January 28, 2020 - 75% Of Voters Say Allow Witnesses In Senate Impeachment Trial, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; 53% Say President Trump Not Telling Truth About Ukraine
Trend Information
Sample and Methodology detail
On week two of the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, registered voters say 75 - 20 percent that witnesses should be allowed to testify in the impeachment trial, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today. Support for witness testimony includes 49 percent of Republicans, 95 percent of Democrats, and 75 percent of independents.
"There may be heated debate among lawmakers about whether witnesses should testify at the impeachment trial of President Trump, but it's a different story outside the Beltway. Three-quarters of American voters say witnesses should be allowed to testify, and that includes nearly half of Republican voters," said Quinnipiac University Poll Analyst Mary Snow.
On the question of whether President Trump should be removed from office, voters remain divided, as 48 percent say the Senate should not remove President Trump from office, while 47 percent say the Senate should. That compares to a January 13 poll, conducted prior to the start of the Senate impeachment trial, in which 48 percent said the president should not be removed from office, while 46 percent said he should.
Among voters who say President Trump should not be removed from office, 77 percent say the president did nothing wrong in his actions involving Ukraine, while 14 percent say he did something wrong.
The overwhelming majority of voters who have an opinion on whether the Senate should vote to remove President Trump or not, 89 percent, say they've already made up their minds, while 10 percent say they might change their minds.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND UKRAINE
More than half of voters, 53 - 40 percent, say President Trump is not telling the truth about his actions involving Ukraine. There are sharp divides along party lines, with 89 percent of Republicans saying the president is telling the truth and 92 percent of Democrats saying he is not telling the truth. More independents, 56 percent, believe President Trump is not telling the truth, compared to the 33 percent who say he is telling the truth.
A majority of voters, 57 percent, say they would like President Trump to provide more details about his actions involving Ukraine, while 38 percent say they are satisfied with the explanation he has provided.
More than half of voters, 54 percent, believe President Trump abused his power regarding his actions involving Ukraine, while 42 percent say he did not.
A similar 52 percent think that President Trump obstructed Congress regarding its investigation of his actions involving Ukraine, while 42 percent think he did not.
Just over half of American voters, 52 percent, think the Trump administration's withholding of U.S. aid to Ukraine was not justified, while 34 percent say it was justified.
Voters continue to tune into news about impeachment, as 57 percent say they are paying a lot of attention. This compares to 59 percent who said they were paying a lot of attention in mid-December 2019, before the Senate trial began.
Despite the ongoing impeachment trial, President Trump matches his highest job approval rating since taking office, as 43 percent of voters approve of the job he's doing and 52 percent disapprove. Republicans approve 94 - 4 percent, while Democrats disapprove 95 - 3 percent and independents disapprove 53 - 38 percent.
SENATE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ON IMPEACHMENT PROCESS
Voters don't think senators on either side of the aisle are open minded about the impeachment process. Only 16 percent of voters say Senate Republicans are open minded about the impeachment process, while 76 percent say Senate Republicans have already made up their minds. Only 15 percent of voters say Senate Democrats are open minded about the impeachment process, while 79 percent say Senate Democrats have already made up their minds.
With days to go before the Iowa caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden holds a modest lead in the Democratic primary for president. Biden gets 26 percent of the vote among Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic, while Senator Bernie Sanders gets 21 percent and Senator Elizabeth Warren receives 15 percent. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg receives 8 percent, Senator Amy Klobuchar gets 7 percent, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg receives 6 percent, and businessman Andrew Yang gets 3 percent. No other candidate tops 2 percent.
In a January 13 poll, prior to the last debate, Biden had 25 percent of the vote, Sanders received 19 percent, Warren got 16 percent, Buttigieg had 8 percent, and Bloomberg got 6 percent.
"After months of leading national polls, Joe Biden's support is holding steady - but he no longer sits comfortably at the top of the Democratic presidential pack. Bernie Sanders' support breaks into the 20's for the first time, and Elizabeth Warren remains in third place. In their rearview mirror, small but steady moves are changing the line-up of candidates in single digits. There's not much daylight between Michael Bloomberg, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg as they are within a 2 point spread of one another," Snow added.
