Voice: The Realist Case for Impeachment The Realist Case for Impeachment...
The Realist Case for Impeachment
The U.S. president needs the public's trust to conduct foreign policy. Donald Trump has forfeited it.

States live in a world of anarchy, where no agency or institution exists to protect them from one another. As the political scientist John Mearsheimer likes to say, " If a state gets into trouble in the international system, it can't dial 911." For this reason, realists view international politics as a "self-help" system, where each state has to rely on its own resources and strategies to survive. To put it more simply, it's a jungle out there, and a state that wants to be secure often needs a strong, vigorous, and agile leadership that can do what needs to be done to keep the country safe.
That's why U.S. President Donald Trump must be impeached.
Wait a second: Doesn't foreign-policy realism suggest the opposite? In a dangerous world, shouldn't Americans give the president the benefit of the doubt, so that he is free to conduct an active and vigilant foreign policy? And wouldn't Americans be better off avoiding a constitutional crisis, which will only distract and divide them further and make life easier for their enemies?
No and no. Let me explain.
The Founding Fathers understood that we live in a dangerous world. The 13 original colonies were weak and highly vulnerable, and their recognition of the need for greater unity and governmental authority eventually led them to abandon the original Articles of Confederation and devise what is now the U.S. Constitution. They gave Congress the power to declare war, raise armies, and provide for other aspects of national defense, but they gave the president, as the head of the executive branch, authority over most aspects of foreign affairs. It is the president who appoints ambassadors, negotiates treaties, deals directly with other heads of state, and is ultimately responsible for orchestrating the government's policies toward friends and foes alike.
Over the past two centuries, and especially since World War II, presidents from both parties have gradually taken over more and more authority in this realm. Facing the Soviet threat, as well as the imminent dangers posed by the nuclear revolution, the United States established and maintained a vast military and intelligence establishment and took on more and more responsibilities around the globe. Not surprisingly, presidents from both parties sought and generally received the right to conduct a great deal of foreign policy in secret, ostensibly for the sake of national security.
Not surprisingly, most if not all post-World War II presidents have used the national security privilege to deflect awkward or politically potent inquiries into their own conduct. There's also no question that the classification system has run amok—even former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld complained about it—leading to enormous inefficiencies and encouraging a proliferation of leaks.
But as my colleague Jack Goldsmith recently argued, one area where presidents deserve a great deal of confidentiality is their private, one-on-one dealings with foreign leaders. In a dangerous world, we have to permit presidents (or their appointed representatives) to conduct candid conversations with adversaries or allies about highly sensitive topics—including issues involving war and peace—without worrying that the content of their conversations will end up on the front page of the New York Times.
But granting any president this level of trust—again, on the grounds that such latitude is necessary to preserve national security in a dangerous world—critically depends on a minimal level of presidential integrity. Americans must be confident that a president's dealings with foreign powers are intended to advance the broad national interest and not their own private ends. We can disagree with how a president is handling relations with another country or another world leader, but we have to be confident—not just hopeful but confident—that they are doing what they think is best for the country and are not just out for themselves.
Trump has been flaunting his disregard for this principle since day one of his presidency. He refused to divest himself of his real estate business and has openly advertised on its behalf at least 70 times since taking the oath of office. He has spent part of at least 378 days of his presidency at one of his properties (usually a golf resort), costing taxpayers millions of dollars. Foreign governments seeking to curry favor with the president have spent millions of dollars at Trump properties since his inauguration, while his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. burn up more money on Secret Service protection while they fly around doing Trump Organization business.
Foreign governments have been quick to discern this part of the president's agenda. As the memo reconstructing details of Trump's July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reveals, foreign leaders understand that flattering Trump and slipping the Trump Organization a few bucks is one way to get on his good side. So Zelensky is quick to tell Trump that he stayed at the Trump Tower when he was in New York, hoping this bit of kiss-up will win the president's favor. All it did, of course, was line Trump's pockets a bit more.
But now Trump has taken this sleaziness to the next level. Even a charitable reading of the whistleblower report and the White House's own reconstructed text of the phone call with Zelensky show that Trump was trying to use the promise of U.S. military aid to Ukraine to extract "a favor" (his own words) from the Ukrainian president. What was the favor? Was it closer strategic cooperation against U.S. adversaries? More intelligence-sharing that might be useful for counterterrorism efforts, or to counter money laundering, sex trafficking, or other crimes? Support for some new foreign-policy initiative that might make the United States safer?
None of the above. The conversation makes clear that Trump wasn't interested (or even all that well informed) about Ukraine's internal politics, its conflict with Russia, its prospects for economic development, or any of the normal things a U.S. president might address. What Trump wanted—and what his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had been pursuing for some time—was some dirt he could use in case he faced Joe Biden in the 2020 election, even though the Ukrainian government had already determined that no such dirt existed. Tellingly, Trump doesn't tell Zelensky to work more closely with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the national security advisor, or the Department of Defense; instead, he repeatedly tells him to cooperate with Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, and asks him to investigate Biden and the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike (the object of a right-wing conspiracy theory about the hack of the Democratic National Committee servers in the 2016 campaign). To put it bluntly: He wanted a foreign government to help him get reelected.
Reasonable people can disagree about what U.S. policy toward Ukraine should be, but what it shouldn't be is a shakedown scheme in which a sitting U.S. president tries to get a foreign power to invent a scandal that might help that president's reelection chances. Any president who would do that (and whose appointees would go along with it) has forfeited any claim to public trust.
Very importantly, the issue is not whether Trump has broken any specific U.S. law. As the political scientist Corey Brettschneider points out, the "high crimes and misdemeanors" that the Constitution says provide grounds for impeachment "is a category found nowhere in criminal law. The framers meant something broader: a demeaning or undermining of the office. High crimes are actions that abuse the public's trust in the president. Of course, legal crimes can also be high crimes; stealing money from the public treasury is both illegal and impeachable. But a president does not need to break the law to commit a high crime."
Make no mistake: this issue is not about whether you agree with Trump's handling of foreign policy. Every previous president has made foreign-policy mistakes, and some of them were real doozies. George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq was a colossal blunder, Barack Obama erred when he helped topple Muammar al-Qaddafi, and Bill Clinton blew it when he rejected Partnership for Peace and opted for full-on NATO expansion or when he fired cruise missiles at a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan. But there's no evidence that any of them made these decisions to feather their own nests or to tip an election with bogus charges. The closest equivalent that I can think of is Richard Nixon's efforts to sabotage the Vietnam peace talks in 1968 so that progress at the talks wouldn't give an edge to Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey. Tricky Dick wasn't president yet, however, and we all know how his presidency eventually turned out.
Remarkably, Trump is now leaving Nixon in the dust. As a private citizen he ran a crooked business, and it's been clear for a while that he's running a crooked presidency. He cannot be trusted with the authority of the presidency and the privilege of confidentiality that managing the nation's foreign and national security policy requires. Why? Because every time he meets with a foreign leader, we won't know if he is genuinely trying to advance the national interest or just trying to cut a sleazy deal to help himself. Now, his insistence on meeting with leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin without any aides present takes on an even more ominous light.
There is a second realist reason to favor impeachment. Because no single person is infallible, it is essential to debate policy options openly and to assess the results as honestly as possible. When leaders make mistakes—as all of them will from time to time—open societies with open access to information and debate are more likely to spot the errors and come up with alternatives. In a dictatorship like Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao Zedong's China, or Saddam Hussein's Iraq, by contrast, catastrophic policies can continue for years, because no one can tell the tyrant he's wrong. Trump isn't a dictator (though he might like to be), but he has consistently shown a deep hostility toward the core institutions that make democracy work. He denounces journalists with the Stalinist phrase "enemies of the people," directs his aides to ignore lawful congressional subpoenas, and now hints that the whistleblower who reported his malfeasance was "close to a spy" and might deserve execution. This worldview is well suited to a dysfunctional dictatorship, but not to a republic whose decisions about war and peace could affect the lives of millions of people.
Why favor impeachment now, given that Trump's deficiencies of character have been apparent for some time? Because impeachment is a political act, and the Framers made it hard to get the votes to do it because they understood the risks of making it too easy. Impeachment is moving forward because the whistleblower's report is a transparent case of Trump using his office and his control over policy to try to extract a personal favor. The White House staff immediately realized what he had done, so they tried to cover it up. The clarity of this episode—as opposed to the murky complexities of the Mueller report—has shifted the political balance. Among other things, it led more than 300 national security professionals—men and women who have served both Republican and Democratic administrations—to issue a public statement endorsing impeachment.
The bottom line is now clear. Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, or an independent, you cannot trust Donald Trump to place the interests of the nation ahead of his own, or to conduct a foreign policy that would faithfully advance the national interest. In the realist world in which we live, a world where even the mighty United States sometimes faces genuine dangers, that is not a risk any of us should be forced to run. That is why Trump should be impeached and eventually removed from the presidency.

