An Insight to the Anglo Saxon Runes
Symbols and Alphabets of Anglo Saxon Runes
The runes which were put into use by the early Anglo Saxons for the purpose of alphabets in their writings are called Anglo Saxon runes. These runes or characters were collectively given a name, which was futhorc. The sound values of the first six runes from the old English marked the origin of futhorc and were developed from the elder futhorc, which consisted of 24 characters. The futhorc was widely known as the Anglo Frisian runes because they were also put to use in Frisia, which was before the Anglo Saxon settlement of Britain.
1 Theories
2 The Runic Tattoos
3 Meaning of the Anglo Saxon Runes
4 The British Era: Anglo Saxon Runes
4.1 Stone Cravings
4.2 Anglo Saxon runes Literature
4.3 Anglo Saxon runes Numbers, Symbols and Poems
4.4 Anglo Saxon runes Cards
There were two main theories which were followed by the people of the British era. Some believed that the futhorc was originally developed in Frisia and then was later adopted by England. On the other hand, the rest believed that the Vikings originally bought the futhorc to England, modified the futhorc and then it landed in Frisia.
However, it was from the 7th century that the Latin alphabets slowly started taking over and started replacing the futhorc alphabets. Some remained unchanged denoting an entire word but others were changed.
During this time, the demand for an Anglo Saxon runes translator grew higher because of the dire need of people for understanding the change in the alphabets. There were also people who used English as their mode of any communication as English was one of the main languages used by the people during the British Era. Thus, for the ease of communication and better understanding people usually made the use of English to Anglo Saxon runes translations and vice-versa.
The Runic Tattoos
There are a large number of Anglo Saxon runes tattoos which were then used by the people of the British era and is still used people. The tattoos not only consisted of a name and a symbol but a specific meaning behind every name and symbol. Based on the ancient Anglo Saxon runes, these tattoos were developed with a specific name, symbol and meaning.
The "Aegishjalmur Charm" is a runic tattoo which has the symbol of the 'helm of awe'. The purpose of the Aegishjalmur was to provide irresistibility and protection during the battle and hence the tattoo.
There are many other runic tattoos, namely, "The Fylfot", "The Valnott", "Sun Disk", "Thor's Hammer Pendant" or "Thorshamar", etc. Each of these tattoos are denoted by a specific symbol and thus carry a specific meaning to the same.
Meaning of the Anglo Saxon Runes
We can say, the representation or the calligraphy of the Anglo Saxon runes were based on the futhorc. Thus, it can also be broadly called as the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes. Each of the symbols which we see under the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes holds a specific meaning to it. Therefore, one can easily find the meanings to the Anglo Saxon runes by following the different Anglo Saxon futhorc runes characters and symbols.
The majority of the people of the British era understood the meanings of these runes thereby not causing any problem in any mode of communication. However, there were few people who were uncomfortable with the use of Anglo Saxon alphabet runes due to using another language for the same purpose, namely English. These people generally translated the futhorc runes back and forth using translators.
The British Era: Anglo Saxon Runes
Even during the British era, the Anglo Saxon runes and meanings of the same were widely used not only for communication but also for several other activities.
Stone Cravings
Runes from Anglo Saxon Era
Stone carvings are one of such activities. We have come across many stone carvings during the different eras where people used to write scriptures on the stones by carvings on them. Same has been found with the Anglo Saxon runes. These stones, which had the carvings of the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes on them have been collectively called as the Anglo Saxon runes stones. These stone carvings during the British era, which had the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes also represents the Anglo Saxon runes ks2.
Anglo Saxon runes Literature
The literature during the specified time period also had a lot of it based on the Anglo Saxon runes. Even teachings in different level were largely based on the same. This is largely because of the language followed as the mode of communication.
Anglo Saxon runes Numbers, Symbols and Poems
The Anglo Saxon runes worksheets, the Anglo Saxon runes numbers, etc were all of a kind of their own and was found in the rich literature of that time. The purpose of the alphabets. Numbers, etc as we find in the present day in our language, the same was found through the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes during the British era. There are many Anglo Saxon runes poems which were retrieved and when followed, showed the rich background of people in terms of literature.
Anglo Saxon runes Cards
There are also different Anglo Saxon runes cards having different images. From animals to people to an image of great historic relevance, etc. There is a large variety of such cards of the British Era based on the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes. These were not only flash cards having a specific picture with a meaning but there are also playing cards based on the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes.
Specific symbols along with the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes numbers were used to construct these playing cards. There were several other activities which were carried out through the use of these Anglo Saxon futhorc runes cards.
Latin alphabets did start to slowly replace the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes but it still existed and was used by many people until the 10th century to the 11th century. By the time of the Norman Conquest of 1066, the use of Anglo Saxon runes became very rare and thus extinct and then within a short time period the language totally disappeared. Sadly enough only less than 200 artefacts survived which bears the Anglo Saxon futhorc runes, from at least a use of 5 centuries.

