French workers in the winter of 1995 and the 1996 general strike of the South Korean workers have graphically illustrated the existence and vitality of class struggle and punctured the myths built up about the nature of late 20th century capitalism.
For those who doubt the capability of the working class and the relevance of class struggle against capitalism, the recent spate of working class struggles in Europe, Latin America and Asia should be an adequate warning. These struggles, though of a defensive nature are the centre-piece of the emerging worldwide resistance to the new offensive of capitalism. No other class or intermediate strata have shown even remotely the same capacity. The political impact of these struggles are already being felt in some of the countries of Europe and Latin America. In India, one of the biggest "emerging markets" targetted by the IMF and the World Bank, there were four one day general strikes by the Indian working class between 1991 and 1995 which drew in sections of the peasantry and other working people.
RENOVATING SOCIALISM
The first socialist revolution took place in an underdeveloped capitalist country where semi-feudal relations still prevailed. Lenin had viewed 1917 as a precursor to the German revolution and the world revolution. The German and Hungarian revolutions of the 1918-19 period and other revolutionary upheavals were crushed by the bourgeoisie. "Socialism in one country" was a necessity not the preferred choice. The travails of building socialism encircled by imperialism, the double burden of eliminating pre-capitalist backwardness and catching up with the productive levels of Western capitalism was a heroic endeavour. The socialist potential was vividly manifested in the all-round rapid development of the productive forces, the welfare benefits for all citizens unparalleled in history and the stupendous struggle to defeat fascism. The defects were the birthmarks and part of the heritage of the conditions in which the first socialist state was born.
Looking back we can see that the historic achievements of the Soviet Union in the early decades in the face of enormous difficulties had blurred the reality that the transition to socialism is a protracted and complex process.
Lenin had warned at the outset itself: "We have only just taken the first steps towards shaking off capitalism altogether and beginning the transition to socialism. We do not know and we cannot know how many stages of transition to socialism there will be". (Coll. Works, Vol 27 page 31)
Further Lenin had stated, "The more backward the country, which, owing to the zigzags of history has proved to be the one to start the socialist revolution, the more is it difficult for that country to pass from its old capitalist relations to socialist relations". (Vol 27 page 89)
It must be recognised that a weakness of Marxist theory has been the underdevelopment of the creative thought in study of existing socialism and the development of a new society as compared to its strong and comprehensive analysis of the capitalist system.
Without going into a detailed enquiry into the causes for the dismantling of the Soviet Union, the lessons from it have to be grasped so that a coherent Marxist Leninist understanding provides the groundwork for future progress.
To enrich Marxist-Leninist theory and practice some of the salient features which require critical study must be mentioned: (1) Socialist democracy: the institutionalisation of democratic forums and participation of people in the political process and economic management; (2) need for a correct relationship between the State and the Party in a socialist society; (3) flexibility in the management of the economy and multiplicity of the forms of ownership of property at different stages.
To build socialism in a world where capitalism retains dominant or substantial strength, requires a theoretical perspective which recognises the paramount lesson that the transition to socialism and the building of socialism, particularly in lesser developed capitalist countries is a more protracted and complex process than it was envisaged under the impact of the October Revolution. The substantial and historic achievements of socialism in the Soviet Union should be drawn upon to develop the theoretical basis for seeing the entire period of achieving socialist revolution and building socialism as a diverse process where there can be no one model.
Socialism will be built in a country in a context where capitalist relations and influences will continue to prevail for a long period of time both internationally and domestically. In such a situation the difficult task of building an alternative model of socialist development will require constant raising and rejuvenation of political consciousness by the active participation of the people at all stages of political and economic development. It is here that the vital importance of socialist democracy is located. The sobering and hard lesson for the future is that the absence of democracy in any socialist experiment, the failure to expand and develop the potential of democracy will deform and distort socialism.
The Leninist conception of a party which has been the instrument for revolutionary seizure of power and consolidation of the new State has to be developed in such a manner that the correct relationship between the State and the party is established in a socialist society. This requires ending the misuse of democratic centralism which is a party principle being extended to State functioning. It demands the institutionalisation of democratic forums in society which are not the sole preserve of the ruling party and the need for pluralism within the socialist framework.
Above all, the paramount lesson is that the transition to socialism and the building of socialism, particularly in lesser developed capitalist countries, is a more protracted and complex process than it was envisaged under the impact of the October revolution.
Understanding the prolonged nature of the transition to a new society, a fresh look at Marxist theoretical work on economic development. This requires giving up the entrenched notion of public ownership being equated with only State ownership. Different forms of public ownership, other than State ownership, are necessary to prevent bureaucraticism and stagnation. The co-existence of planned and commodity-market sectors will have to be constantly updated and innovated. Central Planning as a singular/centralised model must give way to plans at different levels and the vital element of popular participation.
The coexistence with capitalist forms necessitates the continuous ideological struggle against the bourgeois ideology it engenders and its corrupting influences. This is possible only if the revolutionary party does not confine its role to administering the State and managing the economy. The parties in the Soviet Union and East Europe played no role as independent agencies for waging ideological struggle and political work among the people. This in turn is related to the lack of institutionalising socialist democracy which is not possible by merging the ideology of the Party with the State.
Marxist Alternatives
In the "post-Soviet" and so-called "post-Marxist" era, there are various ideological trends and theories flourishing which deny even the possibility or the necessity to comprehend the world as a whole. Such contemporary currents as post-modernism have arisen in the period of late capitalism which has turned against the very project of enlightenment which marked the early phase of the rising bourgeoisie. Marxism has to refute many of these radical variants within the bourgeois thought.
Theories of class convergence, disappearance of class struggle and in practice class collaboration and co-option to the prevailing dominant bourgeois ideologies are a marked feature of the current period. The socialist alternative will have to be kept abreast and by using Marxist theory to refute the many radical variants of bourgeois thought.
The record of social democracy in the last decade of the twentieth century shows a total collapse of the radical vision. Identity politics based on gender, race and ethnicity cannot support a viable socialist project for the twentyfirst century. The challenge before Marxism-Leninism is to integrate within the socialist alternative, based on class politics, all the living issues such as gender, environment and racial-ethnic inequalities. Given the constraints of the scope of the paper and the length, we can only briefly deal with two of the issues.
In the conditions of contemporary bourgeois society, the question of gender oppression assumes vital importance. This makes it essential for Marxists to unravel the threads linking patriarchy and capitalism. Unlike the decades of the sixties and the seventies, when the feminist movement sought to address issues of gender oppression devoid of class, the present capitalist offensive with "flexible" employment and similar measures making women major victims has brought the class oppression of women into focus. While looking at working women as an integral part of the exploited classes the social aspects of gender oppression within the class is something Marxist theory must seriously address.
The world is faced with a serious threat to the ecology which threatens life and nature on the planet. The ecological problem and the environmental degradation is of global proportions and affects the future of humanity. To recognise this threat is one thing but to pose it as an issue which transcends class and argue for a theory of inter-dependence with imperialism as Gorbachev did is another thing altogether. It is true that Marxists, particularly in the third world, have not paid sufficient attention to developing a comprehensive analysis to deal with the question of ecology and environment. At the same time it is wrong to claim that Marxism precludes a proper understanding of the issue of environment given its "productionist bias". A careful reading of Marx and Engels shows that the whole basis of their philosophical understanding was that man is part of nature and his being and life is organically related to nature. As Marx wrote in 1844 "Man lives from nature i.e. nature is his body, and he must maintain a continuing dialogue with it if he is not to die. To say that man's mental and physical life is linked to nature simply means that nature is linked to itself, for man is part of nature". Engels wrote about how the division between town and country affects nature. However in the 19th century Marx and Engels could not have envisaged the global threat to ecology which developed over a sustained period of capitalist development with its profit driven plundering of nature.
On the global scale today the threat to the environment is integrally connected to the mechanisms of worldwide capitalist exploitation. Fidel Castro's speech at the Rio Summit in 1992 is a brilliant Marxist exposition of the environmental issue wherein he said "In essence, the North's ecological deterioration has been "exported in large measure to the South as part of a long process of capitalist development". The advanced capitalist countries have to pay its "ecological debt" to the third world. "All too frequently in developed capitalist societies it is clear that ecological concerns are incompatible with the profit principle, the exaggerated desire to consume and the primary objective of individual well-being which are the essential driving forces of those societies".
The export of ecological pollution from the richer capitalist countries to the poor countries, the possession and control of genetic resources, the efforts to control and check development of the third world countries using the ecological factor to make up for the lavish consumption and affluent standards of the imperialist countries is to be seen as part of the international class struggle.
CONTEMPORARY RELEVANCE OF MARXISM
As we approach the next century, the world experienced the enormous development of the productive forces, the successive waves of the scientific and technological revolution and for the first time an abundance of material goods which can end want and deprivation for the whole of humanity. In contrast to this possibility, the bulk of the world's population lives in hunger, poverty and disease. Capitalism is a system which has resulted in such a sharp divide. For the true emancipation of humanity, class exploitation and imperialism must end. The currents against such exploitation are reasserting themselves amongst different sections of the working people in various parts of the world. As long as this struggle for human emancipation remains, Marxism will provide the nourishing springs for analysis and for revolutionary movements to transform the world.
It is essential for the Marxists of the current generation to carry forward the task of developing Marxism further. Discarding what is not relevant and taking on board what is new is a constant process in the Marxist method. It will be well for us to remember what Lenin said, "We most certainly do not look upon the theory of Marx as something permanent and immutable; on the contrary we remain convinced that it has merely laid the foundation stone of the science which socialists must advance in all directions if they want to keep abreast of life".
It is appropriate and befitting that the Communist Party of Cuba is sponsoring this International Workshop on the Future of Socialism in the 21st Century to mark the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Che Guevara's martyrdom. For if there is anything Che's revolutionary life and work symbolised, it is the striving for perfection in theory and practice inspired by an undying optimism that socialism is the future.

