This Is America Under Donald Trump And Republicans Full Control. A 10 Year Old Child Just Out Of Emergency Surgery Taken Into Custody By US Immigration For Deportation.
Posted in American History, United States with tags 10 year old child, America, by US Immigration, Donald Trump, Fires are out, Fraudulent Republicans, Immigration, Just out of surgery, Only Ember Remains, Statue of Liberty, taken into custody, Under Anti-Human Trump, Unpatriotic Republicans on October 28, 2017 by sheriffali
The days of America's shining shore for the poor, needy, sick and forgotten are closing fast and furious under the control of Anti-Human Donald Trump and Unpatriotic Republicans. The Statue Of Liberty Fires are gone and only the Ember remains;
Statue Of Liberty Poem
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
{NYT}"One of the newest arrivals this week at the Baptist Children's Home Ministries facility for child migrants in San Antonio, Tex., is 10 years old.
She has cerebral palsy. Her name is Rosa Maria Hernandez, and she does not understand why, days after undergoing emergency gallbladder surgery, she has not yet seen her mother, even though they are less than a three-hour drive apart.
"Do I get to go home tomorrow?" she asked her mother on Wednesday evening, when they spoke over FaceTime.
"I told her that she was only there because she was recovering, and once she was recovered, then she could come with me," recalled her mother, Felipa de la Cruz, speaking in Spanish.
"O.K., Mommy."
The truth is that Ms. de la Cruz does not know when her daughter will be released.
They live in the border town of Laredo illegally, and when Ms. de la Cruz sent Rosa Maria to Corpus Christi for the surgery early Tuesday, the girl's ambulance was stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint. After agents learned the girl was an undocumented immigrant, they followed her to the hospital and guarded her room. When she was discharged, the agents took her to the shelter, which houses juveniles in immigration custody.
Checkpoints Isolate Many Immigrants in Texas' Rio Grande Valley NOV. 22, 2015
"It's the period when she needs me the most," said Ms. de la Cruz, who cannot visit her daughter because she, too, could be arrested at a checkpoint. "I can't help her. When I start to think about her, I start to get sad."
In a year when President Trump's hard line on illegal immigration has driven the number of immigration arrests up by more than 40 percent, Rosa Maria's case has sped straight to the heart of the immigration-debate maelstrom."

Corrupt Gulliver, Donald Trump And The Lilliputians, Republicans, Are Taking America Beyond The Point Of No Return!
Posted in Politics with tags America, Arrogance, Conniving Trump, Greedy GOP, Gulliver, Gulliver Trump, Lilliputian Republicans, Lilliputians, Manipulative Trump, Politics, Self-Importance, Untrustworthy Trump on September 15, 2017 by sheriffali
Lilliputians [Republicans] are a society of people with all the arrogance and sense of self-importance associated with real men. Republicans are typically greedy, jealous, manipulative, conniving, violent, selfish, and untrustworthy; they are in all ways, an accurate portrayal of their President Gulliver [Donald Trump]. They live in a world of lies and fiction, manipulating the uninformed, ignorant, uneducated and brainwashed.
Since taking control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives on January 20, 2017, Gulliver and the Lilliputians are using Political divisiveness in decimating America's Greatness. Going on 9 months now, Trump and the Republicans haven't done a single thing to help the American people, period.
There were 7 straight months of Repeal Obamacare with Deathcare. President Gulliver Trump has been running the country as he ran his businesses, by fraud and lies right into the ground. President Gulliver's agenda of "Make America Great Again" is really about making America "all" White again. Gulliver has used his Executive Powers as he uses Toilet paper, only, instead of removing crap he is aiding and abetting in crap. Racism, Violating the Constitution, Pardoning a Racist Corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio and promoting White Supremacy, Neo Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan as if his life depended on it.
At least in Author Jonathan Swift's story the Lilliputians restrained Gulliver, but at the present time, Republicans are enabling Trump's derangement as he continues to tear the very fabric that made America great, into irreparable shreds. Amazingly enough, Jonathan Swift made use of the Lilliputians as a device for satirizing actual people in his own life, such as what we are living in the present.
How and if we survive Donald Trump and the Republicans is anyone's guess. You see in the final analysis, it seems impossible for Crooks, Liars and Thieves, The Republicans, are in any position to stop the World's biggest Crook, Liar and Thief, Donald Trump.
***In various parts of this short article, Author Jonathan Swift account of Gulliver and the Lilliputians are intertwined and entwined.
FIVE Arab States Cut Diplomatic Ties With Qatar That House America's Largest Military Base; And Donald Trump Takes Credit!
Posted in United States with tags America, Crooked Trump, Damaging America, Donald Trump, Egypt, Fraudulent Republicans, Mitch McConnell, PAUL RYAN, Qatar, Qatar House US Military Base, Republicans, russia, Saudi Arabia, Treasonous, Trump Putin Puppet, United Arab Emirates, Vladimir Putin, Yemin on June 6, 2017 by sheriffali
It is amazing that the Republican Congress and other Republican Politicians are still standing behind Donald Trump when in fact, everything Trump is doing is damaging to America and gives Vladimir Putin What he want. For the longest time Putin unsuccessfully tried to stop Qatar from Housing America's Largest Military Base in the Middle East, but Putin has finally succeeded via his Puppet, Donald Trump.
Subsequent to Donald Trump's Middle East Trip, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates [UAE] and Yemen not only broke Diplomatic Ties with Qatar, but also cut off Land, Air and Sea to and from Qatar.
[NYT] " Egypt, Saudi Arabia and three other Arab countries severed all ties with Qatar early Monday, in a renewal of a four-year effort to isolate it and in a sign of a new boldness after a visit to the region by President Trump.
In an abrupt and surprising move, the five Arab states not only suspended diplomatic relations, as they have in the past, but also cut off land, air and sea travel to and from Qatar. All but Egypt, which has many thousands of people working there, ordered their citizens to leave the country.
Qatar, like other monarchies in the Persian Gulf, is a close ally of Washington, and it hosts a major American military base that commands the United States-led air campaign against the Islamic State.
As such, the feud among regional allies threatens to stress the operations of the American-led coalition and complicate efforts in the region to confront Iran — but could also be a heavy blow to Tehran's regional ambitions, if Qatar is forced to sever ties.
Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson offered to broker the impasse on Monday in the hope of preserving the Trump administration's efforts to create broad coalitions against Iran and terrorist groups in the Middle East.
"We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences," Mr. Tillerson said.
The severing of all connections by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen created an immediate crisis for Qatar. Qatari diplomats were given 48 hours to leave their posts in Bahrain, while Qatari citizens were allotted two weeks to depart Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates."

