Eric Lewis: Under Trump, Justice Dept. is Prosecutorial Hand of the President
Attorney Eric Lewis
Continuing testimony that began yesterday, U.S. lawyer Eric Lewis explained that under President Trump, the Department of Justice is not an independent agency but rather one that takes its direction from the top down. Lewis said that he isn't questioning the integrity of lower-level prosecutors, but they are taking direction from their Attorney General.
Lewis cited comments from Jeff Sessions, who was US Attorney General at the time Assange's indictment was brought, in which he called Assange's arrest a "priority." The top-down approach continued under William Barr, Lewis said, citing more than a thousand former federal prosecutors who co-signed a statement condemning President Trump's "obstruction of justice."
"Jeff Sessions pressured the Eastern District of Virginia to bring the case. I'm not saying individual prosecutors are acting in bad faith, I'm saying the department is highly politicized and many Americans would agree with that sentiment."
The comments came amid cross-examination, as U.S. prosecutors are attempting to undermine the dense claim that the prosecution of Assange is politically motivated. Lewis pointed again to the fact that the Obama administration made a clear decision not to prosecute Assange in 2013. The facts of the case are from 2010 and 2011 but the U.S. didn't indict until 2018; the only difference between then and now is who is in the White House.
"This case was dormant when the Trump administration began," Lewis said. "The evidence hasn't changed. Witnesses haven't changed. The First Amendment hasn't changed."
175 years in prison
The prosecution also attempted to cast doubt on the claim that Assange would face up to 175 years in prison if he is extradited to the United States. But Lewis said there is significant reason to believe that a judge would sentence him extremely aggressively. Assange would be tried in the Eastern District of Virginia under District Judge Claude M Hilton, who Lewis said is known as a "tough sentencer" and who threw Chelsea Manning in prison for contempt of court when she refused to testify in a WikiLeaks grand jury. Furthermore, U.S. officials have described WikiLeaks' releases as the biggest leak publications in history and has attempted to argue that U.S. adversaries benefited from the releases. Upon Chelsea Manning's conviction of 10 counts under the Espionage Act (whereas Assange faces 17), Lewis noted, the government asked for a 60-year sentence, and she was sentenced to 35.
The prosecution attempted to invoke the Espionage Act cases of whistleblowers Terry Albury, Reality Winner, and Jeffrey Sterling as evidence that these cases often result in shorter sentences. But Sterling himself tweeted in response,
In February, Sterling wrote, "Reject Using My Unjust Conviction Against Julian Assange."
Lewis noted that the U.S. Dept of Justice has made several adjustments to the second superseding indictment that it brought in June 2020. Despite adding no new charges, the indictment adds new language that, Lewis explained, increases the likelihood of a higher sentence. These added factors include other co-conspirators the government alleged were under Assange's direction, reference to a 'Teenager' among those (this refers to Siggi Thordarson, Icelandic informant), "special skills" (here could refer to Assange's alleged computer capabilities), and the fact that the State Department cables allegedly included names of U.S. government employees (at embassies around the world). These all lead Lewis to believe the newest superseding indictment substantially increases a potential sentence for Assange.
Abusive conditions await Assange
Finally, Lewis testified to the conditions Assange would be likely to face in a U.S. prison, both pre- and post-trial. Pre-trial, Assange would be held at the Alexandria Detention Center, and Lewis believes he would be held under both SAMs, which gags a defendant and permits monitoring of attorney-client communications, and the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), which curtails the defendant's ability to review classified documents in his/her case.
It's also highly likely Assange would be held in administrative segregation ('ad-seg), due to his notoriety and mental health issues, and the combination of ad-seg and SAMs would be tantamount to solitary confinement and extremely dangerous to Assange's psychological health. Lewis testified that two-thirds of all incidents of suicide and self-harm among inmates take place in segregated housing.
Tom Durkin: Assange would not get a fair trial in the United States

Next, the defense called Thomas Durkin, a criminal defense attorney from Chicago, to discuss how a trial against Assange would play out in the U.S. if he were extradited.
"I don't believe he would be able to get what I would consider to be a fair trial in the U.S.", Durkin said, because the case is the result of a highly politicized prosecution, CIPA restrictions would severely hamper the defense, and there would be huge pressure to accept a plea deal simply to avoid an exorbitant prison sentence.
Durkin corroborated what several witnesses have said thus far, that the Obama administration's decision not to prosecute contrasted with the Trump administration's decision to prosecute several years later, without new evidence, is clear evidence that the case is political.
The CIPA restrictions, he said, would mean Assange would not be able to view classified documents in the case, contrary to what U.S. assistant attorney Gordon Kromberg argued in submissions for the prosecution.
As for the pressure for a plea deal, Durkin testified that there is a built-in incentive to take a plea, in that a "timely guilty plea" automatically takes the sentence down a level within sentencing guidelines, which Durkin referred to as "draconian." This is commonly referred to as a "trial tax," meaning defendants are punished for taking their own cases to trial rather than pleading ahead of time.
Durkin said that the prosecution appears to argue that Assange is more liable than Chelsea Manning, indicating the government would seek a longer sentence than the 60 years it sought for Manning.
Furthermore, Durkin testified that any plea deal would require "full cooperation," meaning the government would very likely require Assange to reveal WikiLeaks' sources in order to obtain a plea agreement.
Tomorrow, former Der Spiegel journalist John Goetz and Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg are scheduled to testify.