Blood clots aren't just painful, they can be downright deadly.
These sticky cell masses can lead to heart attacks… strokes… and even stop your breathing.
And if they get dislodged from your veins, blood clots can take your life in just a matter of second.
Of course, the mainstream doesn't offer any help.
They'll just hand you a prescription for a risky blood thinner that can put your health in further danger!
Fortunately, there's a better, natural way to stay free of blood clots.
And it's all thanks to an ancient Japanese secret that can melt blood clots in just FIVE HOURS!
Nattois a pungent-smelling fermented soybean dish that has been served in Japanese culture for more than 1,000 years as a folk remedy for heart disease.
Support your body's ability to break up and dissolve unhealthy blood clotting.
Prevent blood clots from forming.
Enhance your production of natural clot-dissolving agents.
You see, natto stops clots at their source by dissolving a protein called fibrin.
Fibrin is essential for healing wounds.
For instance, if you have a broken blood vessel, fibrin will bond with your blood platelets to form a plug and heal the wound.
Your body naturally produces a substance called plasmin that breaks up and dissolves fibrin after your wound has healed.
But, as you get older, your plasmin levels diminish… and the fibrin left behind accumulates, thickens, and forms dangerous clots that set you up for a fatal heart attack or stroke.
Luckily, natto dissolves those risky fibrin build-ups.
And it does so even better than natural plasmin!
In one study, natto dissolved a blood clot in HALF the time it took for the control medication to eliminate an identical clot.
Plus, natto remained effective against other nearby clots for two to eight hours. Big Pharma drugs, and the other hand, only remain active for up to 30 minutes.
In another study, X-rays showed that the blood clots treated with natto had completely dissolved within five hours of treatment, and that normal blood circulation had been restored.
And the placebo group? They experienced no improvements even 18 hours after treatment.
Just imagine what nattokinase could do for you!
While the superfood natto can be hard to come by, nattokinase supplements are not uncommon and very affordable.
You can find these from Doctor's Best, Piping Rock, and Healthy Origins at around $20 a month!
That's a major savingscompared to pharmaceutical blood thinners that can cost as much as $1,500 for a single prescription.
If you or a loved one are suffering from blood clots or other circulatory issues, experts recommend nattokinase at 1,500-2,000 fibrin units per day.