Der amerikanische Künstler Duane Keiser begann 2004 mit dieser Bewegung, die das Motto "…create one small painting nearly every day, and sell that work online." (male fast jeden Tag ein kleines Bild und verkaufe es online) beschreibt. Mittlerweile ist das Daily Painting in Amerika weit verbreitet: hunderte von Daily Paintern haben sich auf der Seite www.dailypaintworks.com zusammengeschlossen. Beim Lesen des Buches: "Daily Painting" von Carol Marine entschloss ich mich 2015 dazu, dieses Abenteuer für ein Jahr selber auszuprobieren.
Von Juni 2015 bis Juni 2016 malte ich 5 Bilder (25x25cm) pro Woche und präsentierte sie auf diesem Blog. Jeden Tag ein neues Motiv auszuwählen, dieses Motiv an einem Tag (in der Regel in 3-4 Stunden) umzusetzen, sich nicht tage- oder auch wochenlang an einem Bild "zu verbeißen" machte mir auf Anhieb riesen Spaß! Es ist ein Unterschied, jeden Tag zu malen oder jeden Tag ein Bild zu malen. Man ist gelassener in der Motivwahl , sucht nicht verbissen nach dem Motiv und kann sich für einfache, alltägliche Motive entscheiden.
Dieses Jahr Daily Painting hat meine Karriere als Malerin entscheidend verändert. Nachdem ich früher viele unterschiedliche Techniken, Formate und Materialen ausprobiert habe, habe ich mit diesen kleinen Ölbildern nun meinen Weg gefunden. In etwas geringerer Frequenz ( 3-4 Bilder pro Woche) veröffentliche ich auch zukünftig kleine Ölbilder auf diesem Blog. Ich hoffe, sie gefallen euch!
My name is Sonja Neumann (Jg.1967), I am married and I have three children. Since 2005 I am working as freelance artist in painting – since June 2015 I call myself "Daily Painter".
When I was in a gallery in Berlin a few years ago I saw a picture of Edward B. Gordon and I was excited about his paintings. I read a lot about this painter and for the first time I heard about Daily Painting.
2004 the American artist Duane Keizer started with this movement, which describes the motto "create one small painting almost every day, and sell that work online." Meanwhile the Daily Painting in America is widespread: Hundreds of Daily Painters have joined together at www.dailypaintworks.com.
2015 I read the book "Daily Painting" by Carol Marine, and I decided to try this adventure for myself. From June 2015 to June 2016 I painted 5 pictures (25x25cm) per week and presented them on this blog. There is a difference in painting every day or painting a picture every day. And I became more and more relaxed in the selection of motives.
This year Daily Painting has changed my career as a painter. After I have tried many different techniques, formats and materials now I´ve found my way of painting!
I paint about 3-4 pictures per week (since January 2017 in 6 x 6 inches) and present them on this blog . I hope you like them!