There is plenty of room for movement in the Democratic primary race as 55 percent of Democrats and independents who lean Democratic say they might change their mind about their vote, while 43 percent say their mind is made up.
Motivation to vote in the primary is sky high as two thirds of these voters, 67 percent, say they are extremely motivated to vote in the primary, 18 percent say they are very motivated, and 12 percent say they are somewhat motivated. Only 3 percent say they are not so motivated or not motivated at all.
A little more than three quarters, 78 percent, say they are choosing a candidate with their head, while 13 percent say they are choosing a candidate with their heart.
Less than half of these voters, 46 percent, say the Democratic primary debates have influenced their decision in choosing a candidate, while 51 percent say the debates haven't influenced their vote.
Only 21 percent say the results of the Iowa caucuses will influence their decision about which Democratic presidential candidate to support, while 73 percent say those results will not influence their decision.
Although the candidates have stepped up their criticism of each other, Democrats and Democratic leaners don't appear concerned about the party ultimately unifying behind a candidate, as 79 percent say the Democratic party will unite behind whoever wins the 2020 Democratic primary, while 14 percent say it will not.
Looking at the candidates' strengths, Biden does best on electability and leadership, while Sanders wins on honesty and empathy, and Warren gets the top spot on intelligence. Taking a closer look:
Best chance of winning against Donald Trump: Biden 44 percent, Sanders 19 percent, Bloomberg 9 percent
Best leader: Biden 31 percent, Sanders 18 percent, Warren 17 percent
Cares the most about people like you: Sanders 28 percent, Biden 20 percent, Warren 19 percent
Most honest: Sanders 26 percent, Biden 17 percent, Warren 14 percent
Most intelligent: Warren 26 percent, Buttigieg 14 percent, Biden 13 percent
Best policy ideas: Sanders 22 percent, Warren 21 percent, Biden 18 percent
THE SUPER BOWL
Slightly more American adults will be rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs than for the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl, as 26 percent say they want the Chiefs to win, 21 percent want the 49ers to win, and 50 percent say they don't care who wins.
Most Americans, 56 percent, say they will be watching the Super Bowl, while 41 percent say they will not be watching the game.
From January 22 - 27, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,905 self-identified registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.3 percentage points and 2,170 adults with a margin of error of +/- 2.1 percentage points. The survey includes 827 Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points.

As one might expect, the techno-wizards in the United Worlds Warlock have been able to make a number of impressive improvements to the standard mystic power armor. There are a variety of different designs with each designs having various advantages. Several groups within the United Worlds Warlock mass produces the standard mystic power armor at a cost of only five hundred thousand credits.
Some consider the term "power armor" to be something of a misnomer with many considering it best to consider the armor to be more of an augmented body armor. Still, the enchanted armor rivals several suits of light power armor with regards to protection and has relatively impressive firepower. One advantage that mystic power armor has over most suits of standard power armor is that it does not interfere with the spell casting abilities of the wearer. As such, it is popular among spell casters generally.
The "Dawnstar" is produced by a company run by a techno-wizard by the name of Asyribis. Although a relatively new design, it is become extremely popular. It is rumored that she is actually the Demi-God offspring of the god Thoth. Her company also produces the "Crystal Shard" designs of space fighters, corvettes, and light cruisers.
Her improved mystic power armor is a bit more bulky than the standard version but is still a relatively lightweight set of armor. As with the standard version, the armor appears to be made from tiny clear quartz crystals linked together into an incredibly flexible suit. In the center of the chest of the armor is a diamond valued at fifty thousand credits or more. In some cases these armors can be customized in style to the desires of the purchaser.
The enchantments on the crystals are different than the standard mystic power armor with the improved techno-wizard armor beings immune to all non-magical energy weapons. It does retain the ability that all damage can be restored through the spell of "Armor of Ithan" with the focusing of additional mystical energy will repair all damage. The armor is also slightly tougher in terms of general damage it can take than a standard mystic power armor.
