\section{Research overview}
\label{sec:challenges}

We have collected evidence of bot noisiness throughout multiple empirical studies as presented in Figure~\ref{fig:reserach-design}. First, we surveyed 205 open source contributors and 23 maintainers~\cite{Wessel2018} and openly asked them about the challenges of using and interacting with bots. To deepen our understanding of these challenges, we interviewed 21 practitioners experienced with bots, including project maintainers, contributors, and bot developers~\cite{Wessel2021CSCW}. The developers' most recurrent complaints are related to annoying bot behaviors. Those behaviors include the case in which bots provide comments with dense information ``\textit{in the middle of the pull request}'', frequently overusing visual elements, and the case in which bots perform repetitive actions, such as creating numerous pull requests and leaving dozens of comments in a row. These behaviors are often perceived as \textit{noise}, which can lead to information and notification overload, which disrupts both human communication and development workflow.

As noise emerged as a central interaction challenge from our empirical analysis, we have further investigated how to overcome it. We created two interventions: (1) a mediator bot that organizes existing bot information in a pull request, and (2) a separate interface for the bot interaction in the pull request~\cite{Wessel2022ICSE}. To design and implement the interventions, we applied Design Fiction~\cite{blythe2014research}, a technique that has been broadly used in the Human-Computer Interaction field to explore and critique future technologies. We presented to 32 open-source maintainers, contributors, bot developers, and bot researchers a fictional story of a mediator bot capable of better supporting developers' interactions on pull requests and operating as a mediator between developers and the existing bots. During synchronous design fiction sessions, participants answered questions to complete the end of the fictional story, discussing the design strategies for the mediator bot and raising concerns about the use of bots.

Building on the findings of our empirical investigation, we propose a set of guidelines for both bot developers and tool builders. All the guidelines are backed by the evidence previously collected and supported by the literature.

\section{Guidelines for developing bots}
\label{sec:guidelines}

To make bots more effective at accomplishing their tasks, design problems need to be solved to avoid repetitive notifications, provide consistency in the tasks being done, make bots adaptive, and provide clear and contextualized feedback to project contributors and maintainers~\cite{Wessel2021CSCW,Wessel2022ICSE}. To better design the next generation of bots, we provide a set of guidelines along with three main categories: designing bot interaction, facilitating bot adoption, and overcoming platform limitations.

\subsection{Designing bot interaction}
One of the essential aspects of bot interaction is communication. However, the existing bots might fail to provide meaningful information to developers. The most recurrent and central challenge is the introduction of noise into the developers' communication channels. Developers complained about \textit{annoying bot behaviors} such as verbosity, high frequency and timing of actions, and unsolicited actions. Therefore, we present a set of guidelines to support tool builders and bot developers in designing bot interactions.

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 1 (G\#1)}}
Provide clear, concise, and well-organized information.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent
\textbf{\textit{Interaction challenges:}} We evidenced the need for \textit{background knowledge to interact} with and understand the messages of bots on GitHub. Combined with \textit{lack of context}, it might be extremely difficult for humans to extract meaningful guidance from bots' feedback. In these cases, when a bot message is not clear enough, developers ``\textit{[...] need to go and ask a human for clarity}'', which may generate more work for both contributors and maintainers.

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}}
To reduce the cognitive effort to process bot feedback, it is preferable to prioritize conciseness over completeness. For example, a bot that informs developers whether the changes in a pull request affected the code coverage (i.e., a code coverage bot) should focus on reporting the overall result, and pointing to sources of additional information.

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 2 (G\#2)}}
Focus on an appropriate way to show information.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent\textbf{\textit{Interaction challenges:}} Another important aspect of bot interaction is the way bots should display information to developers. Developers frequently do not like it when ``\textit{[...] bots put a bunch of information that they try to convey in comments instead of [providing] status hooks or a link somewhere.}''

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}} Bot developers should identify the best way to convey the information. On GitHub, this can be achieved by exploring possible ways to show information on the platform, which can be either status information or comments. For example, a bot that looks over the code in a pull request and catches quality issues (i.e., a code quality bot) can comment on a pull request to report a list of code formatting issues found. In cases where only an overall status (i.e., passing, falling, blocked) is needed, it is preferable to use status information and avoid overloading pull requests with additional comments.

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 3 (G\#3)}}
Provide actionable changes to developers.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent\textbf{\textit{Interaction challenges:}} Another recurrent complaint from our survey and interview participants is that bots \textit{do not provide actionable changes} for developers. Some of the messages and outcomes from bots are so strict that they do not guide developers on what they should do next to accomplish their tasks: ``\textit{it is great to see `yes' or `no,' but if it is not actionable, then it is not useful [...]''}.

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}} Bot outcomes should be accompanied by actionable and technically sound recommendations by default for the decision-making of developers. For example, a pull request comment from a code coverage bot informing that the coverage decreased is not actionable. However, a comment accompanied by suggested changes is highly actionable because it helps developers to figure out the next steps.

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 4 (G\#4)}}
Avoid overly humanized bot messages.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent\textbf{\textit{Interaction challenges:}} Previous studies on human-chatbot interaction have already shown that human users can hold higher expectations with overly humanized bots (e.g., bots that say ``\textit{thank you}'') which can lead to frustration~\cite{gnewuch2017towards}. Our study results underscore that some developers feel uncomfortable interacting with a bot, as mentioned by one participant: `` `\textit{for some people, it is still quite strange, and they are quite surprised by it.}'' Also, receiving ``\textit{thanks}'' from a non-human feels less sincere.

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}} Although developers envision the bot mediator interacting with users through natural language, more direct, and non-humanized bot messages are appreciated. For instance, developers suggested avoiding sentences that do not add to the bot's feedback, such as ``\textit{Hey, I'm here to help you [...]}.''

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 5 (G\#5)}}
Make bots' purpose clear.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent\textbf{\textit{Interaction challenges:}} By automating and providing feedback on time-consuming tasks (e.g., checking code style or calculating code coverage), bots are intended to reduce the workload of project maintainers and inform project contributors. Nevertheless, maintainers reported that a challenge they see is that ``\textit{contributors don't understand the value of bots for maintainers.}'' We also found that developers with different profiles and backgrounds have different expectations with regard to bot interaction. Bots, for example, \textit{enforce predefined cultural rules} of a community, causing expectation breakdowns for outsiders.

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}} It is essential to make the purpose of each bot clear, avoiding expectation breakdowns from both sides. This may be implemented, for example, by including a footnote descriptive sentence or a link to further information about the bot in the bot comment.

\subsection{Facilitating bot adoption}
If maintainers find an appropriate bot, they then have to deal with configuration challenges. Thus, we present advice on how to facilitate the bot adoption process in addition to the guidelines for designing the human-bot interaction.

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 6 (G\#6)}}
Provide options to configure bot notification.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent\textbf{\textit{Adoption challenges:}} The study conducted to co-design the mediator bot prototype showed that open-source developers would like to customize aspects of the bot interaction, including notification frequency and timing. Therefore, it is important for bot developers to design a highly customizable bot, providing project maintainers better configuration control over bot actions, rather than just turning off bot comments.

