From birth control, to DACA, to a passive aggressive comment aimed at firing Robert Mueller, Trump employed campaign rhetoric to remain divisive.
Preparing to listen to Donald Trump speak for 90 minutes on the state of our union, when Politifact reports that 69 percent of his statements generally are either mostly or completely false and only 4 percent are completely true, took some suspension of disbelief.
He opened with overtures towards inclusion. He mentioned making American great "for all Americans" and spoke of the "optimism" that swept the nation over the last year. He mentioned his pride for the fact that unemployment rates for African Americans are at an all-time low, which is true , though there aren't any specific measures Trump has enacted to ensure this, and the trend of falling unemployment rates among African Americans began six years ago .
Trump touted the tax bill as a huge win for lower and middle class Americans. And while it is true that the $24,000 standard deduction enacted this year will apply to low and middle income families, some tax breaks have an expiration date. Those who will continue to see benefits past the ten year mark are the wealthiest Americans, large corporations and increases the deficit to the tune of $4.1 trillion.
By far the most specific plan he laid out related to immigration reform.
Trump kept the tone self-congratulatory as he touted a gutting of a crucial element of Obamacare – the individual mandate – as a way to give relief to low income Americans who didn't want to pay for health care. Without the individual mandate, universal healthcare is much less tenable.
Looking towards the future, Trump turned up the nationalistic nastiness and announced that he had just signed an order to re-examine the military detention policy and to keep the prison at Guantanamo open. He stood by his plans to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel. He vowed to "totally defend our second amendment rights and take historic actions to defend religious liberty", which is a thinly veiled effort to limit women's access to birth control and reproductive services.
Trump spoke of ending "the war on beautiful clean coal", and he asked Congress to move ahead with a $1.5 trillion plan for infrastructure investment. With a line about "standing for our national anthem", he attempted to shame the players who have followed the lead of Colin Kaepernick to exercise their right to peaceful protest. Trump then called on Congress "to empower every cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers - and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people." This was seen by many as a shot at special counsel Robert Mueller.
"Government should not be a battering ram used to hold us back, deny our rights, and tear us down."
But by far the most specific plan he laid out related to immigration reform.
After a devastating depiction of two families crushed by the MS-13 gang on Long Island, he praised ICE officials for their work, saying they "sent thousands and thousands of MS 13 horrible people out of this country" and asking for reinforcements for ICE. There was no mention of ways ICE might make their process more precise, or of the horror stories of some young Latino families torn apart when their children were falsely suspected of being in MS-13 .
After that, Trump extended a large middle finger to Democrats dressed up as olive branch: a path to citizenship for 1.8 million people who were brought here at a young age. He pointed out that that was "three times more people than the previous administration had covered." These "dreamers" would be eligible for full citizenship over a twelve year period. The second pillar is a "great wall on our southern border". The third would end the visa lottery, otherwise known as the diversity lottery. And the fourth would end family-based migration, which the President refers to as "chain migration". Ending family-based migration would fundamentally change the way the American immigration system works and has always worked.
"I hope that the president is able to find compassion in his heart and move beyond the current proposed plan to one that honors the inherent empathy of our great nation."
Ryan Eller, Executive Director of Define American, had his own words for the proposed deal.


A major focus for MongoDB 3.0 has been improving performance, especially write performance and hardware utilization. We'll measure it with YCSB.
In YCSB tests, MongoDB 3.0 provides around 7x the throughput of MongoDB 2.6 for multi-threaded, batch inserts. We should expect to see the biggest improvement for this workload because it is 100% writes, and WiredTiger's document-level concurrency control is most beneficial to multi-threaded write workloads on servers with many processor cores.
The default configuration for YCSB uses one thread. With a single thread you will likely observe fairly poor throughput with any database. Don't use a single threaded benchmark unless your application runs single threaded. Single threaded tests really only measure latency, not throughput, and capacity planning should consider both factors.

We all know that a sitting job can be harmful for our back. Unpleasantness, pain and muscle cramps are just some of the issues we all face.
If you don't have the time and money to go and have a massage by a professional, you should try these simple and effective exercises that can help you in dealing with the back pain.
Place your hands behind your head, hold your elbows in a locked position and keep your hands behind the neck. Try to push your elbows as far back as you can, breathe in, spread your hands and push your chest back.
After exhaling, return to the starting position and try to push your chest back again. Repeat this exercise 5 times.
Breathe in slowly while moving your shoulders back and stretching the chest. Try to bring your shoulder as close to each other as you possibly can.
As you exhale, bend your back, put your shoulders forward and lower your head and neck towards the chest. Do this exercise 8 times.
Breathe in and straighten your back. As you exhale, turn your body towards the back of the chair and keep your back straight.
Put your hands on the back of the chair. Stay in this position for 30 seconds and take 5 deep breaths. Afterwards, turn for the other side and do this exercise 3 times for each side.
Put one of your hands on the chair and place the other arm straight up while slowly bending one the opposite side of the stretched arm. Do this exercise 10 times for each hand.
Stretch your body forward, feel the tension from stretching and try to touch your hips with your stomach. Keep your back straight.
Maintain this position for about 30 seconds. Take 5 deep breath and then do it on the other side.
Do this exercise 2 or 3 times for each side.