Singer Jon Weston was living a quiet life as a farmer until one day singing on a track for Oakland producer Anton Patzner, revealing a rich, soft-spoken voice and a wealth of words and emotions ready to burst into the world.
FEVRMOON makes minimal, moody music leveraging a palette of found-sounds, digital synthesizers, 808 drum samples and live orchestral instruments. Centered around the humble vocal performances of Jon Weston, producer Anton Patzner weaves a driving, contemplative backdrop, sometimes warping and mangling Weston's vocals, and at other times leaving them raw and exposed.
Patzner says the following about the track: "The lyrics from this song were taken directly from a shamanic journey that Jon experienced. Shortly after we started our project and made our first song, Jon got really into spiritual stuff and started exploring all kind of spiritual journeying, with and without psychedelics. It's an inner journey, made with the eyes closed. When Jon came in to my studio write on this song he had just been on a really deep journey the day before and all of the imagery in this song (nature, spirit animals) comes directly from that. It's a journey of rebirth. Having known Jon before our project and knowing him now, he really has opened up in an amazing way. He used to be really shy and self conscious and now he's very open and ready to share himself. I think the journeying and music were both a big part of his awakening."

Sweet Oblivion (Remix #2), by Fire_sign


This is our version of a sipping style of sweet vermouth. It makes a pretty mean Negroni and Manhattan but is also just as delicious over ice on a warm evening.
Its base is the Sparrow & Vine Grenache and some Pinot Noir, both of which had lovely spicy characters to start with and took to the additional flavours like a duck to water.
The bittering agents were wormwood and angelica root and a whole nest full of flower and citrus and spice were added to the mix. It was sweetened with a big dollop of wild honey taken from our hive in Newtown, in Sydney's inner west.