Q: Java stream return 0 if no value Structure of object
Account
  Money amount
      Float value;

Actually I get sum like that
double sum = accounts.stream()
  .filter(x -> x.getBalanceType().equals("120") || x.getBalanceType().equals("120+"))
  .collect(toList()).stream()
  .mapToDouble(y -> y.getAmount().getValue()).sum();

If there is not value, it's there a way to return 0 if there is no value

A: Why are you collecting and then streaming again? If the list is empty stream wont do anything
double sum = accounts.stream()
       .filter(x -> x.getBalanceType().equals("120") || x.getBalanceType().equals("120+"))
       .mapToDouble(y -> y.getAmount().getValue())
       .sum();

An empty list will automatically return 0;

A: You can use the conditional operator, if the value is not present, you can return 0 in conditional operator.
You can change your map line as
.mapToDouble(y -> y.getAmount().getValue() != null ? y.getAmount().getValue() : 0);

The average consumer plans to spend $738.11 this holiday season, up 5.1 percent from the previous year, according to annual survey that forecasts holiday spending.
The National Retail Federation's 2005 Holiday Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch, is in line with NRF's holiday sales forecast, released last month, which expects total holiday retail sales to increase 5 percent over last year to $435.3 billion.
According to the survey, consumers will dedicate the majority of their holiday spending to gifts for family ($421.30) and friends ($78.99). They plan to spend $21.05 on co-workers and $44.16 on gifts for other people, including babysitters, teachers, and clergy. Other items holiday shoppers will purchase this year include decorations ($40.86), greeting cards and postage ($28.22), candy and food ($87.75), and flowers ($15.78).
Consumers will spend an additional $17.68 billion on non-gift purchases for themselves or their families this holiday season, according to the survey. Men will be the most generous when it comes to treating themselves, with the average male spending $108.87.
Books, CDs, DVDs, videos, and video games once again remain popular items, with 55.5 percent of consumers hoping to receive something in that category. Apparel is also another gift favorite, with 54.4 percent hoping to receive clothing or accessories this year. Other popular items on their lists include gift cards (52.3 percent), consumer electronics (38.4 percent), jewelry (26.4 percent), and home décor (23.3 percent).

Other consumers chose where to shop based on quality of merchandise (11 percent) or location (6.5 percent). Consumers also appreciate good, knowledgeable customer service, with 3.7 percent saying it was the most important factor when choosing where to shop.
According to the survey, 15.3 percent of consumers started their holiday shopping before September, with 6.3 percent starting during September. A total of 18.5 percent of respondents say they plan to begin shopping in October. More than one-third of consumers (37.4 percent) will begin their holiday shopping in November and nearly one in four (22.5 percent) will wait until December.

You will need the best bassinet stroller if your baby is younger than six months. Bassinets are highly economical (in that you will not incur the cost of buying a bassinet and a stroller separately).
However, buying a stroller with a bassinet option can be a daunting task and can be quite overwhelming due to the availability of many buggies of this kind and lack of detailed review information. In this review article, we have detailed reviewed some of the top rated bassinet worth every cent and learn when you should start using a stroller for your little one.
Life with your two adorable babies can be quite overwhelming at times especially when you want to take them out for a ride. A double bassinet is perfect for twins as it gives you easy access to both babies.

What comes into your mind when you have travel? You think of all the luggage and the long travel hours. Even more challenging is when you have to travel along with your newborn.
If you want to relieve yourself some of the travel stress- I would recommend you get yourself the Baby Jogger 2016 City Select Single.
What makes it qualify as a travel stroller with bassinet are the weight and the quick fold technology. The City Select is initially a single buggy but it can be expanded to accommodate the second seat and can even accommodate a Glider Board at the back to accommodate a third child.
For new moms, it can convert into a little pram with the help of the Baby Jogger Bassinet Kit. This kit makes use of the seat and the canopy to convert the stroller into a baby pram with a cushioned handle for ease of transport.

At times, you will want to take your baby out for some strolls then a car ride to the shopping mall. Getting a bassinet stroller with travel system will not only save you money but will also save you space in your car.

LIBERAL DEMOCRACY DEPARTMENT
The idea of liberal democracy begins with understanding of an ancient statement according to which freedom of one ends where freedom of another begins. Struggle for life and freedom as the greatest values of life, protection of individualism and sensible egoism as the main factors of progress, understanding the uniqueness of every person, irrespectively of his or hers appearance or personal affections created the system in which the will of society or of a person should not touch the limit where the basic rights of others begin. However, this for centuries this sacred truth had been attacked by the authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, unhealthy societies which existence is based on low common and juridical cultures and nihilism.
In Ukraine, which had been suffering under the soviet occupation for the last 70 years, violation of the basic human rights and freedoms as well as inability and unwillingness to accept diversity of human nature were nurtured in soviet schools and universities and they still have a major influence on our society. Unfortunately, neither police nor political representatives are interested in building the new functioning mechanism of rights protection. Their quasi-reforms only repeat European concepts, but still have a post-socialistic meaning in them. Understanding the government failure to change the structure of social values and establish the Rule of Law, the LDLU is trying to do everything in its power in order to implement the basic ideas of liberal democracy in our country.
The Department of human rights is a structural element of our public organization, which mission is to monitor the situation regarding protection of basic human rights, interaction with Ukrainian as well as international human rights organizations, analysis of Ukrainian legal acts, development of recommendations to public authorities and local government bodies and carrying out educational events concerning the human rights protection.
Among the Department's main objectives are protection of the basic human rights, including children's, refugee's and LGBTI community's rights, respect for the gender equality and struggle against racial and language discrimination.