A Woman's Place is governed by a talented group of community leaders who are committed to seeking justice for domestic violence victims and preventing the continuation of relationship abuse in Weld County.
During my career in education at Aims Community College, I participated in Leadership Greeley and served on several United Way committees. Upon retirement, I wanted to continue to be positively involved in our community and thought that perhaps I could serve/volunteer in the non-profit arena. As my interests include advocating for women and children (as well as education for all), A Woman's Place was a natural fit for me. AWP contributes significantly to our community by offering safe housing and by supporting, educating, and mentoring those who have unfortunately suffered from domestic violence.
Serving on the Board for A Woman's Place provides a great opportunity for me to give back to our community. I have been so blessed by my family and I believe everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home. A Woman's Place offers invaluable services to the people of Weld County.
Serving on the Board of A Woman's Place has been an honor and a privilege. At one point in my life, I was a victim of domestic violence and felt there was no way out or around my devastating situation. I thank God for people in my life that were there to mentor and guide me; because of them I can say "I am a survivor." Being a part of this great nonprofit organization is a way for me to give back, pay it forward and to hopefully let others know they too can overcome and eventually grow from their circumstances. AWP is a place for people to rest and recover and learn how to move on to a meaningful, respectful way of life. I am very proud to say I am a part of this organization.
I was an officer for the Greeley Police Department for 11 years and A Woman's Place was a huge resource for me as a police officer. I am thankful for A Woman's Place and honored to be on the Board to give back to the Greeley Community.
As a Sergeant with the Greeley Police Department, I have seen first-hand the damaging effects of domestic abuse. The victims in these cases have a tremendous support system within A Woman's Place. I am grateful for the opportunity to be on the Board of Directors, and look forward to actively supporting this important resource for the community.

Coexisting with Gray Wolves
Larry Travis
Quinn Read, Pamela Flick, and John Murtaugh
Gray wolf range over time.
Though wolves were once one of North America's most broadly distributed large mammals, European colonization, westward expansion, and systematic killing quickly pushed wolves towards the brink of extinction. By the 1930s, wolves were nearly eradicated from the Lower 48 and the known wolf population in the continental U.S. plummeted from estimates of several hundred thousand to only a few hundred wolves in northern Minnesota.
But 25 years ago, gray wolves were restored to Yellowstone National Park and to the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness of central Idaho. This reintroduction was a breakthrough in conservation and the benefits of having this keystone species on the landscape are on full display in the ecosystems of the northern Rockies.
As wolves have returned, the age-old conflicts that led to their demise have also re-emerged. The most significant conflicts are based on fear of livestock losses, even though in the last two decades, less than one percent of livestock losses were due to wolves. The greatest challenge now is to build acceptance and appreciation for wolves, which Defenders strives to do by bringing people together to learn how to live with this magnificent, native species once again.
Defenders has extensive experience in coexistence – promoting and implementing effective nonlethal tools and techniques to reduce conflicts between wildlife and livestock throughout the country. Because wolves are fearful of humans, an active human presence on the range can be invaluable. Range riders patrol where livestock graze, deter predators and keep tabs on the herd to ensure its health and well-being. In addition, by training mother cows to stay with their calves and to find security in the herd when threatened, we are rekindling the wild instincts of our cattle; instincts which keep them safer from predators. Tools include the use of specialized fencing called fladry, randomized strobe lights like Foxlights, and noise makers to discourage wolves from getting too close to livestock. While these tools are proven to be effective in minimizing predator-livestock conflict, nothing can replace good livestock husbandry practices. More information on these strategies to reduce conflicts can be found in Defenders' own Livestock and Wolves: Guide to Nonlethal Tools and Methods to Reduce Conflicts.
ODFW
Russ Talmo/Defenders of Wildlife
We work with ranchers and landowners to minimize wolf-livestock interactions through the training of these techniques and the use of nonlethal tools that encourage wolves to select their natural ungulate prey of deer and elk instead of domesticated livestock. We host workshops to give ranchers as many options as possible to keep their livestock safe; we don't want to see livestock killed because of wolves and we don't want to see wolves persecuted due to conflicts with livestock.
A pack with pups was confirmed in July 2008 in northeastern Washington, representing the first fully documented breeding by wolves in the state since the 1930s. A year later, gray wolves marked their return to Oregon when the first pack was officially recognized in northeastern part of the state. Over the next decade, wolves began to return to their historical territory and slowly disperse to other parts of the Pacific Northwest and California. The population is on an upward trend, but anti-wolf sentiments that threaten wolves' continued recovery still run high.
Defenders works closely with a wide variety of partners – state fish and wildlife agencies and commissions, elected officials, ranchers, recreationists, activists, and other conservation organizations – to advocate for policies and practices that will ensure continued wolf recovery. Washington has begun the process to update its wolf plan in anticipation of wolf delisting and Defenders is already working hard to make sure that the plan is based on the best available science and prioritizes nonlethal methods of reducing wolf-livestock conflicts.
We complement our policy work by working directly with communities sharing the landscape with wolves. Defenders seeks to engage new and diverse audiences in our coexistence work, and we convene workshops with community partners to share information about wolf-livestock conflict deterrence methods and to facilitate meaningful and transformative conversations about coexistence. We also provide direct assistance in wolf-livestock conflict hotspots by working with landowners to assess their needs and install and maintain a variety of conflict deterrence tools.
The Blue Mountain Wolf Project is an active wolf and livestock coexistence demonstration model in northeast Oregon that employs sheepherders from Peru. Defenders organized a bi-lingual training workshop in the project area, engaging Peruvian herders from our collaborative wolf coexistence effort, the Wood River Wolf Project in Idaho, to train the Peruvian sheepherders in Oregon in effective nonlethal methods to protect sheep. These experienced herders and managers primarily conducted the workshop in Spanish for the new herders, and it was translated in English for the wildlife managers from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, USDA Wildlife Services Oregon staff, local livestock managers and wildlife advocates.
Defenders works with USDA Wildlife Services and CDFW to provide conflict reduction tools to landowners and livestock managers and help deploy them in areas where wolves and livestock overlap, which has been incredibly successful in reducing unwanted encounters. Just two weeks ago, we helped install turbofladry on private land in Lassen County with these partners. Requests for assistance with coexistence strategies have been steadily increasing over the past few years, and Defenders is answering the call by working on the ground with livestock producers and our agency partners to help keep both livestock and wolves safe from harm in northern California.
Pamela Flick
Partners from California Department of Fish and Wildlife, USDA Wildlife Services and Defenders of Wildlife assist a landowner in Plumas County remove turbofladry once the Lassen Pack moved to its summer range in Lassen County (left). Nearly 80 participants attended the Wolf Workshop and Demonstration Day in Hat Creek, California, to learn more about wolf ecology and behavior, and to get an up-close look at several conflict reduction tools, including turbofladry, demonstrated here (right).
The Next Frontier: Colorado
This summer, a lone male from the Snake River pack in Wyoming made his way to Colorado, a state without a wolf population for over 70 years. Habitat connectivity for wolves, as for many other species, remains a challenge and except for a few adventurous wanderers who make it out of protected areas and through hostile states like Wyoming, there are no resident wolves in Colorado.
CO Parks & Wildlife
Defenders is working to change that. For decades, polling has indicated that Coloradans want wolves. The Centennial State remains a missing piece in connecting wolf populations from Canada to Mexico. This year, Defenders of Wildlife joined the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund in an effort to reintroduce gray wolves to Colorado through a ballot measure and we've begun the process to enable Coloradans to vote on a referendum directing Colorado Parks and Wildlife to begin the planning process for wolf reintroductions to the state by 2023.
Robin Poole
Of course, physically returning wolves to Colorado is only a small part of our recipe for success. Whether they cross into the state on their own or are actively reintroduced, the people of Colorado want to be sure they can successfully coexist with wolves. That's why our efforts to promote nonlethal tools and techniques continue in Colorado. We are working to share these concepts with our ranching partners throughout the state and to prepare for the presence of wolves before they arrive. By connecting with people working on the ground, we are developing relationships necessary for cooperation and giving livestock producers the tools they need to succeed in a landscape restored with one of its native predators.
With the largest elk herd in the lower 48 and a robust population of deer, Colorado has ample prey and habitat to sustain wolves. With state residents adding to that support, we are well on our way to seeing wolf restoration in Colorado, but success hinges on our relationships and our ability to work together.
A single disperser in Colorado is cause for excitement, but it is a bittersweet discovery, as this individual will likely not be able to find a mate or have pups. However, the same thing was said about OR-7 before he sired 17 pups, some going on to form their own packs. Anything is possible, and Defenders is ready to support wolves and the people coexisting alongside them in all states as they return to the landscapes they once called home.