Last week we learned all about the sun in kindergarten! One of my favorite activities that we did was put some objects in a muffin tin to observe if they changed or melted when put in direct sunlight for half an hour.
First we predicted which items would change and which would not, then we set them in the sun for thirty minutes and checked them again. I was really surprised how much the crayon and candle had melted, but it was a really hot day! This is a great activity to do when learning about the sun and how it affects the earth. It is simple enough for kindergartners, but even my upper elementary kids were intrigued!
All you need is a muffin tin and some household objects! If you'd like the printable we used for this activity, you can grab it free HERE!

3rd annual Tip-Off Banquet to feature CBS Sports' Clark Kellogg
Samir Moussawel|October 19, 2011
Mercer Basketball, the Mercer Athletic Foundation and the Macon community are proud to announce CBS Sports college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg as the keynote speaker for this year's Tip-Off Banquet. Speaking at the third installment of the event on Nov. 1, the Cleveland native will help kick off a new basketball season and hopefully help promote and raise money for Mercer Basketball.
The former NBA player and college standout will help bring experience and words of wisdom to a large crowd of Mercer athletes, families and friends in the University Center Arena. Following speakers Jay Bilas (2010) and Dick Vitale (2009), Kellogg will more-than-satisfy Mercer's high expectations for the annual occasion.
"We are very excited to once again have such an expert on college basketball like Clark Kellogg serve as our headline speaker for the Tip-Off Banquet," said MAF President John Collier. "We always want to have our featured speaker not only be 'high-profile' in the sense of recognition, but also someone who can speak about basketball – especially on the college level – with authority and conviction. In Clark Kellogg, we once again have that person," he added.
Born and raised in Cleveland, O.H., Kellogg attended St. Joseph's High School, where he made his mark as one of the best young basketball stars Ohio has ever produced. Named "Mr. Ohio Basketball" in 1979, Kellogg highlighted his high school career with a 51-point, 24-rebound performance in that year's state championship game. The 51-point mark still stands as the most points scored in a state finals game in Ohio's history.
After high school, Kellogg moved on to play college basketball at Ohio State University (OSU). Picking up where he left off, the 6-foot-7 small forward made the All-Big Ten Conference Team and garnered MVP honors.
After completing his four years at OSU ('79-'82), Kellogg was selected eighth overall in the 1982 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers. That was the same draft that included NBA legends James Worthy and Dominique Wilkins.
In his rookie season with the Pacers, Kellogg earned a spot on the All-Rookie First Team. He averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds that season. He still remains one of only 20 players to have done this in the history of the NBA. Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Tim Duncan, Elton Brand, and Blake Griffin are the most recent players to have achieved that goal. In the last 11 years, it has only been achieved once.
Early in his career, Kellogg earned the nickname "Special K". In fact, he was lined up to release his own brand of sneakers after signing a contract with Converse. Unfortunately, his days on the court came to a halt when he developed chronic knee problems and was forced into early retirement after just three full seasons ('82-'86).
In 1990, Kellogg signed on with ESPN as a basketball analyst. Working with the Big East Network and Prime Sports, Kellogg became a household name and spread his knowledge of the game to the world. Kellogg has also worked as a color commentator and analyst for his former team in Indiana over the years. In 1993, he joined CBS Sports and has been working alongside greats such as Greg Gumbel, Jim Nantz, and Verne Lundquist ever since. In fact, at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season, Kellogg was promoted to CBS Sports' lead basketball announcer. In 2009, he called the NCAA Championship Game between North Carolina and Michigan State.
The 50-year-old Kellogg continues to work games of March Madness, Championship Week and the occasional Pacers' game in the NBA. In fact, he was recently appointed as the Vice President of Player Relations for the Indiana-based organization.
To go along with all of his experience, Kellogg also received a degree in Marketing from OSU.
In addition, Kellogg has been featured as one of the commentators and voices in the NBA 2K sports editions of the NBA video games.
As a side note, in 2010, Clark Kellogg played a friendly game of P.O.T.U.S. (a rendition of H.O.R.S.E.) versus President Obama while discussing the NCAA tournament. Click here to watch the complete video.
Clark Kellogg, Coach Bob Hoffman and Coach Susie Gardner are just a few of the speakers listed for the Tip-Off event on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The new rosters and hopes of the upcoming season will be presented to the crowd of athletes and other Mercerians alike.

