Planning Permission at Eagle Tower, Cheltenham
SF Planning have recently secured planning permission for seven duplex apartments at 'the podium' Eagle Tower. Eagle Tower is a large 13 storey office building built in the 1960s near Cheltenham town centre.
The Podium is a small two storey building next to the tower which was also formerly used as offices. In August 2015, SF Planning secured the approval of Cheltenham Borough Council to convert these offices to apartments. Thanks to the popularity of those apartments, in Autumn 2016 SF Planning were asked to prepare a new application, to use the space on the roof of the podium for an additional 7 two storey apartments.
The main challenge when preparing this application was the potential impact on Cheltenham's Central Conservation area. The team had discussions with officers at the council to ensure that the design of the building was appropriate and agreed to reinstate a number of geometric openings in the parapet surrounding the apartments which was particularly welcomed by the council as it will provide visual interest to the building. During the application process a number of positive comments were also received from others, with the Cheltenham Civic Society considering that the apartments were a 'good use of the location' and the Architects Panel noting that the proposals would be a 'well designed addition, providing architecturally interesting new apartments'.
SF Planning are delighted to secure planning permission for this interesting scheme which was achieved by working co-operatively with Cheltenham Borough Council to ensure a well-designed addition to the existing building and an enhancement to the area.


I loaded up the Explorer and headed west recently to photograph Randi-Morgan and Peter's wedding at the Homewood Event and Conference Center in Asheville, NC. Homewood is a beautiful venue that resembles a castle on the outside. The grounds are exceptional as is the interior reception/ceremony hall. We were met with rain throughout the day, but undeterred we fought against the conditions to create some really wonderful imagery! Randi-Morgan and Peter had such a nice ceremony and reception and I am truly happy to have been apart of their day! Maybe my favorite shot of them is with the archway in the background. I placed a small flash on a lightstand (as well as an umbrella light in front) behind them to make them pop. I really love the way the light shines around them and illuminates the archway. Congrats guys, you were the best! I wish you many years of happiness!

The first comprehensive look at how the federal Affordable Care Act has changed health insurance in Minnesota shows a 40 percent decline in the number of people lacking coverage between September and May.
Released on Wednesday, the study from University of Minnesota researchers estimates that about 180,500 uninsured people found coverage during the time period, dropping the state's uninsured rate from 8.2 percent to 4.9 percent.
In some ways, the coverage expansion is not surprising, because it came at a time when the federal health law created incentives and penalties designed to connect more people with health insurance.
But researchers said they were impressed by the magnitude of change.
Critics of the state's MNsure health insurance exchange have repeatedly questioned whether the law is having its expected impact on the uninsured rate in Minnesota, where a balky MNsure website and overwhelmed call center made it difficult for many to get coverage.
In January 2013, state officials projected that by 2016 the number of Minnesotans lacking coverage would be cut by between 298,000 and 340,000. So, the figures released Wednesday suggest the state is more than halfway to the goal.
"What this shows is that we're squarely on track," said Scott Leitz, chief executive officer of MNsure.
Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, who pushed for the creation of MNsure, cheered the study's findings.
"Today's report demonstrates that health reform in Minnesota is headed in the right direction," Dayton said in a statement.
But Republicans said the report doesn't specify whether the decline can be attributed to MNsure or other factors.
To the extent the reduction came from people enrolling in the state's Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare insurance programs, the state "didn't need MNsure at all," said state Sen. Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake.
Starting this year, the Affordable Care Act will require almost all Americans to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
The law also expands eligibility in many state Medicaid programs and offers tax credits for many to buy coverage from private insurance companies.
The Minnesota analysis fits with several recent national surveys that also have shown declines in the uninsured rate, said Julie Sonier, deputy director of the U's State Health Access Data Assistance Center, which published the report.
The report couldn't say exactly where the uninsured found coverage, that is, whether insurance was obtained through public programs, private insurers available through MNsure or commercial plans sold outside the health exchange.
As of May 11, more than 214,000 had enrolled in public and private health insurance through MNsure, which was available to people who already had coverage.
Of the 40 percent decline in the state's uninsured rate, Sonier said: "I don't know that we really were in a position to have solid expectations about what the number would be, but I would say, yes, we were surprised by it.
"In the past two decades of looking at uninsured rates, we have never seen a decline of this magnitude," she said.
The study tracked changes in the sources of coverage for state residents, drawing on enrollment data from state programs and Minnesota-based private insurers. Researchers also made projections for coverage provided by non-Minnesota insurance companies and those covered through certain large group health plans.
The study found a 20.6 percent increase in people enrolled in the state's Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare programs, where insurance is either free or heavily subsidized.
There also was 12.5 percent growth in those who buy commercial insurance policies for themselves without help from an employer.
Overall, private insurance coverage grew by just 0.9 percent, since the study found a slight decline in group coverage.
Going forward, researchers plan to analyze how many who bought through MNsure were previously uninsured. Future surveys will provide information about the characteristics of those who gained and lost coverage, as well as those who still lack insurance.
"We're really going to have to take the effort up a notch to get the remaining uninsured," said Julie Brunner of the Minnesota Council of Health Plans, a trade group for insurers.
Growth in coverage through the state's public health insurance programs shouldn't be surprising, because previous reports showed that about two-thirds of uninsured Minnesotans qualified for — but didn't take advantage of — public coverage, said Scott Keefer, vice president for policy and legislative affairs at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
"Maybe the best thing that the (federal health law) did for those individuals is increase the level of awareness that they were eligible," Keefer said.
The slight decline in group coverage during the period is troubling, particularly if it's concentrated among small employers, said Peter Nelson, public policy director at the Center of the American Experiment, a Golden Valley-based group that promotes free-market reforms. The growth in coverage by government programs shows "the Affordable Care Act is doing what many of us feared it would do," Nelson said.
Earlier this year, the state estimated there were about 445,000 people without coverage in Minnesota during 2013. So, the report released Wednesday suggests the number of uninsured fell to about 264,500 by May 1.