On Independence Day in the United States, I invite the reader to see my blog posts from November 1 to November 14, 2013 on the American Revolution. These posts maintain that a movement in opposition to British commercial policies initiated by the American elite in the 1760s had come under the control of popular sectors during the period 1775-77; and that the elite forged a counterrevolution that culminated in the Constitution of 1787, which eliminated structures of popular participation and popular control that had been developed by the people and permitted by the Articles of Confederation. Thus, the US Constitution of 1787 was limited, not only with respect to its exclusion of blacks and women, but also in regard to its establishment of structures for limiting popular participation and with respect to its ignoring issues of social and economic rights. US political culture subsequently developed with a limited understanding of democracy that does not include the social and economic rights of the people or the right of the people to form popular assemblies. Nor does US public discourse meaningfully address the right of nations to self-determination and sovereignty, a democratic concept that would emerge during the world-side anti-colonial struggles of the twentieth century. The blog posts on American democracy conclude by calling upon the people of the United States to renew its tradition of popular revolution, which expressed itself in three historic moments, with the intention of replacing rule by corporate interests with rule by delegates of the people, and with the purpose of seeking to establish a government that acts in accordance with universal human values.
The blog posts on the American Revolution are as follows: "The US popular movement of 1775-77" 11/1/13; "American counterrevolution, 1777-87" 11/4/13; "Balance of power" 11/5/13; "Popular democracy" 11/6/13; "Social and economic rights" 11/7/13; "Right of nations to self-determination" 11/8/13; "The rights of women" 11/11/13; "Sustainable development" 11/12/13; "The limitations of American democracy" 11/13/13; "What is revolution?" 11/14/13.
Also relevant to our understanding of the limitations of American democracy is the fact that, since the beginning of the twentieth century, US foreign policy has been imperialist, seeking to promote the economic, commercial, and financial penetration by US corporations and banks, in violation of the rights of nations to self-determination and true independence. A renewed American popular revolution would have to include an anti-imperialist dimension, substituting imperialist foreign policy with a policy of North-South cooperation. For documentation of the imperialist character to US foreign policy, even under progressive presidents, see: "The origin of US imperialist policies" 9/18/2013; "US Imperialism, 1903-1932" 9/19/2013; "Imperialism and the FDR New Deal" 9/20/2013; "The Cold War and Imperialism" 9/24/2013; "Kennedy and the Third World" 9/25/2013; "The Alliance for Progress" 9/26/2013; "US Imperialism in Latin America, 1963-76" 9/27/2013; "Imperialism falters in Vietnam" 9/30/2013; "Jimmy Carter" 10/1/2013; "Reaganism" 10/4/2013; "Imperialism as neoliberalism" 10/7/2013; "The "neocons" take control" 10/8/2013; "Obama: More continuity than change" 10/9/2013; "Imperialism as basic to foreign policy" 10/10/2013.
To my compatriots in the United States, enjoy the hot dogs and beer. Here in Cuba, the Fourth of July is not celebrated, but it is acknowledged, out of respect for the traditions of the people of the United States, and in recognition of a day of historic significance in the democratic struggles of the peoples of the earth.