According to the leading Italian farming organization Coldiretti, five staples of the Mediterranean diet — olive oil, citrus fruit, wine, honey and pasta — are in danger of extinction.
In 2015, supermarket shelves will carry 35 percent less Italian olive oil, 25 percent less citrus fruit, 15 percent less wine and 50 percent less honey.
As for pasta, Italian durum wheat crops suffered a slight decline of 4 percent, while a substantial 10 percent drop occurred in the EU and a substantial 27 percent fall was recorded in Canada — Italy's main supplier. The domestic pasta industry is heavily dependent on purchasing wheat from abroad, which supplies approximately 40 percent of basic needs.
Due to poor crop yield as a result of bad weather, olive oil made in Italy will be rationed with virgin stock that is expected to be depleted within the first six months of 2015. Chestnuts have hit a record low, significantly below the 18 million kilograms of 2013 and one-third of the amount harvested 10 years ago.
A study conducted in January 2013 of the sales and distribution of 11 food categories also revealed that the breakfast food market, which generates €5.47 million annually, has seen a significant collapse. Items such as biscuits and jams are experiencing the greatest decrease. The other categories researched, which saw overall increases, included basic dishes, ready-made basic dishes (fresh or frozen), fast food, happy hour at home (prosecco, beer, alcoholic and non alcoholic aperitivi, snacks, etc.), health foods (vitamins, whole wheat, natural tuna, etc.), second courses (fresh or frozen meat and fish), gourmet (salmon, caviar, truffle, saffron, champagne, etc.) and healthy alternatives (soy, rice, and gluten-free products).
It has also been reported that healthy alternatives have risen in sales by 40 percent, which indicates that Italian consumers are willing to spend more on items that meet their needs.


According to information provided on the British Parliament's website, Jenny Tonge, a member of the British Parliament's House of Lords, asked the British Ministry of Defence why London had invited the Israeli Air Force to participate in the military exercise Cobra, scheduled for this summer.
According to Howe's statement, the Israeli regime has also allowed the British Air Force to conduct air operations over occupied Palestine under the pretext of fighting Daech in Syria and Iraq.
The German and Italian air forces will also participate in the military exercise Cobra, which will take place in September 2019.
This is the first time that London has officially announced its military cooperation with Tel Aviv and against Iran and Hezbollah. Two years ago, Stuart Peach, Chief of Staff of the British Armed Forces, also described the relationship between the two armies as "strategic" during a trip to Tel Aviv.

Scientists from the University of Chicago have found that the drug masitinib may be effective in treating COVID-19.
The drug, which has undergone several clinical trials for human conditions but has not yet received approval to treat humans, inhibited the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in human cell cultures and in a mouse model, leading to much lower viral loads.
"(X-ray crystallography) gave us a strong indication of how this drug works, and we became confident that it has a chance to work in humans." — Nir Drayman, University of Chicago.
The research team, including scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, also found that the drug could be effective against many types of coronaviruses and picornaviruses. Because of the way it inhibits replication, it has also been shown to remain effective in the face of COVID-19 variants.
"Inhibitors of the main protease of SARS-CoV-2, like masitinib, could be a new potential way to treat COVID patients, especially in early stages of the disease," said Savas Tay of the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, who led the research. "COVID-19 will likely be with us for many years, and novel coronaviruses will continue to arise. Finding existing drugs that have antiviral properties can be an essential part of treating these diseases."
The research team used the ultrabright X-rays of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility at Argonne, to determine structures of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with the drug. The results were published in Science.

When COVID-19 lockdowns began in March 2020, Tay and Nir Drayman, a postdoctoral fellow with the University of Chicago who specializes in virology, began to think about how they could help. To search for a better treatment for the disease, they began by screening a library of 1,900 clinically safe drugs against OC43, a coronavirus that causes the common cold and can be studied under regular biosafety conditions. They used cell cultures to determine the drugs' effect on infection.
They then gave the top 30 drug candidates to Glenn Randall, professor of microbiology at the University of Chicago, who tested them in cell cultures against the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the Howard Taylor Ricketts Laboratory. Measurements in the lab revealed nearly 20 drugs that inhibit SARS-CoV-2.
They also sent the drug candidates to other collaborators to test against the 3CL protease, the enzyme within coronaviruses that allows them to replicate inside a cell. They found that of the drug candidates, masitinib completely inhibited the 3CL viral enzyme inside the cell, a fact that was confirmed by X-ray crystallography by Andrzej Joachimiak and his colleagues at the Structural Biology Center (SBC) at the APS. The drug specifically binds to the 3CL protease active site and inhibits further viral replication.
"That gave us a strong indication of how this drug works, and we became confident that it has a chance to work in humans," Drayman said.
Though masitinib is currently only approved to treat mast cell tumors in dogs, it has undergone human clinical trials for several diseases, including melanoma, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and asthma. It has been shown to be safe in humans but does cause side effects, including gastrointestinal disorders and edema, and could potentially raise a patient's risk for heart disease.
Drug effective against variants, other viruses
Next, the researchers worked with peers at the University of Louisville to test the drug in a mouse model. They found that it reduced the SARS-CoV-2 viral load by more than 99 percent and reduced inflammatory cytokine levels in mice.
In parallel, the researchers also began to test the drug in cell cultures against other viruses and found that it was also effective against picornaviruses, which include Hepatitis A, polio, and rhinoviruses that cause the common cold.
They also tested it in cell cultures against three SARS-CoV-2 variants, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and found that it worked equally well against them, since it binds to the protease and not to the surface of the virus.
Now, the team is working with the pharmaceutical company that developed masitinib (AB Science) to tweak the drug to make it an even more effective antiviral. Meanwhile, masitinib itself could be taken to human clinical trials in the future to test it as a COVID-19 treatment.
"Masitinib has the potential to be an effective antiviral now, especially when someone is first infected and the antiviral properties of the drug will have the biggest effect," Drayman said. "This isn't the first novel coronavirus outbreak, and it's not going to be the last. In addition to vaccines, we need to have new treatments available to help those who have been infected."
A version of this story was originally published by the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago.
The Advanced Photon Source is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility operated for the DOE Office of Science by Argonne National Laboratory. Additional funding for beamlines used for COVID-19 research at the APS is provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and by DOE Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research. Supplemental support for COVID-19 research was provided by the DOE Office of Science through the National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory, a consortium of DOE national laboratories focused on response to COVID-19 with funding provided by the Coronavirus CARES Act.