The actor is said to be hosting the desi version of the international talk show, Man Enough, which discusses masculinity and also tries to create awareness towards social issues.
Born to a Bengali family in 1979, Bipasha made her Bollywood acting debut with a negative role in the 2001 film Ajnabee. The next year, she was cast as the leading actress in the horror film Raaz.
She has featured in films like Jism, No Entry, Phir Hera Pheri, All the Best: Fun Begins, Dhoom 2, Race, Raaz 3D, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Aatma, Creature 3D. Bipasha was last seen on the big screen in the 2015 film Alone, in which she starred alongside actor Karan Singh Grover. The two tied the knot in 2016.
A quick look at her social media posts - the latest one being "stretching" - will give people an idea about her passion for fitness.
Sometimes you just need to slow down a bit, to get stronger ... Be gentle with yourself... Breathe... Thank your body ... Be grateful towards it... Love the body you live in and Loveyourself ❤🙏💪🏼 #loveyourself #getstrong

Today innovation has become the name of the game. To borrow the more direct words of others: Innovate or die. And although we would all like to be pumping out epiphanies on a daily basis, keeping our organizations a step ahead at all times, it is easier said than done. We believe that with the right problem definition, stimulus and group of contributors that we can help foster innovative thinking to tackle a specific problem. As a result, we have developed a set of tools and process, dictating timelines, participants and pre-work unique to Sparktures, to get innovative thinking in motion. This methodology has been tested and refined over the last decade, across a broad range of categories and in the face and even broader range of problems to be tackled.
Organizational design can be a significant catalyst for higher performance in complex business environments. By creating direct alignment between the organization, strategy, and operations, the performance of people within the business is enhanced with corresponding benefits to results.
Study after study shows that organizations with greater gender parity in their leadership ranks, and diversity of perspective within their workforce, outperform their peers in generating value and growth. Equality and inclusion aren't just buzzwords for a website, one-pager, or investor brochure - they are critical elements of successfully doing business in today's world.
Many organizations are experiencing 'the gender leadership gap.' This gap does not simply show up in a photo op – it shows up in everything from the organization's products and services, to its management and leadership style, to its bottom line. The leadership gap represents a lack of diversity of perspective, ideas, insight, and experience, all of which create very real impact on the organization's success.
If you are looking to bridge the gap, we can help you think about your recruitment strategy. This means everything from helping you think through your team's needs and high-level strategy to attract the right people to your organization, to crafting the right job description for the roles you're recruiting for.


There are a few other suburbs near San Jose that may be worth checking out – one being Heredia.
Aurora Saint Luke's Medical Center sits just 2.5 blocks away from 27th and Cleveland where this crash happened.
Neighbors told FOX6 that when they heard the sirens, they thought it was just an ambulance responding to the hospital. The identities of those involved are not being released at this time, pending notifications of their families.
Personally, I don't even findticas to be the most attractive women in Central America. Costa Rican women generally have a lighter complexion than many other Latin countries.
Couples were making out everywhere over the whole city.
Charges against the 21-year-old driver will be presented to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office in the coming days.
Still, I spent around 5 weeks in Costa Rica with a majority of them being in San Pedro, the university town suburb of San Jose.
I didn't check the area out much, but I've heard good things.
If I ever go to the area again, I'd make sure to check this area out first before I booked anything long-term. If you are staying in San Pedro, I would skip hotels and hostels and try to grab an apartment. Weekly rates can be found for 5 - 150 with monthly rates going for 0 - 500.