For additional protection, the "Dawnstar" is fitted with the "Invincible Armor" enchantment. This enchantment requires additional magical energy to activate, powered either by the wearer or through the mystical energy battery. The force field regenerates damage slowly and if knocked down, it will absorb all the damage in the attack. It is not immune to energy attacks but takes half damage from a variety of attacks.
While some enchantments do not require additional mystical energy to be activated, several do including the previously described "Invincible Armor" enchantment. In order to power these enchantments, the "Dawnstar" mounts a mystic energy battery in the form of a dozen emeralds worked into the armor. Unlike the battery of most techno-wizard starships, the battery only recharges slowly. On ley lines and nexus points, the battery recharges more rapidly and spell casters can focus mystical energies into the battery to recharge it more rapidly.
In order to improve the firepower of the "Dawnstar," it was decided to replace the "Call Lightning" and "Firebolt" enchantments. Instead, the improved armor has the enchantments of "Sub-Particle Acceleration" and "Power Bolt." Each has greater range than the spells they replace with the "Power Bolt" having the greater range between the two. It was decided to retain the "Magic Net" enchantment. Each spell can only be cast twice per melee round.
It was decided to incorporate at least one technological weapon system in the "Dawnstar" armor. In the left forearm is mounted a Naruni micro-missile launcher. In order to increase the payload of the missile launchers, there is a dimensional pocket. A total of thirty micro-missiles can be carried in the magazine. Usually guided missiles are carried.
With the rate of fire of the mystic weaponry limited and the micro-missile launcher still having a relatively limited payload, most operators will carry handheld weapons of various types. Various energy weapons, both rifles and pistols, are popular. These can include crew served weapons. Unlike conventional power armors, the improved mystic power armor cannot provide power to such weapons. The hand held gravity rail gun rifles and pistols are also popular due to being effective against targets which are impervious to energy. Some wielders whom prefer close combat might be armed with enchanted swords or "Lightblade" sabers.
Instead of the enchantment of "Breath Without Air", the armor uses the enchantment of "Sustain" and provides all life support needs including not needing food or water. While unlike the "Breath without Air" enchantment, the "Sustain" enchantment need to be reactivated every six days, this is not considered a serious limitation.
The basic enchantments of "Superhuman Strength" and "Superhuman Speed" are retained. If the wearer is stronger or can run faster than the armor, the wearer's own abilities dictate the performance of the armor instead. While it only gives limited flight ability, the armor retains the spell of "Fly as the Eagle" enchantment. In space, the armor has limited acceleration of only around 0.1 G of acceleration.
Unlike the standard mystic power armor, the "Dawnstar" does have a full set of standard conventional sensor systems carried on most normal unpowered body armors. It does retain the standard sensory spells carried on the standard mystic power armor.
In order to give better flight performance and improved sensor systems, the "Dawnstar" armor can be fitted with a special backpack. The backpack combines the standard sensor systems of a power armor with a contra-grav flight system. Gives a maximum atmospheric flight speed of around three hundred and twenty kilometers per hour in an atmosphere and an acceleration of 0.5 G in space. Contra-Grav flight system does however have a limited duration of twenty-four hours before needing to be recharged.
 This is a small and difficult targets to strike, requiring the attacker to make a "called shot", but even then the attacker is -4 to strike.
 Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will destroy the armor and make it useless. As well, the wearer may be killed or injured. Casting "Armor of Ithan" and 100 P.P.E. will restore all M.D.C.
 "Invincible Armor" Force Field costs 30 P.P.E. (Or 60 I.S.P.) per activation and has a duration of 18 minutes (72 melee rounds) per activation. Magical energy can be pulled from the armor's mystic energy battery. The armor regenerates damage at the rate of 1D6 M.D.C. per melee round. The armor also offers complete environmental protection from heat, cold, disease, pollution, toxic gases, fumes, etc. and, provides the wearer with an independent oxygen supply. Furthermore, all energy attacks, magic or mundane, inflict only half their usual damage to the armor! Should the armor be destroyed, it absorbs all the extra damage and disappears in a flash of light. No damage is carried over to the wearer.
 Optional - Backpack takes full damage from all attacks although is still protected by the "Invincible Armor" Force Field if active. If backpack is destroyed, all "Power Armor" long range sensor systems are lost leaving only limited sensor systems - equal to those on a standard body armor. In addition, contra-grav flight systems are also destroyed.