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}} In the mediator bot design sessions, developers suggested \textit{scheduling of bot notifications}, so that the bot would avoid notifying developers according to (customizable) timeframes indicating when they do not want interruptions. This may be implemented, for example, using a ``do not disturb'' mode. Another option is \textit{not to notify maintainers until the condition is satisfied}. In this case, the bot would notify the developers only when the predefined conditions are met: ``\textit{I want to be notified about new pull requests after all my tests have passed. And after the bots commented, and if everything is green, then I want to be notified.} The recommendation is that these mechanisms are explicitly announced during bot adoption (e.g., noiseless configuration, preset levels of information).

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guideline 7 (G\#7)}}
Include documentation of alternative installation settings to accommodate different types of users.
\end{guidelinebox}

\noindent\textbf{\textit{Adoption challenges:}} It is \textit{difficult to tailor the bot configuration} to fit the needs of a project. Even after maintainers spend the time needed to configure the bot, there is sometimes no way to predict what the bot will do once installed. According to developers' experience, it is ``\textit{easy to install the bot with the basic configuration. However, it is not easy to adjust the configuration to your needs}''.

\noindent\textbf{\textit{What should bot developers do:}} Bot developers should document the bot installation, giving concrete examples of the bot outcomes and possible effects of each configuration choice, and keep it updated. This can also be implemented by creating a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section in a website or repository where the bot code is stored. This is also an opportunity for lowering the entry barrier for new project maintainers, who need to be aware of how each bot works on the project.

\begin{guidelinebox}{\textbf{Guidelines' takeaway}}
Bot developers should envision bots as \emph{socio-technical} rather than \emph{technical} applications, which must be designed to consider human interaction, developers' collaboration, and other ethical concerns.
\end{guidelinebox}

\section{Recommendations to platform builders}
To complement our guidelines, we also explored the platform restrictions since they might limit both the extent of the bots' actions and the way bots communicate. We, therefore, present a set of recommendations for platform builders that would aid bot developers.

\noindent\textbf{Recommendation 1 (R\#1): Enable multiple interaction mechanisms.}

\noindent{\textit{\textit{Platform limitations:}}} Our empirical investigation of bot challenges revealed some limitations imposed by the GitHub platform that restrict the design of bots. As mentioned by one participant: ``\textit{There are still a few things that just cannot be done with the [GitHub] API.}.'' The platform restrictions might limit both the extent of the bots' actions and the way bots communicate.

\noindent{\textit{What should platform builders do:}} It is essential to provide alternative ways for bots to interact on the platform. A developer stated that the platform ideally would provide additional mechanisms since bots interact only through comments. In other environments, such as Slack, developers can interact more flexibly with (chat)bots. On GitHub, this might be achieved by enabling distinct views of the same bot output depending on the developer's role (i.e., maintainer, casual contributor, newcomer) and enabling developers to filter and hide specific bot information.

\noindent\textbf{Recommendation 2 (R\#2): Consider creating a dedicated communication channel for bots.}

\noindent{\textit{\textit{Platform limitations:}}} The interviews we conducted with developers have shown that dealing with bots providing comments with dense information ``\textit{in the middle of the pull request}'' can be ``\textit{[...] a lot more distracting than it is helpful.}'' Bots may overburden developers who already suffer from information overload when communicating online.

\noindent{\textit{\textit{What should platform builders do:}}} To reduce information overload, participants suggested removing bot interactions from the main conversation interface and creating a dedicated place for them. We prototyped this strategy by designing a new tab in the pull request interface; this idea can be leveraged to reshape the interface and better display bot interactions. There is also room for integrating GitHub bots into other developer communication platforms (e.g., Slack, Discord).

\section{The mediator bot}

\begin{figure*}
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{prototype.pdf}}
\caption{Prototype of the interventions in a real-world scenario on GitHub. It shows the relationship between the design strategies for the mediator bot derived from Phase II (S\#1-6) and our proposed guidelines (G\#1, G\#2, G\#4)/platform recommendations (R\#1, R\#2). The interactive version of the prototype is publicly available on Zenodo~\cite{mairieli_wessel_2021_5675702}.}
\label{fig:prototype}
\end{figure*}

To alleviate the concern of bot noisiness in pull requests, we have investigated the concept of a bot that operates as a mediator between developers and the existing bots (i.e., a meta-bot). This section presents our mediator bot prototype and how it connects to the proposed guidelines. Figure~\ref{fig:prototype} provides an overview of the mediator bot design strategies, which we mark throughout the text with (\textit{S\#n}). Firstly, we split our prototype into two different versions: the experts' pull request interface designed to support maintainers and experienced contributors; and the newcomers' pull request interface. We designed a dedicated place for all information and events regarding bots in the pull request (\textit{S\#1}; platform recommendation     \textit{R\#2}). The mediator bot creates a \textit{summary} with the most important information about each bot, then groups them into \textit{categories} (e.g., ``warnings'', ``information'') (\textit{S\#3}; \textit{G\#1-2}).

To avoid inflating the pull requests with several comments from the mediator bot, one suggested strategy is to \textit{keep the most recent information} (\textit{S\#2}; \textit{G\#1}). We include the latest information from each bot in the summary. Reakit bot, for example, posted two comments in the timeline of bot events; however, only one entry is displayed in the summarized table for that bot. In addition, in the timeline of bot events, it is possible to expand all bot comments to see the complete messages (platform recommendation \textit{R\#1}).

In the newcomer's interface, we added a text-based message to fulfill the requirement of welcoming newcomers (\textit{S\#4}; \textit{G\#4}). Beyond presenting a welcoming message, the mediator bot also points the contributor to other sources that can contain information about rules, instructions, and requirements (\textit{S\#5}; \textit{G\#1}) of the project. Thus, we included a link to Reakit's contributing guidelines.

Another important distinction between the two versions is how the mediator bot displays the information for newcomers versus experts (platform recommendation \textit{R\#1}). We implemented an interactive process of displaying bots' information (\textit{S\#6}). The mediator bot guide newcomers by showing the information from other bots ``\textit{step by step}.'' Study participants deemed this strategy a potential solution to reduce the impact of receiving several different bot notifications simultaneously. As part of this guidance, the mediator bot also refers to contribution guidelines to assist newcomers and present a concise and direct welcoming message.

\section{Conclusion}

Motivated by the growing importance of software bots that act upon the pull-based development model, we have proposed guidelines on how to improve the next generation of bots, considering interaction, adoption, and development challenges identified in prior work. These guidelines can serve bot developers and contributors and maintainers of GitHub projects that use bots in two dimensions: understanding how bots are perceived and how they can be leveraged to support development tasks. Orthogonal to the guidelines, we have also explored the concept of a mediator bot, to alleviate the growing concern of noisiness among bot users. We envision that our guidelines will help developers to produce bots that better automate tasks and further guide developers in collaborative software development.