Spāhbed (also spelled spahbod and spahbad)[1] is a Middle Persian title meaning "army chief" used chiefly in the Sasanian Empire. Originally there was a single spāhbed, called the Ērān-spāhbed, who functioned as the generalissimo of the Sasanian army. From the time of Khosrow I (r. 531–579) on, the office was split in four, with a spāhbed for each of the cardinal directions.[2] After the Muslim conquest of Persia, the spāhbed of the East managed to retain his authority over the inaccessible mountainous region of Tabaristan on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, where the title, often in its Islamic form ispahbadh (Persian: اسپهبذ; in Arabic: اصبهبذ ʾiṣbahbaḏ), survived as a regnal title until the Mongol conquests of the 13th century.[3] An equivalent title of Persian origin, ispahsālār or sipahsālār, gained great currency across the Muslim world in the 10th–15th centuries.
The title was also adopted by the Armenians (Armenian: սպարապետ, [a]sparapet) and the Georgians (Georgian: სპასპეტი, spaspeti), as well as Khotan (spāta) and the Sogdians (spʾdpt) in Central Asia. It is also attested in Greek sources as aspabedēs (ἀσπαβέδης).[2][3] The title was revived in the 20th century by the Pahlavi dynasty, in the Modern Persian form sepahbod (سپهبد), equivalent to a three-star Lieutenant General, ranking below arteshbod (full General).
The title is attested in the Achaemenid Empire in its Old Persian form, spādapati (from *spāda- "army" and *pati- "chief"[2]), signifying the army's commander-in-chief.[3] The title continued in use under the Arsacid Parthian Empire, where it seems to have been a hereditary position in one of the seven great houses of the Parthian nobility.[3]
The Sasanian Empire, which succeeded the Arsacids, retained the title, which is attested in a series of inscriptions from the 3rd century,[3] recorded in Middle Persian (Inscriptional Pahlavi script) as 𐭮𐭯𐭠𐭧𐭯𐭲𐭩 spʾhpty and 𐭮𐭯𐭠𐭧𐭯𐭲 spʾhpt (read as spāhbed) and in Parthian (Inscriptional Parthian script) as 𐭀𐭎𐭐𐭀𐭃𐭐𐭕𐭉 ʾspʾdpty and 𐭎𐭐𐭃𐭐𐭕𐭉 spdpty (read as (a)spāẟbed).[4]
Until the early 6th century, there was a single holder of the title, the Ērān-spāhbed, who according to the list of precedence provided by the 9th-century Muslim historian Ya'qubi occupied the fifth position in the court hierarchy.[3] Two spahbeds, both named Raxš, are recorded in Shapur-KZ and Paikuli inscriptions.[2]
The Byzantine and Syriac sources record a number of senior officers who might be holders of the rank in the early 6th century. Thus during the Anastasian War of 502–506, a certain Boes (Bōē), who negotiated with the Byzantine magister officiorum Celer and died in 505, is named in the Syriac sources as an astabid (also spelled astabed, astabad, astabadh). His unnamed successor in the negotiations also bore this title. Some modern scholars have interpreted astabed as a new office corresponding to the Byzantine magister officiorum, supposedly instituted by Kavadh I shortly before 503 for the purpose of weakening the authority of the wuzurg framadar. But it is likely that this Syriac word is simply a corrupted form of spāhbed (which is normally recorded as aspabid in Syriac), or possibly asp(a)bed ("chief of the cavalry"), since the Greek sources give the name of the second man as Aspebedes (Latin: Aspebedus), Aspevedes, or Aspetios (Latin: Aspetius).[5][6] Again, during the Iberian War (526–532), a man named Aspebedes (i.e. Bawi), according to the historian Procopius a maternal uncle of Khosrow I (r. 531–579), appears. In 527 he took part in negotiations with Byzantine envoys, and in 531 he led an invasion of Mesopotamia along with Chanaranges and Mermeroes. He was executed by Khosrow shortly after his accession for plotting with other nobles to overthrow him in favour of his brother Zames.[5][7]
To curb the power of the over-mighty generalissimo, Khosrow I—although this reform may already have been planned by his father, Kavadh I (r. 499–531)—split the office of the Ērān-spāhbed into four regional commands, corresponding to the four traditional cardinal directions (kust, cf. Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr): the "army chief of the East (Khurasan)" (kust ī khwarāsān spāhbed), the "army chief of the South" (kust ī nēmrōz spāhbed), the "army chief of the West" (kust ī khwarbārān spāhbed), and the "army chief of Azerbaijan" (kust ī Ādurbādagān spāhbed, where the northwestern province of Azerbaijan substitutes the term "north" because of the latter's negative connotations).[2][8] The exact geographical definition of each command has been retrieved from Anania Shirakatsi's Geography.[9] As this reform was mentioned only in later literary sources, the historicity of this division, or its survival after Khosrow I's reign, was questioned in the past,[10] but a series of thirteen recently discovered seals, which provide the names of eight spāhbeds, provide contemporary evidence from the reigns of Khosrow I and his successor, Hormizd IV (r. 579–590); P. Pourshariati suggests that two may date to the reign of Khosrow II (r. 590–628). The eight known spāhbeds are:[2][11]
Chihr-Burzēn
(Simah-i Burzin) East Khosrow I Kārin
Dād-Burzēn-Mihr
(Wuzurgmihr) East Hormizd IV Kārin aspbed ī pāhlav
Wahrām Ādurmāh
(Bahram-i Mah Adhar) South Khosrow I & Hormizd IV Unknown šahr-hazāruft (under Hormizd IV only), nēwānbed, šābestan
Wēh-Shāpūr South Khosrow I Unknown aspbed ī pārsīg
Pīrag South Khosrow II Mihrān Shahrwarāz
Wistakhm
(Vistahm) West Khosrow II & Hormizd IV Ispahbudhān Hazarbed
Gōrgōn or Gōrgēn
(Golon Mihran) North Khosrow I Mihrān
Sēd-hōsh (?) North Khosrow I Mihrān šahr-aspbed
Other holders of the rank are difficult to identify from the literary sources, since the office of spāhbed was held in tandem with other offices and titles, such as Shahrwarāz ("Boar of the Empire"), which are often treated as personal names.[2] A further factor of confusion in later literary sources is the interchangeable use of the rank with the junior provincial ranks of marzbān ("frontier-warden, margrave") and pāygōsbān ("district guardian").[2]
Silver dirham of the last Dabuyid ispahbadh, Khurshid of Tabaristan (r. 740–761)
During the Muslim conquest of Persia, the spahbed of Khurasan apparently retired to the mountains of Tabaristan.[3] There he invited the last Sasanian shah, Yazdgerd III, to find refuge, but Yazdgerd refused, and was killed in 651.[3][12] Like many other local rulers throughout the former Sasanian domains, including those of the neighbouring provinces of Gurgan and Gilan, the spahbed then made terms with the Arabs, which allowed him to remain as the practically independent ruler of Tabaristan in exchange for an annual tribute.[13] This marked the foundation of the Dabuyid dynasty, which ruled Tabaristan until 759–761, when it was conquered by the Abbasids and incorporated into the Caliphate as a province. The early rulers of the dynasty are ill attested; they minted coins of their own with Pahlavi legends and a dating system starting from the Sasanian dynasty's fall in 651, and claimed the titles Gīlgīlan, Padashwargarshah ("Shah of Patashwargar", the old name of Tabaristan's mountains), and ispahbadh (اسپهبذ, a New Persian form of spahbed) of Khurasan.[3][14]
The title ispahbadh was also claimed by other lines of local rulers in the region, who claimed distant descent from the Sasanian past: the Karen family, who saw themselves as heirs of the Dabuyids and ruled central and western Tabaristan until 839/840, and the Bavandid dynasty in the eastern mountains, whose various branches survived until well after the Mongol conquests of the 13th century.[3][15] The title was also used by the Daylamites neighbouring Tabaristan. In some later texts from this region, the title came to signify simply a local chieftain.[3]
In Khurasan, the title survived in usage among the local Soghdian princes. The ispahbadh of Balkh is mentioned in 709, al-Ishkand, the ispahbadh of Nasa in 737, and the same title is used in connection with the king of Kabul in the early 9th century.[3] In the 1090s, it appears as the personal name of a Seljuk commander, Isfabadh ibn Sawtigin, who seized control of Mecca for a while.[3]
The Kingdom of Armenia, which was ruled by a branch of the Parthian Arsacid dynasty, adopted the term first in its Old Persian form, giving Armenian [a]parapet and then again, under Sasanian influence, from the Middle Persian form, giving the form aspahapet. The title was used, as in Persia, for the commander-in-chief of the royal army, and was borne in hereditary right by the Mamikonian family.[3]
The institution of the Georgian rank spaspet, like its rough equivalent sparapet in neighboring Armenia, was designed under the influence of the Sasanian Persian spahbed, but differed in that it was a non-hereditary rank and included not only military, but also civil functions.[16]
According to the medieval Georgian chronicles, the rank of spaspet was introduced by the first king P'arnavaz in the 3rd century BC. The office, in a variously modified manner, survived into medieval and early modern Georgia down to the Russian annexation early in the 19th century.