Rage 2 is a surprising sequel, to say the least. Not because of what's new or different here, but mainly because the original Rage kind of came and went… and then seven years passed with no hint that it'd be anything other than a one-off.
But after a brash debut at E3, we're glad to see id Software give this post-apocalyptic romp another shot. It lands like an amped-up Mad Max, albeit one that packs the kind of wallop we expect from an id shooter.

The answers, when taken together, accomplish two tasks. First, they determine whether a person tends to favor conservative goals or liberal goals. Second, they determine whether a person tends to favor small government or big government.
Once the person has taken the Quiz, those answers are evaluated, and are plotted on the Diamond Chart. ... People can easily see whether they are politically to the left or to the right. Some are closer to the center, and others are more toward the edges. At the same time, they can see whether they are toward the libertarian, or small-government, portion of the Diamond Chart, or closer to the statist, or big-government, area. ... A person is to the left or right of the center, and also to the top or bottom of the center. This makes it easy to get an overall evaluation of the person's political belief system. Rather than merely calling people conservatives, liberals, or moderates, [this] ... expand[s] the categories into more descriptive and effective terms.
For example, conservatives seek particular societal outcomes, such as strong traditional families, private property, or religious faith. Liberals, on the other hand, seek social justice, equality, or compassion. Yet, given these sets of goals, it is still possible to be a Big-Government Conservative or a Small-Government Conservative, to be a Big-Government Liberal or a Small-Government Liberal.
A Big-Government Conservative may believe that the best way to achieve his or her goals would be through tax policies that give breaks to traditional families or corporations, using the military to open foreign markets, channeling money into approved religious organizations, or through the use of speech codes to prevent discussion of anti-American ideas.
Meanwhile, the Small-Government Conservative may believe that any use of the tax code, military intervention, funneling taxpayer money to religious groups, or establishment of speech codes actually undermines the goals being sought, and would oppose them. Both of these are conservative in their goals, but have very different means of achieving those goals.
A Big-Government Liberal may propose all manner of social programs designed to rectify society's ills, such as Medicare, job retraining programs, wealth transfers, or speech codes to protect various groups from hatred. A Small-Government Liberal, while desiring the same outcomes, may look at these programs as merely causing other problems, and not actually solving the initial ones.
Thus, it is possible for a Small-Government Liberal and a Small-Government Conservative to have very different goals, but still prefer the smallest government possible. At the same time, a Big-Government Liberal and a Big-Government Conservative may both be pushing for expansion of government in their respective realms.
To the taxpayer, it often matters very little whether it is the Big-Government Conservative or the Big-Government Liberal who expands government, increases taxes, or imposes speech codes; it matters equally little whether it is the Small-Government Conservative or the Small-Government Liberal who makes government less intrusive and reduces onerous regulations.
In short, it is the amount of government, as much as what the government does, that affects people, and it is the amount of government that is not tested or evaluated by the traditional Left-Right political spectrum."

How gender and racial biases are hurting economics
A survey released this month by the American Economic Association reveals a disturbingly high level of gender bias in the field, with nearly half of the women respondents saying they've experienced discrimination and more than two-thirds saying their work wasn't taken as seriously as that of male colleagues. In addition, hundreds of women reported being sexually harassed, assaulted, or inappropriately touched by male colleagues.
(Photo: The Gender Spectrum Collection)
The voluntary survey completed by 9,000 current and past members of the association—both men and women—also shows evidence of racial bias in a discipline that has struggled to attract more minorities. Nearly a third of nonwhite respondents said they had faced racial discrimination, compared with just 4% of white respondents.
The results have prompted the association to take action to curb unacceptable behaviors and make the field more welcoming to women and people of color.
Olivia S. Mitchell, Wharton professor of business economics and public policy and executive director of the Pension Research Council, says she is now paying much more attention to the presence of "manels" in academia—or panels consisting of all men. "I think you have to be sensitive to that, and raise the point that there are other perspectives that we need to bring in."

