Obama: Civil liberty disaster
Thread starter Quantum Windbag
Quantum Windbag
The base is getting restless, not a good sign.
Civil libertarians have long had a dysfunctional relationship with the Democratic Party, which treats them as a captive voting bloc with nowhere else to turn in elections. Not even this history, however, prepared civil libertarians for Obama. After the George W. Bush years, they were ready to fight to regain ground lost after Sept. 11. Historically, this country has tended to correct periods of heightened police powers with a pendulum swing back toward greater individual rights. Many were questioning the extreme measures taken by the Bush administration, especially after the disclosure of abuses and illegalities. Candidate Obama capitalized on this swing and portrayed himself as the champion of civil liberties.
However, President Obama not only retained the controversial Bush policies, he expanded on them. The earliest, and most startling, move came quickly. Soon after his election, various military and political figures reported that Obama reportedly promised Bush officials in private that no one would be investigated or prosecuted for torture. In his first year, Obama made good on that promise, announcing that no CIA employee would be prosecuted for torture. Later, his administration refused to prosecute any of the Bush officials responsible for ordering or justifying the program and embraced the "just following orders" defense for other officials, the very defense rejected by the United States at the Nuremberg trials after World War II.
Obama failed to close Guantanamo Bay as promised. He continued warrantless surveillance and military tribunals that denied defendants basic rights. He asserted the right to kill U.S. citizens he views as terrorists. His administration has fought to block dozens of public-interest lawsuits challenging privacy violations and presidential abuses.
But perhaps the biggest blow to civil liberties is what he has done to the movement itself. It has quieted to a whisper, muted by the power of Obama's personality and his symbolic importance as the first black president as well as the liberal who replaced Bush. Indeed, only a few days after he took office, the Nobel committee awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize without his having a single accomplishment to his credit beyond being elected. Many Democrats were, and remain, enraptured.
It's almost a classic case of the Stockholm syndrome, in which a hostage bonds with his captor despite the obvious threat to his existence. Even though many Democrats admit in private that they are shocked by Obama's position on civil liberties, they are incapable of opposing him. Some insist that they are simply motivated by realism: A Republican would be worse. However, realism alone cannot explain the utter absence of a push for an alternative Democratic candidate or organized opposition to Obama's policies on civil liberties in Congress during his term. It looks more like a cult of personality. Obama's policies have become secondary to his persona.
President Obama has been a disaster for civil liberties - latimes.com
I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied--chains us all irrevocably.
When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything -- you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

If Obama is a civil liberty disaster, it is because he had excellent guides and teachers. The Patriot Act was most egregious in its unmitigated attempt to curtail American citizens. And I do believe it was Bush and Cheney who used communication giants like AT&T to spy on American citizens without benefit of first obtaining a subpoena to do so - talk about circumventing the law which is always an attack on America's civil liberties.
The real attack on our civil liberties continue because of arrogant politicians who are unwilling or unable to accept their share of the responsibility and those who blindly support them. Obama may have in too many incidences followed the lead set by Bush and Company with regard to policies aimed at further stripping Americans of their civil rights, but he most certainly did not spearhead it. If you must place blame, which the majority of conservative Americans are driven to do, start at the beginning, not in the middle.

Many were questioning the extreme measures taken by the Bush administration, especially after the disclosure of abuses and illegalities. Candidate Obama capitalized on this swing and portrayed himself as the champion of civil liberties.
Oh! There's a HUGE difference between Bush and Obama!
"It is self-evident that no number of men, by conspiring, and calling themselves a government, can acquire any rights whatever over other men, or other men's property, which they had not before, as individuals. And whenever any number of men, calling themselves a government, do anything to another man, or to his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers, according to the nature of their acts." --Lysander Spooner
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis

Hope this doesn't come as a huge shock to your system but our Civil Liberties were in jeopardy long before anyone ever heard of Obama.
Of course that doesn't excuse his acquiescence and support of the prior White House tenant by re-ratifying the Patriot Act and his failure to close GITMO.

"Recently, it has come to my attention that there are persons within this great country of ours who are under the misguided impression that the aforementioned initiatives are somehow legally questionable, inasmuch as they infringe upon something known as "civil rights." Well, today it's my duty to inform the good people of America that my advisors have invested tens and dozens of minutes investigating these allegations - and the fact of the matter is that the notion of "civil rights" is, in fact, an utter fallacy. It is an elaborate myth - an "urban legend," if you will - that was conceived and tirelessly disseminated by an unctuous colored preacher by the name of Al Sharpton."