A sharp blade passed by Sung-Hyun's cheek.
Hwang Seok-il is pushing him even harder.
However, Sung-Hyun's eyes were calm as ever.
'I can see it. His movements that were hard to catch up with just now.'
Sung-Hyun's eyes are constantly moving.
Hwang Seok-il's movement was clearly visible as he pressured himself in.
He was responding to all his tests.
Even the seemingly narrowly missed attack, Sung-Hyun was sending it away several times as if he had calculated it.
'This is….'
Hwang Seok-il, who was dealing with Sung-Hyun in person, also felt the change.
His movements are completely different from those of just now, even if he is a completely different person.
"Was that the potion just an inflection point?'
Hwang Seok-il also doped after the dungeon and connection were formed.
Doping was a daily routine for hunters who are at a certain level.
However, the same level of leap that Sung-Hyun drank was of the highest quality that even the top hunters could not get their hands on.
And Sunghyun applied it in three layers.
The reaction speed was amplified to an extreme level, and the opponent's movements were clearly read.
In addition, the agile stat rose sharply and the body followed.
The effect was further amplified as the effect of the potion, which had already been increased by doping, increased again.
Crang!
Sung-Hyun, who has been pushing Hwang Seok-il by raising his momentum.
Seok frowned at something unusual.
'It's a sudden change in the flow. If I do this wrong, I might get hurt.'
He didn't even think that the masked necromancer could beat him, Hwang Seok-il.
There could not have been a record to beat him, who was close to the S-level.
But now the idea is starting to shake little by little.
'I can't keep an eye on you.'
Seok caught his sword quietly.
Seo Joon-young, who was trying to fight with him, was already down, and there was no one to disturb him.
He approached Sung-Hyun, who was distracted by a fierce fight, aiming for his back.
But the moment he was about to run towards Sunghyun.
Crying!
On the sudden blade, he managed to lift the sword and block it.
Seok Hyun-jun's body was pushed out due to a heavy shock.
"Do you think you're gonna get in the way?"
Vampire Lord, Izuna raised the sword.
She was already the one who had killed a guild member of Cheongseong and had no intention of letting another noob interfere with Sung-Hyun's fight.
"Where else are you coming from? Are you with him?"
"You don't have to know that, lowlife. I'll clean it up for you right now."
The red mana fluttered in her hands.
A loud explosion of flames occurred with a bang, and Seok Hyun-jun was removed from the place where Sung-Hyun was.
"It's starting to show."
Meanwhile, Hwang Seok-il, who was engaged in a fierce battle, opened his mouth.
"I don't know about you yet, but… I usually deal with monsters. I don't have much experience competing with a proper hunter."
Stretch!
After posing, Sung-Hyun put black energy into his sword.
Sung-Hyun's inspection in an honest direction.
Hwang Seok-il, who was simply letting go of the obvious attack, instantly pulled himself out.
Ohm!
Seonghyeon's sword split the entire wall of the building.
By shadowing the sword, the power was strengthened, and the scope of the cut was increased, making the entire wall of the building beautiful.
Hwang Seok-il's body would have been halved if he had not instinctively pulled out of the unusual energy.
"You have great power. But the power of technology doesn't mean much in the fight between high-ranking swordsmen."
Unlike monsters armed with thick armor and scales, they did not need that much power when dealing with people.
In a fight where you die if you stab each other.
It only needed enough strength to cut out the heart and neck.
Kaaaaing!
The speed-saving inspection poured out without hesitation.
Hwang Seok-il, who suddenly picked up the pace, took full control and began to pressure Sung-Hyun.
The flow that had changed as Sung-Hyun drank a potion was changing again.
"I can't believe you've suddenly changed this much……?'
"I'll make you feel the wall. Just like I did in the past."
Kwagwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!
"Cough!"
Sunghyun, who was thrown out, grabbed his abdomen.
'I could feel my gut was in a mess with one blow I just now.'
After about of bloodshed, he hurriedly tried to take out the healing potion from his inventory.
However, Hwang Seok-il was seen approaching in an instant.
"Do you think I'll get hit twice by the same tactic?"
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Sung-Hyun, who was hit by a powerful kick, was buried in the rubble.
There was only one time that he could not use my hands because he was embarrassed by the function of the inventory that he had never seen before.
There was no way that the two high-ranking hunters could afford to drink potion while fighting.
'Oh, damn it.….'
Sung-Hyun, who became a wreck, stuck his head on the floor.
His bloody body did not easily listen to him, probably because of the large amount of damage he had just now.
"Where are your best summons? Do you think you'll be able to deal with me with that kind of composure?"
Hwang Seok-il approached, shouting roughly.
It's useless to bring in such bodies, but it's worth stepping on.
If you want, I can cut your head off right away.
He couldn't kill him, his brother's enemy.
'Jesus, you think I'm fighting alone because I want to fight fair and square.'
Sung-Hyun spat out a curse word inside.
Other boss-level summoners, such as Geard and Ankaras, were already dealing with the Hunters of Cheongseong, who were trying to approach them.
Calling in the fighting men would also bring the Hunters of Cheongseong to join the side where the disturbance was occurring, and it would mean nothing.
However, he could not call the legions of ordinary summoners he had left behind.
More and more monsters were already facing large-scale monsters and pouring out of the dungeon.
No matter when the owner of the dungeon appeared, it was not strange.
Rather, we had to hurry up and deal with the Hunters here and go help them.
Kudduck!
Sung-Hyun grabbed the ground and touched his arm.
'People are dying at this time. I don't have time to lie down here.'
A sharp blade passed by Sung-Hyun's cheek.
However, Sung-Hyun's eyes were calm as ever.
'I can see it. His movements that were hard to catch up with just now.'
Sung-Hyun's eyes are constantly moving.
Hwang Seok-il's movement was clearly visible as he pressured himself in.
'This is….'
"Was that the potion just an inflection point?'
The reaction speed was amplified to an extreme level, and the opponent's movements were clearly read.
'It's a sudden change in the flow. If I do this wrong, I might get hurt.'
He didn't even think that the masked necromancer could beat him, Hwang Seok-il.
'I can't keep an eye on you.'
Seok Hyun-jun's body was pushed out due to a heavy shock.
"What...?
"Do you think you're gonna get in the way?"
She was already the one who had killed a guild member of Cheongseong and had no intention of letting another noob interfere with Sung-Hyun's fight.
"Where else are you coming from? Are you with him?"
"You don't have to know that, lowlife. I'll clean it up for you right now."
"It's starting to show."
"I don't know about you yet, but... I usually deal with monsters. I don't have much experience competing with a proper hunter."
"Shut up."
Sung-Hyun's inspection in an honest direction.
Seonghyeon's sword split the entire wall of the building.
Hwang Seok-il's body would have been halved if he had not instinctively pulled out of the unusual energy.
"You have great power. But the power of technology doesn't mean much in the fight between high-ranking swordsmen."
"I can't believe you've suddenly changed this much...…?'
"I'll make you feel the wall. Just like I did in the past."
"Cough!"
'I could feel my gut was in a mess with one blow I just now.'
"Do you think I'll get hit twice by the same tactic?"
'Oh, damn it.….'
"Where are your best summons? Do you think you'll be able to deal with me with that kind of composure?"
It's useless to bring in such bodies, but it's worth stepping on.
He couldn't kill him, his brother's enemy.
'Jesus, you think I'm fighting alone because I want to fight fair and square.'
'People are dying at this time. I don't have time to lie down here.'

Aaron> it would be nice to see someone use it.
What about the warning present in the tutorial?
All of those should be safe.
It's doubtful that star-merge could behave badly for the case of tagging into the same branch. Perhaps it could behave badly in other cases, by selecting the wrong reference version.
Replay doesn't follow ancestry, AFAIK. It may stop at the most recent continuation. I only replay revisions, not versions, so I wouldn't know. Replay really should follow ancestry, but that means it needs to know what revision to start with, and what revision to stop at.

How White Rage Led to the Federal Shutdown
Andrew O'Hehir
Filed to: PoliticsFiled to: Politics
Reps. Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Dave Camp (Mark Wilson/Getty Images)
A "small group of congressman who represent a lily-white, neo-Confederate nation" have caused the government shutdown, writes Andrew O'Hehir at Salon magazine. Their frustration can be attributed to a "white rage and white derangement" about America's changing racial landscape.
Statistics and recent electoral history paint a deceptive picture of an increasingly diverse society that mostly appears harmonious, despite worsening economic inequality: White births are now a minority, the white majority population continues to shrink toward 50 percent, and a moderate biracial Democrat has been comfortably elected president twice, winning several previously conservative states. But a great many white people, more than anyone really wants to admit, find these facts profoundly troubling. They have been pandered to for generations by conservative politicians who assured them that their mythological vision of a white-picket-fence, exurban America was more authentic than anyone else's. I remember covering George H.W. Bush on the campaign trail in 1992 – the son of a senator and Wall Street banker, raised in Greenwich, Conn., and educated at Phillips Andover and Yale – when his stump speech included lines about "rural America, real America."
Of course "real America" hasn't been rural since the 19th century, and white panic about the changing nature of American society goes clear back to "No Irish Need Apply," the "gentleman's agreement" that barred Jews from elite universities and the housing covenants that prevented black families from moving to the suburbs even in states where there was never legal segregation. (F. Scott Fitzgerald specifically mocks this racial paranoia in the character of Tom Buchanan in "The Great Gatsby," published in 1925.) Every time we suppress that stuff in American life, it comes boiling back up in a different form, and the government shutdown strikes me as a long-delayed sequel to Pickett's Charge, a self-appointed and doomed crusade on behalf of White America, flipping the multicultural usurpers the double-handed bird as it burns down the house. It would almost be noble, if it weren't evil and pathetic and damaging.
As my colleague Joan Walsh has repeatedly observed, the racial subtext of American politics in 2013 — and hell, it's the text, not a subtext — is impossible to miss, but every time you bring it up you get lambasted by the right as a race-baiter.