With Donald Trump's Inability To Lead, Vladimir Putin Is About To Raise From The Dead, Benito Mussolini.

History has a definitive record of Benito Mussolini who was Leader of the "National Fascist Party." Mussolini an ally of Adolf Hitler died on April 28, 1945 and Hitler April 30, 1945. Butchers alike died days apart after the ruins of World War 11.
As Trump continues to alienate America's Allies, especially Europe, the US Embassy in Italy still doesn't have an Ambassador and Putin is using his savvy Ambassador Sergey Razov to Court Italy's Communist Party. Donald Trump's quest to live up to Vladimir Putin's demands has created a major vacuum for world Leadership and Putin isn't wasting anytime.
Trump's illegitimate Presidency that has evolved into "Special Counsel Investigating "Trump Russia Collusion," and with each passing day bombshell after bombshells hit Trump Right in the head and Donald Trump hasn't been able to do anything productive or honest since he assumed the Office of the Presidency. Unless and until Donald Trump is impeached from Office and Trump's Cronies are removed from the helm of power, America is falling fast and furious from being the "World Leader."
Realistically, Donald Trump hasn't only abandoned America's Allies, Trump has abandoned America and the America people, including those that voted for him and still support him.
[NYT] "ROME — President Trump made the most of his short time in Italy. He was treated to a private audience with the pope, met with both the country's president and its prime minister in Rome, flew to Sicily for a summit meeting of world leaders and visited with American troops at a nearby naval air station.
But as the sudden burst of diplomatic activity subsided with his departure, European and American officials fear a return to the new normal of American inattention as the administration struggles with political turmoil and Russia-related scandals back home.
All the while, Russia is assiduously courting Italy, a country that once had the largest Communist party outside the Soviet bloc and that many analysts consider the soft underbelly of the European Union.
In Rome, Mr. Trump left behind an embassy without an ambassador, and forfeited a geopolitical playing field that Moscow's ambassador in Rome, Sergey Razov, is exploiting.
A deliberate, gray-haired career diplomat, Mr. Razov has been plugging away at building relationships with Italian politicians, organizing concerts for Italy's earthquake survivors and visiting Italian regional officials who lament the "unfair" sanctions on Russia — which Moscow dearly wants lifted.
Next month, Mr. Razov will offer a sumptuous buffet when he hosts the annual Russia Day celebration amid the dripping chandeliers, coffered ceilings and gilded interiors of his Villa Abamelek residence.
Like Mr. Razov's energetic diplomacy, much of Russia's relationship building is being done in plain sight, as when President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia hosted Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni this month in Sochi, and President Sergio Mattarella a few weeks before that in Moscow." https://nyti.ms/2rhcubT
Donald Trump Is At The End Of His Corrupt 50 Year Plus Lying, Conning, Swindling, Treasonous Run

If Republicans, especially Mitch McConnell were really True Patriots as they pretend to be, "they would put America First and no one would have to demand an Independent Investigation. They would do exactly what they did with Benghazi and Hillary Clinton's emails. But as we are witnessing from Trump and the Republicans, Hypocrisy Is A Fatal Tragedy For America."
The Trump Russia Nexus – New York Times: "Many unknowns remain, but here is what we know about the collusion story so far."
"The acting director of the F.B.I., Andrew McCabe, told Congress on Thursday that President Trump's firing of James Comey has not derailed the agency's investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Which is good news. Despite Mr. Trump's assertion that the idea of collusion is "a total hoax," and despite many unknowns, the links continue to pile up. Here is a partial accounting of the connections we do know something about.
THE TRUMP FAMILY BUSINESS There may be no Trump Tower in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but it is not for lack of trying. Mr. Trump and his family have sought to do business in Russia since at least the 1980s. They have also developed extensive commercial and personal relationships with politically connected Russian businessmen. In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. told a real estate conference, "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York," according to eTurboNews, a travel industry news site. The author James Dodson said that another son, Eric Trump, told him in 2013 that Russians have bankrolled Trump golf courses: "Well, we don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." Eric Trump denies saying that.
In addition, Donald Trump worked with the Agalarov family, a prominent Russian business group, to host the 2013 edition of his Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. Mr. Trump met more than a dozen of the country's most prominent oligarchs while he was there, Bloomberg News reported. Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump and is a senior adviser to the president, has also been caught up in the Russia story. During the transition, Mr. Kushner met with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, as well as with the top executive of a Russian government-owned bank.
The world would know much more about Mr. Trump's foreign partnerships if he had released his tax returns, as every president has done for the last 40 years."