Condor Liberation first sailing
Condor Liberation sets sail! Well-wishers gather at Baiter Park to witness her first official sailing
After months of preparation, Condor Ferries' new state-of-the-art fast ferry, Condor Liberation embarked on her first official sailing today from Poole to the Channel Islands, to much fanfare.
Hundreds of local school children and ferry enthusiasts joined the Mayor of Poole, Councillor Peter Adams at Baiter Park, Poole to watch this momentous event in Condor Ferries' history unfold. The large crowd cheered and waved flags as the state-of-the art-ship sailed across Poole Harbour, past Brownsea Island and the Sandbanks Peninsula.
Representing £50 million investment, Condor Liberation is the first of her kind in Northern Europe, and marks a new era in sea travel. With a trimaran (three hull) design, she offers greater stability and better sea-keeping abilities, providing a smoother ride for passengers.
Commenting on the maiden voyage, Alicia Andrews, Executive Director – Commercial at Condor Ferries, said: "Today marked a very important milestone in the history of Condor Ferries. We are very excited to welcome Condor Liberation into service and delighted to see the huge crowd gathered at Baiter Park to help us celebrate this momentous occasion.
"Bringing Condor Liberation into service has been a great team effort, not only from Condor but also from our many partners who have been involved throughout the fit-out process. Condor Liberation marks a new era of sea travel, and we are immensely proud to have her in our fleet. We hope our customers enjoy being onboard our superb new ship."
The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Peter Adams added: "There was a real feeling of excitement amongst the crowds of well-wishers gathered at Baiter Park. I was lucky enough to enjoy a tour of Condor Liberation prior to her sailing today and was very impressed with the facilities on-board."
Since her arrival into Poole on Boxing Day, Condor Liberation has undergone an extensive customisation programme to introduce an impressive new Duty Free shop - Adore, children's play area, plus a range of eating and drinking outlets. Passengers can now also choose from three new seating lounges, including two upgrade areas - the Horizon lounge, which offers panoramic views through floor to ceiling windows, and the Ocean Club lounge with its all-leather reclining seats and first-class at-seat steward service.
Condor Liberation will sail daily from her UK base of Poole to the Channel Islands throughout the summer, offering more opportunities to travel, improved reliability and a much greater level of comfort with smoother journeys.

How Joe Biden Can Solve the Pandemic, From Day One in Office

What We Must Do to Curb COVID-19 Before Vaccines Roll Out
Biden's 4 national security Cabinet picks testified. Here's what to know.
Original World News
Did the Trump administration know about possible Russian bounties on US troops in Afghanistan?
June 30, 2020 Own ltd
The past few days in American politics have been dominated by revelations that Russia may have paid Taliban militants to kill US troops in Afghanistan in 2019 — and that the Trump administration knew about the scheme and did nothing to stop it or punish Russia.
The New York Times reported Friday that US intelligence officials found evidence indicating that a unit of the GRU, Russia's military intelligence agency, had put out bounties on US troops in Afghanistan. It's not clear how many Americans may have been killed as part of this plot, but at least one incident in April 2019 that killed three Marines in a car bomb attack near Bagram Airfield is reportedly being investigated in connection to the alleged Russian effort.
The Times reported that President Donald Trump was briefed about the Russian operation months ago but chose to do nothing in response.
Trump loudly denied this claim on Sunday, tweeting that "Nobody briefed or told me, [Vice President Mike] Pence, or Chief of Staff [Mark Meadows], about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians," adding that "everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us."
But there's mounting evidence that this is false.
The Associated Press reported on Monday night that in March 2019, then-National Security Adviser John Bolton personally briefed Trump on the Russian scheme. Also on Monday night, the New York Times reported that the intelligence had been included in the February 27 edition of the President's Daily Brief, a daily summary of what the CIA describes as "the highest level of intelligence on the president's key national security issues and concerns" prepared specially for the president by his intelligence chiefs.
So what to make of all this?
Experts on Russia and Afghanistan say the underlying claim — that Russia paid bounties to Afghan militants to kill US troops — is quite plausible. Since at least 2015, Russia has attempted to undermine and weaken the US and its allies from the shadows, sometimes violently. The GRU has been the tip of Putin's spear in this effort; it makes sense that it would target US troops in Afghanistan in particular, a kind of delayed payback for America's support for anti-Soviet Afghan rebels in the 1980s.
"Russia, or at least some Russian agencies, apparently feel free to assassinate regime opponents in London, Salisbury, and Berlin," says Steven Pifer, an expert on Russia at the Brookings Institution. "It's not that big a step from there to going after coalition soldiers in Afghanistan."
But at this point, Trump's apparent failure to do anything about the revelations is becoming as big a story as the Russian scheme itself.
It seems pretty clear now that senior officials in the Trump administration have had intelligence of a Russian plot to kill Americans for more than a year and have briefed the president about it several times. Yet Trump not only failed to mount any kind of response but also seems to be, at best, alarmingly unaware of information he was apparently given several times, or, at worst, outright lying about his knowledge of it.
Either way, it's further proof that the Trump administration's approach to policymaking is profoundly broken. It once again raises disturbing questions about Trump's policy toward Russia. And now, lawmakers of both parties — and the mother of one of the Marines killed in the Bagram attack — are demanding answers.
"We're going to have a hearing," Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) told me. "And we're going to get to the bottom of this."
Is Russia paying the Taliban to murder Americans? And why would they?
Initially, it wasn't particularly clear how this Russian program worked or how solid the US intelligence about it was. But in the past day, the strength of the intelligence in question become disturbingly clear.
According to a Tuesday New York Times piece, American spies grounded their assessment in two major sources of information: interrogations of captured Afghan militants revealing the program's assistance, and intercepted bank records showing large payments from a GRU bank account to the Taliban. This conclusion is supported by the Afghan government's security forces, who captured a group of local moneymen who seem to have worked as go-betweens connecting the Russian government to the Afghan militants.
This finding, per the Times, helped "reduce an earlier disagreement among intelligence analysts and agencies over the reliability of the detainees." The intelligence was evidently compelling enough that the US shared it with its British counterparts (British forces are also active in Afghanistan as part of the US-led coalition fight, and may have been targeted as well, according to the Times).
Both the Russian government and the Taliban have denied the allegations, and the militants pointed out in a statement to the Times that they don't need any incentives from the Russians to want to kill Americans.
But experts find the claim fairly credible, noting that such schemes are broadly consistent with how Russia operates these days.
"Five years ago … it would have been very, very shocking," Alina Polyakova, the president and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis, said. "But now," she said, the Russians "feel like there's an open playing field — that there haven't been real consequences for similar operations in the past."