Gulf Stream slowdown to spare Europe from worst of climate change
Europe will be spared the worst economic impacts of climate change by a slowing down of the Gulf Stream, new research predicts.
Scientists have long suggested that global warming could lead to a slowdown - or even shutdown - of the vast system of ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream, that keeps Europe warm.
Known as the Thermohaline Circulation, this system operates like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water from the tropics to Europe, where evaporation decreases salinity and density so that the water sinks.
As the world warms, melting icecaps and increased rainfall are widely predicted to slow this process down by flooding oceans with cold freshwater.
Some experts even fear that the process could shut down altogether, plunging Europe into a new ice age.
However, a new study by the University of Sussex, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the University of California, Berkeley finds that, rather than cooling Europe, a slowdown of the Thermohaline Circulation would mean the continent still warms, but less quickly than other parts of the world.
This would lead to a rise in welfare standards in Europe, concludes the research, which is published in the leading economics journal the American Economic Review.
Professor Tol, Professor of Economics in the School of Business, Management and Economics at the University of Sussex, said: "Cooling is probably a good bit more harmful than warming, particularly in Europe. People rightly fear that climate change would cause a new ice age.
"Fortunately, our study finds no cooling at all. Instead, we find slower warming: a boon for Europeans."
Of course, as ocean currents redistribute rather than create heat, slower warming for Europe means slightly accelerated warming elsewhere.
The study, therefore, adds to a growing body of evidence predicting a rich/poor divide in the climate change stakes. Developing countries will be less able to cope with rising sea levels, for example, and - as this research suggests - may warm faster than other, more developed parts of the world.

Mercedes-Benz car reviews
Mercedes GLC first drive: SUVving to consider
Joe Simpson | 23 May 2016
Future electric cars: Upcoming battery-powered cars that will be on the roads within the next 5 years
Price when reviewed: TBC
This is the Mercedes GLC. It's Merc's mid-sized SUV rival to the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. It's a significant car for the brand, because this is the first time Mercedes has had a car of this size, in this class, available in the UK. The old, square-rig GLK was a left-hand drive market only car.
Based on the new C-Class, the GLC is a significant 4.75-metres long, making it not only a good chunk bigger than its rivals, but liberating a really well proportioned cabin and big boot (550-litres since you asked, which is about 60-litres more than a C-Class estate).
And all that space is probably one of the reasons we'd bet you're about to see loads of GLCs on the road. For just a couple of grand more than the equivalent C-Class estate, you can have an SUV which gives you more space, a commanding driving positioning and something that looks more modern and sporty.
The GLC is therefore in an enviable position in this class. It's brand new, whereas its key rivals, the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, are ancient. Does it take advantage?
Mercedes GLC preview: Premium Plus
Jump into that spacious interior and things start off well. The modern Merc interior is a truly premium-feeling item. It's blingy and showy in a way Mercs didn't use to be (and in the eyes of some, still shouldn't be) but the overall feeling of quality and sense of where your money has been spent is far more apparent than in a Q5 or X3. It leaves a Discovery Sport interior feeling like a farm vehicle. But it means that, conversely, you won't be wanting to get muddy boots everywhere in here.
Of course, this premium feel is contributed to significantly by £7,800 of options that were thrown at our test vehicle. Inside, if you're going to go ticking options boxes, the one you really need to know about is the Premium Plus package. It's a chunky £2,995 option, but as with many of these types of things in the premium classes, it bundles together much of the stuff you both want and need.
Premier to that is the all-important Comand Online Media and Nav system with 8.4-inch screen, touch pad, voice control, speed limit assist, traffic services and emergency call. But you also get a panoramic roof, a 590W, 13-speak Burmester stereo system (which sounds the business), memory and electric adjustability function for the front seats, keyless go and ambient interior lighting.
Mercedes GLC preview: Diesel do nicely
We drove the GLC in 250d AMG Line spec. That means it comes with a 2.2-litre, 201bhp diesel (a lower and higher power version are available). The AMG is more expensive and more showy than SE spec — if you want a demure GLC, save money and go with the SE.
But in the Designo hyacinth red paint and with optional 20-inch AMG multi-spoke wheels, the GLC does look special — striking on the road, much less angular and fussy than the last generation of Mercs, and not without a level of elegance that we reckon is befitting of the brand. Of course, those you're behind (and your neighbours) will be in no doubt as to what brand you've bought, thanks to the massive 3-pointed star mid grille, and the pixel-effect grille texture.
The powertrain makes light work of shifting this 1.8 tonne SUV thanks to that 201-horsepower and exactly 500nM of torque (from just 1,000rpm), all running through Merc's new 9-speed auto gearbox (yes you read that correctly). Sure, it never feels fast, but nor do you ever really feel the need for more power. Reaching 60mph takes 7.6-seconds, and the GLC 250d overtakes well.
Only the slightly rattly, shrill diesel sound should make you consider a step up to the 350d V6 unit. Although the diesel noise is relatively well suppressed inside — it's only when you step out of the GLC with the engine running that you're reminded it's quite a coarse and loud unit.
Mercedes GLC preview: Down the road, not a track
Out on the road, the GLC hustles quite well. You always appear to be doing 10-15mph more than you expect, but the body roll which is often an issue with SUVs like this is kept relatively well in check.
Only the ride spoils things. Generally it's firm and well judged, but on the rougher roads — as you'll find all too often in the UK — it occasionally gets rather crashy and out of sorts. Blame the 20-inch wheels and AMG-line suspension; an SE on 19s is doubtless more Merc-like. Overall, it's refined and pleasant to both drive and ride in the GLC.
However, we can't comment on the car's off-road ability as we didn't get the chance to test it out, but despite 4 wheel-drive (4matic in Merc speak) the 20-inch wheels and low-profile tyres would rule out much off-roading beyond more than a gentle field, in this particular car.
Mercedes GLC preview: Taking Comand
The GLC gets the C-Class's on-board technology suite, with the Premium Plus pack meaning you get the full Comand media system. Without it, and standard, you get a 5.5-inch display of lower resolution, and a Garmin Map Pilot system — which we didn't get to try.
Comand works well, once you get used to it. Like BMW's iDrive and Audi's MMI it's easy to learn: you control what's on the screen via a tunnel-mounted control wheel, touchpad and associated buttons. We're least familiar with this system of the three mentioned, but it still works well with no nasties in the way of confusing menus. What appears on screen is generally high-resolution and the graphics are clear — particularly in the gauge cluster. We jumped in and were straight away able to pair a phone, make a call and follow the navigation system.
Overall, then, there's much to like about the Mercedes GLC. To get the true measure of it, we'd like to spend longer with one and try a couple of alternative versions — but short exposure here suggests that the 250d engine and AMG Line trim might be the sweet spot of the range, if you're happy with a firm ride and conversely don't need to play racing driver.
Beyond the Premium Plus pack the GLC well equipped — with standard reverse camera, DAB radio, power-boot operation and a truck load of safety kit, which you can dial up to full "we'll stop you crashing" with a £1,695 Safety & Security Pack.
At £39,595 standard, and £47,370 as tested in 250d 4Matic AMG Line form, the GLC is priced to compete directly with its obvious Audi and BMW rivals. And it does a good job at achieving its goal.