Former President Barack Obama And Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton Owe Nothing To Anyone, Period!
Posted in United States with tags 2009-2016 Great Times, America, barack obama, Clinton Best Secretary of State, Democracy, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton Barack Obama, Obama Best President, President Obama, Secretary Of State Clinton, Two Great People on May 3, 2017 by sheriffali
As a lifelong Democrat, sometimes I am ashamed at some within our Party for their self righteous and misguided behavior. I speak specifically about those within our Party that has openly criticized President Obama for accepting payment for a "Health Care Speech" he will deliver in September 2017 to Cantor Fitzgerald, a Wall Street Firm.
And let us not forget the hypocrisy of so many Democrats and their unfounded hate for Secretary Hillary Clinton that cost us the Election and installed the most Crooked, Racist, Con Man into the White House – Liar, Groper And Thief-Donald Trump.
President Obama and Secretary Clinton owe nothing to anyone, period. With their Education and Experience, had they not chosen Politics as their Career they both could have been Billionaires, rather than facing and taking abuse for the greater part of their lives.
When Barack Obama became President and he chose US Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, America was in the worst shape since the 1929 Great Depression. George W Bush became President by default and inherited from President Clinton one of the best US Economy in American History. We were at peace with the world and America for the first time had a "Surplus of 2.5 Trillion Dollars. George W Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican controlled Congress used their governing powers and wrecked America into the dirt. Our Economy was on the verge of failing turning us into a Banana Republic and Internationally, we were one of the most hated countries in the world, after Bush, Cheney and the Republicans ruined our reputation worldwide.
President Obama went to work on first taking on the much damaged economy and other productive Policies and Hillary Clinton went out and worked her heart out rebuilding America's Credibility World Wide.
When Hillary Clinton stepped down as Secretary of State America was in a far better position worldwide than what she inherited. Hillary had an approval rating the other side of 68% until she decided to run for President. Then came scheming crooked Bernie Sanders that took in over 200 Million Dollars, used most of it for his own personal gain and except for 2 uncompleted pages of his 2014 Taxes, Bernie Sanders never released any information, the same as Con Man Donald Trump. Sanders claimed during the primaries that his worth was $365,000.00 and he drove an old automobile, Sanders was then as now, a Liar! According to Forbes, Bernie Sanders is worth upwards of 16 Million Dollars and drives a $170,000.00 automobile. And, When Bernie Sanders finally gave up his bid for the Presidency, he was no longer required to release any financial information and to this date, he never did, but scheming Sanders is now complaining about President Obama's Paid Speech. But he isn't the only one; others are doing the same while Donald Trump, Trump's Family and the Republicans are burning down America.
Except for Despot Dictators, when Barack Obama's Presidency ended, economically, America was far better than what he inherited and our Respect around the world was second to none.
Those that are complaining about President Obama and that has and continue to complain about Secretary Hillary Clinton, they should take a long hard look in the mirror at their own miserable, hypocritical life.
Intel Sources: First Big Arrests In Donald Trump's Russia Scandal Could Come Next Week [Palmer Report]
Posted in United States with tags America, Carter Page, Donald Trump, Erick Trump, Imminent Indictments, IVANKA TRUMP, Jeff Sessions, Michael Flynn, Mitch McConnell, PAUL RYAN, Rudy Giuliani, russia, Russia Gate, Treason, Trump Jr., Vladimir Putin on April 14, 2017 by sheriffali
As much as the Corrupt Media center on Trump's Bombs of distracting [Syria and Afghanistan] from Russia Gate, the Feds are working behind the scene and they are about to issue Indictments as recent as the week of April 16, 2017.
Apparently, the case is so strong that they have refused Rudy Giuliani offer to "sing" against his old buddy Donald Trump. The Feds have also refused to grant immunity to Michael Flynn for his testimony. Inference – "The Feds have what they need to Indict Treasonous Donald Trump and the other Fraudulent Republicans that have enabled Trump in attempting to destroy America for Trump's Blackmail Pal, Vladimir Putin."
Time will tell and we shall see as the shoe drops how many of Trump's once upon a time "Cronies" are willing to commit Political Suicide by singing in the "Rain."
In addition, It was reported that German, Britain and Qatar Intel have handed the FBI Tapes of Trump's Kids involvement in Criminal Activities. The only question now is; "Is it one of the three or all of the three – Eric, Trump Jr., or Ivanka?"
Palmer Report:
"Donald Trump dropped the "Mother of all Bombs" today in Afghanistan (source: CNBC), but it appears to have been a mere attempt at distracting from the mother of all bombshells. Reliable sources, who have proven themselves correct in the past, are now pointing to U.S. intel agencies working with the Attorney General of New York to begin imminently dismantling Trump's inner circle. In fact the big major arrests may come as soon as next week.
The claim first came from @SheWhoVotes, a Twitter user who is also a Constitutional lawyer and has a solid track record. She tweeted today that she's "Hearing from intelligence insiders that [New York State Attorney General Eric] Scheiderman is working closely with intel. They're going to take out the entire three ring circus" (link). This was then quickly validated with the words "Fact check: true" by Louise Mensch, a former member of British Parliament who is now a political journalist, and whose inside sources have been consistently correct about the FISA warrants in the Trump-Russia investigation going back to last fall.
Mensch then added "First arrests maybe next week" (link). She also referenced the arrest of ten low level mafia figures in New York two weeks ago, who were not Russian, but whose crime family has alleged ties to both Donald Trump and the Russian mafia through Felix Sater; Palmer Report covered these arrests on March 28th (link). Two days later the FBI also descended on a casino with strong ties to Trump (link). And of course two days ago the FBI leaked that it's been surveilling Carter Page since last summer, meaning it has recordings of everyone he conspired with, in what seemed to be a final warning shot to any Trump-Russia conspirators who want to cut a deal before the arrests begin.
There is also more directly tangible evidence that the State of New York is involved in the federal action against Donald Trump and his empire. On March 19th, the Wall Street Journal documented that NY AG Schneiderman had hired a close associate of former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to specifically focus on Trump's criminal behavior (link). So Donald Trump's decision to drop a massive bomb in Afghanistan today may have been because he knows what's coming as well."