Pet Graveyard (2019)
A group of teens are tormented by the Grim Reaper and his pet after undergoing an experiment that allows them to revisit the dead.
Director Rebecca Matthews (feature debut) brings horror to the screen in Pet Graveyard. Four friends incant spells and mysticism to cross to the other side and visit the dead, but they are going to bring something back.
Beginning with an early kill - to, you know, kick things off - Matthews places the story firmly in the realm of the supernatural. A young couple pull into a garage, one of them is injured, and something is reaching out from the ether to torment them. It's a good start. Cut to years later, and we are introduced to the cast (read: victims) of the tale. Expecting (from the cover) to be retreading the ground of a Pet Sematary copycat (pun intended), the film plays out more like a mash between Flatliners and Final Destination.
Each of the cast have lost someone - someone that they never got to say goodbye to. They believe that they can visit the otherside and say their piece, bringing peace to their minds. This all kicks off the events, and needless to say, things don't go well.
Matthews does a solid job - the sets for the most part are very good, and there are some good shot choices. For a micro-budget horror, the film looks and feels pretty snazzy too. The camera work and editing are good, and the soundtrack on point.
The cast has some stand outs, of course. The best player in the main cast is Rita Siddiqui (Hate Story IV) as Zara, seeking closure over the death of her brother. A quick cameo from Hattie Willow (feature debut) hits the spot too.
Our protagonist, Lily, played by Jessica Otoole (feature debut) does a good job. With David Cotter (feature debut) playing as her (rather unlikable) brother, and Hindolo Koroma (Abusing Protocol) rounding off those with most screentime. To be fair, they do a solid job for having such little experience. You wouldn't know.
Writer Suzy Spade (The Viking War) has put together an unexpected story, it's well written, and not without surprises. The film isn't laced with jump scares, thanks to Matthews, and there is a creeping dread throughout. It moves with a good pace too - some effective deaths - probably not enough to sate the gore fans - but certainly enough to make it a horror. Outside of some minor blips in character actions and story choices, there is little not too like.
It bodes well for the future of all involved.