UNDER THE DOME Review: Series Premiere!
Under the Dome Review – Series Premiere By Trevor Roberts Jr
"Under the Dome" is a new CBS Drama developed by Brian K. Vaughan (known for the comics Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina as well as TV show LOST). Vaughan adapted the show into a TV Series from a novel by Stephen King, who serves as an executive producer for the series along with Steven Spielberg.
With such heavy hitters in the production credits and a LOST-like ensemble cast, it's easy to have high expectations. Does Vaughn and team deliver? Let's take a look at the Season Premier to find out…
The show takes place in a seemingly simple town called Chester's Mill. However, off the bat we notice some signs of trouble: the opening scene features mysterious man burying another, excessive shipments of Propane to a local warehouse, the town councilman and the sheriff at odds over some conspiracy involving the propane.
A few minutes into the episode, an invisible barrier drops down in the middle of the field where the mysterious man, whose name is Barbie (yes, you read that right), is standing. In what has become the trademark visual of this series, the barrier slices a cow in half, as well as other objects, as it lands. The barrier delivers an initial shock when someone first touches it, and it blocks out sounds and electronic communications for most part. Chester's Mill's Sheriff, Duke Perkins, investigates with his deputies, and the barrier appears to encircle the entire town. It also reaches very high as an airplane flying overhead crumples as it flies into the barrier's area.
Two young people, Joe and Norrie, seem to have a special connection to the dome as they both have a seizure when they come into close proximity of the dome. As they convulse, they chant repeatedly, "the Pink Stars are falling in lines." Another young person, Angie serves up some foreshadowing as she compares the trapped townspeople to the goldfish in her fishbowl: 'the strong ate the weak.'
Brian and the show writers do a good job of setting the foundation for an intriguing show beyond the premise of mysterious dome surrounding the town. In a nod to LOST fans, Jeff Fahey (aka Frank Lapidus) is cast as Sheriff Duke Perkins in the season premiere.
That being said, the quality of the writing suffers a bit as the show tries to establish all of the major of the characters in the initial episode. It is a bit too much to cram into a single one-hour block. The premise of the show is interesting though, and I look forward to quality improving as the series goes on.
If you would like to catch up with "Under the Dome", Amazon Prime is advertised as the exclusive streaming provider for the series. Let us know what you think of the show in the comments section below.

UNDER THE DOME Review: Episode 11: "Speak of the Devil"


"What is the first thing you'll do in your new body in heaven?
Every other Saturday afternoon, before each Titan wheelchair sports scrimmage, up to 30 Titans and youth volunteers gather for a short devotion…to share their challenges and fears, but also their hopes and dreams. This special time is called Power Half Hour and it is led by three young men, Garrett with spina bifida and Derek and Josh, both who have cerebral palsy. These young men are affectionately known by their peers as "The 3 Wise Guys".
The topic being discussed on a recent Saturday was heaven, and the first question asked by Derek was, "What is the first thing you are going to do in your new body in heaven?". The six youth volunteers, invited to sit in wheelchairs and join the discussion, perked up when they heard this question - their eyes scanned the circle of Titans wondering who would speak first.
The first to speak was Kyle who yelled out, "I want to see Katie!". You see, Katie had been part of the Titans for seven years before she passed away earlier this year. As others thought about Kyle's wish, a coach asked Alyson what is the first thing she would do. Alyson replied, "I think it would be cool to stand." Then Parr, whose father was listening in the bleachers, added, "I want to dance with my dad!" The six volunteers sat… listened…and began to understand the faith and strength ingrained in these young adults with physical disabilities.
Everyone should have hope for their lives here on earth and in heaven. Champions Place will provide young adults with physical disabilities a place to live safe, productive and independent lives in our local community. Just as important, our local community will experience their hope and strength, and it will be changed for the better.

When installing a heating system to your greenhouse, you must follow some basic requirements. Keep in mind that a greenhouse is only as efficient as its heating system—after all, providing a warm environment to your plants is the whole purpose of a greenhouse! When planning an efficient greenhouse heating system, everything has to be properly sized to cater to extreme temperatures and, for the sake of your pocketbook and the planet, carefully planned to avoid heat loss. Here's some basic steps to take to when it comes to creating an effective heating system for your greenhouse.
Knowing the correct length, width, and height of your greenhouse is fundamental to installing the proper heating system to ensure that it will always provide the correct temperature without over- or under-heating. This is necessary to provide your plants with the correct environment to support growth. Make sure you go through the process of measuring the greenhouse more than once to get accurate numbers.
Your greenhouse's heat loss will be amplified if you fail to include insulation measures in the structure. Insulation is available in a variety of forms and can be as simple as night shades or a polyethylene liner, or a more complex double glazing of the glass. While double glazing is efficient, it is a more costly option. For a more budget-friendly alternative, you can install bubble sheets instead. While they will have to be replaced every few years, bubble sheets are very efficient in reducing heat loss. (If your greenhouse shares a heated wall in your house, that will also provide insulation.) Be aware that some types of insulation can cut off light, so install nothing that is permanently fixed.
Once you have accurate calculations, you have to choose the right heating system for your greenhouse requirements. Some greenhouses are sold with a heating system included, but if you have a greenhouse that requires a separate heating system, there are several options. The first are electric-powered fan heaters, which are easy to use and won't cause pollution. These fan heaters blow hot air evenly and continuously around the greenhouse without leaving harmful damp spots within the structure. Another greenhouse heating option is a tubular heating unit that emits a soft, radiant heat. Instead of heating the air within the greenhouse, these units heat the soil and can be wired together to work in a parallel arrangement to produce more heat.
A third option for a greenhouse heating source are propane gas heaters, which are very heat-efficient, relatively cheap to buy and install, and suitable for larger greenhouses as they produce more than enough heat. An even cheaper option uses kerosene as fuel. While a kerosene heater is the least expensive to run and produces a good amount of heat, kerosene has a distinct odor and causes atmospheric dampness, which could harm your plants. Kerosene heaters also need frequent and constant cleaning to work efficiently.
Another efficient way to reduce heat loss in your greenhouse is to section off within the structure areas housing plants that specifically require high temperatures. You can then plan your heating system for that area of the greenhouse only, which will greatly reduce your heating requirements overall and keep your plants as healthy as possible in their own separate ecosystems.
If your budget can cover it, you can also install an alarm system which will warn you if the temperature within the greenhouse should decrease unexpectedly. This alerts you to take action in regulating the termperature of the greenhouse, as well as safeguards your plants from sudden cold shock.