CORRUPT CORPORATE MEDIA WHORES JUST LIKE MALE HARLOT DONALD TRUMP PEDDLING SYRIA'S MISSILE INEFFECTIVE SHAM ATTACK AS SIGNIFICANT

[TYLER ROGOWAY] "Shortly before two US Navy destroyers let 59 Tomahawk missiles fly, I wrote in detail about why striking Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad's forces now, in revenge for gassing his own people, was a terrible idea. After a picture of last night's missile attack on Shayrat Air Base has become clearer, I can tell you that this operation wasn't only counter-productive, it was a sham.
In an age where BS seems to comes first, and "alternative facts" have been weaponized for mass consumption on an unprecedented scale, the decision to toss $100 million worth of cruise missiles at a token target and claim doing so was a measured response for the throngs killed or hurt by Assad's heinous gas is not surprising. But the fact that so many of our leaders are playing it off as some incredible act—and so many cable news pundit generals seems just giddy to see some action to talk about—is downright troublesome.
When considering any military action, one has to weigh the many dimensions of cost versus benefits, both near and short term. Simple questions like "does this act have a true military purpose? Does this act make America more secure? Does this act bring America closer to achieving its overall goals in a region? Will this act further endanger our soldiers?" are just a few questions among many that have to be considered carefully. The attack on Shayrat Air Base fails the vast majority of these tests glaringly."

Donald Trump, Master Con Man is playing the Media like a Violin and just like the "suckers" they are, they have swallowed it Hook, Line and Sinker.
Donald Trump would do anything, I mean anything, including starting World War 111 to deflect attention from the Federal Government closing in on Trump's involvement with Russia during the 2016 Election.
Four People Have Fallen Thus Far:
Michael Flynn – Resigned
Devin Nunes – Recused
Jeff Session – Recused
Steve Bannon – Demoted
Just imagine, 24 hours before the Cruise Missile was launched Donald Trump told the world he doesn't want to be the World's President. His Secretary of State had a bizarre response subsequent to Syria's Chemical attack on its Citizens and yet, Trump made a capricious decision like he always does, conning and scheming. Yes America and the world should do something about the Killer in Damascus, but there is a conspiracy that includes more than Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Bashar al Assad, to keep Puppet Trump as President.
Thursday's misadventure with Trump playing Soldier, those 59 Missiles and the Operation cost the Tax Payers 83 Million Dollars and ask yourself, what purpose it served. Donald Trump and Republicans have blocked Syrian Refugees from entering the United States, but they are launching bombs with no plans or resolve. [There would be more to report on this Con Man Charade].

November 11, Poland celebrated the 99th anniversary of its independence in the aftermath of World War I reversing 123 years of partition. But afterwards, many remain in Warsaw for an unofficial march organized by the National Radical Camp and the All Polish Youth.
The current political problems in Poland have prompted the European Commission to open a threestep inquiry whether Poland is violating the union's democratic norms.

Gay groups put parade campaigns in high gear
By Patrick Markey
With St. Patrick's Day drawing near, New York's Irish gay and lesbian groups are stepping up their perennial campaign for inclusion in parades around the city, working through official channels, and also through meetings with local march organizers.
Last weekend, as part of their battle for inclusion, representatives of the Lavender and Green Alliance went to meet with organizers of the Brooklyn St. Patrick's Day Parade at the committee's installation for its grand marshal.
"We think it's time to heal this divisive issue and make it a more inclusive celebration," said alliance representative Brendan Fay, who along with two other members tried to deliver a letter to Kathleen McDonagh, the parade chairperson.
"The reaction was one of caution and fear and concern. But these are steps to set up a dialogue," Fay said.
The letter was an invitation to attend the Alliance's St. Patrick's event in early March and an attempt to find some resolve for the issue, Fay said.
But McDonagh was less certain about the weekend meeting.
When asked whether she had spoken to Fay's delegation at the installation, she said she had not. And as to the letter? "They may have given it to somebody at the dance. I don't know," she said.
Fay said the Alliance is also trying to undermine arguments that it is excluded because of its members' lifestyle choices have no place in a Catholic parade by working with the Catholic Coalition of Gay and Lesbian Ministries.
This week, the New York Police Department also rejected the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization's application for a permit to hold a pre-parade demonstration on Fifth Avenue on St. Patrick's Day, an ILGO spokesman said. This is the eighth year ILGO has been refused permission to protest its exclusion from New York's Fifth Avenue parade.
"They offered a moving picket on the sidewalk, which is our constitutional right, so they have offered nothing at all," the spokesman said.

Q: How to make chaining method but returning more than 3 value at the same time You for sure had seen jquery. Has you know jquery allow you to make chaining of method like this:
$('.elements').css({color:'red'}).etc().etc()...

But if you notice, that function returns you a array of object(?):
$(document).ready(function(){
  var $elements = $('.c').css({color:'red'});
  console.log($elements);
});

(Example, see console to see the result)
Also the $ function does as well:
$(document).ready(function(){
  var $elements = $('.c');
  console.log($elements);
});

(Example, see console to see the result)
Both returns an array and then can keep chaining. How is that possible? Why can keep chaining when it isn't return just this(or the object itself)?
I read this post and he could succesfully add plus sign but that was to an existing string cuz he proto the string object.
Its there any way that i could archive that?
UPDATE
I know that it return a jquery object but how can i return my object that contains an array of values and keep chaining with the returned values.
UPDATE 2
What i want to archive
I have this class and i want a method to return an array of my object whenever if the chaining its over
var elements = Enumerable(anArray).Where(function(elements){ return elements != 1 })

Here the chainig has over so it must return the elements that satisfy the condition but i want to keep chaingin i just have to do this:
elements  = elements.Where(function(elements){ return elements == 1}).Take(3);

And keep chaining as looooong as I want.