Here's where I'll post things I do by hand (I'm left-handed, by the way). Drawings, doodles, etc. Please note that I'm not a professional drawer, nor have I been doing drawing for many years since I was five years old or something like that. So don't be overly surprised or icked out if they look...well...crappy. And, please, no put downs or harsh comments. Constructive criticism is okay...but nothing negative.
And please don't forget to read the introduction and information about the scrapbook section if you haven't done so, already. Thank you.
Comments: Another assignment I had for my sociology/psychology class. Again, I had to either write or draw for this assignment. This time it was for explaining or describing the Theories of Motivation. I thought the drawings came out really cute and I absolutely loved how it turned out. I especially love how I drew out the third panel, "Evolutionary."
Comments: This is actually an assignment I had for my sociology/psychology class. I had to either write or draw out an explanation of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I ended up doing both -- writing a bit, and drawing some examples. Sure, it's not exactly a "(doing) serious drawing" as with all my past ones, but I still like how it turned out. And I got an A on it, anyways.
Comments: Hah, I like the quote I put for her...that's why she has a raised eyebrow. It's quite fitting, I think. I was testing out with drawing a different sort of clothing, though, rather than the expression. Hence the jacket with its wavy collar. I really love how this drawing turned out -- I thought her hair turned out exceptionally pretty.
Comments: Pretty much my first attempt at "fanart"--that is, drawing a character created by someone else. Since one of my biggest obsessions is Yu-Gi-Oh, I decided to draw Seto Kaiba from the anime. Truthfully, I thought he would be one of the easier characters to draw since he didn't have an outrageous hair style like Yugi... Ironically, though, it's the very thing that screwed me over. I drew his bangs too long on the right side of his face. And since I didn't really want to go through the pain of trying to do it all over again, I just opted to have that one eye "hidden" in the shadows.

The Genesee Community College Archives collection was started by Betty Lane, original assistant dean of the Alfred C. O'Connell Library. Betty established the library when the college opened its doors in August of 1967, and collected many college-related materials throughout her long career at the college until her first retirement in 1990. In 1991 she returned in a new part-time capacity as Archivist and began the process of formally organizing the Archives collection. When the library was renovated in 2000, a small room was designated to house the growing collection. Betty retired from Genesee for the second time in 2008 and her legacy and mission of collecting the college's past has been taken up by current librarians.


Joseph T. & Charles R. Donnell - Sagadahoc County, ME.
Joseph Toppan Donnell was born in Newburyport, Mass., in the year 1815, where, with his father, who carried on the business of rope making, he learned the trade, and in the year 1843, together with his brother, George, came to Bath and built the rope walk and carried on the business of rope making and the manufacture of all kinds of cordage under the firm name of G. & J. T. Donnell. In 1880, owing to the decease of George, the name of the firm was changed to J. T. Donnell, which continued until 1890, when the business was changed into a corporation under the name of the Donnell Cordage Co. Mr. Donnell withdrew from any active participation in the business, although he held the position of president of the new corporation. Mr. Donnell was, at different times, a member of both branches of the City Government, but had no political ambitions. He was a very successful business man, though conservative, and carried on for forty seven years one of the very few manufacturing establishments of Bath. He died in July, 1893.
Charles R. Donnell, a son of J. T. Donnell, was born in Bath, in 1846; graduated from the high school in 1863, and immediately went into the rope walk of G. & J. T. Donnell and learned the trade and business. In 1880 he made one of the firm of J. T. Donnell & Co. In 1890 he was instrumental in forming the Donnell Cordage Co., of which he was elected treasurer and general manager, which position he now holds, 1893. He married, in 1874, Ella M. Mooers, and they have two children, a daughter, Florence K, and a son, Charles J.


Women have an unshakable position in human development. Nowadays, many women have outstanding careers, exquisite makeup, economic independence and elegance. Especially the high-end workplace women's perception of luxury goods often exceeds the understanding of the market economy Boys.
In addition to some elite women, there are full-time mothers, full-time mothers are looking forward to elite women, senior professional wear, dresses, high heels, luxury bags, world watches, and a resolute work attitude, while the elite women in the workplace are looking forward to the daily life of full-time mothers. The full-time mother cooks a warm hearty breakfast for the beloved family, gives the account a deep affection, gives the child a sweet kiss, then draws a beautiful makeup on her own, drinks tea with her girlfriend, chats and talks, and talks about home.
No matter who is the majority of women's pursuits and keywords, it is still "beautiful", graceful, exquisite makeup, stylish and elegant. A calm jacket, a unique skirt, a newest bag, an extraordinary female watch, these can give any woman the best weapon to eliminate troubles. Out of respect and understanding of women, we have specially launched bandage dresses, high-end professional models, elegant mothers, whether in cocktail parties, dance parties, private parties, girlfriends parties, as long as you want, we can meet The major women demand.