Reading Now State Employment Development Department Swamped With Unemployment Claims
OAKLAND (KPIX) — Jobless claims in California continue to climb as the state slows the reopening of businesses. The Employment Development Department on Thursday reported 196,616 new claims for the week ending on June 27, bringing the total number to 7,081,284 jobless claims since the beginning of the pandemic.
The EDD reported it has paid out a record $37.5 billion to jobless Californians over the past three a half months but state lawmakers criticized the agency for not processing claims fast enough. Many unemployed people said they've waited weeks for their checks and their calls to the EDD hotline go unanswered.
Like millions of the newly unemployed, Patricia Tierney had viewed the Employment Development Department as a safety net agency, a place that she could turn to for help. She said, so far, the EDD has provided nothing but frustration.
"I'm now desperate," Tierney said. "Last night, I logged (online) to Cal Fresh and I've applied for general assistance because I have nothing left now."
Tierney applied for unemployment benefits on May 15, the day she was laid off from her job as officer manager at a private school.
"At least, in seven weeks, get back to me and just give me some hope that at some point I'm going to get my unemployment," Tierney remembered asking.
She said she has called the EDD hotline hundreds of times but got no response or update on her jobless claims. While she's waiting for the EDD checks, she's drained her savings while she cares for her disabled son and her 100-year-old mother. She worries she could soon lose her house in Sonoma.
"I'm not sleeping at night anymore," Tierney said.
State assemblyman David Chiu, (D-San Francisco) held a news conference via Zoom on Thursday with people who are also struggling to get unemployment benefits.
"I've been living on savings and, you know, that's going to run out pretty soon," said Taylor Whitehouse. Whitehouse lost her San Francisco bartending job and her other part-time job scouting film locations in March. She still hasn't received her EDD check after applying in mid-March.
"I called just repeatedly for four hours trying to get through. I can never get through past the recording," said Kathleen Maley, who talked about the difficulties of reaching an EDD representative.
"I've only received one payment in the last 15 weeks that I've been unemployed," said Jenni Rowe, who was an event planner for a Bay Area hotel.
Assemblyman Chiu said the EDD needs to increase its staffing, train new employees and upgrade its aging technology to expedite payments.
"The EDD is truly failing our state. People are suffering tremendously. We have constituents who have gone without benefits from EDD since March," Chiu said.
State senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who also joined the press conference, said the EDD has a workforce that can maybe handle a four percent unemployment rate, not the current 16.3 percent. The EDD is planning to hire 5,200 workers to speed up the claims and payments.
That can't come soon enough for Tierney.
"I'm really scared about the job market and the EDD and then, you know, the pandemic. All of it has been very overwhelming," she said.
Michael Bernick, the former EDD director, advised people to be persistent and keep filling out the paperwork. He said it may take a while but the EDD will eventually pay and the payments are retroactive.

TRUSSELL, JOHN (fl. 1620–1642), historical writer, was the elder of the two sons of Henry Trussell by his wife, Sarah, whose maiden name is given variously as Ketlewood and Restwoold (Berry, Hants Genealogies, p. 143; Visit. Warwickshire, Harl. Soc. p. 93). The family came originally from Northamptonshire (Bridges, ii. 51), but the branch to which Trussell belonged had long been settled at Billesley, Warwickshire (Dugdale, ii. 714–18; Harl. Soc. Publ. iv. 28, xii. 93, xiii. 359, xvii. 298, xviii. 225).
Henry Trussell's elder brother, Thomas (fl. 1610–1625) of Billesley, styled in the 'Visitation' the 'souldier,' was the last member of the family to own Billesley, which he sold before 1619 to Sir Robert Lee. In 1610 he wrote to Robert Cecil, earl of Salisbury, requesting his acceptance of 'a small labour composed by him and dedicated to his lordship, the object of which is to suggest means for supplying the king's private state' (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1603–10, p. 612); he was afterwards employed as government messenger (ib. 1611–26 passim). He married Margaret, daughter of Edward Boughton of Causton. He was author of 'The Souldier pleading his own Cause … with an Epitome of the qualities required in the … officers of a private company. The second impression much enlarged with Military Instructions,' London, 1619, 8vo (Brit. Mus.); it contains some useful information on the military practices of the time.
John Trussell, is said by Wood to have been a scholar of Winchester (but cf. Kirby). He settled down to business in that city, and took an active part in municipal politics. He became steward to the bishop of Winchester and alderman of the city, and served as mayor in 1624 and again in 1633 (Hist. and Antiq. of Winchester, 1773, ii. 289, 290; cf. Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1633–4, p. 377). But most of his time was devoted to historical research; in 1636 he published 'A Continuation of the Collection of the History of England, beginning where S[amuel] Daniel [q. v.] … ended, with the raigne of Edward the Third, and ending where … Viscount Saint Albones began … being a compleat history of the beginning and end of the dissension betwixt the two houses of Yorke and Lancaster. With the Matches and issue of all the Kings, Princes, Dukes, Marquisses, Earles, and Viscounts of this Nation, deceased during those times,' London, fol. Trussell's book is a very creditable production, and is much superior to many works subsequently written on the period. In fulness and accuracy of information it is, at any rate, comparable with Bacon's 'Henry VII.' He does not quote his authorities, but professes to have 'examined, though not all, the most and best that have written of those times.' Differing from the chroniclers, he eschews 'matters of ceremony' like coronations, pageants, and 'superfluous exuberances' such as 'great inundations, strange monsters,' and the like.
Trussell next devoted himself to the history of Winchester, and in 1642 he completed his 'Touchstone of Tradition, whereby the certaintie of occurrences in this kingdom and elsewhere, before characters or letters were invented, is found out. …' The work consists of five books, the second of which is dedicated to Walter Curll [q. v.], bishop of Winchester, and the fourth to Thomas Wriothesley, fourth earl of Southampton [q. v.]; it contains lists of the marquises, earls, bishops, mayors, and freemen of Winchester, besides accounts of local occurrences and antiquities. The manuscript, which passed through various hands, including those of Sir Thomas Phillipps (Wood, Athenæ, ii. 261, 270, iv. 222; Gough, Topography, i. 378, 387; Notes and Queries, 1st ser. vii. 616, 2nd ser. xi. 204), is now among Lord Mostyn's manuscripts (Hist. MSS. Comm. 4th Rep. App. p. 355). Bishop Nicolson guessed that it was too voluminous, and Kennett that it was too incomplete, to be published (Gough, Topography, i. 387); but it was largely used in 'A Description of Winchester,' 1750, 12mo, and in the 'History and Antiquities of Winchester,' 2 vols. 1773, 12mo (see vol. i. pp. vii, 219, ii. 154). Trussell also contributed, with Michael Drayton and others, to the 'Annalia Dubrensia,' 1636, 4to, edited by Captain Robert Dover [q. v.] He married Elizabeth Collis, widow of Gratian Patten, and left issue three daughters (Berry, Hants Genealogies, p. 143).