A: $ doesn't return an array, it returns a jQuery object, which is an array-like object. I.e. some of its properties have numeric names and it has a length property.
Example:
var obj = {
    0: element1,
    1: element2,
    find: function() {
        // some logic
        return this; // return a reference to itself for chaining
    },
    length: 2
};

Now, a jQuery method doesn't return this, it returns a new jQuery object which exposes the same interface (obviously) and hence allows chaining.
If you want to implement chaining yourself, you have to do the same: Either return this or a new instance of your object and initialize it with the data the current object has.
Example:
function Constr(data) {
    this.data = data || {};
}

Contr.prototype.chain = function() {
    // do stuff
    console.log(this.data);
    return new Constr(this.data);
    // or return this;
};

var obj = new Constr({foo: 'bar'});
obj.chain().chain().chain();

A: a jquery object is actually a collection of html objects so when a function returns a jquery object it's actually returning more than one element.
var ChainableObject = {
    data: [],
    where: function(fn){
       //doStuff with this.data
       return this;
    },
    take: function(n){
       //doStuff with this.data
       return this;
    },
    // and so on
    //.........
}

Home About Us History
GIANT PIGGY BANKTM
Peoples Bank has a long history in Iowa's farming communities.
Beginning in 1917 in Grand Junction, Iowa, Peoples Bank primarily served the local farmers. In January 1991, Green Circle Investments Inc. purchased Peoples Bank and expanded with an additional bank in Rippey.
During the next four years, Peoples Bank experienced significant growth, increasing total assets by nearly 33%. In 1994, the bank added its third branch, purchasing a local bank in Guthrie Center. By March 1996, total assets had increased by nearly 50% in just six years, thanks to an aggressive growth-mindset and a targeted focus on community lending.
The next year continued to expand Peoples Bank's footprint in Iowa. In 1996, the acquisition of a bank in Jefferson, which also operated a branch in Scranton, nearly doubled Peoples Bank's total assets. While growth came fast, the bank still placed a continued focus on community engagement in rural cities. Five years later, in early 2001, Peoples Bank opened its sixth branch, in Adel.
The seventh branch came five years later, on Aug. 1, 2006, when Peoples Bank opened a brand-new building in Clive, its first foray into the metro market. The two-story building serves as the central hub of the bank and stands out with its bold design on University Avenue. In 2007, the metro expansion continued with a purchase of a bank in Waukee. In 2013, the bank opened its newest branch in Ogden.
The Rigler family bought Peoples Bank in late 2017, the bank's third owners in its 100-year history, and the family continues to focus on serving Iowa communities in both rural and metro markets.
During the next year, Peoples Bank launched several unique initiatives, reflecting a more progressive vision that embraces innovative ideas and solutions. In early 2018, Peoples Bank rolled out a refreshed brand, giving a nod to the bank's history of more than a century. The new green and blue logo symbolize the bank's roots in supporting farming by encapsulating the fields of Iowa and the blue skies across the state. The new-look underscores what our bank is all about: People.
Shortly after the brand refresh, Peoples Bank launched a campaign focused on protecting Iowa's environment and giving back to the community in new, unique ways. Power Up @ Peoples included the implementation of solar power at eight of the nine branches and electric vehicle stations at the Clive, Waukee, and Adel branches.
Also during this time, Peoples Bank launched a financial literacy program for elementary students called The GIANT PIGGY BANKTM. The program's goal is to teach young students how to properly manage and save money and is comprised of two parts: a student-led banking program in select schools and a children's deposit account available to all children.
Today, Peoples Bank has nine branches — in Clive, Waukee, Adel, Guthrie Center, Jefferson, Ogden, Grand Junction, Rippey, and Scranton — and is still very much in touch with its farming roots.
We invested in solar power across our bank branches - an initiative we call Power Up @ Peoples. Learn about our work and the positive impact our initiative has on Iowa.
Our people are our best asset at Peoples Bank. Our experts are ready to help you find answers to your questions. Find contact details for our banking professionals here.
Peoples Bank has nine locations across Central Iowa, covering both metro and rural communities. Find contact details for each of our locations and ATM locations here.

"Banned forever" in Czechoslovakia, The Party and The Guests (O Slavnosti a Hostech, sometimes A Report on The Party and The Guests) is the second feature film from New Wave Praguian Jan Němec. A provocative attack on the pitfalls of the communist state, it's an absurd take on the Mad Hatter's tea party, and we're all invited. But, for Novotný's sake, don't be late.
More chatty than his dour, war critique debut Diamonds of the Night, Němec and his co-writer/wife Ester Krumbachová are still unafraid to produce a film of intent. Three couples head out to the woods for a sunny weekend picnic and find themselves accosted by a group of eccentric, extravagantly dressed men. Led by the frisky, almost Puck-like Rudolf (Jan Klusák), the couples are forced to act out bizarre trials for his sadistic amusement, until they are reprimanded by the real leader of the group, who invites the tortured couples to a paganistic banquet in the woods.
While that dirty word 'communism' never crosses any of the character's lips, Němec's film is a scathing allegory on oppression and rivalling the autonomous regime. As a predecessor to Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, the daring Czech filmmaker toys with notions of melodrama and theatrics, going from one delectably silly scene to the next, dealing with the weighty undertones as a frivolous comedy of manners.
Although some of the satirical content may not have the same degree of poignancy it did back in 1966, The Party and The Guests retains enough of it's original bite to keep contemporary audiences amused.
PS – A lovely bit of contextual criticism on the film here from Slovak Cinema theorist Peter Hames.

person nominated by the Board of Directors.
The following three persons have been appointed as representatives in the
Nomination Board:
- Christian Sinding (EQT),
- Thomas Ahlström (Ahlström Capital Oy and others) and
- Alexander Ehrnrooth (Vimpu Intressenter Ab and Belgrano Investments Oy).