The GRU, the military intelligence agency believed to be behind the bounties, was also a central player in Russia's interference in the 2016 US election. The specific part of the GRU that allegedly issued the bounties, Unit 29155, tends to handle more violent operations — like the poisoning of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in Britain in 2018.
These operations reflect broader Russian strategic doctrine under Putin. Russia is, despite its nuclear weapons and massive oil deposits, a fundamentally weak country compared to its American rival.
Lacking anything like America's conventional military strength or global network of alliances, it uses covert operations as a form of low-grade asymmetric warfare — weakening the United States, which Putin sees as an obstacle to expanding Russian geopolitical influence, without having to court an open fight with a much stronger enemy.
The result is a military intelligence agency empowered to engage in covert operations across the world, ranging from hacking to espionage to outright murder, with the aim of creating chaos and weakening America's ability to serve as a check on Russian expansionism.
"If the higher-ups in the Kremlin didn't authorize activity in Afghanistan, this wouldn't have happened," Polyakova says. "The practical details of how they carried out the bounty program — I'm sure those details never go up as far as Putin himself. But the broader directive to undermine US interests certainly does come from the top."
Afghanistan is an ideal site for this kind of anti-American activity. War zones are inherently violent and chaotic, making it easier for the Russians to get American troops killed without having to do it themselves. It also serves as a kind of (perceived) symmetric retaliation for American involvement in Ukraine, where the US has given the government lethal weaponry to aid in its fight against Russian invaders.
It is also a sort of symbolic payback for America's decision to arm Afghan militants fighting back against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s. Reportedly, some members of the GRU's Unit 29155 are veterans of that war — and see getting Americans killed as a "dish served cold" kind of retaliation.
"Remember for some Americans, Afghanistan in the 1980s was payback for Vietnam," says Barnett Rubin, a political scientist at New York University who studies Afghanistan. "What goes around comes around."
This isn't just a more violent extension of the 2016 election hacking campaign, in short. It's a reflection of the way in which, under Putin, Russian foreign policy has become a project of attaining a particular vision of national greatness — a tool for avenging historical humiliations and restoring the Kremlin to its rightful place as one of the world's great powers.
To do that, America must be punished.
What did the president know, and when did he know it?
If the intelligence turns out to be true — and, again, we don't know that it is — then the Russian government hired terrorists to kill Americans. This isn't routine spying or even "cyberwar"; it's literally an act of war from a nuclear-armed power.
That's certainly something one would expect the president of the United States to be concerned about, or at the very least aware of.
The general expectation would be that the president would be briefed on the intelligence assessment. If the intelligence community has credible evidence about something so politically and strategically explosive, the president needs to know in order to start thinking about how to potentially respond. At the very least, he'd be expected to try to figure out just how likely it is that the plot is real — asking questions about the sourcing, for example, and how seriously he needs to take it.
But Trump claims he was never told about the intelligence because his officials "did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP [Mike Pence]."
Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @nytimesbooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad!!! https://t.co/cowOmP7T1S
And White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Monday that Trump hadn't been briefed because there isn't "consensus" among intelligence agencies about the veracity of the claims in question. "It would not be elevated to the president until it was verified," McEnany said.
But there doesn't need to be total agreement among every agency for an intelligence assessment to make it to the president's desk; for one thing, it's possible that not every agency has seen the underlying evidence (e.g., interrogation tapes and financial records) and been able to make an independent judgment. And, again, it was apparently credible enough to brief a foreign ally, Britain, about.
"It's one of those things that's serious and obviously seems credible enough to send all the way to the White House — the kind of thing you want to get to the bottom of," says Mieke Eoyang, the vice president for national security at Third Way, a center-left think tank.
Trump's top intelligence official, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, said in a statement Saturday that he had "confirmed that neither the President nor the Vice President were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by the New York Times in its reporting yesterday."
CIA Director Gina Haspel was more vague on the question of whether the president had been given the intelligence, saying in a Monday statement that "when developing intelligence assessments, initial tactical reports often require additional collection and validation."
But two reports from the AP and New York Times suggest Trump was briefed on the intelligence — not once, but multiple times, and as far back as March 2019.