Are we witnessing the end of HTC as we know it? June 2018 was a total disaster
By Chris Smith July 9, 2018 11:26 am BST
Are we about to see the back of HTC?
For every three phones HTC sold in June 2017, it sold just one in June 2018. That's right, the smartphone pioneer has revealed year-on-year sales are down 67%
Just a week after the firm announced it was cutting 1,500 jobs – around a quarter of its global workforce overall – it has revealed the sales figures, which make perfectly clear why the axe fell.
The cavernous drop in sales is a two-year high and comes after the launch of the HTC U12 Plus flagship device that has seemingly failed to capture the imagination of smartphone fans. It certainly didn't impress our own Max Parker, who called the device "simply not good enough," in his recent review.
Awarding the phone a 6/10 score he bemoaned the terrible buttons that make the phone unusable, the big and heavy build, a below par screen and the issues with Edge sense.
Max did praise the firm for "attempting to do something different" with the U12+, but only the camera, the strong audio performance and the presence of a screen without a notch prevented things being much worse for HTC.

Many saw selling off part of its smartphone division to Google as the company waving the white flag and switching focus to its Vive VR platform. The company is continuing to make phones, albeit the volume of releases appears to be decreasing. Whether, given these sales figures, a continuing presence in the smartphone market is sustainable remains to be seen.
HTC's stock has dropped by a third in 2018, suggesting investors are rapidly losing faith in HTC's ability to reclaim its former status as the top dog when it comes to Android phones. Does the company have a miracle up its sleeve?
What will it take for HTC to mount a comeback? Or are its days completely numbers? Drop us a line @TrustedReviews on Twitter.

Sidney Robinson (6 January 1863 – 6 December 1956) was a Liberal Party politician and Timber trader.

Background
He was the fourth son of John Robinson, of Backwell House, Somerset. He was educated at Mill Hill School. He married in 1887, Catherine Flora Grant of Cardiff. She died in 1935.

Business career
In 1880 he moved to Cardiff and worked in the timber trade with Messrs. John Grant & Co. He subsequently bought the company and then became a partner with T.W. David. They renamed the business Robinson, David & Co. He was elected President of the Bristol Channel Timber Importers Association.

Political career
In 1895 he was elected as a Liberal to Cardiff Town Council representing Splott Ward. He stood down from the Council in 1901. He opposed the Conservative Government's Education Bill which drew him back into Cardiff politics. He became President of Cardiff Liberal Association.
He was elected to the House of Commons at his first attempt, at the 1906 general election, for the Breconshire constituency. He had been selected in succession to Liberal MP, Charles Morley who had held the seat since 1895.

In 1907 he was appointed as a Justice of the Peace to serve in Glamorgan. He was re-elected at both the January 1910 and December 1910 elections.

From 1911 he served as a Justice of the Peace in Wiltshire and Somerset.
For the 1918 General Election there were boundary changes that merged Robinson's Breconshire constituency with the Radnorshire constituency of his Liberal colleague Sir Francis Edwards to form the new Brecon and Radnorshire constituency. Robinson was chosen by the new local Liberal Association to contest the seat and Edwards retired from parliament. Robinson's candidacy was further endorsed by Lloyd George and the Coalition Government, which was enough to deter any other candidate from standing.

With the approach of the 1922 general election, Robinson retired from parliament at the age of 59.

Resident in Bath, Somerset, after his retirement from national politics he assumed a number of roles with local charities.