Luxury French fashion house and creator of the iconic Birkin bag Hermès has revealed some pretty exciting news: Come 2020, it will be extending its presence into the world of beauty.
According to Business of Fashion, the brand will be following the footsteps of its luxury fashion counterparts such as Chanel and Dior with the launch of cosmetics and skin-care ranges. Both lines will be developed in-house and then manufactured by third-party suppliers "mostly in France and Italy." According to the report, these new ranges will also feature plastic-free packaging; we're happy to see the brand is keeping sustainability in mind.
While the luxury brand has already had success with its multiple fragrances—along with products such as scented body lotions and soaps as a part of the range—this will be its first true endeavor into skin care and makeup.
Considering that most, especially younger consumers, aren't investing thousands of dollars into bags like the Birkin (or even a couple hundred for a printed silk scarf, for that matter), beauty products, that are typically available at a more accessible price point, are a smart way to appeal to the younger set and draw in new customers.
No other information or launch date has been announced as of yet, but stay tuned as we await more details.

Q: AngularJS - Failing to instantiate Controller on modal call I'm trying to make a CRUD operation in AngularJS by using ui-bootstrap modal.
I guess I'm not getting the idea of setting Controller's Inheritance and everytime I try to open a modal and call the Children Controller I'm getting an error:
Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: $modalInstanceProvider <- $modalInstance <- ChildCtrl
The parent view look like this:

        stuff to handle items.

The child view:

        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"  ng-click="close()" >
            ×Close
          </button>

Delete

      <form name="deleteForm" ng-submit="delete()">

some info about the model here

              <input class="btn" value="Delete" type="submit"/>

      </form>

The parent controller looks like this:
myApp.controller('ParentCtrl', ['$scope', '$modal', function ($scope, $modal) {

    //some stuff here
    $scope.delete = function (item, size) {
        $scope.modalInstance = $modal.open({
            templateUrl: 'views/delete.html',
            controller: 'ChildCtrl',
            size: size,
            resolve: {
                item : function () {
                    return item
                }
            }
        });
    };
    //some stuff here
}]);

And the child one, like this:
myApp.controller('ChildCtrl', ['$scope','$modalInstance', 'item', 'ItemService', function ($scope, $modalInstance, item, ItemService) {

    $scope.delete = function () {
        ItemService.delete({ id: item.id }, function () {
            $modalInstance.close();
            $scope.$emit('itemUpdate');
        })
    };
}]);

Thanks in advance!

A: Just remove ng-controller directive from child view. replace this line:

to

Your code should be like:

        stuff to handle items.

    /* here your html correspond to parent controller end */
    /*include child template here*/

The Miami Heat and guard Wayne Ellington have mutual interest in getting a deal done once free agency starts July 1, according to a report from the Miami Herald.
Ellington will be an unrestricted free agent, meaning his return is not guaranteed since another team could offer him a larger contract than Miami is able to pay.
The Heat have $120 million committed in salaries for the 2018-19 season.
In 77 games this past season, Ellington averaged 11.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists for the Heat, shooting 40.7 percent from the field and 39.2 percent from three.
In other Heat related news, Miami would like to move Tyler Johnson's contract, but aren't especially optimistic about it. The Heat have a crowded backcourt with Goran Dragic, Josh Richardson and Dion Waiters all expected to get significant playing time.
The Heat's backcourt could get even more crowded if Dwyane Wade decides to return for a 16th season.
Johnson, who averaged 11.7 points in 2017-18, is due to make $19.2 million next season.

The prevailing party in an original proceeding is entitled to costs if the appellate division judge resolves the proceeding after issuing an alternative writ, an order to show cause, or a peremptory writ in the first instance.
(1) In the interests of justice, the appellate division judge may award or deny costs as the court deems proper.
Rule 8.977 adopted effective January 1, 2016.


Bike parts are strewn out on the sidewalk while police officers question unidentified men about bicycles being dismantled below the Central Freeway on Duboce Avenue in San Francisco in 2014.
An ordinance to crack down on bicycle chop shops in San Francisco is likely to be approved by the Board of Supervisors, after its sponsor took steps Monday to ensure that it would not unfairly target homeless people.
Supervisor Jeff Sheehy's amended proposal puts the city's Public Works Department in charge of issuing notices of violations and seizing disassembled bicycles — a job that had initially been intended for the Police Department. It drew unanimous support from the board's Land Use and Transportation Committee on Monday and will go to the full board next Tuesday.
"We're not trying to criminalize anybody," said Sheehy, who for months has tried to fend off criticism from homeless advocates. Last week Jennifer Friedenbach of the Coalition on Homelessness sent a letter to the board, saying Sheehy's proposal "panders to the prejudicial premise that all those who live outdoors and own multiple bikes and/or parts must have stolen that property," and that it would fail to discourage bike theft.
Friedenbach argued further that Sheehy's law would put an end to a crucial form of entrepreneurship for homeless people, who she said often find bike parts or receive donated ones.
"The reality is that recycling bike parts is one of the few alternative economic venues for impoverished people to make a living," she wrote.
Sheehy made a final revision to mollify opponents at the meeting Monday, shifting the ordinance from the city's Police Code to the Public Works Code. That led progressive Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who had previously opposed the law, to switch to a "yes" vote.
Sheehy said that chop shops are a public nuisance because they spill ravaged bicycle parts and other materials — such as propane used for torches to cut the parts — onto public sidewalks.
Who's on the streets: Drivers for companies such as Uber and Lyft make about 170,000 trips in San Francisco on a typical weekday, accounting for about 15 percent of all car trips made in the city.
The data — part of a presentation that the San Francisco County Transportation Authority delivered Monday to the Board of Supervisors' Land Use and Transportation Committee — also showed that these drivers log about 1.4 miles for every mile they drive a passenger.
That could partly explain why congestion has gotten so bad in downtown San Francisco, where many of these intra-city trips take place. At peak times, speeds on the city's main thoroughfares hover at just 12 miles per hour, Transportation Authority officials said.
But, they cautioned, the city's development pattern is also to blame. In the past few years San Francisco has proportionally added more jobs than housing, drawing commuters from all corners of the Bay Area and from as far away as the San Joaquin Valley. While many of those people take public transportation, some drive.