"Top officials in the White House were aware in early 2019 of classified intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans," the AP reports. "The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump's written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019."
While the AP notes that "officials said they did not consider the intelligence assessments in 2019 to be particularly urgent," they also reported that "the classified assessment of Russian bounties was the sole purpose of the [Trump-Bolton] meeting." Moreover, they report that Robert O'Brien, the current national security adviser, also personally spoke with Trump about the issue (O'Brien denies this).
Separately, two intelligence officials also told the New York Times that the assessment had been included in Trump's daily briefing in February 2020 — with one official identifying the exact date of the written brief, February 27.
So a few scenarios are possible here, though some are more plausible than others:
Trump was never briefed on the intelligence, and all of these intelligence officials saying otherwise are lying to the press.
Trump was briefed on the intelligence several times and wasn't paying attention, didn't think it was important or credible enough to pay attention to, or just forgot about it despite being told about it repeatedly.
Trump was briefed on the intelligence and is lying about it.
Whichever scenario turns out to be true, any one of the three would be a damning indictment of the Trump administration's approach to foreign policy.
Whatever the explanation, it's a bona fide scandal
Let's take each of the three scenarios in turn.
1) Trump was never briefed on the intelligence, and all of the intelligence officials saying otherwise are lying to the press
This is extremely hard to believe.
For one thing, the New York Times's reporting on this has been extremely, almost surprisingly specific. The details on financial records, in particular, was reportedly included in the late February briefing on the topic.
Notably, the Times reporters cite a specific date — February 27, 2020 — as one where Trump received a President's Daily Brief with information about the Russian plot. This is really, really easy to disprove; if the information isn't there on that day, the White House could simply leak the PDB from February 2020 and embarrass the "failing" New York Times. If an intelligence official provided a specific date and the Times reporters cited it, they're probably pretty confident that it was in there.
On the off chance that the White House is telling the truth, it would still be not great for the White House. It would suggest that people in the intelligence and national security community don't trust him with information of this sort with regards to Russia — a fear that seems vindicated by the way the president has handled this issue since it's gone public.
2) Trump was briefed on the intelligence several times and wasn't paying attention, didn't think it was important or credible enough to pay attention to, or just forgot about it (over and over)
It may be hard to believe that a president might not remember being briefed about a Russian plot to kill American soldiers, but in Trump's case, it's certainly believable.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has repeatedly blamed the intelligence community for failing to warn him about the risk from the virus early. Yet the New York Times reported that he had been warned — but that he's so uninterested in learning, so unreceptive to new information, that he can't be made to internalize what he's told:
Mr. Trump, who has mounted a yearslong attack on the intelligence agencies, is particularly difficult to brief on critical national security matters, according to interviews with 10 current and former intelligence officials familiar with his intelligence briefings.
The president veers off on tangents and getting him back on topic is difficult, they said. He has a short attention span and rarely, if ever, reads intelligence reports, relying instead on conservative media and his friends for information. He is unashamed to interrupt intelligence officers and riff based on tips or gossip he hears from the former casino magnate Steve Wynn, the retired golfer Gary Player or Christopher Ruddy, the conservative media executive.
Mr. Trump rarely absorbs information that he disagrees with or that runs counter to his worldview, the officials said. Briefing him has been so great a challenge compared with his predecessors that the intelligence agencies have hired outside consultants to study how better to present information to him.
This is consistent with every insider account of the White House we've heard, from Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury to Bolton's The Room Where It Happened: The president doesn't read and just doesn't seem to care about learning things about the country he leads. It's entirely possible this disinterest in knowledge and policy explains why he's done nothing to respond to what sure seems like a Russian plot to kill Americans.
3) Trump was briefed on the intelligence and remembers it, and is lying to the American people
That the president and his staff lie all the time is something we've all just come to accept.
But in this case, lying would be particularly disturbing. The president has a strangely warm relationship with Russia's strongman leader, to the point where it seems like he doesn't take objectively threatening behavior from Russia all that seriously.
If Trump is lying, the fact pattern here is really disturbing. Former counter-ISIS envoy Brett McGurk, an Obama appointee who served under Trump, notes that Trump had multiple opportunities to raise this with Putin directly. Not only didn't he, but he actually worked to better Russia's international image during this time period:
PDB in late FEB includes Russia bounty intel (per NYT)
TRUMP spoke with PUTIN on:
APR 9, 10, 12
JUN 3: Trump says "common sense" for Russia to return to G7
— Brett McGurk (@brett_mcgurk) June 30, 2020
So this isn't just another one of Trump's lies, in short. It would be an epically bad lie — one covering up his decision to literally let Putin get away with murder.
This is all great for Russia
Given how bad the situation is, the Trump administration is defaulting to its typical playbook: lie and blame others. On Sunday evening, Trump speculated that the New York Times had invented this story out of whole cloth to hurt him:
This just so happens to dovetail with the official Russian approach to the scandal. Compare Trump's tweet with one from the Russian Embassy to the United States on Saturday:
"Seeing the Kremlin and the White House aligned on the narrative around this is really shocking to me," says Polyakova. "These kinds of operations are intentionally [designed for] plausible deniability by the Kremlin. … It's in chaos and in ambiguity that they [the Russians] thrive."
The problem here, at base, is that the president is both unreliable and uninterested in the actual mechanics of US policy (both foreign and domestic). In the American system, the president has an indispensable role in foreign policy decision-making. Only the president can adjudicate among different bureaucratic interests and set an overarching policy.
When you have a leader who will not and maybe cannot play that role, the entire ship of American state becomes rudderless. US foreign policy becomes unfocused and chaotic.
And that's exactly how the Russians like it.