When Kate Rafter returns home following her mother's death, she knows that things will be difficult. She and her sister are not on the best of terms, and Kate feels more comfortable in the warzones where she works as a journalist than she does in her hometown of Herne Bay.
On her first night in her mother's house, Kate hears a scream. Believing it to be a nightmare, she dismisses it. But then she hears it again. Is it real, or is it her imagination?
My Sister's Bones opens in Herne Bay police station one week after Kate's arrival. Kate has been arrested and detained pending a review by a clinical psychologist to determine her state of mind. What she has been arrested for is not immediately clear, and the story slowly unfolds as the novel alternates between the present where Kate is assessed by the relentless Dr Shaw, and what has happened during her week in Herne Bay. I thought that this structure worked really well, and I enjoyed finding out more about Kate and her background as well as the events that led to the situation in which the reader finds her.
It's clear from the outset that Kate's experiences in Syria have, understandably, affected her, and as a result Kate suffers from both aural and visual hallucinations – something that Dr Shaw is keen to explore further with the increasingly reluctant Kate. This casts doubt upon Kate's narrative, and I was constantly trying to separate the fact and fiction in her tale – My Sister's Bones is so cleverly written that I believed Kate one minute, and the next thought that she must be imagining everything.
I've kept my review deliberately light, as I think that to say too much would spoil this wonderful novel for other readers. What I will say is that My Sister's Bones is a compelling read that draws you in and keeps you guessing to the very end.
My Sister's Bones will be published as an eBook on 1 November 2016, and in hardback on 9 February 2017. Many thanks to Annie Hollands and Katy Loftus for the ARC.
I have this and I'm so excited!! Hope to read it soon!

President elect Joe Biden's work will be easier thanks to Senate wins
The Democrat victories in Georgia make the U.S. Senate an even split, but incoming vice president Kamala Harris, will be the tiebreaking vote

OTTAWA – When President elect Joe Biden takes office in less than two weeks, he will do so with a strategic advantage, as his party will control both the House and Senate, but experts say that control is tenuous.
After a riot by a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters rampaged through the capital Wednesday, legislators went ahead with the certification of the election results and Biden will be sworn in on Jan. 20. Earlier this week, Democrats also won two key races in Georgia, Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock both won seats that had been held by Republicans in the state.
President elect Joe Biden's work will be easier thanks to Senate wins Back to video
Their victories make the U.S. Senate an even split, but incoming vice president Kamala Harris, will be the tiebreaking vote.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he looks forward to working with Biden's team and with democratic control of the legislative process that could be easier. But Melissa Haussman, a political science professor at Carleton University, said there will have to be some cooperation with Republicans.
"It's a divided senate. It's 50/50 and they're going to have to come to some power-sharing agreement," she said. "It's not like Democrats having, you know, five more seats than the Republicans or something like that."
One of the big potential tensions between Biden's administration and Trudeau's will be over the Keystone pipeline. Biden has pledged to cancel the permit for the project, which he can do without any oversight from Congress. Trudeau has said he hopes to change Biden mind about the project.
It doesn't mean that friend isn't going to ask for things that you wish they didn't
In addition to hoping the pipeline will improve prices for Alberta oil, the provincial government is a direct investor in the project and committed $1.5 billion for its construction.
But if Biden wants to move ahead with a climate change plan or make investments in green energy, as he pledged to do, he will need Senate support.
Haussman said the Senate majority, even a thin one does give Biden more room to move on that agenda. She said outgoing Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, also sounded more contrite Wednesday, a possible sign he won't fight everything Biden intends to do.
"He may be more willing to negotiate than he might otherwise have been, so certainly I'm hopeful," she said. "I do think that the changed architecture will matter. I'm just not sure how much."
Eric Miller, president of the Rideau Potomac Strategy Group and fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Centre, said even with a majority, not all of Biden's Democratic Senators view the world the same way.
"There is diversity in the caucus among the Democrats, so that it's not like they're just going to show up and do everything Biden wants."
Miller points to West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who is a Democrat, but differs from many of his colleagues on several issues including climate change. He said while many Democrats want a "Green New Deal," as a climate plan, others are concerned about jobs in resource industries.
"One of the main friction points that you will see within the Biden world, are disagreements over whether the climate plan will be more ambitious and far reaching or less ambitious," he said.
Amid D.C. mayhem, Democrats take control of Senate after winning second Georgia race
Top White House officials consider resigning after Capitol riots that leave four dead, several injured
Control of the Senate does mean the Biden administration is likely to get the cabinet secretaries and other officials it wants for key positions and will set the legislative agenda.
"The Democrats will control what gets investigated or doesn't get investigated and they'll prioritize what gets time on the legislative calendar," said Miller.
Miller said for Trudeau, having Biden in office instead of Trump will be a welcome change, but while Trump's demands were often outlandish and easy to ignore, Biden's will be harder to say no to.
"It's good to have a friend from the perspective of the Trudeau government in the White House. It doesn't mean that friend isn't going to ask for things that you wish they didn't."
He said as an example Biden may want to take a more aggressive stance with China, which Trump pushed for as well, but the outgoing president didn't pressure allies to work with him confronting Beijing.
"The Biden folks have made very clear they think the Trump failure on China has been that they didn't bring the Europeans, Canada, Australia and Japan and others who are naturally China skeptics along."