The Israelites Reach Mount Sinai 1On the third new moon after the Israelites had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that very day, they came into the wilderness of Sinai.2They had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the mountain.3Then Moses went up to God; the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the Israelites:4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.5Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine,6but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites."7So Moses came, summoned the elders of the people, and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him.8The people all answered as one: "Everything that the Lord has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.9Then the Lord said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with you and so trust you ever after." The People Consecrated When Moses had told the words of the people to the Lord,10the Lord said to Moses: "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes11and prepare for the third day, because on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.12You shall set limits for the people all around, saying, 'Be careful not to go up the mountain or to touch the edge of it. Any who touch the mountain shall be put to death.13No hand shall touch them, but they shall be stoned or shot with arrows; whether animal or human being, they shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they may go up on the mountain."14So Moses went down from the mountain to the people. He consecrated the people, and they washed their clothes.15And he said to the people, "Prepare for the third day; do not go near a woman."16On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, as well as a thick cloud on the mountain, and a blast of a trumpet so loud that all the people who were in the camp trembled.17Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God. They took their stand at the foot of the mountain.18Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke, because the Lord had descended upon it in fire; the smoke went up like the smoke of a kiln, while the whole mountain shook violently.19As the blast of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses would speak and God would answer him in thunder.20When the Lord descended upon Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, the Lord summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.21Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people not to break through to the Lord to look; otherwise many of them will perish.22Even the priests who approach the Lord must consecrate themselves or the Lord will break out against them."23Moses said to the Lord, "The people are not permitted to come up to Mount Sinai; for you yourself warned us, saying, 'Set limits around the mountain and keep it holy.' "24The Lord said to him, "Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you; but do not let either the priests or the people break through to come up to the Lord; otherwise he will break out against them."25So Moses went down to the people and told them.Chapter 20The Ten Commandments 1Then God spoke all these words:2I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;3you shall have no other gods before me.4You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,6but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.7You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.8Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy.9Six days you shall labor and do all your work.10But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns.11For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.12Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.13You shall not murder.14You shall not commit adultery.15You shall not steal.16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.17You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.18When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, they were afraid and trembled and stood at a distance,19and said to Moses, "You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die."20Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid; for God has come only to test you and to put the fear of him upon you so that you do not sin."21Then the people stood at a distance, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.The Law concerning the Altar 22The Lord said to Moses: Thus you shall say to the Israelites: "You have seen for yourselves that I spoke with you from heaven.23You shall not make gods of silver alongside me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.24You need make for me only an altar of earth and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your offerings of well-being, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.25But if you make for me an altar of stone, do not build it of hewn stones; for if you use a chisel upon it you profane it.26You shall not go up by steps to my altar, so that your nakedness may not be exposed on it."Chapter 21The Law concerning Slaves 1These are the ordinances that you shall set before them:2When you buy a male Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, but in the seventh he shall go out a free person, without debt.3If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.4If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out alone.5But if the slave declares, "I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out a free person,"6then his master shall bring him before God. He shall be brought to the door or the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him for life.7When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.8If she does not please her master, who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt unfairly with her.9If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter.10If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish the food, clothing, or marital rights of the first wife.11And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out without debt, without payment of money.The Law concerning Violence 12Whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death.13If it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of God, then I will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee.14But if someone willfully attacks and kills another by treachery, you shall take the killer from my altar for execution.15Whoever strikes father or mother shall be put to death.16Whoever kidnaps a person, whether that person has been sold or is still held in possession, shall be put to death.17Whoever curses father or mother shall be put to death.18When individuals quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or fist so that the injured party, though not dead, is confined to bed,19but recovers and walks around outside with the help of a staff, then the assailant shall be free of liability, except to pay for the loss of time, and to arrange for full recovery.20When a slaveowner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately, the owner shall be punished.21But if the slave survives a day or two, there is no punishment; for the slave is the owner's property.22When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined what the woman's husband demands, paying as much as the judges determine.23If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,25burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.26When a slaveowner strikes the eye of a male or female slave, destroying it, the owner shall let the slave go, a free person, to compensate for the eye.27If the owner knocks out a tooth of a male or female slave, the slave shall be let go, a free person, to compensate for the tooth.Laws concerning Property 28When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall not be liable.29If the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not restrained it, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.30If a ransom is imposed on the owner, then the owner shall pay whatever is imposed for the redemption of the victim's life.31If it gores a boy or a girl, the owner shall be dealt with according to this same rule.32If the ox gores a male or female slave, the owner shall pay to the slaveowner thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.33If someone leaves a pit open, or digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,34the owner of the pit shall make restitution, giving money to its owner, but keeping the dead animal.35If someone's ox hurts the ox of another, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the price of it; and the dead animal they shall also divide.36But if it was known that the ox was accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not restrained it, the owner shall restore ox for ox, but keep the dead animal.Chapter 