Starting, running and growing a small business is challenging. So it's not surprising that 84 percent of business owners surveyed consider the average small business owner to be a risk-taker.
The top 5 risks small business owners take?
Most small business owners take risks to build their business, not to save a sinking ship. For example, entrepreneurs know all too well that cash flow and having enough capital on hand are frequent obstacles to their plans. But sometimes the consequences of putting business activities on hold are greater than moving forward. These are calculated risks that entrepreneurs deal with all the time.
Today, entrepreneurs have more lending options than going to a bank and asking for a loan. Online lending has quickly gained traction as a way to access quick funding -- should sales start to slow or to add more inventory and staff when sales are surging.
It's easy to understand why. The Internet allows borrowers to secure lending at any hour of the day and on weekends. They don't have to take time during the business day to visit a bank or fill out a paper application. Everything happens online. Funding decisions are made in a matter of days, not week or months.
Sometimes the biggest risk is not taking one. For an entrepreneur facing a cash crunch, looking to expand or wanting to take advantage of an unexpected business opportunity, the ability to secure money quickly from a reputable online lender can be the next step in success.


How many boarders are there at Sandroyd?
There are currently around 100 full boarders at Sandroyd, This is approximately 60% of the prep school. On top of this, we also have a number of boarders who will board on one or two nights each week. Flexi boarders are those children who board between one and four nights a week.
All of the children in Years 7 and 8 are expected to be full boarders at Sandroyd.
Can my child weekly board?
All of our boarders can go home at the weekends. We do have up to two all-in weekends per term, normally the first and last weekend of each term, but otherwise, boarders can go home at the weekends.
How many boarders do you have in the school at the weekend?
In the 2017/2018 academic year, we had an average of 75 boarders staying over the weekend on a Saturday night, which is normal for Sandroyd. Some Saturday nights we will have over 100 boarders, and on our quietest weekends, we will have between 30 and 50.
Flexi-boarding and occasional boarding are possible in Years 3 to 6. Some children will board on the same night(s) each week and others may stay for a week here and there if their parents have work or other commitments elsewhere.
Are all the boarders in the main house?
Yes. Our boarding is split into four different Houses in the main house. Each House has a dedicated set of boarding Houseparents who look after the day-to-day pastoral care of the children. As the boarders move into year 8, they move into smaller dormitories to help get them fully prepared for boarding at Senior School.
What happens at the weekend at Sandroyd?
Weekends are full and exciting at Sandroyd. We make the very most of our stunning grounds and facilities. Each weekend our staff put on a busy programme of events and activities both in the evenings and throughout the day. These range from bike and pony rides through the woods, to treasure hunts, boat building, cookery, creative clubs and numerous swims and sports. On top of this, we offer occasional Sunday trips to go coasteering, to the Winchester Christmas markets, or to a sporting spectacular.
A typical Sunday will start with a slightly later breakfast of selection of cereals, croissants and bacon. The day is then split into four sessions, with a variety of different activities on offer for all age groups and interests during each session. This is intersected with one of our chef's (Robert) legendary roast lunches in the Dining Room. All parents are invited to join us for lunch on any day, Sundays included.
Our boarders don't have tablets or mobile phones at the weekends, so they are not glued to technology. They are being children – playing, being creative and exploring with their friends.
How old are the youngest boarders?
Children are welcome to board at Sandroyd from the age of 7 when they join year 3. However, we tend to have more boarders as we go up through the school and currently all of our year 7 and 8 boarders are expected to board at Sandroyd.
Most terms there are two "All-In Weekends". The first weekend of the term is always an "All-In Weekend". All full boarders are expected to remain in school and enjoy the wide range of activities on offer.
What is an "Exeat" weekend?
Exeat weekends are when the school closes for the weekend. All pupils need to leave the school during half terms and exeat weekends. We tend to have two exeat weekends a term. Exeat dates are published at least a year in advance in the termly calendar and on the website. We have escorted travel services to London Waterloo, London Heathrow and Devon every half term, beginning and end of term as well exeat weekends. The School Office is happy to arrange this for you.
When does my child have to return to school after a weekend?
Those boarders who have been out for a weekend either return on Sunday evening or Monday morning, as arranged with the Houseparents.
How can my child communicate with home?
There are many ways that children communicate with home and indeed this is actively encouraged.