Flight: Fly as the Eagle Enchantment: The armor has a limited ability to fly, can activate a "Fly as the Eagle" enchantment anytime with an unlimited duration. Flight speed in the atmosphere is up to 50 mph (80.5 kph) with a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). In space, the enchantment gives a maximum acceleration of 0.1 G. Armor is not trans-atmospheric.
Contr-Grav Flight Backpack: using the contr-grav flight pack, performance is improved with an atmospheric flight speed of 200 mph (322 kph) and is trans-atmospheric. In space, the armor can accelerate at up to 0.5 Gs of acceleration.
Underwater: Can use the ability of "Fly as the Eagle" underwater with a limited speed of 10 mph (16.1 kph) and can walk along the bottom of the water.
Range: Effectively Unlimited - Sustain spell provides all life support needs as long as there is enough mystical energy to activate. The Contra-Grav Flight Pack however has a maximum duration of 24 hours before needing to be recharged.
Height: Effectively same as character (+4 inches / 10 cm).
Width: Effectively same as character (+2 inches / 5 cm).
Length: Effectively same as character (+2 inches / 5 cm). Sensor / Contr-Grav Backpack adds 1 foot / 30.5 cm.
Weight / Mass: "Dawnstar" Mystic Power Armor: 30 lbs (13.6 kg) and has no prowl penalties. Sensor / Contr-Grav Backpack: 45 lbs (20.4 kg).
Physical Strength: Characters strength or spell of "Superhuman Strength" (Whichever is stronger). Gives Strength of 30 and Endurance of 24.
Cost: "Dawnstar" Mystic Power Armor: 3.5 million credits. Sensor / Contr-Grav Backpack: 400,000 credits.
"Sub-Particle Acceleration" Blasts: Armor give wearer the ability to fire particle beam blasts from the hands or the eyes. The enchantment has an extended range compared to the standard spell. Otherwise, this powerful spell is standard with regards to blasts although has a limited rate of fire.
Rate of Fire: Up to twice (2) per melee round.
"Power Bolt" Blasts: Armor give wearer the ability to fire blue beams of energy from the hands or the eyes. Not quite as powerful as the "Sub-Particle Acceleration" but longer ranged. The enchantment has a limited rate of fire but requires a roll of 20 (with bonuses) or greater to dodge.
"Magic Net" Enchantment: Fires a magic net that ensnares target bolt of fire from either hand equal to the spell except for having an extended range. The enchantment has a limited rate of fire but requires a roll of 16 (with bonuses) or greater to dodge.
Maximum Effective Range: 200 feet (60.1 meters) - Range is the same in both an atmosphere and in space.
Mega-Damage: Ensnares target within a 10 foot (3 meter) diameter area. Net has a duration of 12 melee round and requires at least two melee rounds to cut or blast through.
One (1) NE-28 Micro-Missiles Launchers: On the left forearm, the "Dawnstar" Mystic Power Armor mounts micro-missile launchers. Launcher can launch up to two micro-missiles as a volley. Both smart guided and unguided micro-missiles are available and there are several special micro-missile warheads available. Smart guided missiles have +4 to strike and +4 to dodge. Missiles are stored in a dimensional pocket which allows a much greater payload to be carried than would be otherwise possible.
Optional Sensor / Contr-Grav Backpack: This backpack contains a more powerful sensor array, equal to that of a standard power armor. In addition, the backpack contains a contra-grav flight system with the ability to fly in an atmosphere at up to 200 mph (322 kph) and has an acceleration of 0.5 Gs in space. Duration of flight is limited to 24 hours before needing to be recharged. The Sub-Particle Acceleration enchantment can be used to recharge the contra-grav flight system but there is a 15% chance of overloading the battery and causing a feedback causing 2D6x10 M.D.C. of damage.
Energy Rifles or Light Rail Gun and other hand-held weapons can be substituted in an emergency or used as a back-up weapon. Space limitations and the bulk of the armor limit additional rifle weapons to one rifle and one pistol.