/ Column / Infrastructure Outlook: Key Points You Need to Know About Aerial Photography
Infrastructure Outlook: Key Points You Need to Know About Aerial Photography
Admin on May 31, 2016 - in Column, Surveying/Mapping
By Sherry and Brett Eklund
No matter the project at hand, knowledge is power. The more perspective an engineer can gain when planning or completing a job, the better. An aerial photographer, offering insights and data that can't be gathered any other way, is an essential member of the team. Aerial photography provides an unmatched tool in evaluating a landscape before breaking ground, and it's extremely helpful for assessing project milestones and reporting to offsite team members and managers on progress. It gives a unique, comprehensive perspective that's difficult to obtain by any other means.
Chances are, on any given project, the services of a qualified professional are going to be required. When it comes to engaging an aerial photographer to ensure everything goes according to plan, a few key points should be considered.
Understand Options
The initial step is to understand the options available and their most-valuable applications. There are two general types of aerial photography: oblique and vertical. Oblique shots, which are caught from an angle to the subject, can help with site choice and assessment as well as provide land data and visual proof of varying conditions that may influence a structural venture. Vertical images, by contrast, are done when the camera is pointed straight down, and they're more-often used as a part of the structural-design world for the more-intricate strategies of photogrammetry and LiDAR.
Photogrammetry is a captivating practice and has numerous utilizations, but as it's by definition the discipline of making estimations from photos, it's especially valuable for structural specialists when scouting an area for a task and monitoring its progression. Precision is vital, and the picture taker's gear does make a difference. However, what's most essential from the structural designer's point of view is understanding his or her need and/or level of detail wanted.
An experienced photographer can provide pictures that enable examination of depth so detailed that leaves on the ground can be measured. Of course, if the need is for just higher-level points of interest (e.g., statues or edges of precipices), shooting for such accuracy may be superfluous and a misuse of assets.
LiDAR uses bright, ultraviolet or nearly infrared light to make detailed and precise pictures, and it's also used for making digital elevation models. One noteworthy differentiator when contrasting LiDAR with photogrammetry is its ability to depict regions sheltered by vegetation; it's conceivable to assess the landscape at a more-profound level to literally get deeper into the terrain. Again, this could be vital to the task or it may be unnecessary, depending on the project. LiDAR can be extremely valuable in evaluating the complexity of a landscape before pursuing an undertaking, whereas traditional photogrammetry is helpful for surveying and follow up to track project progress.
Choose the Right Team
When employing an aerial photographer, regardless of the task at hand, it's vital to choose the right team for the project. Every job will have its own unique set of requirements, and it's essential to know your needs and how they will match up to the photographer's competencies. Because the field of aerial photography is highly specialized and requires expensive equipment as well as aircrafts and pilots, options in a particular area may be limited. As such, it pays to call around and get estimates and price quotes from several sources.
Reach out to professionals in different areas and inquire about rates. Because the work intrinsically includes travel, many teams are open to booking shoots in different states and may have lower general rates, even with extra travel fees tacked on. Aerial photography is an industry in which every individual expert is allowed to set his or her own particular price points, so shopping around and investigating past work and client referrals could prove valuable.
The main takeaways: Recognize what services a given project really requires, and don't be shy about price shopping. As with all aspects of a structural building task, picking the best experts for each duty is Step One in guaranteeing a winning outcome.

an affair with his Mafioso buddy's mistress, Gina Gershon, and Penn's
gambling debts mount up, you can just see the bullet-ridden
handwriting on the wall. Directed by a Brazilian, Bruno Barreto ("Four
Days in September"), this is second-rate, cliche-ridden melodrama by
Jeremy Iacone - with the only surprise engendered by the dour
appearance of Amy Irving (now Mrs. Barreto) as a tough-talking,
no-nonsense FBI agent. Never has this talented actress delivered a
more robotic performance. And, no, Stephen Baldwin is not the Baldwin
brother who was arrested on drug charges after trashing his suite at
Manhattan's Plaza Hotel - that's the admittedly self-destructive
Daniel - but Stephen looks stoned throughout this film. On the Granger
Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "One Tough Cop" is a plodding, predictable,
unimaginative 2. In some cases, a dumb title doesn't necessarily mean
a bad movie. In this case, it does. A better title would have been
"One Dumb Cop."

Protecting Faith Communities Faith Leaders, FBI Collaborating to Keep Religious Institutions Safe from Attacks
Added by Staff Reports on July 12, 2019.
Saved under Crime, Law Enforcement, News, Spiritual
Assistant Director Kerry Sleeper of the FBI's Office of Partner Engagement speaks at a meeting of faith leaders at FBI Headquarters Tuesday.
Seven minutes, 24 seconds.
That's how long it took a gunman who opened fire at a Baptist church in rural Sutherland Springs, Texas, to kill 26 people. Many in the church on November 5, 2017 took cover under the pews. Tragically, that made them an easier target for the gunman. The gunman later died by suicide after an armed passerby confronted him.
From Sutherland Springs to Pittsburgh to Poway, it's becoming sadly common—worshippers gunned down during their religious services. Law enforcement and religious leaders met Tuesday at FBI Headquarters to discuss these threats and how to protect religious institutions. It was a conversation all parties wished wasn't necessary.
"Everyone who attends a service deserves the right to do so in peace," said Assistant Director Kerry Sleeper of the FBI's Office of Partner Engagement. "That's certainly our common goal here as we move forward."
FBI officials briefed attendees on topics like hate crime and terrorism threats and warning signs for shooters. They shared in-depth case studies on the shootings at Sutherland Springs and on the attack on a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in 2012.
While the events may seem random, many shooters do show warning signs before they act. In the case of the Sutherland Springs shooter, the gunman had a troubled history; he had been court martialed in the military and had a history of domestic violence.
Officials encouraged religious leaders to remind their communities of the warning signs so they can be handled appropriately at the local level. Depending on the threat, sometimes a simple mental health treatment referral is all that's required.
But when attacks happen, the FBI offers its resources to state or local law enforcement, who are usually the primary investigators. In Sutherland Springs, a rural community with a small sheriff's office, the Texas Rangers led the investigation. The FBI offered its national-level resources to the small community, services such as evidence processing and victim services, said FBI San Antonio Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Krupa.
As with all crime scenes on religious grounds, the investigative team took steps to respect religious traditions and sensitivities.
"It's still a sanctuary. It's holy ground, and we treated it as such," Krupa said.
While communities are concerned about violence, preparation does make a difference, attendees said.
Michael Masters, executive director of Secure Community Network, a security organization for Jewish institutions, said that active shooter training helped save lives at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh last October, where a shooter killed 11 people.
Just a few weeks before the attack, a security review showed that emergency exits were blocked. Those exits were cleared before the attack. The synagogue's rabbi didn't typically carry a cell phone on the sabbath, but he agreed to do so after the security training. It was the rabbi who made the call to 911 when the shooting started.
"Many of them credit that training with helping save their lives," Masters said.
The goal of the meeting is to kick off a national community of interest of faith leaders, so law enforcement can share threat information widely. Federal law enforcement agencies have similar channels with local police, the private sector, and school security personnel. After recent attacks on houses of worship, the FBI wants to expand that information sharing to faith leaders, Sleeper said.
In an interview after the meeting, Rev. Markel Hutchins, founder of One Congregation, One Precinct (ONECOP), an Atlanta-based organization that promotes police-community relationships, said the conversation is one congregants are eager to have.
"I think one of the benefits of this much-needed conversation is that the FBI and other agencies got a better sense of the enthusiasm that faith communities have to prepare themselves to prevent attacks," said Hutchins.
Prevention and Response
In Tuesday's presentation, FBI officials offered suggestions on steps religious institutions can take to protect themselves and their congregants:
Get to know your local law enforcement officers and first responders; invite them to a service. It's better to establish a relationship before a security incident.
Read and encourage your attendees to read the FBI's report on pre-attack behaviors. If you see something, say something.
Teach your members what to do in the event of an attack. Use the FBI's Active Shooter resources and Run-Hide-Fight training. Without preparation, human nature is to freeze. Simple steps like knowing where the exits are save lives.
Design buildings for security, including multiple exits, so people can get out during a shooting.
Make sure security cameras are working and that police can access the footage quickly in an emergency.