Statement from NAHB Chairman Granger MacDonald on House Tax Reform Plan
Granger MacDonald, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from Kerrville, Texas, today issued the following statement on the House passage of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:
"The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a bad deal for hard-working American families. It provides a huge windfall to major corporations paid for in large part by millions of working class home owners, who will see their housing tax incentives severely diminished. The bill effectively renders mortgage interest and property tax deductions unusable for middle class home buyers and home owners. By threatening the value of the largest asset held by most Americans, these changes will hurt the middle class by lowering household wealth.
"The House bill also severely diminishes the effectiveness of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), which is essential to spur the production and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. With the nation already in the midst of an affordability crisis, undermining the LIHTC will deal a crippling blow to keep housing affordable and available for those citizens who are most in need. And the bill will make it far more difficult for small businesses to compete and thrive because it disproportionately benefits corporations.
"Given the major shortfalls in the House tax reform bill, NAHB will look to the Senate to craft a better package that meets the needs of middle class families and the small business community."

Take Heart
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33
All it takes is turning on the television to realize we live in a crazy world. We get bombarded with news about political unrest, racial disunity, a troubled economy, and many other unsettling tidbits. Disunity and disagreement seem to define our days. The talking heads have our heads spinning and reaching for the aspirin or, at the very least, the remote.
From a potential storm to the latest tech gadget, culture overhypes it as the latest and greatest until the next news cycle hits. From our budgets to the over-sexualization seen in movies and magazines, everything is over the top. Add in family distractions, financial stress, health issues and the uncertainty that comes with living in this world, it is no wonder that many of us are freaking out.
To catch our breath, we hop on social media only to find that was an even bigger mistake. People posting their picture-perfect life to Instagram adds to the pressure we feel. The noise gets louder as individuals give out their two cents on everything in 140 characters or less on Twitter. Someone drops a passive aggressive grenade and BOOM; our Facebook feed gets blown up.
The constant amusement to distract us from reality has backfired. Without even thinking, we can find ourselves feeding into the drama and, if we're not careful, addicted to it. Instead of responding to our circumstances, we react.
Even though we want to put our head in the sand because we are sick of the chaos, there is no way to escape it. This broken world is our reality. Due to sin, brokenness permeates our relationships and our systems.
So, how does one live sane in a crazy world? Is it possible to quit reacting emotionally to the chaos and instead respond to our circumstances with purpose and conviction?
We might not have any control over the world around us, but we do have a say in one thing: our response. We have a choice whether we want to act on our emotions or stand in the security of what we believe. As the church, we are called to be a city on a hill and a place of refuge. We're charged with living differently by being a steady force that others can look to when it is storming all around them.
This requires intentionality and purpose. It entails having the courage to head down a narrow road that exists in the midst of the chaos. Sanity doesn't come because we somehow changed our circumstances. We only experience it when we walk securely based on our convictions. We aren't at the mercy of the mad world. Instead, a King who leads a kingdom that is different than all the rest governs us.
How are you dealing with the chaos around you?
What do you believe is the key to living sanely in a chaotic world? What makes you answer in the way that you do?
God, chaos might surround me, but it doesn't define me. Uncertainty might want to rattle me, but I stand on Your firm foundation. Fear might attempt to shake my bones, but You provide me peace. Thank you for never leaving or forsaking me. In Your name, Jesus. Amen.