Armor bonuses & Hand to Hand: Gives armor +2 to parry and +6 to dodge from "Superhuman Speed" spell. Also gives an additional +1 to parry, +2 to dodge, and +2 to damage when diving all while in flight from spell fly as the Eagle. Also gives Supernatural PS of 30 and a PE of 24, unless less than pilots.
Some of the enchantments require no mystical energy from the wearer of the armor while others require additional mystical energy. To power enchantments which require additional mystical energy, the armor has a P.P.E. Battery.
The P.P.E. battery built into the enchanted armor is in the form of emerald crystals. This magical energy can be both used by the wearer to cast spells and can be used to power enchantments in the armor. The armor stores 20 P.P.E. for every crystal built into the armor with twelve total (240 P.P.E.) Magical energy regenerates at the rate 2 P.P.E. per hour normally or 10 per hour on a Ley Line. Spell casters can also feed P.P.E. into the crystals.
Enchantments can be activated by non-spell casters.
Invincible Armor: Enchantment costs 30 P.P.E. (Normally comes from P.P.E. Battery) or 60 I.S.P. to activate. Duration is 18 minutes per activation. The wearer is protected by a 150 M.D.C. force field which regenerates 1D6 M.D.C. per melee round. All energy attacks, magic or mundane, inflict only half their usual damage to the force field. When knocked down, no additional damage beyond which destroyed the shield will be transferred to the body armor. See Spell for further details.
Sustain: Enchantment costs 12 P.P.E. (Normally comes from P.P.E. Battery) or 24 I.S.P. to activate. Duration is 6 days (144 hours) per activation. Enchantment allows pilot to operate for days without food, water, or breathable air. Also keeps physical / mental energy level up and removes the need for any outside source of these things. The pilot only needs two hours sleep per night for the duration of the enchantment. Still fatigues from exertion as normal.
Eyes of the Wolf: Same as spell and used at will. Gives the following abilities: Night Vision (60 feet/18.3 meters), See The invisible 75%, Identify Plants and Fruit 70%, Identify Tracks 85%, Track 50%, and Recognize poison 65%.
See the Invisible: Same as spell and used at will. Has a 200 feet (61 meter) range. Can see forces, objects, and creatures which can turn invisible, or are invisible. Can also see vaporous beings and astral bodies.
Globe of Daylight: Same as spell and used at will. In an atmosphere, will light up a 72 feet (21.9 meter) area. In space, range is eight times normal with a range of 576 feet (175.6 meters.) Will repel vampires.
Chameleon: Same as spell. Unlimited duration and used at will. Makes suit / operator 90% undetectable if unmoving, 70% undetectable if moving 2 ft or slower per melee, 20% undetectable if moving 6 ft or slower per melee, and is easily detectable if moving faster than that.
Other Magical Abilities: Fly as the Eagle, Superhuman Speed, and Superhuman Strength are listed elsewhere in armors write up.

Q: Custom title bar with ListView I have a Activity Extend ListActivity
I want add a LinearLayout or RelativeLayout on top of the list
like a action title
But when I add in XML
List not Display,Why?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<RelativeLayout
  android:orientation="horizontal"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView android:text="1111"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/textView1"/>
</RelativeLayout>
    <ListView android:id="@id/android:list" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"
        android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" android:padding="4dip" />
    <TextView android:id="@id/android:empty" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="No_data" />
</LinearLayout>

A: Your RelativeLayout above the list has a height of fill_parent and leaves no space left for the list below it. Try setting a different value for layout_height on the RelativeLayout, either a constant height in dips or wrap_content.
You also want orientation="vertical" on your root LinearLayout.

A: Jason,
Google has provided a good example of what you call an "action title" here: http://code.google.com/p/iosched/
Full source code is provided.
Good luck.

A: You have extended ListActivity. You need to extend just a normal Activity and use a ListView instead of ListActivity.