Ahlstrom Corporation renounced its right to appoint a representative to the
Nomination Board due to which the nomination right transferred to the next
largest shareholder who would otherwise not have a nomination right. Ahlstrom
Corporation has reserved the right to re-evaluate the situation, should any
such changes in the composition of the Nomination Board during its term occur,
that according to the charter of the Nomination Board would grant the company a
new right to appoint a representative to the Nomination Board. The Nomination
Board has been appointed by Munksjö Luxembourg Holding S.à r.l. (EQT) and two
groups of shareholders, as described below.
Holdings by a group of shareholders, who have agreed to nominate a joint
representative to the Nomination Board, are summed up when calculating the
share of all the voting rights, provided that the shareholders in question
present a joint written request to that effect together with a copy of such an
agreement to the Chairman of the Board no later than on 30 May preceding the
Annual General Meeting. Munksjö has been informed that two such agreements have
been made. The first agreement has been made by Antti Ahlström Perilliset Oy,

I have this code for a number game, and I can't see what I'm doing wrong, but whenever I run it tells me that I'm too low no matter what number I pick. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! Also, I know some of the parts may be redundant, but I don't know if they are actually stopping the code from working.
import random
print("Welcome, to the worst game you will ever play. For some reason, you've got to pick a number between 1 and 10. "
      "Pick 11, I dare you.")
print("The aim is to win with the lowest possible score.")
score = 0
player_attempts = 0
play = True

while play:
    computer_number = random.randint(1, 11)
    player_number = int(input("OK. What do you think the number is?"))
    player_number = int(player_number)

    while player_number != computer_number:

        if player_number == computer_number and player_attempts == 0:
                print("Wow. You actually did it. And it only took you " +
                      str(player_attempts) + "try. I'm impressed. I thought you were just one of those weirdos who "
                      "downloads a dodgy free game to escape from society...")
                score += 1
                player_attempts += 1
                print("Your score is " + str(score) + ". Maybe. I could be lying. How would you know?")
                play = False

        elif int(player_number) == int(computer_number) and int(player_attempts) >= 0:
                    print("Wow. You actually did it. And it only took you " + str(player_attempts) +
                          "tries. I'm impressed. I thought you were just one of those weirdos who "
                          "downloads a dodgy free game to escape from society...")
                    score += 1
                    player_attempts += 1
                    print("Your score was " + str(score) + ". Maybe. I could be lying. How would you know?")
                    play = False

        elif int(player_number) > int(computer_number):
            print("You overshot. But really, does it matter? You should stop, get out of the basement, enter society. "
                  "Or have another go.")
            score += 1
            player_attempts += 1
            print("Your score is " + str(score) + ".")
            again = str(input("Try again."))
            if again == "no":
                play = False
            elif again == "yes":
                play = True

        elif int(player_number) < int(computer_number):
            print("You were too low. Underachieving. Sound familiar?")
            score += 1
            player_attempts += 1
            print("Your score is " + str(score) + ".")
            again = str(input("Try again."))
            if again == "no":
                play = False
            elif again == "yes":
                play = True

        elif int(player_number) == 11:
            print("Wow. You really chose 11. You are actually more intelligent than I had originally thought...")
            again = str(input("Try again."))
            if again == "no":
                play = False
            elif again == "yes":
                play = True

A: One thing I noticed was this
    while player_number != computer_number:

         if player_number == computer_number and player_attempts == 0:
            print("Wow. You actually did it. And it only took you " +
                  str(player_attempts) + "try. I'm impressed. I thought you were just one of those weirdos who "
                  "downloads a dodgy free game to escape from society...")
            score += 1
            player_attempts += 1
            print("Your score is " + str(score) + ". Maybe. I could be lying. How would you know?")
            play = False

         elif int(player_number) == int(computer_number) and int(player_attempts) >= 0:
                print("Wow. You actually did it. And it only took you " + str(player_attempts) +
                      "tries. I'm impressed. I thought you were just one of those weirdos who "
                      "downloads a dodgy free game to escape from society...")
                score += 1
                player_attempts += 1
                print("Your score was " + str(score) + ". Maybe. I could be lying. How would you know?")
                play = False

Because the first two if statement will never execute since while player_number != computer_number: contradicts the first two conditionals.

A: For a computer, it is impossible to generate truly random numbers. Instead we use a method called seeding to feed a constantly changing value (such as the current time) to a random number generator, so that it returns different values every time.
Modify your while loop to seed the random generator object, like so:
while play:
    random.seed()
    # This seeds the random number generator with the system time.
    computer_number = random.randint(1, 11)
    player_number = int(input("OK. What do you think the number is?"))
    ...

This should initialize the random object with the system time so that each execution of the code results in a different and pseudo-random value.

A: Your code structure looks like this
while play:
    computer_number = randomnumber
    player_number = inputnumber

    while player_number != computer_number:    #not equal
        if condition1:
            congratulation
        elif condition2:
            be sarcastic
        elif condition3:
            be even more sarcastic

Now if you guess the number right away, you avoid the inner while loop and go to the next computer generated random number. But if you choose a number different from the computer, you enter the inner loop and you are trapped there forever, because you don't change player_number or computer_number. The solution? Get rid of the inner loop. It is totally unnecessary, because you check this condition with your if-elif construct.
On a side note: The assigned variable of input() is already a string variable, no need to convert it with str(input(). And if you convert the input with int(input()) into an integer, then you don't have to do this integer conversion later over and over again, when you call this integer variable.

The first step in phonics is recognizing that each letter has its own sound. Once your child or students have learned their letter sounds, they are on their way to being beginning readers.
Often, reading programs will teach the continuous letter sounds first (like "mmmm" and "ssss") before teaching the more abrupt sounds like /t/ or /c/. I always wondered why they didn't go in order, and recently I read that that is the logic behind it.
Also, try not to teach similar looking letters back to back like: b, d, p, q. Notice they are very similar, just turned different ways? The reversals b and d are very common, and I do not mark off for them when grading.
Kindergarten typically focuses on a new letter each week.