Q: how to initialize a typescript interface with a variable key See the following code:
function createObj(key: string, value:unknown) {
  const obj = {};
  obj[key] = value;
  return obj;
}

gives error:

TS7053: Element implicitly has an 'any' type because expression of type 'string' can't be used to index type '{}'.   No index signature with a parameter of type 'string' was found on type '{}'.

I know I could write it as
  const obj = {} as Record<string, unknown>;

but I wonder if I could initialize the object in one statement, like
  const obj = {
    key: value
  };

which does not work because key is a string literal here and not the value of variable key.

A: One can use computed property names (referenced by another answer) as follows:
function createObj(key: string, value: unknown) {
  return {
    [key]: value,
  };
}

A: WHen you create literal empty object on the fly, TS forbids you to add any properties to it, because according to inference, it should be empty. I am talking about this line:
  const obj = {};

Hence, in order to make it in TS way, you need to infer provided arguments:

function createObj<Key extends PropertyKey, Value>(key: Key, value: Value): Record<Key, Value>
function createObj<Key extends PropertyKey, Value>(key: Key, value: Value) {
  const obj: Partial<Record<Key, Value>> = {};
  obj[key] = value;
  return obj;
}

const result = createObj('a', 1)
result.a // number

Key - represents infered type of key argument
Value - represents infered type of value argument
I used Partial<Record<Key, Value>> type for obj. For Partial and Record see docs.
Partial - all values are optional
Record - represents a hash map data structure (regular object in javascript)
As you might have noticed, result.a infered as a number.
We can do better. Just add type Json:
type Json =
  | null
  | undefined
  | string
  | number
  | Array<Json>
  | { [prop: string]: Json }

function createObj<Key extends PropertyKey, Value>(key: Key, value: Value): Record<Key, Value>
function createObj<Key extends PropertyKey, Value>(key: Key, value: Value) {
  const obj: Partial<Record<Key, Value>> = {};
  obj[key] = value;
  return obj;
}

const result = createObj('a', 1)
result.a // 1

Now, result.a is 1


Hello there! Thanks for checking out my Ghent guide ;) In this post I want to share some of the cool places I have discovered in Ghent during a day trip to this amazing city. Actually, I very very rarely visit Ghent. Don't ask me why, because I have no clue.
This time, I was invited by Liesje, a young woman who started her own company in travelguides, Loomies. Basically, Loomies plans your day trip to Ghent in terms of food, coffee and cultural places, saving you a lot of time and effort. I really liked the places her guide (a cute booklet) took me from lunch to coffee to dinner. Great day! Make sure you check out her website, if you'd like to have some more information.
Apart from her tips, I looked for some cool locations myself, as I can't stop myself from looking for cool places in cities that I'll be visiting (oops) :) Hope you like them!
O'YO (Brabantdam 82) - It would be stupid to share every single spot Liesje from Loomies sent me to, so I'm sharing the one I liked the most: O'YO. O'YO is the perfect place to enjoy a healthy breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake. Oh and to if you want, they have take away too!
The well-known Graffiti Street (Werregarenstraat) - I wish I could say that this is a hidden gem of Ghent, but it's not. Sorry about that :) Buttt, it's worth going there, as the walls of this street change constantly thanks to a lot of talented street artists, who are free to decorate it as they please.
Mie Vie (Serpentstraat 28) - A great vegan sandwich bar, about which I've read a lot, but unfortunately I just had lunch, so I wasn't able to taste their food myself. I do want to share this one up here, as I think a lot of you might be interested in a nice vegan alternative :) Hope to be checking this one out soon!
Tip! Don't miss the stairs next to the water, so that you can follow the paths that are alongside of the Leie. You really get to see a different side of Ghent.