Refer the link here
Here is the text that you need

ListActivity has a default layout that
  consists of a single, full-screen list
  in the center of the screen. However,
  if you desire, you can customize the
  screen layout by setting your own view
  layout with setContentView() in
  onCreate(). To do this, your own view
  MUST contain a ListView object with
  the id "@android:id/list" (or list if
  it's in code)

A: I was getting the same problem, where nothing showed up. The problem for me was that Android wasn't re-inflating resource properly. Adding the second line here fixed it for me:
final boolean useCustomTitle=requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
getWindow().getDecorView();//required to make title show up
if(useCustomTitle)
    getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE,R.layout.my_custom_title);

The second line returns a view, but I don't need it. However, the code will not work without it. You can find the Android source code online if you need to find workarounds.
The private TextView mTitleView still isn't updated, so you can either override setTitle or use reflection.

9. Other Requirements or Provisions
Citizenship -- Agencies must adhere to the following restrictions regarding United States citizen-ship when evaluating persons seeking Federal civil service employment:
-- Executive Order 11935, which requires citizenship for the competitive civil service, i.e., only a United States citizen or national may be appointed to the competitive service. This requirement applies to all types of appointments. In noncompetitive conversions from the excepted service, the citizenship requirement must be met as of the effective date of the action. (A national is a person who owes allegiance to or is under the protection of a nation, but is not a citizen or subject. How-ever, a native is typically born in the particular place.) Natives of the following areas are United States citizens: Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, including Saipan, Rota, and Tinian; Puerto Rico; and the Virgin Islands of the United States, including St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. At present, only natives of American Samoa and Swains Island are nationals of the United States;
-- The annual Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriation Act ban on paying aliens from many countries; and
-- The immigration law ban (title 8 U.S.C. 1324a) on employing aliens, unless they are lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise authorized to be employed.
In specific cases, OPM may authorize the appointment of aliens to competitive service jobs to promote the efficiency of the service, as an exception to the Order, and to the extent permitted by law.
Each agency is responsible for applying any additional citizenship restrictions or exceptions that are authorized by its own enabling and appropriation statutes.
Medical/Physical -- The basis on which agencies may establish specific medical standards or physical requirements is discussed in 5 CFR 339. In general, there must be a direct relationship between the medical standard or physical requirement and the actual duties of the position being filled. Failure to meet an established medical standard or physical requirement means that the individual is not qualified for the position unless there is sufficient evidence that he or she can perform the duties of the position safely and efficiently despite a condition that would normally be disqualifying. Agencies must provide reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals with disabilities in accordance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations.
Positions with sedentary, light, or moderately active duties are covered by the following medical standard:
Applicants must be physically and mentally able to perform efficiently the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation, without hazard to themselves or others. Depending on the essential duties of a specific position, usable vision, color vision, hearing, or speech may be required. However, in most cases, a specific physical condition or impairment will not automatically disqualify an applicant for appointment. The loss or impairment of a specific function may be compensated for by the satisfactory use of a prosthesis or mechanical aid. Reasonable accommodation, in accordance with title 29 CFR 1613.704, must also be considered in determining an applicant's ability to perform the duties. Also, all positions involving Federal motor vehicle operation carry the additional medical requirements specified in (f) below.
Positions with specific medical requirements and that involve arduous/hazardous duties or require a high standard of human reliability are identified in the Medical Requirements section. For such positions, the medical requirements are based on the arduous or hazardous nature of the duties typically performed in most of the positions covered. However, since individual positions may not include all such duties, a physical condition or impairment may be disqualifying for employment only if there is a direct relationship between the condition and the nature of the duties of the specific position to be filled. In some instances, a physical impairment will not disqualify an applicant for appointment if the condition is compensated for by a satisfactory prosthesis, mechanical aid, or by reason-able accommodation. Also, all positions involving Federal motor vehicle operation carry the additional medical requirements specified in (f) below.
Age -- (1) Minimum entry age requirements. Under 5 U.S.C. 3301, OPM is authorized to establish standards with respect to a minimum entry age that applicants must meet to be admitted to or rated in examinations. A minimum age requirement ensures that applicants have the maturity necessary for successful job performance and that Federal Government hiring practices are not in conflict with the general objective of encouraging students to complete their basic education. Minimum entry age requirements must be waived for persons entitled to veterans preference, unless OPM determines that such an age restriction is essential for performance of the duties of the position.