Taking Taiwan's Startup Scene to the Next Level
by Matthew Fulcoon May 12, 2018 May 9, 2018

The startup ecosystem has blossomed over the past three years. To accelerate its growth, additional regulatory overhaul is needed.
The Taiwanese government has vowed to create a homegrown private company worth US$1 billion or more in the next two years. Known as "unicorns" in tech lingo, these firms are the most celebrated startups in their respective markets.
The world's largest unicorns are in the United States and China. Ride-hailing icon Uber, valued at US$69 billion, is one, and home-sharing giant Airbnb (worth US$31 billion) is another. China's leading unicorns are smartphone upstart Xiaomi (US$65-70 billion) and Didi Chuxing (US$50 billion), a ride-hailing juggernaut with Chinese characteristics.
The massive size of the U.S. and Chinese domestic markets provide an ideal testing ground for startups. U.S. and Chinese startups don't need to worry about going global right away because they can first achieve economies of scale at home.
That's not the case in Taiwan. The island's tech-savvy population does offer an excellent starting point for early-stage companies, but the local market is too small for them to gain much traction.
That doesn't mean Taiwan can't foster unicorns here, though. The government's goal is attainable, says Jamie Lin, co-founder of the Taipei-based accelerator AppWorks and an expert on startups. "The government has figured out a way to listen to what businesses want and incorporate it into actual policy," he says, pointing to the recent relaxation of start-up funding restrictions, the decision to allow startups to issue shares at a low par value (giving startup owners more control over their firms), and expected IPO reform that could pave the way for companies to list on local stock exchanges without first proving profitability.

Eliminating the requirement to prove profitability before going public would be a boon for Taiwan's startup ecosystem. If private investors know that startups have a more seamless path to an IPO here in Taiwan, they will be more willing to invest in them at an early stage. And it's much easier to become a unicorn if investors believe you have a clear path to going public.
The profitability requirement is a remnant from an era when tech startups were mostly hardware makers who sought to list at a later stage of their development. Today's Taiwanese startups are typically software companies without many physical assets.
Some observers have concluded that Taiwan's small size could make it difficult to create a unicorn here. To be sure, most of Asia's unicorns hail from the immense China market. But tiny Singapore has GrabTaxi, a local version of Uber valued at US$6 billion. GrabTaxi is in the midst of taking over Uber's Southeast Asia operations for an undisclosed sum. GrabTaxi battled Uber across Southeast Asia for five years before the American company conceded defeat, agreeing to take a 27% stake in GrabTaxi while withdrawing from the region.
"If GrabTaxi can beat Uber, Taiwanese startups can beat tech giants too," says Lin. He says that GrabTaxi's triumph illustrates the importance of building unicorn companies. "It's invaluable as an inspiration to a future generation of entrepreneurs," he says.
Internationalizing
Taiwan startups are increasingly expanding abroad. That's good news for the startup ecosystem, as the domestic market provides limited growth opportunities. But an equally important step needs to be taken: Taiwan must attract foreign investment and talent in startups.
Taiwan's FDI has been anemic for years. Last year's US$11 billion was the highest since 2007, when that figure was US$15 billion. By comparison, the other former Asian tigers are major FDI recipients. South Korea attracted a record high of almost US$23 billion in FDI last year. Singapore managed to get US$58 billion. Hong Kong brought in a whopping US$85 billion.
For local startups, "getting access to funding at different stages remains a significant challenge," says National Development Council Minister Chen Mei-ling. "Young startups may struggle to grow because they cannot secure early-stage investment, while successful startups looking for exit channels face many restrictions."
She points out that the Legislative Yuan last November passed an amendment to the Act for Industrial Innovation that allows for angel investors (early-stage investors in startups) who invest more than NT$1 million in an individual startup to receive tax deductions of up to NT$3 million (US$99,430).
That perk could prove attractive to both domestic and global investors. But international investors tend to better understand the process of investing in early-stage tech startups. 500 Startups, a California-based early-stage venture fund and seed accelerator, was actively involved in the local startup scene for several years. But its activity here has tapered off since former Greater China head Rui Ma resigned in December 2016. An avid booster of Taiwanese startups, Ma visited Taiwan several times a year in her former role at 500 Startups.
In contrast, local investors hesitate to back software companies. "It's gotten to the point that I know exactly how local investors will say 'no' before they say it," says Joey Chung, co-founder of the media startup The News Lens. "First, junior analysts from the potential investor say they're excited about investing because they're familiar with our product. Then they disappear for three weeks. Finally, they contact me and say their company won't invest because the leadership – usually people 50 or older – can't understand what our product is and how to value it."
That type of thinking, Chung adds, "is all about being risk averse and wanting to protect your downside." As a result, growth of early-stage companies is constrained in Taiwan.
Similarly, a lack of international talent in the Taiwanese startup scene is problematic, especially because most of Taiwan's startups must expand globally to survive. To attract foreign talent, Taiwan last October passed an Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals. The Act, which took effect in February, incentivizes foreign professionals to work in Taiwan by cutting red tape and offering various perks, such as tax and retirement benefits, as well as an Employment Gold Card that provides qualifying foreigners with greater employment flexibility.
"The Act aims to make Taiwan an attractive destination for foreign professionals, who can help strengthen the startup ecosystem," Minister Chen says.
At the same time, Taiwan needs to attract some of its top tech entrepreneurs overseas to return home. Some of them, like YouTube founder Steve Chen, are heavyweights in the global tech community. There are thousands of talented Taiwanese software engineers working in Silicon Valley too. Their programming expertise could make a big difference here.
Successful businesspeople like YouTube's Chen can serve as mentors to the startup community, "inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs," as AppWorks' Lin says. It's one thing for Chen to be known as a successful Taiwanese entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley. It's another for him to be on the ground in Taiwan, working in an office with local staff and appearing at events for the startup community. Based here, he and others like him could directly spur the healthy development of Taiwan's startup ecosystem.
Overall, the government is optimistic about the future of startups in Taiwan, Minister Chen says. "Startups not only can help activate Taiwan's industrial transformation, they can also offer dynamic career opportunities for our youth," she says. "We must show young people that they can have a bright future here in Taiwan."