22Laws of Restitution 1 When someone steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, the thief shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 3b (3b) The thief shall make restitution, but if unable to do so, shall be sold for the theft.2(4) When the animal, whether ox or donkey or sheep, is found alive in the thief's possession, the thief shall pay double.3 If a thief is found breaking in, and is beaten to death, no bloodguilt is incurred;4(3a) but if it happens after sunrise, bloodguilt is incurred.5When someone causes a field or vineyard to be grazed over, or lets livestock loose to graze in someone else's field, restitution shall be made from the best in the owner's field or vineyard.6When fire breaks out and catches in thorns so that the stacked grain or the standing grain or the field is consumed, the one who started the fire shall make full restitution.7When someone delivers to a neighbor money or goods for safekeeping, and they are stolen from the neighbor's house, then the thief, if caught, shall pay double.8If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall be brought before God, to determine whether or not the owner had laid hands on the neighbor's goods.9In any case of disputed ownership involving ox, donkey, sheep, clothing, or any other loss, of which one party says, "This is mine," the case of both parties shall come before God; the one whom God condemns shall pay double to the other.10When someone delivers to another a donkey, ox, sheep, or any other animal for safekeeping, and it dies or is injured or is carried off, without anyone seeing it,11an oath before the Lord shall decide between the two of them that the one has not laid hands on the property of the other; the owner shall accept the oath, and no restitution shall be made.12But if it was stolen, restitution shall be made to its owner.13If it was mangled by beasts, let it be brought as evidence; restitution shall not be made for the mangled remains.14When someone borrows an animal from another and it is injured or dies, the owner not being present, full restitution shall be made.15If the owner was present, there shall be no restitution; if it was hired, only the hiring fee is due.Social and Religious Laws 16When a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married, and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife.17But if her father refuses to give her to him, he shall pay an amount equal to the bride-price for virgins.18You shall not permit a female sorcerer to live.19Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death.20Whoever sacrifices to any god, other than the Lord alone, shall be devoted to destruction.21You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.22You shall not abuse any widow or orphan.23If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry;24my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children orphans.25If you lend money to my people, to the poor among you, you shall not deal with them as a creditor; you shall not exact interest from them.26If you take your neighbor's cloak in pawn, you shall restore it before the sun goes down;27for it may be your neighbor's only clothing to use as cover; in what else shall that person sleep? And if your neighbor cries out to me, I will listen, for I am compassionate.28You shall not revile God, or curse a leader of your people.29You shall not delay to make offerings from the fullness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me.30You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep: seven days it shall remain with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.31You shall be people consecrated to me; therefore you shall not eat any meat that is mangled by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.Chapter 23Justice for All 1You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with the wicked to act as a malicious witness.2You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice;3nor shall you be partial to the poor in a lawsuit.4When you come upon your enemy's ox or donkey going astray, you shall bring it back.5When you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden and you would hold back from setting it free, you must help to set it free.6You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in their lawsuits.7Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and those in the right, for I will not acquit the guilty.8You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the officials, and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.9You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.Sabbatical Year and Sabbath 10For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield;11but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.12Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may have relief, and your homeborn slave and the resident alien may be refreshed.13Be attentive to all that I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.The Annual Festivals 14Three times in the year you shall hold a festival for me.15You shall observe the festival of unleavened bread; as I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. No one shall appear before me empty-handed.16You shall observe the festival of harvest, of the first fruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall observe the festival of ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.17Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.18You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the fat of my festival remain until the morning.19The choicest of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.The Conquest of Canaan Promised 20I am going to send an angel in front of you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.21Be attentive to him and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him.22But if you listen attentively to his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.23When my angel goes in front of you, and brings you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I blot them out,24you shall not bow down to their gods, or worship them, or follow their practices, but you shall utterly demolish them and break their pillars in pieces.25You shall worship the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from among you.26No one shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.27I will send my terror in front of you, and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.28And I will send the pestilence in front of you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.29I will not drive them out from before you in one year, or the land would become desolate and the wild animals would multiply against you.30Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.31I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates; for I will hand over to you the inhabitants of the land, and you shall drive them out before you.32You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.33They shall not live in your land, or they will make you sin against me; for if you worship their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.Chapter 24The Blood of the Covenant 1Then he said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship at a distance.2Moses alone shall come near the Lord; but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him."3Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do."4And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. He rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and set up twelve pillars, corresponding to the twelve tribes of Israel.5He sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed oxen as offerings of well-being to the Lord.6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he dashed against the altar.7Then he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient."8Moses took the blood and dashed it on the people, and said, "See the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."On the Mountain with God 9Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,10and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was something like a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.11God did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; also they beheld God, and they ate and drank.12The Lord said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction."13So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.14To the elders he had said, "Wait here for us, until we come to you again; for Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute may go to them."15Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.16The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the cloud.17Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.18Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.