Q: python asking me for installed modules I'm trying to use a python 3 script that requires the "neo4j" module. I already installed the module in python 3, but when try to run the script again, it keeps asking for the module.
When try to run the program that requires neo4j module:
c:\Users\user1\Downloads\PlumHound-master>python3 PlumHound.py -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "PlumHound.py", line 12, in <module>
    import lib.phTasks
  File "c:\Users\user1\Downloads\PlumHound-master\lib\phTasks.py", line 12, in <module>
    from neo4j import GraphDatabase
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'neo4j'

When I try to install the module:
c:\Users\user1\Downloads\PlumHound-master>python3 -m pip install neo4j
Requirement already satisfied: neo4j in c:\users\user1\downloads\plumhound-master (4.2.1)
Requirement already satisfied: pytz in c:\users\user1\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\lib\site-packages (from neo4j) (2021.1)

Does anyone know or have an idea about why this might be happening, and how I can fix it? PD: The device is offline and i installed the module manually with pip.

A: If you're on Windows you can try running the following
python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())"

then cd to the output of the last command
dir

look for the neoj4 package and the corresponding version
cd neo4j-1.x.x/

and finally run
python3 setup.py install

If you're a unix based platform try running this.
$ which python3
~/anaconda3/bin/python3
$ ls
Anaconda3-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh  anaconda3  neo4j-1.7.2  neo4j-1.7.2.tar.gz
$ cd neo4j-1.7.2/
$ python3 setup.py install

Also try pip installing neobolt


The aftermath of a hurricane is what inspired owner, Anthony Donofrio, to open Stumpers in 2011. Anthony realized that after trees came down there were still unsightly stumps littering everyone's properties.
Since then, Stumpers has made it their mission to remove tree stumps quickly and affordably while guaranteeing 100% customer satisfaction. Stumpers may be a small family owned company but we have the equipment and work force to handle any size stump removal job.


I've had a lot of ramen. Truth be told, those bowls of ramen don't come from very many places. My inaugural non-Top Ramen bowl was at Shin-sen-gumi in Arcadia, but my favorite is (and the majority of those aforementioned bowls were from) Santouka with their Shio broth being the trump card to my ramen cravings. With those locations being San Gabriel and the Westside – and my new apartment being in Hollywood proper with Torrance and Gardena even further away – I became eager for other options. Ramen Jinya does a great job filling in.
Another confession: I have a bias against chicken broth ramen. Give me that chashu in all forms – fatty pork slices and fatty pork bone broth. So while Ramen Jinya is like Ramen California (so I have heard, haven't tried) in offering chicken broth options, I just have a hard time making the leap. So Tonkatsu and Premium (bonito-infused) Tonkatsu ramen it is. With, perhaps, a side of curry. In retrospect, it's not the most complementary side you can order with ramen, but I can always eat curry. For everyone else, I'd go with the gyoza. They're bite size, but they're good and have a proper crisp on the outside and a hot center. (Unfortunately, I was off form on my first visit and don't have a picture.) As far as price point, you can get a salad, side and ramen combo for $13.50 and a bowl of ramen alone for $8.50.
I'm not sure where my menma (bamboo shoots) were, and the egg was perhaps a little stale, but the broth was solid and less salty on my second visit than my first – a good thing. It could maybe use more body, though I did like the Premium broth better than the regular Tonkotsu. A bonus: You'll find yourself scooping soup less since the spoons are so big. The noodles, though, are my favorite thing about Ramen Jinya, and house made from what I could tell. They have good bite yet are plump enough to keep you satisfied.
Ramen Jinya is great for this South Bay-averse ramen lover. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll be adventurous enough to try the chicken. According to a tweet of Mattatouille's, however, I hear that the newly-opened Robata Jinya on 3rd Street offers their restaurant family's ramen – and I just so happen to work in Beverly Hills. Even better. Who can argue with accessible, good ramen?

Q: Passing var from flask to html TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ':', got '}' I keep getting an error saying:
TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ':', got '}'.

I've tried changing {{session['guess']}} double brackets to single brackets and without any brackets and neither works.
I also tried using {{game}} and that is also not working.
{% if {{session['guess']}} == {{session['game_num']}} %}

YOU WIN!

{% elif {{session['guess']}} > {{session['game_num']}} %}

TOO HIGH

{% elif {{session['guess']}} < {{session['game_num']}} %}

TOO LOW

{% endif %}

Please help!

A: Don't use {{ or }} inside a python block instead use {% %} to access values.
{% %} should always contain plain python code. Use jinja2 online editor here
 {% if session['guess'] == session['game_num'] %}

YOU WIN!

 {% elif session['guess'] > session['game_num'] %}

TOO HIGH

 {% elif session['guess'] < session['game_num'] %}

TOO LOW

 {% endif %}