Since the very unstable situation in the Middle East this war can get out of control very fast.
The 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic partly had to do with World War 1. At present the US is dealing with the A-H3N2 flu epidemic. Combining it with mass movements will spread the virus.
I will follow this "off-topic".
^Thanks DJ! As ever, Israel seems to need a dust-up with their neighbors every so often. I don't see this escalating much, as their conflicts always seem to be limited in recent years. However, if Iran ever gets a nuke, that could change.
Of course, our illustrious President can't wait to launch a military raid someplace, any place....perhaps starting with Iran?
When Hal Turner (HT) is correct there is a news black-out (to avoid panic).
CRS, DrPH-The US will not stay out of this escalation. Not looking good at all !
And as Israel has long sought ways to justify attacks on Iranian assets in Syria while at the same time undermining and destabilizing the Syrian government, the downing of an F-16 may have given Israel's hawkish leadership the excuse they've been looking for all along to escalate toward a final confrontation.
Middle East based journalist and analyst Elijah Magnier says we could be witnessing the tipping point that will ignite the entire region. Magnier reports that according to a "private source, all Syrian military and intelligence and their allies' (Hezbollah) positions in Syrian and Lebanon are on full alert."
they think they have a chance THIS TIme !!!
Since the Jerusalem-decision the US has not only Russia/China as a chosen enemy but also a major part of the Muslim-world. The Syria-conflict could explode to a global conflict very fast.
Pax Americana is dead. We have entered a post-American world.
Too hasty? Well, according to the Economist magazine the American President is no longer the world's most powerful leader. That mantle belongs to China's Xi Jinping.
It is Xi who talks about being the champion of globalisation and international trade, while Donald Trump's mantra is "America first".
At risk is a global order imagined by Woodrow Wilson, the US president during World War I: democracy, capitalism, interventionism, that laid a platform for economic growth, innovation and human rights.
Political scientist Joseph Nye saw this future more than a decade ago when he published The Paradox of American Power.
Writing after the September 11 terror attack, Mr Nye warned about the dangers of American complacency.
After the collapse of the Soviet empire and the end of the Cold War, Nye said the United States stopped paying attention to the world and turned their sights inward.
Even those who did look beyond America, he wrote, "became arrogant about our power, arguing that we did not need to heed other nations. We seemed both invincible and invulnerable".
Tragically Osama bin Laden reminded America just how vulnerable it was.
Fast forward and America is rubbing up against the limits of its power.
War and recession have left it weary.
The Obama years began with a theme of hope. Remember his victory speech? "This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
His critics called it the "Moses speech".
Eight years later, those same critics declared the Obama presidency a failure.
Even in the sober-minded journal Foreign Affairs, Harvard University's Professor of International Relations, Stephen Walt, said it was, "a tragedy, especially when it comes to foreign policy".
There is a cased to be made that Mr Obama was a poor foreign policy president.
Yes, he got bin Laden. But he was accused of poorly handling the war in Afghanistan, unnecessarily prolonging a conflict that today has failed to oust the Taliban.
Mr Obama underestimated the rise of Islamic State, declaring it a "JV" (junior varsity) terrorist organisation.
He misread the Arab Spring, failing to see the threat of violent extremists who had exploited the upheaval.
He demanded Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad, "must go", drawing red lines about the use of chemical weapons then failing to enforce them.
Mr Assad is still there, with Russian backing that has allowed Vladimir Putin to impose his power on the region.
Mr Obama failed to deliver on his pledge of a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.
Under Mr Obama, North Korea entrenched its status as a nuclear-armed state.
Mr Obama told the Australian Parliament America was "all in" in the Asia-Pacific, but his so-called pivot to Asia has done nothing to curb China's growing power and influence.
The United States has been the predominant power in our region since the end of World War II, yet China has been able to reclaim and militarise disputed islands in the South China Sea, raising fears of igniting a wider conflict.
China represents a new model of power: economic liberalism and political control.
Xi is part of a global return of the political strongman.
China has been part of a return of big-power politics.
As political commentator Robert Kagan wrote in The Return of History and The End of Dreams: "Today, a new configuration of power is reshaping the international order."
In Easternisation: War and Peace in the Asian Century, journalist Gideon Rachman argues the West, more broadly, is in decline and Asia is filling the void.
"The political, strategic and ideological dominance of the West is now under challenge," he writes.
Mr Trump came to power rejecting multilateral trade deals, talking protectionism, banning migrants and building walls.
He has questioned US military pacts and accused allies of freeloading.
It must make Joseph Nye nervous. In The Paradox of American Power he warned: "Our desire to go it alone may ultimately weaken us."
But at the Davos global leaders meeting, Trump may have softened, America first, he said, does not mean America alone.
Mr Trump has shown how mercurial he can be, but taken at his word a more capacious American leadership is a good sign.
It would be far too premature to count America out.
The United States is still the world's superpower, with the biggest economy and the most powerful military. It has enormous "soft power": the world watches its movies, listens to its music, carries its phones, works on its computers and wears its fashion.
American power has rightly been criticised at times as morally dubious and selective. It has been guilty of over reach and misadventure with disastrous consequences: The world is still dealing with the loss of life and upheaval from the war in Iraq.
But the history of the past half-century reminds us that American power, exercised effectively, is crucial.
It is American-backed regional security that has helped underwrite the rise of China.
Europe's idea of a post-nation future, has been possible because of its American security alliance.
As Mr Kagan wrote: "American power made it possible for Europeans to believe that power was no longer important."
Mr Trump may not be popular with much of the world, but that doesn't mean the world does not need him.
Right now, as he delivers his inaugural state of the union speech, he has an opportunity to remind the world just how important American power remains.
Some of us never forgot. But, make no mistake, allies need a certain level of mutual help to remain allies.
There is a perception in much of the world that America is a "fair weather friend".
They/you rescued us in Europe during the latter part of WWII. But America entered the fray late and charged its friends for the help - Britain, for instance, has only just finished paying that debt. - ................... Don't get me started on "operation paperclip"!
The way the Vietnamese who helped the Americans in their civil war were abandoned to their fate is, frankly, shameful.
In more recent times, where the Middle East is concerned, the list is huge of conflicts left hanging - as soon as America thinks it got a reasonable deal. I am often accused of being an Obamafile, but I blame him for his share of that shame.
Trump is simply doing publically, what his precedessors did covertly.
I am by no means anti-American. I applaud its ideals, its attempts at democracy (I say attempts, but that is no worse than any other country - mine included - and way better than most) and its efforts at justice (which can only be manufactured in tiny quantities, through gigantic efforts, by anyone). I envy and admire its freedoms. I love its written constitution. I like a lot of American people.
My country needs America. We are dependant upon it, like an aged and frail parent, alternately admiring and despairing in an exuberent child. Listen to mummy, Darlings: "Be carefull how many other children you anger. You may be the biggest kid in the playground, but the wimpy kids could band together and that Chineese neighbour is going through a growth spurt. ' Time to make a few reliable friends whom actually trust you."
In my opinion Putin is the one "in charge"of the globe by the mix of diplomacy and weapons. If China wants a New Silk Road Russia is building that road.
The US did believe the way to stay the only superpower was a military way. US cars were creating that much polution no other country (almost) allowed them. The US did not make TV screens, most of the electronics comes from East Asia. Trump does not improve relations with starting trade-wars. The petro-dollar is out-dated, for a fiat-currency trust is the main issue-in the US "trust in politics" "needs to be restored".
"US foreign policy has fallen short in several spheres" is like saying the Titanic had a good trip for as long as it lasted.
Both the US and the EU failed after the end of the Soviet Union. The US keeps failing in dealing with "new global players" wich want to join the game. In my opinion the US only has one choice-deal with Russia and China, make trade, not war. US-Russia-China can make this world a better place for all humans when they invest in "third world countries" (we only have ONE world-not three !).