Daily Poll
Trump Caused This Riot?!?
By By Mike Huckabee
Wow, is there anything President Trump can't do? First, the media attacked him for falsely saying there was a terrorist attack "last night" in Sweden (he actually said no such thing, and he claimed the reference to "last night" just meant that he'd seen a TV report then about the spike in rape and other crimes in Sweden since the big influx of migrants, which is true). The media barely had time to accuse him of making up fake news (and that's their job!), when a riot in an immigrant community in Sweden inconveniently broke out the next night, with 10 cars burned and police injured. Some wags suggested that Trump must be psychic, or have a magic TV that lets him see tomorrow's news today.
But the New York Times has another explanation: Trump caused that riot in Sweden! Their story on the riot claimed that his "antagonizing" comments "were greeted with anger in Sweden," resulting in a violent clash between masked men and police.
It's not exactly clear how the New York Times reporters could possibly know the motivations of some anonymous, masked rioters over 3900 miles away, or why anyone in Sweden would want to attack police officers, riot and commit arson just to demonstrate how wrong Trump was for allegedly accusing them of being violent. It's just one of those things that only the superior intellects at the New York Times can understand. Say, maybe they're the ones who are psychic!
Please leave me a comment. I read them!

These people are so full of themselves they're starting to believe their own fake news. I think we should just listen to Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and whatever other conservative news outlets we can find and forget about the Clinton News Network and all the other fakers. They haven't come up with anything real or original in YEARS.
Ulla Larsson
I am Swedish living in Maryland. I read the news from Sweden online. The day after the riots had happened in Rinkeby (suburb of Stockholm) the news site svd.se (which is the most conservative national newspaper) wrote that the riots started because of police men trying to arrest one man for drug charges. This happened in the subway station and soon after the "protests" started.
Gertrud Borchardt
That is exactly what I posted on Facebook. I predicted, after that riot broke out, that Trump would be accused of inciting this riot. The MSM is so predictable.
Raymond S. Manlapas
Fake news are imaginary stories that are made real by the Mainstream Liberal Media ...
Monica M. Paolelli
Surely you predicted this exact response from the press as soon as news of the riots was released. I did.
For the most part, supporters of this administration are NOT boisterous, obnoxious and annoyingly closed minded. We are out there and we are mighty in number, but it's easy to become disheartened by incessant, exclusive media coverage of the opposite point of view. I believe much prayer resulted in a conservative victory and we will endure and succeed. Thank you for being such a significant link to the reality of the situation. :)
(Please do not publicly display my name. Thank you, Mike. God bless you.)

I remember a day when the power of the press meant there was a breaking story vetted in truthful and responsible journalism. News saddened me, inspired me, excited me, and sometimes swayed me to view the world and the people in it in a way I hadn't thought of before. Today, the power of the press is something entirely different. Journalism today is still powerful, but it is filled with biased, tainted, untrustworthy, and irresponsible opinions of its authors and publishers who abuse their power to promote biased agendas. Editorial and deeply heated opinions of newspapers and the media are no longer presented as such, but as "breaking news". The news media outlets are yielding a dangerous sword to sway the masses by invoking the emotions of the public rather than the use of their brains. That sword is sharp and it is dividing this country and its people. The media outlets are misusing their power and liberties and contributing to the social implosion we are seeing today. The media is promoting the ongoing disparaging of our President, supporting individuals breaking the law, allowing immoral minority thinkers the power over the majority, and they justify the evil agendas of a few presenting them as good. Aren't we, the American people, better than this? There is a bigger truth here, however, and that is we all have the same power the press has in the way we use our own personal social media, and unless we start using it responsibly, teach our children to use it responsibly, and hold each other accountable for doing the same, we will implode as a people. All forms of media has no accountability and that, my dear friends, in my opinion, is the root of our problem.
Christa-maria Posner Vierhaus
It is SO laughable that i hope EVEN the liberal progrssives see through it. Hopefully....
Robin Cadreact
He is the new scapegoat .. no matter what he does or does not do .. they will find fault in him.
I don't know what their reasoning is for a multi millionaire.. giving up his privacy and spending countless hours, including weekends.. trying to straighten out the mess our country is in.. for no pay..
Montie Escue
The main thing President Trump is doing is upsetting some apple carts. He just doing what he said and many can't handle that. Go Prez.
By the way Mike when are u coming back to Cornerstone Church in Nashville?
Paul Wesley Bowen
Basically, these are all those who thought that whatever they wanted was right and everyone else should go along with them. Trump won. You are seeing the fallout of "yes, Snowflake, there are consequences to being the center of your own universe to the detriment of others."
Christine Fithian
This is hilarious....what lengths will they go to to make out president "the bad guy". Thank you, Mike, for all of your posts. I really feel as though your posts and info are the only "real news" I can get nowadays, although Fox News is pretty good.
Kevin morgenstern
Trump already won.
This election keeps giving and giving
These liberal liars will eventually become too much for themselves to handle.
God Bless Donald J Trump
Its about time we have a president who gets things done efficiently while saving our taxpayer dollars. I only hope independant media can start bashing the liberal media to help DJT...

Q: Errors compiling SDL2 code I'm trying to follow a SDL2 tutorial at Lazy Foo: http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/01_hello_SDL/index2.php
I have done the tutorial and my window appears when the program is executed, even though I get a lot of compile errors when compiling the tutorial code. When I use the g++ compiler the errors are:
g++ sdl -w -lSDL2

I don't know what these compile errors mean or how to solve them. I tried using the gcc compiler but the same errors appear. Can someone help me learn how to properly compile SDL2 code? What is my mistake? My Makefile is as follows:

A: I do not quite know what the error means, but it seems like you are linking wrong files while compiling.
Since you asked I can tell you how I compile C programs in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(I only use text editor and terminal)
Here is the command:
$gcc main.c -o outputfile -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_mixer \`sld2-config --cflags --libs`

-lSDL2_image: library for image handling
-lSDL2_mixer: library for audio handling

Q: How to make android edit text uneditable when switch is off? I am brand new to android development and I am having difficulties trying to make my editText uneditable after a switch is set to off. The problem is that The switch function doesn't work. Even after it is set to off, I can still edit the text.
here is my code :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_profile);
        final View switch1 = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.editSwitch);
        final EditText mEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.bioTxt);
        switch1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (switch1.getContext().toString().equals("On")) {

                    mEdit.setEnabled(true);
                }

                else if (switch1.getContext().toString().equals("Off")) {

                    EditText mEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.bioTxt);
                    mEdit.setEnabled(false);
                }
            }
        });

    };
}

A: Switch has a function isChecked() which returns true if the Switch is in the 'On' position. Therefore your onClick method can just be:
public void onClick(View v) {
    mEdit.setEnabled(switch1.isChecked());
}

A: switch1.getContext().toString()

What are you trying to do here?  getContext on a view returns the activity that owns it.  It does not return anything that will turn into "On" or "Off".  You need to call some other function.  I'm not sure which, as it looks like its a custom view.