Following last year's hugely successful sell-out UK arena tour, John Bishop will be performing his critically acclaimed 'Supersonic' show, in a select few venues in March 2015 including the Leeds City Varieties.
These shows will be one of the last times John will perform Supersonic then after these warm up shows he will perform Supersonic one last time at London's Royal Albert Hall on 2 April, when the show will be filmed for a DVD release later this year.
The 47-year-old has been happily married to wife Melanie for the past 21 years and is the proud father of three sons. He has built up a reputation as perhaps the finest, and the funniest live comedian currently at work in the UK.
So what is it that makes John such a special stand-up? His act can be summed up by all those adjectives beginning with C: charismatic, coruscating, compelling, charming and comic. He also possesses that most valuable quality for a stand-up: a rare likability. Audiences simply love being in his company. They feel like they know him and see him as a bloke it would be great to accompany on a night out.
The stand-up, who is also a talented actor with starring roles in the teen drama Skins, Ken Loach's movie Route Irish and Jimmy McGovern's lauded BBC One drama series, Accused, stresses that nothing beats the buzz of performing live comedy. "How can I explain the feeling of doing stand-up? It's where I feel more comfortable than anywhere else. It just feels such a privilege to be performing in front of an audience.
John, who has fronted many TV programmes, including John Bishop's Britain and John Bishop's Only Joking, has a marvellous rapport with his fans – another factor that makes his live shows so memorable. He says that he relishes his encounters with his aficionados. "It's all positive. The more well-known I am, the more people want to come up and chat. There is no small talk – it's like I'm in a middle of a conversation with them.


Nikola Gruevski, the youthful and dynamic Prime Minister of Macedonia, has simply revealed his Master's Thesis in the form of a ebook, titled "The Means Out." In an earlier book, co-authored with the creator of this review and titled "Macedonia at a Crossroads" (1998), Gruevski expounded on the same themes and recommended very much the identical treatments. Though, surprisingly, his earlier ebook isn't talked about wherever in his new tome, it is instructive to check it and to find that Gruevski had the same vision for Macedonia in 1998 as he does in 2007. And this is precisely the source of my disagreement with some of his work: in the intervening 10 years, the world has modified and financial analysis has advanced.

Statistics from May and June show that none of San Francisco's 11 emergency response districts succeeded in responding to at least 90% of potentially life-threatening 911 calls within 6.5 minutes, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The city report also indicated that dispatching 40% of urgent calls in May and June exceeded the goal of two minutes.
A report by San Francisco emergency officials traces most dispatch delays to language barriers, nonresponsive callers and callers who do not know their location.
In a special report in April, the Chronicle highlighted problems meeting emergency response time goals in San Francisco, drawing pledges of action from Mayor Gavin Newsom (D).
Laid out plans to begin testing a new computer system to track the location of fire engines and ambulances more accurately.
A recent study by MGT of America -- a consulting firm retained by the city -- faulted training procedures and management of the Department of Emergency Management, but city leaders say 911 dispatchers are showing signs of improvement.
According to the Chronicle , San Francisco paramedics said that the city does not have enough ambulances, medical equipment is inadequate and more paramedics are needed to staff fire engines (Doyle, San Francisco Chronicle , 8/14).

Starbucks Will Close 8,000 Stores on May 29 for Racial-Bias Training
Ben Dreyfuss
Starbucks says it will close its 8,000 company-owned stores in the United States for one afternoon to educate employees about racial bias.
The announcement follows an uproar over the arrest of two black men who were waiting for a friend at a Philadelphia Starbucks last week. The store manager called the police.
The racial bias training will be provided on May 29 to about 175,000 workers.
"I've spent the last few days in Philadelphia with my leadership team listening to the community, learning what we did wrong and the steps we need to take to fix it," Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said in a statement.
"While this is not limited to Starbucks, we're committed to being a part of the solution," he said. "Closing our stores for racial bias training is just one step in a journey that requires dedication from every level of our company and partnerships in our local communities."
Our 2014 cover story on implicit bias examined how these type of trainings can be effective.

INTERVIEW: Taylor Grey on Debut LP Space Case
FEATURES | Interviews
Jamila Aboushaca
California dreamer Taylor Grey may not be old enough to legally drink yet, but she is more mature and graceful than anyone I ever went to college with. She selflessly helped raise money for victims of the recent hurricanes by reaching out through her social media channels. And she's also super smart – a neuroscience major at Stanford University – coming off her mini-radio tour just in time for the beginning of the fall semester.
Grey released her debut LP Space Case earlier this summer with notable executive producer Josh Abraham (P!NK, Kelly Clarkson). The album has a likeable mix of pop, electronic, and a smidgen of country. Its first single, "Never Woulda Letcha" was catchy, cute, and embodied those young, first feelings of having an unrequited crush, while the title track, though deceptively playful-sounding, tells her story of craving unexpected undertakings beyond just of chasing boys. Her latest single "Miami" is one of the album's most mature, featuring Spencer Kane and oozing Flume vibes.
It's Grey's ultimate goal to advocate for women everywhere. In an interview with Audiofemme, we quickly learned that her message goes beyond living it up at college frat parties or making through the occasional all-nighter — she wants listeners to find beauty in themselves, inside and out. Check out her album below, and read on to find out why she refers to her sound as "space pop."
AF: "Never Woulda Letcha" is so catchy and sweet. I like how your feelings were circulating around this guy that broke your heart, rather than the song bringing down the "other" girl. To go through heartache is really tough, especially in a situation like this. What advice can you give girls that are going through a similar situation?
TG: It's a hard lesson in life to learn. There's no way to make someone love you, or make someone like you. I think the important thing is taking stride in realizing your worst is not defined by whether or not someone has romantic feelings for you. It's unfortunate to not have your feelings reciprocated and [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1″ background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3″ animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][to] feel heartbroken. [These are] totally normal feelings. But at the end of the day, you have to realize you're worth more than someone's opinion [of you]… even though if their opinion means a lot. If you're friends with the person that you secretly like, then… you know, still have that relationship in your life, one way or another!
AF: Definitely. Don't let it consume you. A hard lesson to learn so young. So, Space Case is such a gem. Is it inspired by a specific event? Or did it spring from this stage in your life?
TG: Thank you! It's actually not inspired by a specific event. It's like when I talk about in the stories, from third person. It talks about this girl who has big dreams, kind of "space cases" [that] aren't necessarily realized by other people. Her head's in the clouds. Someone with big dreams trying to actualize them. It's almost like an alter ego I want to be – I want to be more of this carefree space case. I feel like everyone has a part of themselves that would rather be on Mars. And part of the reason I chose it as the title was that I love the words. Although I write a ton about boys, love, and heartbreak, it's not what the songs are all about. It's about [being an] individual. I really wanted that to summarize my body of work. When it all comes down to it… be yourself, be true to who you are. Accept it!
AF: You've said you want to be an advocate for girls everywhere, to help them love themselves. What does that mean to you and how did you decide to make that your mission?
TG: I love being an advocate for self-love, because it's something really challenging. I would have loved to hear it from someone, especially from the music world, because I was always questioning from such a young age. I'm still learning, and growing, and learning how to love myself. It's important for young girls to know that it's not black and white. There are ways to learn and grow. There are some days that I wake up, and I feel amazing… and others, I look in the mirror and I'm like, ugh, no, not today. And it's okay to not love yourself everyday. I wish I had had that voice telling me that as long as you're trying, and you're your own biggest fan, at the end of the day, you'll feel fine. So, I want to be that voice for girls my age, and younger girls, to [help them] realize that there are others going through this process with them. There are people on this journey with them. It's not this unattainable thing, self love.
AF: You have a great relationship with your producers. Can you talk about the guidance your team provided?
TG: As a team, we have a lot of trust. I came to them [Josh Abraham and Nico Stadi] with my songs, then it was time to really create sound and melodic structure behind it. They put a lot of trust in me and my message, and in turn, I trusted them with production aspects. I think the goal, what we strived for, was to create a good sound – tracks for the radio, [but with] artistic and different angles. They have been super supportive. We made an album with every song sounding different. Some songs have an alternative vibe, some have a country vibe… and they were like, this is you, all of these songs are different facets of you.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
Call her jams. Jersey native who spends her time staring at the clouds, listening to music while snacking on something glazed. You can find her work in The Aquarian Weekly and in all of her elementary and high school newspapers.