Generally, unless a different minimum entry age is contained in the standard or examination announcement for a particular position, applicants for any position in the competitive service must be (1) at least 18 years old, or (2) at least 16 years old and:
Have graduated from high school or been awarded a certificate equivalent to graduating from high school; or
Have completed a formal vocational training program; or
Have received a statement from school authorities agreeing with their preference for employment rather than continuing their education; or
Be currently enrolled in a secondary school and either work only during school vacation periods or work part-time during the school year under a formal student employment program.
Applications may be considered from individuals who meet one of the above conditions and will reach the age of 16 prior to or on the date they report to work.
Title 5 U.S.C. 3307 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to establish the minimum age requirement for initial appointment to U.S. park police positions.
In addition to the above, agencies must observe the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as well as Federal, State, and local laws that relate to the employment of minors in hazardous positions or in positions requiring the use of firearms.
(2) Maximum entry age restrictions. Title 5 U.S.C. 3307(a) prohibits the establishment of a maximum entry age for Federal positions, except as provided below. The prohibition against establishing maximum entry age limits applies to noncompetitive actions as well as to competitive appointments, to the excepted as well as to competitive services, and to all agencies, including OPM. Consequently, agencies cannot apply a maximum entry age limit under merit promotion procedures or in selection through any type of noncompetitive action, except as provided in the applicable Sections of the United States Code. There are no maximum entry age restrictions for most positions in the competitive service, except as follows:
Title 5 U.S.C. 3307, authorizes the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Defense to establish a maximum entry age for original appointment to air traffic controller positions in their respective Departments. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to establish a maximum entry age for original appointment to U.S. park police positions. The head of any agency is authorized to establish a maximum entry age for original appointment to positions of law enforcement officers or firefighters; and
Title 29 U.S.C. 633a permits agencies to establish a maximum age requirement only in instances where they have proven to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that age is a bona fide occupational qualification necessary for the performance of the duties of a particular position.
Maximum age restrictions established under 29 U.S.C. 633a or under the special authorities in 5 U.S.C. 3307 are not waived for persons entitled to veterans preference.
Written and performance tests -- Occupational series/positions with written and/or performance test requirements are identified in the section entitled test requirements. Written and performance tests are to be used as follows:
Initial appointments -- Tests are required for some occupational series, either for all applicants or for those applicants who do not meet specific requirements indicated in the standard. If a test is required, applicants who are subject to that test must pass or have previously passed it to be eligible for initial appointment. This includes competitive appointments, and appointments under most noncompetitive appointing authorities.
Inservice placement -- (1) Tests required by OPM. There are a few occupational series for which a test is required by OPM for inservice placement. For such series, agencies must use and applicants must pass the appropriate OPM test. Occupational series with such requirements are also identified in the Test Requirements section.
(2) Tests required by agencies. For positions for which OPM does not require a test, agencies may develop and use tests without OPM approval, as long as the test is part of a comprehensive set of assessment procedures used in ranking employees. The use and appropriateness of such tests are the responsibility of the agency. Agencies cannot, however, use existing OPM tests for such positions, unless specific approval has been received from OPM.
(3) How inservice applicants can be examined. In occupations other than those where OPM requires a test for inservice placement, if an agency prefers to use alternatives to testing (e.g., evaluation of training and experience, interview, performance appraisal) to measure qualifications, it can do so, or it may use a test as one of several tools in evaluating applicants. Tests can be used to determine basic eligibility (i.e., on a pass-fail basis) or as the sole basis for ranking inservice placement applicants, only when specific approval has been received from OPM.
(4) Performance tests. As a general guide, performance tests (e.g., typing proficiency tests) can be used to evaluate inservice placement applicants when, within the past 3 years, they have not performed successfully in a position that required proficiency in the skills needed for the position to be filled.
Licensure, certification, and other requirements or provisions -- Applicants for positions in some occupational series must meet certification, licensure, or registration requirements in addition to meeting experience and/or educational requirements, if so required by law. In other series, applicants can qualify fully on the basis of licensure, certification, registration, or special training as an alternative to experience and/or educational requirements. Such requirements or provisions are noted in the qualification standards or individual occupational requirements for those series.