Serious, potentially lethal bleeding may occur while taking Brilinta. See Black Box Warning.
Brilinta may cause bradyarrhythmia or lowered heart rate.
Breast enlargment in men, although rare, has occurred in some patients taking Brilinta.
The most common side effects include less serious bleeding, coughing, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
Brilinta may occasionally cause nosebleeds and shortness of breath (dyspnea).
Brilinta may cause or lead to potentially fatal bleeding. The patient should not take Brilinta if active pathological bleeding, such as a peptic ulcer or bleeding inside the skull, is present.
Patients about to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery should not start Brilinta treatment.
Quit taking Brilinta at least 5 days before surgery.
Brilinta may aggravate or cause severe bleeding in patients who have undergone or are undergoing heart surgery.
Discontinuing Brilinta may increase the chance of having another serious cardiac such as heart attack.
Daily doses of Aspirin over 100 mg may greatly reduce the efficacy of Brilinta.
Patients with a history of liver failure or impaired liver function should not take Brilinta. However, if liver problems are less severe, the patient should discuss using Brilinta with their doctor.
Brilinta is a pregnancy category class C drug. In animal tests, the drug caused birth defects and abnormalities. Brilinta may pass through breast milk during breastfeeding.
Do not take Brilinta while taking Phenobarbital, Carbamazepine, or Ritonavir.
Digoxin levels should be monitored if the patient is taking both Digoxin and Brilinta.
Brilinta | Ticagrelor is an antiplatelet, or blood thinner, medication prescribed to prevent additional heart attacks in patients who have previously had one. Brilinta was recently approved for U.S. sale in July of 2011 and is marketed by AstraZeneca.
Brilinta works to deter platelets from sticking together, which may ultimately lead to thrombosis (blood clot), heart attack, or a stroke.
Brilinta is available in 90 mg tablet form. The initial dose is 180 mg as well as a 325 mg loading dose of aspirin. After this, take 90 mg of Brilinta twice a day and 75-100 mg of aspirin daily. A daily aspirin dose over 100 mg will lower the efficacy of Brilinta.

Q: Set a css property to screen width using css Is there any way to set a css property to the screen width?
What I want to achieve is something close to this:
div{width: screen width; }

Or
.divTest{width: screen width; }

Edit 1:
I would like to use the class to exactly size other elements with the current width as i choose with css.
Edit 2:
I don't believe it can be done without scripting of some sort but what do I know.
Edit 3: Final Thoughts
A post about the widow re-sizing script using JavaScript is here in Alex V's answer. You'd just add in the script flavor you want. In my case it'd be setting a class property. However I believe setting visual attributes with JavaScript can be bad practice/undesirable in certain uses.

A: Try width: 100vw; or as the above comment suggests, width: 100%;.
You may also want to set the meta tag in the HTML if it applies:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Edit:
If the <div> isn't fitting 100% of the screen width, perhaps you need to have the default margin/padding reset:
*, :before, :after {
    box-sizing: border-box; // habit
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

A: Generally, a div, if it's set to display:block (which is the default in most browsers, I believe) will expand to the full width of it's parent. If you want it to be the full width of the screen, it really depends on the way your page is configured.
If the div is within another element that is only set to width:500px or any other size, the div will only be the width of the parent. But if div's parent is the html body, then it should be the full width of the screen.
I've been smacking my head around on html and css a lot lately, and the best tool I've found to figure out CSS issues like this is Chrome's developer tools. You can actually right-click and "inspect" the div you are looking at. Then you can try out all the different css settings you want and Chrome will show you in real-time what effect those things will have.

A: Viewport units for CSS
vw, vh
1vw = 1% of viewport width
1vh = 1% of viewport height

Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) dealing with the Civilian Sector of the State
Eng. Dr. Hany Al-Noqrashi: The Energy as being the Key Driving Force for Water and Population
• In The Symposium of Sino-African Cooperation…And Communication Among Peoples
The Egyptian Council for foreign Affairs hosted a lecture, delivered by Air Force Major General of Staff/ Hesham Al-Halaby, on "Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW)", on Monday 8th of April 2019. The symposium was opened by Ambassador Mounir Zahran, Chairman of the Council, and was attended by an elite group of diplomats and academics concerned with the topic of the lecture; among them were Their Excellencies Ambassadors/ No'aman Galal, Mohamed Al-Ashmawy, Farouq Mabrouk, and Osama Tawfiq; Professor Dr. Ahmad Al-Darsh, Dr. Eng. Afaf Ameen, and Mr. Ahmad Abu Shady.
Dr. Hesham Al-Halaby indicated that, in military sciences, there are a large group of divisions linked to the generations of warfare. One of the most important of such divisions was what has been presented, by an American group headed by the Strategic Thinker William Leen in 1989, in which Fourth Generation Warfare has been mentioned. In accordance with the State's strategic view, it is divided into Two sectors, a civilian sector and a military sector. What mostly characterizes the Three previous generations of warfare was that their aim was to mainly destroy the armed forces of the enemy state and then deal with its civilian sector. But Fourth Generation Warfare (4Gw) is an asymmetric warfare that mainly aims at firstly dealing with the civilian sector of the enemy state in preparation for taking control over it without the minimal involvement in military confrontation with the army of that state whether over its territories, the territories of other states, or even through the use of war proxies.
Targeting the civilian sector of the state, waging psychological warfare with all its tools, depending on terrorism, encouraging demonstrations under the pretext of peacefulness then committing assault against individuals, penetrating civil society organizations, and diversifying the use of all possible means of pressure on all economic, political, social, and military fields of the targeted state, with the taking into account of the various regional and international pressure sources, are among the means and methods used in Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW). As means of protection against this warfare, efforts must be made to spread vigilance and awareness and to conduct scientific analysis of domestic, regional, and international events through strong and specialized institutions. And that would be the safety valve for any state wishing to maintain its national security. On the other hand, disagreements and differences among individuals within the same state must be respected and that is to be achieved through programs and training given to various age groups.

Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was established in March of 1952 to serve the growing Catholic population in northwest Stockton. Our first Masses were celebrated in the old Five-Mile House, on Pacific Avenue at Rivara Road. One of our early parishioners remembers the altar consisting of a board being supported by two barrels with a sheet over it.
It was not until March of the following year that we moved to our current location in what had been an alfalfa patch on Benjamin Holt Drive. It was completed at a cost of $130,000.
The first Mass in the church was celebrated on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 1953. The formal dedication of the church was on February 4, 1954 by the Most Reverend Hugh A. Donohoe, Auxiliary Bishop of San Francisco. Rev. John F. Quinn, our founding Pastor, ensured that the foundation of our parish reflected the teachings and values of the Gospel. This foundation is present today and has lived every Sunday for the past 60 years. Facilities at the time included a convent, parish hall and rectory.
In September of 1965, Presentation Parish School opened its doors. Our fine school was under the direction of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary who had come from Dubuque, Iowa to teach. This same order had staffed our school well in to the 1990s when lay teachers eventually assumed the instructing and administrative positions.
As the Church community outgrew the existing church building, plans were developed for an expansion of the campus as early as the 1980s. However, with a devastating total fire in November 1999, construction plans were changed. A much larger church was built on the original site and dedicated by Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton in November of 2001. This development included a Community Center/Gymnasium, multipurpose room, a couple meeting rooms and additional classroom space. With the construction of the church complete, plans for the future of Presentation Parish continued into the final phase, with architects working on plans to redesign the original convent, into a new space for our growing Youth Ministries. The design changes created a more appropriate space for the Religious Education Program, Life Teen and the Extended Day Care/Toddler programs. The Youth Center was rededicated in honor of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on November 18, 2007.
The dramatic spiritual growth and fellowship of our Presentation community in the past twenty years has been remarkable. Since the beginning of our Parish Renewal Weekends in 1983, we have seen our parish develop into an enthusiastic, loving and caring Catholic community. Our parish members are also offered new spiritual experiences in Cursillos, Life in the Spirit seminars, Growth in the Spirit seminars, Marriage Enrichment, Engagement Encounter weekends and numerous other retreats. Presentation Church truly offers something for everyone to grow in their relationship with God. Our parish, the Diocese of Stockton, and many other organizations provide opportunities and activities to further our community spirit. Wherever you look, and wherever there is a need our list grows, along with our enthusiasm! The Presentation Ministry Team sincerely thanks everyone who has contributed to the growth of the Parish. We extend a warm welcome to everyone, young and old, new and longtime parishioners to join in Presentation's progress and future growth. We pray that God will continue to bless our parish and the City of Stockton.

Q: R - split large dataframe into list in parallel I have a large transaction dataset (around 5 million rows), i need to split all transactions by ID (around 1 million unique ID). The expected results would be unique ID with item in lists.
I did try the most simple and direct way to split the transaction dataset (by referring to Why is split inefficient on large data frames with many groups? ), i know that convert dataframe into datatable might be more efficient.
Sample source df
set.seed(123)
n = 500000 #number of sample data (500k as trial)
x <- data.frame(ID = paste(LETTERS[1:8],sample(1:round(n/3), n, replace = TRUE),sep = ""),
                Item= sample(c('apple','orange','lemon','tea','rice'), n, replace=TRUE)
                )

Convert character to factor
x$ID <- as.character(x$ID)
x$Item <- as.factor(x$Item)

Convert df into dt, then split dt into lists
library(data.table)
x <- as.data.table(x)
system.time(
  xx <- split(x$Item, x$ID)
)

Expected results in lists
head(xx, 2)
#$A100
#[1] tea    orange
#Levels: apple lemon orange rice tea

#$A101
#[1] rice
#Levels: apple lemon orange rice tea

Problem: After running for 2 hours, on my machine (4 cores, 16Gb RAM, Win10, R 3.4.3) it still running and never completes. I did check my CPU usage when it's running, it only consumed 35-40% of the CPU usage.
My idea:
I'm thinking is there any way to fully utilized the computational power of my machine (run the "split" in parallel), using only detectCores() - 1 = 3 cores.
1st: Split the large transaction dataset by IDs into 3 smaller partitions (smaller dataset)
2nd: Using foreach loop to run split 3 partitions (smaller dataset) into list in parallel, then append(row bind) each list for every iteration until the end.
Question: Is my idea practical? i did read about mclapply and it's mc.cores, but seems like mc.cores = 1 is the only option for windows, so it won't help for my case. Is there any better and more efficient way to do the split for large dataset? Any comment is welcome, Thanks!

A: Surprisingly and interestingly, consider by (the object-oriented wrapper to tapply) which operates similarly as split on data frames with an added feature to run splits into a function call. The equivalent to split would be to return the argument or call identity.
by(x$Item, x$ID, function(x) x)

by(x$Item, x$ID, identity)

Do note, the return of by is a by class object which essentially is a list with additional attributes.
Using your random data frame example, base::split did not finish after 1 hour, but base::by did well below 5 mins on my machine with a 64 GB RAM! Usually, I assumed by would have more overhead being a sibling to the apply family but my opinion may soon change.
50K ROW EXAMPLE
set.seed(123)
n = 50000 #number of sample data (50k as trial)
x <- data.frame(ID = paste(LETTERS[1:8],sample(1:round(n/3), n, replace = TRUE),sep = ""),
                Item= sample(c('apple','orange','lemon','tea','rice'), n, replace=TRUE)
)

system.time( xx <- split(x$Item, x$ID) )
#   user  system elapsed
#  20.09    0.00   20.09

system.time( xx2 <- by(x$Item, x$ID, identity) )
#   user  system elapsed
#   1.55    0.00    1.55

all.equal(unlist(xx), unlist(xx2))
# [1] TRUE

identical(unlist(xx), unlist(xx2))
# [1] TRUE

500K ROW EXAMPLE
set.seed(123)
n = 500000 #number of sample data (500k as trial)
x <- data.frame(ID = paste(LETTERS[1:8],sample(1:round(n/3), n, replace = TRUE),sep = ""),
                Item= sample(c('apple','orange','lemon','tea','rice'), n, replace=TRUE)
)

system.time( xx <- split(x$Item, x$ID) )
# DID NOT FINISH AFTER 1 HOUR

system.time( xx2 <- by(x$Item, x$ID, identity) )
#   user  system elapsed
#  23.00    0.06   23.09