William Eyre (1891-1979) - Mid 20th Century Oil, Mountain Stream, Galloway
A still and quiet view of a mountain stream in Galloway, a region in Southwest Scotland. The stream runs under a bridge, and is still enough to reveal a clear reflection of the trees and mountain beyond. A faint signature is visible to the lower left. The title of the painting has been inscribed on the reverse. Signed. On board.
Minor surface paint losses along left edge and to bottom left corner, but these losses would be concealed when the painting is framed. Inspection under UV light reveals no restoration.
35.9 x 54.3cm (14.1" x 21.4")
Sheet: 38.8 x 56cm (15.3" x 22")
Provenance: Many of the works in this collection were exhibited at the exhibition 'William Eyre: A Gentleman's Travels' by James Harvey at Mallett's, Chelsea, November 2008.

William Eyre (1891-1979) was a landscape painter of extraordinary talent who exhibited at the Croydon Art Society for the best part of twenty years, with the likes of Hesketh Hubbard, PRBA, ROI, FSA, Jack Merriott, RI, William Watkins, RI, William Fryer and Cicely Mary Barker.
In 1971, Eyre moved to North Wales where he remained for the rest of his life, however he still regularly contributed to the Croydon Art Society's exhibitions, although No longer put his works up for sale. His works record the myriad of places that he visited, not only in England but on the Continent, and cover all seasons, but it was the sublime landscapes of Northern Wales that proved to be his final and most haunting inspiration; he died there in 1979.
Eyre's works show considerable skill in the handling of both oil and watercolour, two very different mediums, and his landscapes have even been likened to Whistler. His confidence, sense of drama and simplicity of technique has also drawn comparisons with Cotman and there is a clear link to be made with the work of Edward Seago, seen in the soft play of light across Eyre's coastal landscapes.
Our collection of watercolours and oils by Eyre includes stunning views of the artist's beloved Welsh landscape, including Deganwy and Mawddasch Estuary. Other locations featured include Ludlow in Shropshire, Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, Woodbridge in Suffolk, Roundstone in Ireland, Windsor and many others. Most of the works are signed by the artist and titled and dated to the reverse.