Colombia: Mining, Minerals, and Fuel Resources
Mining Engineers Discover New Outcropped Coal Seam at New Colombia Resources' Property in Colombia
Image Credit: Juan Manuel Barrero Bueno/Shutterstock.com
Colombia is located in northern South America and borders the Caribbean Sea between Venezuela and Panama, and the North Pacific Ocean between Ecuador and Panama. It covers an area of 1,141,748 km2. The population of the country is 48,258,494 according to July 2019 estimates. It has a tropical climate along the coastal region and eastern plains and is cooler in the highlands.
Colombia has vast natural resources, such as emeralds, copper, gold, nickel, iron ore, steel, natural gas, limestone and, petroleum. In the second quarter of 2019, the country's GDP increased by 3% year-on-year. Mine exploitation contributed about 5.08% to Colombia's GDP in the same year.
Economic development in the country has been hit by inadequate infrastructure and severe flood damage during the past. However, the country's economic policies and free trade agreements have enabled Colombia to overcome the challenges that resulted from the economic downturn.
Colombia is rich in mineral resources such as coal, gold, iron ore and steel, crude petroleum, natural gas, platinum, nickel, limestone, copper, and silver.
In 2015, Colombia was:
The second-largest producer of coal in the western hemisphere, after the USA
The fourth-largest producer of petroleum in Latin America
It is also a significant producer of nickel (contributing almost 3% to the world's production). Colombia was the only producer of platinum in Latin America and is recognized globally as a source of high-quality emeralds
Colombia has abundant reserves of gold and nickel. In 2010, the nickel production in Columbia decreased by nearly 5% compared to the total output in 2009, owing to the replacement of a furnace at the Cerro Matoso reserve to enhance operational reliability. Afterward, the reserve was estimated to have 48 Mt of laterite ore grading 1.3% nickel and nearly 65 Mt of other ores. In 2015, the mine produced 40 Kt of Nickel.
In 2015, Antioquia, one of Colombia's north-western regions, mined 21.5 tons of gold; production levels have remained steady since the resurgence during the late 90s and 2000s.
In 2015, the departments of Cesar and La Guajira produced a total of 79.1 Mt of coal, equating to almost 93% of the country's production. Two major coal miners dominated this production; Drummond Ltd. and Carbones del Cerrejón LLC. Petroleum production climbed to 367.1 Mbbl, an increase of around 1.5% compared to the prior year. Compared with 2014, there were fewer oil rigs than in 2015 with only 12 active rigs, partly because of low oil prices.
Foreign investment in Columbia was badly hit for several decades due to widespread endemic violence. However, the mid-2000s saw the country's mining industry experience rapid growth, owing to improved security and increased commodity prices. Government tax breaks were introduced along with investment incentives to attract foreign investors, resulting in a nine-fold increase in foreign investments in the decade leading to 2011.
In other attempts to recover confidence with foreign investors and also protect the country's interests, the government of Columbia introduced a new regulatory scheme that will exercise tighter controls on investment in the mining sector. New mining codes are planned that will ban mining in protected areas and layout stringent bidding rules. Colombia has always resisted exploitative mining companies, whose large-scale mining activities drastically affect the environment and communities. Experts feel that the voluntary guidelines laid out by the government in an attempt to curb irresponsible corporate mining are inadequate and a stricter law preventing environmental damage caused by mining is required.
Nevertheless, the sector is still experiencing a period of uncertainty, partly caused by legal instability from decisions being made at a judicial and administrative level. The courts are going to make an unprecedented decision on future mining consultations, which could mean public input on whether to veto or support mining extractions.
Following 2017 reports, the country ranked third amongst the South American nations in terms of GDP. Columbia's mining sector is likely to remain strong in the coming years, provided stricter environmental safeguards and more investor-friendly policies are implemented.