Agencies can establish requirements for specific credentials (e.g., registration, licenses, or certificates) when such credentials are necessary for satisfactory job performance. However, it is important that agencies not overemphasize the possession of credentials as a means of determining whether applicants meet minimum qualification requirements in a series where the standard permits qualification on the basis of experience or education. Staffing personnel must examine the background of all applicants and give full credit to any acceptable experience, as well as to education or training.
Motor vehicle incidental operator requirements -- Title 40 U.S.C. 471 requires OPM to issue regulations governing executive agencies in authorizing their civilian personnel to operate Government-owned or -leased motor vehicles within the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the possessions of the United States. OPM's regulations are found at title 5 CFR 930.
Incidental operators are employees, other than those occupying a position officially classified as a motor vehicle operator, who are required to operate a Government-owned or -leased motor vehicle to properly carry out their assigned duties. To qualify as an incidental operator, an employee must possess a valid State license, have a safe driving record, pass a road test, and demonstrate that he or she is medically qualified to operate the appropriate motor vehicle safely.
OPM waives the road test for incidental operators:
(1) who operate vehicles of one-ton capacity or less and who possess a current driver's license from one of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, where domiciled or principally employed, except for incidental operators of buses or vehicles used for transportation of dangerous material, law enforcement, or emergency services;
(2) who possess a current driver's license, for the specific class of vehicle operated, from one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, where domiciled or principally employed; or
(3) in accordance with a specific authorization by OPM to the agency concerned.
An agency head may waive the road test when it is not practical to apply it, and then only for an employee whose competence as a driver has been established by his/her past driving record.
In general, no medical condition may be considered disqualifying unless there is evidence that it is likely to adversely affect job performance or safety to an unacceptable degree. At least once every 4 years, each agency will ensure that employees who operate Government-owned or -leased vehicles are medically able to do so without undue risk to themselves or others. Where there is a question about an employee's ability to operate a motor vehicle safely, the employee may be referred for a medical examination in accordance with provisions of title 5 CFR 339.

It was hard to go east to west
Mon, 08/26/2019 - 12:45pm
Steamboats were first introduced onto Bayou Teche in 1818, largely because the commerce from big sugar plantations made the bayou and its neighboring waterways busy places in the years before the Civil War. But it wasn't easy getting to south Louisiana from New Orleans or any other place on the Mississippi River.

In death, Charlene has touched many lives
August 11 is the 60th anniversary of the death in 1959 of Charlene Richard, a little girl whom many people call "the Little Cajun Saint." Her story is known across the globe. Miraculous cures have been attributed to her and people come daily to the community of Richard, midway between Eunice and Church Point, to pray at her grave in St. Edward's cemetery.

The road that opened the last frontier
In early 1949 people were talking again about finally building a road to Pecan Island, the isolated chenier south of Abbeville, but nobody was taking bets that it would actually happen.
People had talked about a road through the marsh since the 1930s, when the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was looking for "make-work" projects for men who lost their jobs during the Depression. That road didn't get built, nor had several other attempts fared any better, and a 2½ hour boat ride was still the only way to get to the place.

The last gap in the Old Spanish Trail
It was big and long-anticipated news when the papers proclaimed in the middle of March 1931 that a newly paved section of the Old Spanish Trail had been opened near Jennings, and that paving work was all but complete from the Atchafalaya to the Sabine.
The road, so named because it connected the old Spanish towns of St. Augustine, Florida, and San Diego, California, ran through Morgan City, Franklin, Jeanerette, New Iberia, Lafayette, Scott, Rayne, Crowley, Jennings, Welsh, Lake Charles, Sulphur, and Vinton, before crossing into Texas at Orange.

Public Notices Threatened
Print newspapers are still the primary way that tens of millions of Americans receive information about their communities and the world. They are also the way that many people find out about job opportunities. While we assume that everyone has an internet connection, the fact is that many areas of the country have limited or no internet service. According to the Federal Communications Commission, nearly 40 percent of Americans living in rural areas lack access to fixed broadband internet.