An Interesting read: Harris-Scott v. Jackson
This is a lawsuit that's filed against Michael due to paranoid ideation. Obviously there's no case or proof of anything and the case is thrown out and now even the Appeal court is rejecting the request of appeal. It's an interesting read to see what was claimed.
HARRIS-SCOTT v. BRANCA
HELEN M. HARRIS-SCOTT, Plaintiff and Appellant,
JOHN BRANCA, as Special Administrator, etc., et al., Defendants and Respondents.
No. B224595.
Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Two.
Filed January 30, 2012.
Helen M. Harris-Scott, in pro. per., for Plaintiff and Appellant.
Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & Aldisert, Howard L. Weitzman, Laura D. Castner for Defendants and Respondents.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS
BOREN, P.J.
Helen M. Harris-Scott sued singer Michael Jackson for allegedly harassing, stalking and threatening her for two decades. Based on plaintiff's admissions that she has no personal knowledge of Jackson's alleged misconduct, the trial court granted Jackson's motion for summary judgment. We affirm the judgment. Plaintiff has not raised any triable issues of material fact.
This is the second appeal in this case. Previously, we reinstated plaintiff's lawsuit after it was improperly dismissed. Plaintiff attempted to serve Jackson many times without success. The trial court refused her request to serve summons by publication, granted Jackson's request to quash the summons, and dismissed the case with prejudice. We reversed. (Harris-Scott v. Jackson (Aug. 7, 2008, B200107) [nonpub. opn.].)
Plaintiff alleges that she has suffered emotional distress "through death threats, and an invasion of privacy—breaking into the plaintiff's house many times—hooking up surveillance and wiretapping equipment. Other harassment included[] automobile and brake tampering, preventing the plaintiff from getting to work. In addition, this defendant has hindered the professional success of the plaintiff—spreading vicious lies to potential employers—and hindering opportunities—causing the plaintiff income loss and earning capacity." Plaintiff seeks an award of $100 million. Jackson answered and denied the allegations.
In June 2009, Jackson moved for summary judgment.1 The basis for his motion is that: (1) psychiatric testimony shows that plaintiff's claims are the product of paranoid ideation; (2) expert testimony shows that there is no wiretapping or surveillance equipment in plaintiff's home; and (3) plaintiff admits to having no personal knowledge that Jackson committed any of the misconduct alleged in her complaint.
During her deposition, plaintiff was questioned about specific incidents of alleged misconduct by Jackson. Plaintiff revealed that she has no actual knowledge that Jackson is linked to any suspicious activity at her home or work. Rather, it is her "belief" that Jackson has a hand in everything that happened to her. For example, she testified that "someone would call and say hello and hang up. Could have been him. Had a light voice." Plaintiff speculated that Jackson was involved in the calls, noting that "For certain, I can't say it was him." Plaintiff believes Jackson caused equipment-damaging power surges at her home, without any proof that Jackson was capable of causing electrical surges, and she blames him for causing the "popping sounds" that she hears inside her home. Plaintiff believes Jackson was sending her a message when she saw people walking around with bandages on their faces.
Plaintiff sometimes hears "Helen" being paged on the intercom when she shops in department stores. While terming this to be harassment by Jackson, she admits that "who's to say it's me or some other Helen?" She was unable to locate a GPS tracking device on her vehicle, though she believes that Jackson is tracking her. Further, plaintiff asserted—without proof—that Jackson undermined her bail bond business by helping people to escape while out on bail. She has filed suit against the City of Los Angeles, the State of California, and the federal government, for their failure to stop Jackson from harassing her and covering up his alleged misdoing.
A psychiatrist hired by the defense examined plaintiff. During the examination, plaintiff admitted that she has never met Jackson. She believes that Jackson is imprisoned and that an imposter makes his personal appearances. Plaintiff has difficulty sleeping, fears for her life, and has a constant sense of apprehension. While plaintiff's distress is genuine, it is the result of paranoid delusions about Jackson, and her claims against him are "the product of her paranoid ideation." A private investigator examined plaintiff's home to detect electronic surveillance or wiretapping devices. Nothing was found. A computer expert examined plaintiff's home computers and found no software that would indicate keystroke monitoring.
In her opposition to Jackson's motion, plaintiff countered with no legally admissible evidence showing that Jackson was responsible for any of the problems she perceives—whether it be power surges, department store intercom pages, telephone calls, popping sounds or anything else. There is no proof of any surveillance, harassment or stalking. Plaintiff offered her own beliefs and speculation about a world of possibilities, not proof.
The trial court granted Jackson's motion. On April 5, 2010, the court signed a judgment dismissing plaintiff's complaint. Plaintiff filed her appeal on April 28, 2010.
Plaintiff failed to submit a proper record. She provided a clerk's transcript consisting of (1) the order granting summary judgment; (2) her notice of appeal; and (3) her designation of the record on appeal. Plaintiff did not include her complaint, Jackson's motion for summary judgment, the evidence in support of the motion, plaintiff's opposition to the motion, the separate statement of facts, or the court's judgment. A transcript that includes only the court's ruling is inadequate for reviewing the issues presented by the case. (Hernandez v. California Hospital Medical Center (2000) 78 Cal.App.4th 498, 502.)
Having failed to designate an adequate record, plaintiff has no evidence to cite in her brief. She provides no statement of facts and no citations to the record. A judgment is presumed to be correct, and the appealing party must affirmatively show error. (Hernandez v. California Hospital Medical Center, supra, 78 Cal.App.4th at p. 502.) Without citations in her opening brief to a proper record, Harris-Scott fails to show trial court error.2 "If a party fails to support an argument with the necessary citations to the record, that portion of the brief may be stricken and the argument will be deemed to have been waived." (Moulton Niguel Water Dist. v. Colombo (2003) 111 Cal.App.4th 1210, 1220.)
2. The Motion for Summary Judgment
The judgment is final and appealable. (Code Civ. Proc., § 437c, subd. (m)(1).) A motion for summary judgment "shall be granted if all the papers submitted show that there is no triable issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." (Id., subd. (c).) "The purpose of the law of summary judgment is to provide courts with a mechanism to cut through the parties' pleadings in order to determine whether, despite their allegations, trial is in fact necessary to resolve their dispute." (Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (2001) 25 Cal.4th826, 843.) A plaintiff cannot rely solely on the allegations in her complaint to prove that the case is meritorious, on a motion for summary judgment. (Parker v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. (1970) 3 Cal.3d 176, 181; College Hospital Inc. v. Superior Court (1994) 8 Cal.4th 704, 720, fn. 7.) Review of the ruling on summary judgment is de novo. (Kahn v. East Side Union High School Dist. (2003) 31 Cal.4th 990, 1003.)
The motion for summary judgment demonstrated that plaintiff admittedly has no personal knowledge that Jackson was responsible for any of her alleged problems, as shown in her answers to discovery questions. Plaintiff's belief that Jackson is persecuting her is based on pure speculation and "possibilities" that are unsupported by any proof. Just because plaintiff believes something is amiss does not make it so. She must prove that Jackson wiretapped her house, or telephoned her and hung up, or damaged her car, or tampered with her food, or interfered with her employment. Proof comes in the form of admissible evidence.
To give an example, it is not enough for plaintiff to say that "Mr. Jackson is watching her inside her apartment, because a Sears commercial appeared on her television screen, just as she was writing out a check to Sears," one of the undisputed facts in this case. There is no proof that Jackson had any control over the timing of television commercials. All plaintiff has shown is a common coincidence, not evidence of wrongdoing.
Plaintiff contends in her appellate briefs that there is "room for proven evidence." She states that "[a]nything is possible." Plaintiff had to supply admissible evidence when she opposed Jackson's motion for summary judgment. Without it, she cannot show the existence of disputed issues of fact, worthy of a trial. Speculating that "anything is possible"—including the conjecture that the FBI knows of plaintiff's difficulties—does not meet the applicable standards of law. No miscarriage of justice occurred when the trial court dismissed plaintiff's case. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13.)
3. Plaintiff's Claim of Judicial Bias
Plaintiff did not seek to disqualify the trial judge at any point before judgment was entered. (Code Civ. Proc., § 170.3.) She did not preserve a claim of bias by objecting to any alleged impropriety. (Moulton Niguel Water Dist. v. Colombo, supra, 111 Cal.App.4th at p. 1218.) In any event, there is no indication in the record that the trial court was biased against Harris-Scott, as she claims in her brief. In fact, this was a different judge than the one who initially dismissed her case after quashing service of process. The court did not—and could not—accept plaintiff's feelings of persecution as proof that Jackson did anything wrong. Absent the requisite proof of wrongdoing sufficient to sustain plaintiff's allegations, the court properly dismissed plaintiff's case.
The judgment is affirmed.