Q: asp net javascript Cache clear I have a website that i did some time ago now they request some new features and i did some changes in some javascript files, but when i publish the clients that use the IE have problems with cache so in they browser they have old version of javascript. How can i clear the client cache so when they visit website they use latest javascript files that i modify.

A: When you refer your javascript file append a version number also to the end of the file as a query string. Something like
<script src="yourjsfile?version=1.0" type="text/javascript"></script>

This will refer to a new url which won't be present in the cache and the browser will download the latest file.

The picturesque and colorful Malaga is located along the southern coast of Spain in the foothills of the Montes de Malaga Park. Renowned for its production of raisins, Malaga is also Picasso's birthplace and the site hosting one of the oldest ports in the Mediterranean.
Famous for its unique atmosphere and cultural interest, Barcelona is one of the most vivid cities in Europe. Stroll along Las Ramblas, explore the cobbled streets of the Gothic section or visit the unfinished masterpiece of Gaudí, the Sagrada Familia. Alternatively, go on a bike tour through the old town and along the beach. Go for a walk in the park Guell Gaudi, a truly amazing oasis of plants, trees and buildings. Do not miss the Picasso Gallery, with more than 2000 works of the artist.
Casablanca is the capital of Morocco, located on the Atlantic Ocean. Casablanca means "white house" in Spanish and you'll understand why the city got this name entering the harbor. Only the Hassan II Mosque with green tiles and the tallest minaret in the world outstands on the landscape of white buildings. Casablanca is a vibrant, friendly city and will make all your dreams come true.
Cadiz is a beautiful old city in the tip of the peninsula and is buzzing with beautiful plazas that are constantly full of life. See the Cathedral, a sandy-yellow church that is much bigger up close than you would at first think.
Climb the Torre Tavira, the highest of the old watchtowers, with a panoramic camera (camara obscura) showing 360º live pictures of the city. Go to the beach and stick around until sunset, which should be enjoyed at Caleta beach. Take a virtual tour of 18th century Cadiz with a 3D video of Cadiz at the city walls. Eat the fried fish, in particular at the Freiduria Las Flores on Plaza de Topete.
Located on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, the historical city of Cartagena is almost entirely surrounded by lagoons and bays, while still surrounded by fortifications of 17th century that were protecting the gold and treasures with destination to Spain. The many squares will offer a shady retreat as you explore the streets that cross a colonial baroque architecture.
Discover the captivating views of the city and harbor from the Alto do Parque Belvedere Park. Take a bike and go for a walk along the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. See the fascinating marine life to the aquarium in Lisbon. Visit the charming village of Fatima, where is said that Virgin Mary had been seen by many people. Visit the St George Kasteo with multimedia reports of the city's history and breathtaking views of Lisbon and the Tagus River.

The city council also has jurisdiction over the sub-archipelago of Cabrera including the islands of Cabrera, Conejera, Estells, Imperial, Rodon, Foradada, Plana, and Pobra.The city became a tourist destination in the 1950s, and tourist numbers have continually increased in the subsequent half century. Palma is a busy commercial and cultural center of Mallorca
Tangier is a fascinating Moroccan city to visit. It has many of the things that travellers love--a sense of exotic mystery, interesting history, beautiful vistas, unspoiled beaches, and friendly people.Tangier is an interesting mix of north Africa, Spain, Portugal and France. It is located in northern Morocco, and was under joint international control until 1956. Tangier is separated from Spain only by the 20 miles of the Strait of Gibraltar.With its souks, traditional Moroccan cuisine and many historical and cultural attractions, it's the perfect destination for your Moroccan holiday

Let us take you on a personal journey of discovery. Amid the tranquillity of the sea and the exuberance of distant lands, we will arouse your curiosity and seduce your senses. We will stimulate your imagination and spark new insights. Our aim is to create experiences that will enrich your life for years to come. From the moment you step onboard to the time you say "Arrivederci", our Italian sense of style will shine. The ebullience of our hospitality, the genuine warmth of our service and our evident appreciation of the finer things in life are genial qualities of our founders and owners. They are the principles on which Silversea were founded.
Small is beautiful and bountiful. With fewer guests and a high staff to guest ratio, we can tailor our unobtrusive service to individual needs. And you can join a select on board community of travellers with similar aspirations. The intimate ambience on our shιps has parallels with the atmosphere of a refined club. We are happy to sail against the tide. While most cruise lines build larger and ever-larger ships, we prefer to stay small. In this way we can preserve the special Silversea experience our guests have come to expect ... the intimate ambience, personal service and access to more intriguing secluded ports.
SMALLER GETS YOU CLOSER
Our small ships are agile enough to visit more remote, lesser-known ports and to bring you closer to some of the world's greatest destinations. They can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, they can navigate around tiny islands and they can tie up right at the dock while others must anchor offshore. In the world of upscale cruising, less is more... considerably more, as our seven small ships offer infinite opportunities across all seven continents.

Silver Cloud - 296 Guests Resembling a private yacht, Silver Cloud sets the standard of excellence as the inaugural ship. Recently refurbished in 2012, she provides the most intimate sailing experiences, the luxury of space and the ability to slip into exotic ports off the beaten path.
Silvel Wind - 296 Guests Embraces Silversea's most lauded features ... fewer guests, more space and highly personalised service. One of the most intimate ships, afloat, she is still large enough to offer multiple entertainment venues, plenty of room on deck and a spacious spa.
Silver Shadow - 382 Guests takes award-winning, all-suite luxury to the next level while maintaining Silversea's genuine hospitality and intimate, elegant ambience. This ship features one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in cruising.