Yes, I do flowers. I absolutely love wrapping up a bride bouquet. The bride selected dahlias and wanted a mix of oranges for her bouquet. Each color played off the others so beautifully. I added some soft, slivery lambs ear, bright pear-green foliage and a bit of very dark green and the colors and textures just jumped out in vivid glory. Just perfect for a late summer wedding.


One difference between BRONZ/COPPRclay and silver clay, is that the base metal clay can really stain your nails and skin. Gloves in a Bottle is a great way of avoiding this. Apply a small amount before you start working, especially under your nails, and your skin will be as if covered by a invisible (and un-feelable) glove! Re-apply every four hours. Gloves in a Bottle is also fantastic if you suffer from dry sensitive skin, eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis. It acts as a shielding lotion, so keeps "bad things" out, and good things (like moisture) in - perfect when gardening. It is unscented, non-greasy, non-sticky, and super-light so you wont feel it on your skin.

Relationship Between Telemachus And Odysseus
The Relationship between Telemachus and Odysseus his father is very different. First off, Telemachus has really never met his father but there is still some relation there. Telemachus longs to meet his father and have a relationship. It is very clear that Telemachus struggles to come to the fact that his father has been away for so long and questions at the beginning of the books if he will every come home. Once Telemachus is told by Athena in disguise that his father is still alive ( lines 220-228 in Fagles) he longs on a journey to try and find his dad to see if he is alive. From the other side Odysseus is very caring towards his own son. Some evidence of this is when Ms. Shank came to talk to the class and said that Odysseus wouldn't run

Even when in the Underworld, Anchises was longing for his son's visit. By asking "has the love your father hoped for mastered the hardship of the journey," Anchises is revealing that he was worried that Aeneas would not love him as much after all of the danger and peril Aeneas faces on the daily (Virgil, Aeneid, p. 205, 6.794-5). Anchises wants Aeneas to know that he has "open arms" even in death and he is always waiting for his son's return (Virgil, Aeneid, p. 205, 6.800). The same love is returned by Aeneas when he begs Anchises to not "withdraw from [his] embrace" (Virgil, Aeneid, p. 205, 6.806). Aeneas tries three times to hug his father.

Sonny's Blues Character Analysis
Although, this is not the only conflict in the story. Not only does the narrator struggle with helping his brother but he also blames himself for Sonny's outcome in life. He promised his mother to look after Sonny when she passed because "he ain't going to have nobody to look out for him" (259). The narrator seems to take on the responsibility of Sonny's fallen actions because he was off in the Army and left Sonny with Isabel's parents.
Process Recording Reflection
In return, this has been a battle that he struggles with because in conversation he often refers to strolling down memory lane. He seems to be lonely, therefore his son has moved back home to assist with caring for his father. Although, he has been diagnosed with cancer, he is still mental capable to make decision regarding his finances and health. As the student, when he began to disclose the nature of his two relationships the only thing I could do was to listen and let him reflect his true feelings. Through this experience we are beginning to establish trust and build a relationship.
Examples Of Inhumane In Night By Elie Wiesel
During the final days of Eliezer's father's death, Elie's father completely depends on Elie to bring him food, water, and keep him protected. When Eliezer discovers that his father has been taken away, he thinks to himself, "I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!..." (Wiesel, 112) When Elie searches through his "feeble conscience", or weak conscience, his mind is incapable of feeling anything towards his father.
Comparing Odysseus And Telemachus In Homer's Odyssey
Odysseus and Telemachus – Father and Son Relationship: In The Odyssey, I noticed that there were a lot of father and son relationships between a very good amount of characters in the story. For example, Poseidon and his son Polyphemus, Odysseus and Laertes, and the most important one, Odysseus and Telemachus. It becomes common that you will see this father-son relationship between these two, towards the books at the end of The Odyssey. A very important thing to remember is that they haven't seen each other in twenty years.
Telemachus Maturity In Odysseus In Homer's Odyssey
In Book Two of the Odyssey, Telemachus demonstrates his increasing maturity by confronting the suitors, gaining respect from the elders, and preparing to look for Odysseus. Telemachus demonstrates maturity in Book Two of the Odyssey by confronting the suitors face on. By gathering the suitors together he can talk to them about what he wants to happen from now on. By confronting the suitors Telemachus gains maturity because he is taking a leadership role. He also is gaining maturity from confronting the suitors because he is facing his fears.
Telemachus Life In Odysseus In Homer's Odyssey
Telemachus' life serves as the gateway to Odysseus' legacy. The egocentric nature in which Telemachus describes Odysseus' assumed fate strengthens the idea that Odysseus' legacy lies in Telemachus' life on earth. The idea of "great fame for years to come" is reflected through Telemachus' life because Telemachus is both the physical and the figurative link between Odysseus and the mortal, living world (Ody. I.279). Telemachus' mention of the gods' "vengeance" by killing Odysseus elaborates on a more general juxtaposition – the gods, who are immortal, control humans' mortality (Ody. 272). However, the gods don't have control over a legacy, as storytelling is a human activity.