6.6 million granted by Texas GLO for historic disaster mitigation projects in Newton County
Funds to improve water infrastructure approved for the city of Newton
AUSTIN — Today Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, Texas Senator Robert Nichols and Mayor Mark Bean announce the Texas General Land Office (GLO) approved $6.6 million in flood mitigation projects to improve water infrastructure in the City of Newton. These infrastructure projects will directly benefit residents in a majority low-to-moderate income (LMI) area who have faced repetitive storm damage in 2015, 2016, in 2017 with Hurricane Harvey, and 2019.
"Newton is a perfect example of how many communities across Texas have been in need of replacing or fixing significantly outdated infrastructure," said Commissioner Bush. "The GLO is proud to working with communities across Texas to fund important mitigation projects that will benefit these communities and their residents for generations, especially since these funds are going directly to projects that will benefit low-to-moderate-income Texans."
"As we've witnessed this week, the City of Newton is not immune to the risks of flooding and destruction that come with devastating storms like Hurricane Harvey," said Newton Mayor Mark Bean. "The hammering rains and rising floodwaters impact everything from our roadways to the availability of drinking water, to say nothing of the damage to homes and property. This $6.6 million in funding from the GLO will help us implement flood system improvements that might not have been possible otherwise, and help ease the suffering and hardships faced by our residents, particularly low to moderate income and other vulnerable populations, during future storms and hurricanes."
Texas Senator Robert Nichols offered his support from the Texas Capitol saying, "It's impossible to overstate how important these flood mitigation funds are to East and Southeast Texas. Senate District 3 saw severe flooding during the 2015 floods, the 2016 floods, and again during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. These flooding events showed just how vulnerable this area of the state is and how necessary mitigation efforts are. Senate District 3 won over $105 million in the competitive flood mitigation fund award process because the projects in our region are vital to protecting Texans from future flood events. I appreciate the professionalism of the GLO throughout this process and our local officials who worked so hard to make these projects a reality.
Hurricane Harvey State Mitigation Competition Round 1 ($1 billion of $2,144,776,720 total)
City of Newton: Water System Improvements Project - $6,646,990
The project will ease the suffering and hardships faced by all residents of the city of Newton, particularly low to moderate income and other vulnerable populations, during future flood and Hurricane events. This project will provide a city-wide benefit.
The city proposes to mitigate the existing threat to public health and safety by doing the following:
Drill a new well at a higher elevation.
Install a new 250,000-gallon storage tank.
Replace piping with 700 LF of main casing, 300 LF of screen, 300 LF of column pipe, 25,100 LF of water main, fire hydrants, control valve and piping, electrical controls, Aerator tower, aerator, pressure filter system, backwash tank, electrical and controls, emergency power generator, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and associated appurtenances.
Repair pavement totaling 3,765 LF.

Ceviche är en limemarinerad förrätt. Det kan vara Ceviche de pescado som är en fiskrätt från Sydamerika, vanligast i Chile, Peru och Ecuador. Rätten är Perus nationalrätt. Ceviche de pescado tillagas med färsk vit fisk och marineras med gröncitron (sp. limón agrio) eller lime och kryddas med koriander, salt, röd lök. Cevichen hör till den rätt som förmodligen är mest representativ för Peru och det är även den rätt som också har fått mest spridning internationellt. Ceviche mixto peruano är en variant på ceviche som bland annat innehåller skaldjur. Alla ceviche äts kylskåpskalla. I Ecuador är räkcevichen populär.

Historia
I det gamla Peru gjordes maträtten på färsk fisk som man lät ligga i en lag av en lokal frukt vid namn tumbo. Under tiden för Inkariket lät man fisken ligga i ett bad av chicha.

Med det spanska inflytandet lades två ingredienser till från Medelhavets matkulinariteter: gröncitron och lök. De andra ingredienserna har hållit sig kvar tills nu och bildar del av denna typiskt inhemska maträtt.

Odlingen av gröncitron i Mexiko har gjort att man har fått fram en lokal variant av en något mindre storlek och med starkare citronsyra än de citroner som växer i den gamla världen. Syrligheten hos dessa citroner gör att man kan bereda fiskköttet genom att lägga det i blöt under endast kort tid.

På originalspråket quechua heter maträtten siwichi.

Ingredienser
Vit fisk som skärs i små bitar, citron (gröncitron) eller lime, lök, spansk peppar eller chili, koriander, salt, glutamat, kokt majs (inte den söta varianten), kokt camotepotatis eller "boniato" (sötpotatis), kokt yucca (kassava), röd lök, salladsblad och tång som garnering.

Blandad ceviche
I den "blandade cevichen" har man lagt till diverse skaldjur, liten bläckfisk och/eller fisk. Denna variant är internationellt spridd. Ibland används emerita analoga eller muy-muy som det heter i Peru.

Tillbehör
Den vanliga drycken som serveras till cevichen är pisco sour, cerveza (öl) eller chicha morada.

Tigermjölk (Leche de tigre)
I vardagslag kallar man i Peru den vätska som bildas när man blandar ingredienserna till den peruanska cevichen för tigermjölk. Vätskan har en lätt syrlig och kraftig smak och har egenskapen att vara stärkande. Lokalt rekommenderas den till frukost för nattugglor och som ett afrodisiakum.

Andra ceviches
Den typiska cevichen längs nordkusten i Peru (som kallas "ceviche på svarta musslor", ceviche de conchas negras) är också populär längs Ecuadors kust. I denna variant av cevichen brukar det typiska skaldjuret vara svart almeja (en slags mussla) tillsammans med rostad majs.

Ceviche är även en del av det mexikanska köket. Där är cevichen ofta gjord som en blandning av olika fiskar och skaldjur med gröncitron, chili och tomat. Det finns varianter som skiljer sig avsevärt (t.ex. cevichen i Acapulco) och andra som är mycket lika (ceviche jaliciense).

Ceviche de carne görs på t.ex. grovhackad oxfilé, minitomat, rödlök, olja, eventuellt soya, koriander, citron/lime, apelsin, senap, peppar, salt, röd paprika, popcorn eller rostad majs. Marineringstid cirka två timmar i kylskåp.

Trump's 350-Ship Navy Plan Might Be Sunk
© AFP 2019 / US NAVY
US President Donald Trump's promise to overhaul the Navy's force structure to accommodate 350 ships may not come to fruition after all.
There's a slew of hurdles any politician faces in attempting a massive ship build-up. For one, there's the obvious question of funding and affordability (the Navy's new USS Ford was 20 percent over budget, for example). The US doesn't have enough skilled shipyard workers for the ramp up: laborers would have to be hired and trained for the initiative, CBNC reported in May. And ship construction is just one factor in expanding the Navy.