Have you ever heard of the CIA's Marble software? That is a rhetorical question because most likely you have not. Until today that is: WikiLeaks has released more documents which confirms the CIA can disguise its own hacking by making it appear as if the hacking came from foreign nations such as Russia and China. This rumor was on the internet several weeks ago and now this latest document dump confirms the CIA's Marble software can do just that.
Well that is pretty interesting don't you think? The Democrats have been deflecting the American people away from the content contained within the WikiLeaks documents which showed the party rigged the primary for Hillary Clinton by using this Russian angle and now this calls into question even that.
Trump was going to upset the apple cart. He said so. I have no doubt that all manner of nefarious activity took place. Whether we will find the real truth remains to be seen. Yet this latest batch of Wiki leaks has made barely a ripple in the news.
We will never know everything that took place, and it is probably still taking place behind the scenes.
Bunker your use of the word 'nefarious' brought this to mind: Do you think Bush Jr. – if he were Pres. today – would be involved in uncovering some of these nefarious activities? Since he was 'primed' to bring in the UN-Patriot act and a war – that just happened to be one on the list of the Deep State takeover – I wonder. Draining the swamp is something that's includes more faces than the last regime, as you know. Shining the light of truth on the swamp is to show the real lies and liars. Where to find the light of truth to shine though! and know it when we see it!
When Bush Jr. 'finished up' a war Bush Sr. began (Desert Storm) the coincidence it too obvious. Being able to see these leaders for 'who they are' not 'what we want them to be' requires great discernment!
So, the Obama administration hacked their own party and made it look like Russians and leaked it to Assange for the purposes of damaging their candidate and allowing the Republican to win so that they undermine the Republican administration? That makes absolutely no sense at all. Occam's razor would say that the Democrat's claim is most likely to be true.
I do not trust Assange what says at all. He considers himself at war with the US and will do anything to destroy us. He is most likely trying to distract and deflect attention away from the Czar and Putin. At this point, what those leaked documents say is no longer relevant (Clinton lost). What is relevant is whether or not the Czar is compromised which is a national security issue.
How can people, 'let's ALL just get along' when everyone has their own personal agenda and motives! Lie's cracks are filled w/ some truth to help keep them together! That's why the World 1984 Order has strict "conformity" and "no subjectivity" … all are one. You're just not in the groove … yet … Terrant! And you know what 'happens' to does who don't conform!
That last admin. used many 'false flags' to push their agenda ~ TSA is a prime example (who allowed the underwear bomber thru – that the Regime 'set up')!
There is always a little truth mixed in, isn't there? Playing off a small truth is the best way to make the lie believable!
Yes, like the serpent and the tree of knowledge – of good and evil.
Wrong! we've been dying off ever since!
Which groove are you talking about: It seems that I am surrounded by them.
I do have to agree the Obama administration operated in a rather Machiavellian fashion. However, this claim defies logic. Assange is essentially saying that US intelligence hacked the DNC making it look like Russia, passed the emails to him knowing that he would use them against Clinton. If the deep state is against Mr. Trump, why in the heck would they even do that? I'm not saying that it is not possible but I am going with Occams Razor on this.
In case you forgot, Assange has been attacking the US during the last part of Bush II's administration and all of Obama's. Since he helped take down Clinton, he is suddenly a good guy? Yeah, right. He works with Russia and has been supported by them for a long while. He very rarely ever attacks Russia and has attacked those who exposed corruption within the Russian oligarchy. I will say the leaks don't lie but he does cherry pick what gets leaked (keep in mind that he said he had stuff on Mr. Trump but didn't release it). Take whatever he says with a healthy dose of skepticism.
I do agree that the Democrats do not have pure motives here but that does not mean they are wrong. I've been researching what facts I can find. There is not enough evidence to say that he colluded but there is certainly enough circumstantial evidence to merit a serious investigation. Plus, the way that this Republican regime is acting, I have to wonder if there is a cover-up going on.
In the Senate investigation (which seems to be where the adults are taking this seriously), it was revealed that the Russians were targeting Republican candidates as early as February 2016. Marco Rubio was one of their targets. Think about that, the true conservatives might have been bumped off with the help of Russia.
I would not be so quick to dismiss this as "fake news" but then again, I am talking to people who are clearly going to believe everything that the Czar tweets.
Well, you've dug more into than I. The 'groove' I was talking about was 'falling into line' the way the 'powers that be' (Oligarchy) want you to (Machiavellian fashion). It's difficult to know the truth of the matter at times, especially like you state 'cherry picking' and 'personal bents'. All I know is I'm glad Hilly didn't get in and pray Barack is shutdown instead of being involved w/ the COUP (Jarrett / Soros / whoever else). There's a graphic out with Putin grinning stating, "Yes, I hacked the election, and gave you Obama!" Can't find it in a search, maybe it was 'removed' by Obama's hackers. If you remember, when he won the 2nd time there was a pic of him standing in a room with his personal 'hackers' and weeping in gratitude. I don't really read Assange postings. But, just like Drudge each have their own bias … human nature. That's for your info Terrant, I hope I explained enough! (btw I wonder if Trump got rid of all the Bari's Czar's? Sometimes I catch Putin's tweets too, fair is fair!).
Thanks s is beyond the scope of most Americans. The entertainment value is lost on us.
When you view the graph it shows how TV's have become more affordable vs other things that 'add to our lives'! Keeping people programmed is vital to Deep State Gov. takeover.

Want a Job in Recruitment? 7 must have skills!
Commitment and determination to succeed are essential when taking on a role in recruitment. If you don't have the will to succeed, then chances are recruitment is not for you.
You need to be confident, not just with yourself but also about the services you offer to your clients and jobseekers. If people can see you're confident, they're a lot more likely to believe in you.
As a recruitment consultant you need to be willing to learn from others but also put your personality into the role. People buy into personality and clients and candidates alike will put their trust in someone who is genuine and mature.
One of the most important characteristics a recruitment consultant should possess is being target-driven. The recruitment industry can be particularly competitive; therefore it is essential that a recruiter can handle pressure. You need to be aware of your targets and hungry for results. Recruitment can be a very rewarding industry, but only if you meet your targets, if you are not a target driven person it could be time to reconsider your options.
Being an excellent communicator is essential, whether face to face, on the phone or via email. It can be easy letting people know the good news; however, if things don't turn out positively for the jobseeker, communication can become a lot more difficult. Situations will arise where a recruiter needs to prove they are tactful, considerate and understanding in order to keep good relationships.
As a recruiter you will soon get used to dealing with multiple jobs and projects simultaneously. Staying on top of things and ensuring nothing falls behind is essential – you need to be able to work efficiently as well as effectively.
As a recruiter, be prepared to deal with a wide range of people. The best recruiters love to meet new people and know how to network at every opportunity. However, maintaining relationships are just as important as making new ones.
Don't underestimate the power of word of mouth, a happy jobseeker is likely to recommend you to friends and family should they ever need a job in the future.
Recruitment can be a challenging role, and the skills you need will constantly develop on the job, however if you possess the majority of these you'll soon be succeeding and reaping the benefits.