Source code reveals split.default might run more processes at the R (unlike C or Fortran) level with a for loop across factor levels:
getAnywhere(split.data.frame)

function (x, f, drop = FALSE, sep = ".", lex.order = FALSE, ...)
{
    if (!missing(...))
        .NotYetUsed(deparse(...), error = FALSE)
    if (is.list(f))
        f <- interaction(f, drop = drop, sep = sep, lex.order = lex.order)
    else if (!is.factor(f))
        f <- as.factor(f)
    else if (drop)
        f <- factor(f)
    storage.mode(f) <- "integer"
    if (is.null(attr(x, "class")))
        return(.Internal(split(x, f)))
    lf <- levels(f)
    y <- vector("list", length(lf))
    names(y) <- lf
    ind <- .Internal(split(seq_along(x), f))
    for (k in lf) y[[k]] <- x[ind[[k]]]
    y
}

Conversely, source code for by.data.frame reveals a call to tapply which itself is a wrapper to lapply:
getAnywhere(by.data.frame)

function (data, INDICES, FUN, ..., simplify = TRUE)
{
    if (!is.list(INDICES)) {
        IND <- vector("list", 1L)
        IND[[1L]] <- INDICES
        names(IND) <- deparse(substitute(INDICES))[1L]
    }
    else IND <- INDICES
    FUNx <- function(x) FUN(data[x, , drop = FALSE], ...)
    nd <- nrow(data)
    structure(eval(substitute(tapply(seq_len(nd), IND, FUNx,
        simplify = simplify)), data), call = match.call(), class = "by")
}

A: The factors seems to be the key here. I don't have 64GB RAM  but maybe you can try again with stringsAsFactors = F. My results for a smaller test are below and it seems split is quite faster when not using factors.

n <- 50000

x <- data.frame(ID = paste(LETTERS[1:8],sample(1:round(n/3), n, replace = TRUE),sep = ""),
                Item= sample(c('apple','orange','lemon','tea','rice'), n, replace=TRUE),
                stringsAsFactors = T
)

x2 <- data.frame(ID = paste(LETTERS[1:8],sample(1:round(n/3), n, replace = TRUE),sep = ""),
                Item= sample(c('apple','orange','lemon','tea','rice'), n, replace=TRUE),

Chinese Christians Mark Holy WeekChinese Catholics hold candles at a mass on Holy Saturday during Easter celebrations at the government sanctioned West Beijing Catholic Church on April 15, 2017 in Beijing, China. China, an officially atheist country, places a number of restrictions on Christians, allowing legal practice of the faith only at state-approved churches. The policy has driven an increasing number of Christians and Christian converts 'underground' to congregations in private homes and other venues. While the size of the religious community is difficult to measure, studies estimate there are more than 80 million Christians inside China; some studies support the possibility it could become the most Christian nation in the world in the coming years. Officially there have been no relations between China and the Vatican since the country's modern founding in 1949 though in recent years there have been signs of warming relations between Chinese president Xi Jinping and Pope Francis that could possibly allow greater religious freedom in the future. At present, the split means approved Chinese Christians worship within a state-sanctioned Church known as the Patriotic Association which regards the Communist Party as its leader, not the Pope in Rome.

Trump And The American Future
In this insightful call to action, New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich explains what is at stake in the 2020 elections -- and why Donald Trump must be re-elected. The 2020 election will be a decisive choice for America, especially as we emerge from the coronavirus crisis. Will the American people choose four more years of President Trump to lead us back to strong economic growth, a foreign and trade policy of putting American interests first, dismantling the deep state, and dramatically reforming the bureaucracies? Or will they reject Trumpism and elect the radical Democratic policies of big government, globalism, and socialist policies that Joe Biden represents? Not since the election of 1964 has the choice in an election been so stark. Trump and the American Future by Newt Gingrich will lay out the stakes of the 2020 election and provide a clarion call for all Americans on why it is vital to return President Trump to the White House for a second term. Featuring insights gleaned from the lifetime of experience and access only Newt Gingrich can bring, Trump and the American Future will be crucial reading for every citizen who wants to continue to make America great again.

The Future Of U S Empire In The Americas
With the rise of President Trump, many are coming to question where the United States (U.S.) is headed and, whether we might witness an imperial decline under Trump. Social scientists largely recognize the contemporary hegemonic position of the U.S. at the global level, but questions persist concerning the future of the U.S. Empire. With the Trump Administration at the helm, these questions are all the more salient. Drawing on the expertise of a panel of contributors and guided by Michael Mann's model of power, this book critically interrogates the future of U.S. global power and provides insights on what we might expect from the U.S. Empire under Trump. Recognizing that U.S. imperial power involves an array of sources of power (ideological, economic, military, and political), the contributors analyze the Trump Administration's approach towards nine countries in the Western Hemisphere, and five sets of global policies, including inter-American relations, drugs, trade, the environment, and immigration. Each case presents a historical look at the trajectory of relations as they have developed under Trump and what we might expect in the future from the administration. The Future of U.S. Empire in the Americas will be of great interest to students and scholars of U.S. foreign policy, Foreign Policy Analysis, political sociology, and American politics.