Plus, the billions needed to build new ships don't account for the additional costs of populating them with conventional aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and weapons.
US Navy Secretary nominee Richard Spencer said that the 355 ship goal is a "good number for people to focus on," but added that "what we also want to get our head around is, can we have a capacity number but have a capability that's even greater than that, so have the capability of a 355 [ship force] that might be a 300-ship Navy."
One way to bolster capability without more ships would be to capitalize on unmanned technologies.
The US Navy had forecasted that it will need 355 ships, according to a Congressional Research Service analysis. "The 355-ship goal, however, reflects the national security strategy and national military strategy that were in place in 2016 (i.e., the Obama Administration's national security strategy and national military strategy)," CRS noted. The 355 mark is up from the 2012 force structure assessment's conclusion that found 308 ships would be adequate.

Of course, if the goal is accomplished, Trump will take credit in the same way he did when F-35 costs came down in January, a drop budget hawks had been expecting for months.
Spencer was promptly ridiculed for his "soft" stance. "He has too much of the Washington disease of being soft — 'Well, 350 may be a good number, and we're going to do all this other stuff, these complementary pieces,'" seapower subcommittee chairman Rep. Republican Rob Wittman of Virginia told Defense News.
"I think being ambivalent about 355 ships is not where the SecNav needs to be," Wittman stressed.

PAL-V Is Accepting Pre-Orders for Its Flying Car
With a starting price of $400,000 USD.
By Hasse Lemola
Automotive Feb 14, 2017
We've previously covered various flying car concepts that were still far from ready for consumer use. Well, thanks to Dutch company PAL-V this ever-elusive goal of an airborne vehicle has become a reality with the introduction of what it calls "the first certified commercial flying car ever." The three-wheeled PAL-V Liberty bears some resemblance to a helicopter with its retractable top-mounted motor, but it can actually hit ground speeds of up to 100 mph and 817 miles driving distance on a full tank. While in the air, the hybrid vehicle has a top speed of 112 mph but it can only travel 310 before needing to refuel. If you're in the market for a new very expensive toy the $400,000 USD base price shouldn't put you off; you can pay $600,000 USD for the "Pioneer" edition which includes a nicer interior, electronic flight instrument display, and even at-home training. Head over to PAL-V now to make an initial deposit now. The first batch is set to begin delivery at the end of 2018.

Q: React-select dropdown list getting cut in IE11 React select (https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select) drop down list is not fully shown in IE, works in other browsers.

Works on other browsers.
I tried setting the
.react-select__menu {
overflow-x:auto;
overflow-y:auto;
}

Tried also to set the position to absolute and fixed for react-select and overflow to visible when menu is open (not sure if correct).
and also setting the height for both menu and its child menu-list, nothing seems to work.
what can be done to fix it ?
Thanks in advance.

A: it was a simple fix ,after many "un-necessary" trial and errors, i made the react-select position:absolute and it worked.

A: I don't have experience with react-select, however I suspect the parent is limiting the visibility of the drop-down menu. If you can add the CSS of the parent container to your answer, that might be helpful, but for now my suspicion is based on the way the menu is being cut off. If you inspect the drop-down does IE indicate the element hight is taller than what is shown, with the rest of it hidden on the page?
Another way to test this which might be faster, is to create a plain HTML document with the drop-down, no additional except for react select.
If it's still broken I think you would have a good case for opening a bug ticket on GIThub.
In the mean time, without knowing what the exact issue is, you might be able to use positioning on the parent or a nested child of the drop-down (as the top level might be position absolute) to get the drop-down to render correctly. Sometimes adding position:relative can resolve collapsing element issues.

A: I see that you solved your problem but I had this same issue and struggled with it for awhile. In case anyone else struggles with this I wanted to share how I solved it. My dropdown was cut off and I was having issues getting the scrollbar to show up, overflow: auto; was not working for me.
To make it work I added maxMenuHeight={150} to  and set the position to fixed. Here is my code:

Page

                    <Select
                      maxMenuHeight={150}
                      className="btn btn-mini position-fixed"
                      options={paginationOptions}
                      placeholder="1"
                    />

A: I have also faced the same issue.
I just fixed it by using overflow: visible on the parent component of react select check attachment here.
as the menu was cut down due to the overflow hidden of the absolute positioned parent.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, a senior adviser to Donald Trump's 2020 campaign and Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, speaks Thursday evening in University Auditorium. Guilfoyle spoke about her upbringing, her relationship with the Trump family and her political philosophy.
Sam Thomas / Alligator Staff
Alyssa Feliciano, Staff Writer
President Donald Trump announced today that Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox News anchor and girlfriend of his son Donald Trump Jr., will serve as the National Chair of the Trump Victory Finance Committee.
The press release states that Guilfoyle will lead a "nationwide fundraising program designed to recruit and activate a network of bundlers."
On Oct. 10, Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. spoke at the University Auditorium amid hundreds of protesters. The two were brought through the Accent Speakers Bureau and were paid $50,000 in student fees.
The event drew national attention when The Alligator revealed emails between Student Body President Michael Murphy and Caroline Wren, the Trump Victory financial consultant, which showed that Murphy and Wren had met during a Fourth Of July party and discussed bringing Guilfoyle, Trump Jr., and Republican National Committee Chair Tommy Hicks.
Murphy, whose father was a former lobbyist for UF and maxed out donations to President Donald Trump's campaign at $5,600, told the Alligator on Oct. 5 that SG initiated contact with Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle, and when Trump Jr. agreed to speak, ACCENT contacted his representatives. When asked, Wren initially denied knowing Murphy.
Contact Alyssa Feliciano at [email protected]. Follow her on Twitter @alyssashantelle.
Correction: This story has been updated to reflect that Michael Murphy's father was a former lobbyist for UF and maxed out donations to President Trump's campaign. It was also updated to reflect that Michael Murphy told The Alligator that Student Government initiated contact with Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle. The Alligator originally reported differently.