Grandhomme quits internationals for Big Bash payday

New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme quit international cricket on Wednesday after being unexpectedly drafted to play in Australia's Twenty20 Big Bash League (BBL) around the new year.
The 36-year-old's selection as a "gold" pick for the Adelaide Strikers in Sunday's BBL draft presented a conflict with his central contract with New Zealand Cricket (NZC), which ran to next July.
NZC said in a statement on Wednesday that de Grandhomme had decided to retire from the international game and had been released from his contract.
Fellow Black Cap Trent Boult was also released from his central contract earlier this month to allow him to focus on playing in the lucrative T20 leagues proliferating around the world.
Zimbabwe-born de Grandhomme, who has played 29 Tests, 45 One-dayers and 41 T20s for his adopted country over the last decade, said he had found the grind of international cricket getting harder and harder in recent weeks.
"I also have a growing family and am trying to understand what my future looks like post-cricket," he said in a NZC statement.
"I've been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to play for the Black Caps since debuting in 2012, and I'm proud of my international career, but I feel this is the right time to finish."
De Grandhomme, who scored 1,432 runs at an average of 38.70 and took 49 wickets in Test matches, was part of the New Zealand team that won the inaugural World Test Championship last year.
"Colin's been a hugely influential part of the Black Caps and contributed to some of the team's greatest achievements," said New Zealand coach Gary Stead.
"While it's sad to see him go - we appreciate he's at a stage in his career where he's looking to head in a different direction and we respect that."
The head of the global cricketers union (FICA) warned last week that the drain of talent from the international game to T20 leagues was a bigger concern than ever.

We had two sessions in one: Session 0 for creating La Resistence and The Government and setting first secrets (as they created their characters by their own), and Session 1 (a try the waters simple adventure).
First of all, we created La Resistence. As Paulo's characters hates the VR by some backstory, the players setted the Manifesto to From Le Treillis to L'Apoogée, we'll bring people back to Reality, so they want to disrupt totally the society stratification and the isolation that the Le Treillis provokes into people from reality.
To the Weakness, they chosed Very few, very apart, many agendas to see that, at least from the start, there's not exactly one great Resistence, but groups that are scattered and set apart, each one trying to push their own agenda aside La Resistance's one… and even about them.
For the starting Advancements, they chose (one each) Hijacked Shipments and Hearts and Minds. This was fun for me as GM.
Then, we came to the Government's Advancements and the PCs chose Surveillance Optimization, and I had forgot it totally in the first Session, or else I would turn PCs life hell. And I've took Infrastructure Investiment, so I can cash things in the Bank so I can milk it later in the campaign.
We had some difficult in next step, setting Secrets, as there was just two players and we had to put some extra secrets so the secrets could be not deductables, but using Google Hangouts had worked okay. We're using Roll20 (for maps and rolls), Hangouts (for chat, recording - via Youtube Live - and screen sharing), Google Spaces (for information exchaging) and Classeur (for notetaking, adventure controls and so), so they'll creating the secret details via Classeur and share with me.
As we got fast into Session 0 (as they had read the playtest documents - after signed the pledge), we got into Warehouse Raid. They had to go into Georges Méliès's tomb at Pere-Lachaise's Cemetery to get for their first mission for La Resistance, each one getting by themselves. Then, Jean-Jacques had compelled himself into the La Resistence's Weakness to be wary on Remy, and I've compelled Remy as Cityoen, as they treat Naturals like Jean-Jacques, and they had some clash on talking about trust and so, until I put the NPCs to talk them about the mission: Said, an Armiger tripodded guy from Arab ascendance with a GLaDOS-like voice and his "sidekick" somewhat, Leandra Vazaios, an Natural that, although being a little more than a child, is respected by La Resistence and is The last humanity link for Said.
Leandra made the presentations and talked about the mission. Also, to describe Said I compared it to the people near Cyberpunk 2020's cyber-psychosis. And she presented the mission and talked about their loyalties. To turn things even worse, I mentioned indirectly to Jean-Jacques's secret. They are accusing each other on mistrust, but Jean-Jacques asks about the warehouse, and Leandra presented a Blood-soaked, dirty, scrawled Installation Map. As they tried to analyse the map in secret, Said put them In Target, just in case they run. The Map also had some information about AR/VR connection and information for Remy as Hacker to use to invade and try to do things to mess with the AR/VR in the place.
They accept the mission, after a menace exchange between Jean-Jacques and Leandra, including Leandra giving Said's Last humanity link with her. And so they went for the prep scene.
Remy had created a set of fake matedata that could be useful to spoof security systems and so, while Jean-Jacques studied the Schedules and Methods of Sun Systems Biotech's warehouse. And then they had gone for the mission.
La Resistance provided a Van with fake metadata so they could enter the warehouse easily. And Remy had spoofed her metadata to get undetected so she could hack the security systems. They had lots of good rolls and they had took lots of boosts on rolls, and so I had few blowback to use against them. They had entered and a Group of Disguised Naturals from La Resistence came to turn things more correctly.
Remy plugged herself into the local systems network to spoof things and counter the security systems without problems. She had a good result, and spoofed the Security Systems to avoid detection and to use it for them. I tried to launch a clue on something I called Project ET-01 that the hakcer discovered on the warehouse inventory. Jean-Jacques asked for a cargo manifest that could be used to clean things up, and Remy was very succesful to create the manifest.
They filled the van and then Jean-Jacques got near the Security Commander, Guard Captain Rodriguez, and they used a boost for a reroll. With a Sucess with Style, he humiliated himself to Rodriguez for he to sign the fake cargo manifest, and he was successful on this. Jean-Jacques discovered that Rodriguez was the one who need to sign the manifesto so they can get out without problems. Jean-Jacques used the Schedules and Methods and the Cargo Manifest boosts to ease things to get for Rodriguez. This was the moment I thought things was so easy.
It was too easy, so I compelled on a Jean-Jacques' Being Human is More Important than live Aspect and was negated. But Remy suggested for an compel on her Aspect The Plague Doctor (her fame in the Datasphere) to make her left a message and they were detected after. They had crossed with a Corvid Economics convoy (my idea was to put them into the Convoy Ambush mission, although it had happened somewhat). They tried to detract the van, either in real life and into AR/VR.
They decided, in the end, to empty the van and bring the supplies to La Cave, and to forfeit the van. While emptying the van, they had a Success into a Minor Cost, so I chose to make them left A Way Opened to La Cave, but they left the van into neutral and had a Success into Style to made the van get into the Siene. The Way Opened to La Cave was left unscatched, but I considered the Gerdame didn't wanted to get with more problems (like I've Conceded the Convoy Ambush, with a total 4 Fate Points for the Bank). And this was the mission ending, going to debrief.
As I've not used the FPs for the mission, and so I received 2 FP for the Bank (by the Investing in Infrastructure Advance). As receive 6 Advancement Points for the Mission (they were spotted and the alarm was called). Then I started the debrief, with Leandra being a little uneasy with them, and Remy accused Leandra of double-crossing them, and Leandra accused Remy of intentionally marked the AR/VR to alert the government, with Jean-Jacques also supporting her into a tration accusation.
I put them the options for Remy: clean her name, getting double or sacrifice. Remy's player had chose to clean her name, revealing she did this because she fell in love for Said (didn't choose if this will be mutual). Then Remy explained she tried to impress Said. Jean-Jacques lost all his Advancement and I received an automatic advance.
They had took 10 Resistance Advancement Points, so they took an extra Advance, and they learned their lesson by choosing Training Archive Access to ease for themselves next missions.
For myself, I took an extra Government Advance (by Remy's cleaning her name) and put her Secret Attraction back the Secrets Deck and Remy's player took for a new secret. He took it and them we ended the session.
I think the worst was to manage all the pools involved: Advancement Points for Resistance/Government, Blowback, Bank, etc… But I think this was because it was a first time, and in next session I'll be better on this. I also had problem to obtain blowback to escalate things, but chose to save them for next missions.
Unfortunately I can't pass on more about PCs and so, because we're using things in Portuguese… But if they want some extra info, I can always put them for you into for resource links if you want, things like gameplay video, character sheet and so.
Anyway, it was fun and people understood the idea on cyberpunk and also so on. Hope to play more adventures. It was incredible, albeit the difficults. The player liked the idea that everything is growing: La Resistence, The Government, the players, everything. The system was fast and funny and left space to guide things up easily.