When Democracy Trumps Populism

American Political Development And The Trump Presidency
In virtually all respects, the Trump presidency has disrupted patterns of presidential governance. However, does Trump signify a disruption, not merely in political style but in regime type in the United States? Assessing Trump's potential impact on democratic institutions requires an analysis of how these institutions—including especially the executive branch—have developed over time as well as an examination of the intersecting evolution of political parties, racial ideologies, and governing mechanisms. To explore how time and temporality have shaped the Trump presidency, editors Zachary Callen and Philip Rocco have brought together scholars in the research tradition of American political development (APD), which explicitly aims to consider how interactions between a range of institutions result in the shifting of power and authority in American politics, with careful attention paid to complex processes unfolding over time. By focusing on the factors that contribute to both continuity and change in American politics, APD is ideally situated to take a long view and help make sense of the Trump presidency. American Political Development and the Trump Presidency features contributions by leading political scientists grappling with the reasons why Donald Trump was elected and the meaning of his presidency for the future of American politics. Taking a historical and comparative approach—instead of viewing Trump's election as a singular moment in American politics—the essays here consider how Trump's election coincides with larger changes in democratic ideals, institutional structures, long-standing biases, and demographic trends. The Trump presidency, as this volume demonstrates, emerged from a gradual unsettling of ideational and institutional lineages. In turn, these essays consider how Trump's disruptive style of governance may further unsettle the formal and informal rules of American political life. Contributors: William D. Adler, Gwendoline Alphonso, Julia R. Azari, Zachary Callen, Megan Ming Francis, Daniel J. Galvin, Travis M. Johnston, Andrew S. Kelly, Robert C.

Chaos In The Liberal Order
Donald Trump's election has called into question many fundamental assumptions about politics and society. Should the forty-fifth president of the United States make us reconsider the nature and future of the global order? Collecting a wide range of perspectives from leading political scientists, historians, and international-relations scholars, Chaos in the Liberal Order explores the global trends that led to Trump's stunning victory and the impact his presidency will have on the international political landscape. Contributors situate Trump among past foreign policy upheavals and enduring models for global governance, seeking to understand how and why he departs from precedents and norms. The book considers key issues, such as what Trump means for America's role in the world; the relationship between domestic and international politics; and Trump's place in the rise of the far right worldwide. It poses challenging questions, including: Does Trump's election signal the downfall of the liberal order or unveil its resilience? What is the importance of individual leaders for the international system, and to what extent is Trump an outlier? Is there a Trump doctrine, or is America's president fundamentally impulsive and scattershot? The book considers the effects of Trump's presidency on trends in human rights, international alliances, and regional conflicts. With provocative contributions from prominent figures such as Stephen M. Walt, Andrew J. Bacevich, and Samuel Moyn, this timely collection brings much-needed expert perspectives on our tumultuous era.

Re Electing Trump
The 2020 election will be a decisive choice for America. Will the American people choose four more years of President Trump's focus on economic growth, a foreign and trade policy of putting American interests first, dismantling the deep state, and dramatically reforming the bureaucracies? Or do they reject Trumpism and elect a radical extremist Democrat dedicated to bigger government, globalism, and anti-American values? Not since the election of 1964 has the choice in an election been so stark. Re-electing Trump by Newt Gingrich will lay out the stakes of the 2020 election and provide a clarion call for all Americans on why it is vital to return President Trump to the White House for a second term. Featuring insights gleaned from the lifetime of experience and access only Newt Gingrich can bring, Re-electing Trump will be crucial reading for every citizen who wants to continue to make America great again.
Foreign Policy Issues For America
As America's first president never to have served in government or the military, Donald Trump entered the White House with an unformed foreign policy position. Yet he was confronted by a wide range of developing issues; the rise of China, Russian-United States relations, the resurgence of nationalism in Europe, U.S. Foreign Policy in Latin America, environmental challenges, terrorism, security challenges of failing states, cyber security threats, and challenges in international political economy. This volume focuses on these sensitive foreign policy issues that determine the prospects for American decline or continued hegemony. Contributions are divided into 'regional' and 'functional' issues, exploring the nature and significance of the challenge, the previous response, and President Trump's policies and their consequences. Topics have been selected to address political, military, economic, and social factors in global politics and the book will appeal to undergraduates and scholars of U.S. foreign policy at all levels.

The Trump Phenomenon And The Future Of Us Foreign Policy
Donald Trump has called for a turnaround in the foreign policy of the United States (US). A key reason is that US foreign engagements have in recent decades proved of little benefit to the US middle and working classes. Trump's opponents have challenged him to prove that he can offer a better alternative to the foreign policy which has been pursued by the US since the Second World War. This volume shows that a sane US foreign policy that adjusts US postwar trajectory can be accomplished if leaders have the courage and integrity to do so. The principles and many details of an alternative policy based on democratic nationalism are described in this book. Democratic nationalism presumes that the US is a large family in which the needs of members of the family have a certain legitimate priority over those of people abroad. While Donald Trump has raised the level of discussion of these ideas in US public life, he does not have a monopoly on them. The shifts in the US foreign policy which are envisioned in this book can be made by any president and any political party. The shifts and the considerations which motivate them are deserving of careful attention by any US chief executive. This is not a Republican agenda, nor a Democratic one. We believe that it is a US agenda.