Hillary Handed Trump a Pinocchio Size Debate Whopper about Putin - Trump Flubs Response
Clinton heated up presidential debate with stunning lie about Putin
William Dunkerley Tue, Oct 11, 2016 | 810 words 2,711 Comments
Hillary endorsed Obama administration misinformation about the Russia hacking scandal in her debate comments Sunday. She even heaped her own fabrication on top.
The result was an open invitation for Trump to make points. But the opportunity flew right over his head.
Here's what she said:
"Our intelligence community just came out and said in the last few days that the Kremlin, meaning Putin and the Russian government, are directing the attacks, the hacking on American accounts to influence our election."
Trump's response got off on the right foot. He said, "She doesn't know if it's the Russians doing the hacking."
He started to go astray when he added "Maybe there is no hacking."
Trump may very well be absolutely correct about that. But he was speaking to a national audience who had been hearing "Russian hacking, Russian hacking, Russian hacking" interminably ever since Wikileaks released its expose on the anti-Bernie email machinations of the Democratic National Committee. Few people have any doubt there has been hacking.
Trump's "no-hacking" suggestion likely sounded counterintuitive to most Americans who've paid attention to any of the US news about the humiliating scandal. It was easier to believe Clinton's lie than Trump's honest skepticism.
There was no gain here for Trump. And there was no gain for the American people in understanding the dangerous war provocations of the Clintons, Obamas, McCains and the like.
Trump's target of opportunity should have been simply Clinton's own words. It is true that the Obama administration put out a press release about Russian hacking, conveniently two days before the debate. But it mentions neither Putin nor the Kremlin. They were Clinton's gratuitous embellishments.
Even if Trump was ignorant of the official press release he could have simply asked Hillary for the facts she relied upon. The best she could have rendered would have been allegations. And Trump could have labeled them as such and again asked for the facts.
And then there was the administration's press release itself. Here's what it said:
"The US Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked emails on sites like DCLeaks.com and Wikileaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow -- the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities."
To boil this down, it (a) says that they are confident some unspecified element of the Russian government directed the hacking, (b) claims the activity matches Russia's MO, although offering no specific substantiation for whatever that MO might be, (c) uses mind reading to conclude an intention to disrupt the American election process, and (d) nonetheless expresses an ardent belief that only "Russia's senior-most officials" could have initiated the purported but unsubstantiated malicious interference.
What a sad commentary on "The US Intelligence Community." I've heard nothing from any US official sources that presents evidence of anything. Just rumor and innuendo. Apparently it does not take much for our government to become "confident" of Kremlin culpability.
Earlier there was a New York Times article that pinned the hacking not on Putin but on some kid in Biysk, deep in Russia's Altai Region.
I recall that some years back there was another young Russian hacker who was in Barnaul, a couple of hours northwest of Biysk. I've spent a lot of time in both Biysk and Barnaul. Interestingly there is a Facebook page titled "Support the Hackers of Barnaul, Russia." It's a crowdfunding effort. I guess they're not as well funded by Putin as many believe.
Like Trump, I don't know whether or not Russia is officially involved in the presumed hacking. It could be. Lots of government's engage in such activities. Remember America's hacking into Angela Merkel's phone conversations? But it is clear that those who are alleging the instant Kremlin hacking plot show no signs of having evidence to back up their scandalous allegations.
However what I think is most significant here is that Trump and his campaign seem to be no match for Hillary on the negative claptrap on Russia. It should have been easy to pull the rug out from under her on this hacking story.
There were more opportunities that Trump missed in the debate, too.
For instance Hillary said, "We have never in the history of our country been in a situation where an adversary, a foreign power, is working so hard to influence the outcome of the election."
Perhaps she's forgotten the 1996 alleged Chinese funding of her husband's campaign. Trump missed that opportunity too.

Edinburgh's CEOs Are Back In The Dog House
Shaf Rasul. In the Dog House 2019 winner.
The city's top business minds will trade the boardroom for a kennel when Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home kicks off our fourth annual 'In the Dog House' event on Friday 25 September.
The Home is once again inviting CEOs, business leaders and influencers to spend a day in our kennels and support our vital work to rescue, reunite and rehome stray and unwanted pets from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Armed with only a laptop and a mobile phone, the business gurus aim to raise as much funds as they can, with the coveted 'Top Dog' trophy awarded to the highest earner.
This year the event has a virtual twist, allowing participants to take part from the comfort of their own homes. Others wishing to get the full Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home experience can take part directly from their kennels, with strict social distancing measures in place. All participants will be encouraged to use their networks and make new connections to reach fundraising milestones, which will be rewarded with 'treats', such as a chair to sit on, a walk in the paddock and snacks.
Shaf Rasul, Founder and CEO at EStock Limited, and 2019 In The Dog House winner, encouraged Edinburgh's business community to get involved. He said:
"In The Dog House was one of my favourite events for my favourite charities. Not only did I make some fantastic contacts on the day, but with only a laptop and mobile phone to work with, it was also a chance to reach out to old friends and rekindle connections, all while raising money for a good cause. There's no doubt that businesses in Scotland have had their challenges this year, but I can't think of a better way to kick-start this new normality and get the creative juices flowing."
Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home's Director of Development and External Affairs, Nicola Gunn, said:
"It's been a difficult few months for Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, with many events and fundraising initiatives cancelled and no let-up in the numbers of animals reaching us in need of our help. Being able to open our doors for In The Dog House is an enormous milestone in our recovery and we are determined that it will be the best one yet.
"We are hoping that this event will go a small way to recouping the estimated £650,000 we have lost during the COVID-19 crisis. Moreover it's a unique experience for participants to put themselves in the paws of our rescue animals and make a direct impact on their lives."
Since it was first launched in 2017, In The Dog House has raised nearly £50,000 to support Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, funds that have been used to provide food, shelter, training and essential veterinary care for animals preparing to find new homes.