Good morning friends. Monday kicks off a little project that Jemma and I have been talking about together. Because we all love acronyms, we had to come up with just the right name for this endeavor and so we are calling this The PERK Project. Our purpose is to be positive, encouraging, real, and kind.
We are planning to talk about different ways we can incorporate these ideas into our lives for the next four weeks. Starting Monday, we will be addressing Positive. This will include positive thinking, positive words, and positive actions.
Let's be real about the fact that the world feels like it's in a little bit of a tailspin right now. The media, the economy, health and family issues, and complicated lives can really get us down if we allow that to happen. On the other hand, we have choices to make in life and that's part of this project.
We hope you will join us in putting Positive*Encouraging*Real*Kindness in the world just a little more than you already do. We want to learn from you just as much as we want to share. Please add to this conversation in the comments as we go along. We are excited and hope you will be too. There will be giveaways with this project beginning with Jemma's the first week and one from me the next week.
You go, girls! We need lots more PERK in this ol world. I'm looking forward to following along. I was raised very negatively and have worked hard to be a positive person. Reinforcements are always good!
I look forward to it Stacey! Have a wonderful weekend.
I love this idea! Looking forward to it!
The world needs more PERK! Great idea, I look forward to seeing your posts!
This sounds great! See you Monday.
This is a fantastic idea! I'm going to give it some thought and hopefully be able to contribute. I definitely try to be positive in my life....I'm known for it! heehee! Enjoy your day sweet friend. Hugs!
Looking forward to sharing this project with you and these other fine Ladies!
Love this. I just posted a little something on IG and FB to encourage us ladies last night. I look forward to this series with you special ladies.
The country is in a bit of a tailspin these days. Tends to make me anxious. Looking forward to PERK!
The world needs a lot of PERKing and I'm pleased to join in with Team PERK to help! Great!
Looking forward to joining in, great idea!
What a wonderful idea and so timely, too!
What a great idea to foster PERK intentionally in our lives! And to lead others to join in... I am looking forward to reading yours and Jemma's posts and to reading all the comments.
Sounds like a fantastic way to share our feelings and viewpoints. You and Jemma are great together!!
LOVE this idea! You two are amazing ladies and I am soooo looking forward to The PERK Project! xo Have a joyous weekend ny friend!
A great idea. I'm also looking forward to joining.
Sounds like a great idea Stacey! Looking forward to it.
Sounds like a perfect way to be spending the next 4 weeks! Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you a day fille with friends and family.
On Friday I had an Instagram coming to do crafts and RUSHED to the grocery store for snacks hoping to get back before she arrived. A voice behind me said, "I need to catch a ferry in 9 minutes, can I go ahead of you?" I let him go and joked that a 2 hour ride out to the islands would not be very good without his snacks. All of a sudden the entire line was laughing and joking. One man said, "can I call Island Packers to tell them to hold the boat?" Another asked which island he was headed to and we all told him not to rush and risk a ticket.
Waiting in lines is never fun, but the urgency of the young man made us all laugh at 8 a.m. And, it was a great start to our days.