The Bob Grossman Leadership in School Communications Award is sponsored by West (SchoolMessenger solutions). Visit West/SchoolMessenger to learn more.
Dr. Webb holds a strong conviction that an investment in a year-round communication and relationship-building program is essential and the VPS communications office includes nine staff members serving an urban-suburban district of 24,000 students. The annual budget for communication and stakeholder engagement activities that support VPS' strategic goals and initiatives is nearly $1.1 million. A variety of communication tools, techniques and vehicles are deployed and translated into multiple languages.
The development of the district's strategic plan involved gathering input from thousands of internal and external stakeholders to craft and refine the plan, which focuses on six key areas of student achievement. This type of open and transparent communication leadership has also resulted in strong community support for levies and bond elections, with 70% of voters approving a $458 million bond in 2017.
Empowering communicators and building capacity is a priority for Dr. Webb. Effective public relations skills are a component of the annual performance evaluation for all administrators, including the superintendent. The communications team provides regular training on mass notification systems and websites and principals participate in Future Ready Administrator training that empowers them to use digital tools and resources to support staff and students and communicate with families. Orientation programs are provided for school board candidates and elected board members.
Dr. Webb is quick to embrace new communication tools and strategies, including mobile-friendly, responsive websites, social media and one-to-one devices for students in grades 3-12. An award-winning network of 18 Family-Community Resource Centers and two mobile centers ensures families, volunteers and community partners are connected to their schools.
His personal communication skills set the tenor across VPS as he models effective communication and demonstrates the use of the communication tools in place in the district. VPS is known as a "destination" district for families moving to Vancouver, and Dr. Webb's advocacy and investment in school communications has been vital to building and maintaining that reputation. The communication highlights we have noted here are only a few of the long list of Dr. Webb's accomplishments as a "communicator" superintendent. His leadership has allowed the district's communication and public engagement program to grow as he continues to empower everyone in VPS to play a powerful role in the schools.
Dr. Steven Webb truly exemplifies the communication leadership this award seeks to recognize and we are proud to honor him as our 2018 Bob Grossman Leadership in School Communications Award recipient.

Pope Francis speaks out against 'insults'
posted February 13, 2017 at 10:41 am by AFP
Pope Francis on Sunday criticised the everyday use of "insults," an apparent reference to anonymous attacks he has faced over the last week in Rome.
In his weekly Angelus address, Francis highlighted Jesus' commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," saying the edict applied not only to actual homicide, "but also to those behaviours which offend the dignity of the human person, including insulting words."
"Certainly, these injurious words do not have the same gravity and do not lead to the same verdict of guilt as homicide, but they are placed on the same level because they are the premise of more serious acts and reveal the same malevolence," he said.
Francis may have been referring to criticism he has received this past week, as well as tensions over the maneuvring of conservatives opposed to his reforms of Church teaching and governance.
"We are used to insults," he said. "It is like saying, 'Good morning'."
But "who insults his brother kills that brother in his heart," the pontiff added.
On February 4, Romans woke up to more than 200 posters of a stern-faced pope plastered all over the city, with a caption asking in Italian, "But where is your mercy?"
The unidentified posters accused Francis of having "ignored cardinals" and "decapitated the Order of Malta" -- references to a bitter dispute between the order and the Vatican that sidelined a conservative cardinal.
The day after the incident, the pope called on pilgrims during the Angelus prayer to stay far away from "the polluting germs of ego, envy, and slander."
But the attacks did not end there.
At the end of last week, he was the subject of a fake front page news story fashioned in the same style as the Vatican's official newspaper, which was sent to numerous cardinals and bishops.
Under the guise of satire, the story purported to be an interview with the pope where he gave very evasive answers to questions on Church doctrine.
In the spoof interview, Francis is said to have finally answered questions submitted by four ultra-conservative cardinals seeking to clarify the Church's position on giving communion to divorced and now-remarried Catholics.
After Francis did not respond directly to their questions, the cardinals made them public.
But the 80-year-old has shrugged off the criticisms and in-fighting.
In a November interview released Thursday by the Jesuit-run magazine Civilita Cattolica, the pontiff joked that he was not on tranquilisers and wasn't losing any sleep over conservatives opposed to his Church reforms and "corruption" in the Vatican.