In a nut-shell, this is what Obama is.
We warned everyone to no avail.
Obama is nothing more then a two-faced corrupt political-idealog with narcissistic-personality disorder and dictitorial tendencies.
He believes rules are made to be broken yet needed to keep everyone else (all the suckers) in line.
That's beside the point.
We live in two Americas.
Obama's is in the America where his screw-ups are always somebody else's fault even thought previously a POTUS owned it after 18 months.
Here we are coming up on 3 years and he's still allowed to get away with his usual "I inherited this mess" BS.
The rest of us live in the other America called reality.

3 former Man United players who could replace OGS as manager
It is no news that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's job at Manchester United is lying in the balance, but what is news is the big question of who will replace the Norwegian.
The Manchester United manager is under huge pressure at Old Trafford following two back-to-back home defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City.
United were humiliated 5-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford with home fans leaving the stadium just after 60 minutes of action. That loss was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
Fans have now given up on the manager over poor results despite the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
Though Ole is a former United player himself, most fans believe he is not capable of leading the team to greater heights.
As a result, there have been calls for his sack. Here are three former Manchester United players who could replace Ole as manager of the Red Devil.
1. Laurent Blanc: He retired in 2003 after spending the final two years of his playing career at United.
The 55-year-old Frenchman is currently in charge of Qatari outfit Al-Rayyan.
Spending the final two years of his playing career at Old Trafford before retiring in 2003, Frenchman Blanc is currently in charge of Qatari outfit Al-Rayyan where he has been in charge since December 2020.
Blanc was a manager at Paris Saint-Germain between 2013 and 2016 and was in charge of the French senior national team between 2010 and 2012.
He has won 15 major honours as a manager, including four Ligue 1 titles across his spells in charge of both Bordeaux and PSG.
2. Roy Keane: If the United board feels that a kick up the backside is what United's players are in need of, Keane would be the man.
The former Reds skipper is not afraid to speak the truth and say it how it is. How the players would respond to that would be interesting, to say the least.
However, the chances of Keane succeeding Solskjaer, despite having some managerial experience behind him from his spells in charge of Ipswich Town and Sunderland, are very, very, very slim.
3. Darren Fletcher: The former United player currently works at Old Trafford as the club's technical director and seems to be a better preference than Keane.
He has worked with the players on the training ground during his time in the role, but he, of course, lacks management experience. But everyone has to start somewhere.
Is that, though, a gamble United would be willing to take at this stage? Most probably not.
Nevertheless, the Scot may be considered as a realistic candidate to succeed Solskjaer, at least on a temporary basis, and offer fresh ideas.

CHE 0-1 MNC: 2 Mistakes Thomas Tuchel Made As Chelsea Lost Thier First Match Of The Season
Chelsea and Manchester City played against each other at Stanford Bridge today. The match was a very entertaining and tight contest as both teams performed very well on the pitch. Both managers went into the match with their best formation as they were keen on securing all 3 points.
At the end of the encounter, Manchester City won the game 1-0. The goal was scored by Gabriel Jesus and Assisted by Cancelo.
In the match, Thomas Tuchel failed to avoid 2 mistakes as Chelsea lost today. Check out the 2 mistakes that Thomas Tuchel made as Chelsea lost today.
1) Substituting Ngolo Kante
The first mistake that Thomas Tuchel made today was substituting Ngolo Kante. The Chelsea manager started the midfielder in his formation but took him out in the second half.
This was a poor substitution as Ngolo Kante was doing very well on the pitch. He made some excellent tackles and interceptions in the match.
2) Changing His Main Formation
Thomas Tuchel uses the 3:4:3 formation very well as it has been a very organized tactic in most of the matches that he has played. In today's game, he used a 3:5:2 formation. The formation was uncomfortable to some of the players which led to high pressure from Manchester City's team.
Check out the formation that Thomas Tuchel used today.
Chelsea manager started Edouard Mendy in goal ahead of Kepa. The goalkeeper made some excellent saves as he looked sharp.
Thomas Tuchel paired Christensen, Azpilicueta, and Rudiger at the heart of the defense as he was keen on solidifying the defensive phase of the team.
In the midfield area, Thomas Tuchel lined up Ngolo Kante, Kovacic, and Jorginho in the central midfield position.
On the wings, Thomas Tichel used Reece James and Marcos Alonso. Both players drove forward when the team attacked and backward when the team defended.
In the attack, Thomas Tuchel deployed Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku. Both players were unable to cause problems for Manchester City's defense.

MUN 0-1 AVL: 2 Mistakes Ole Gunnar Solskjær Made As Manchester United Lost Their First Home Game
Manchester United lost at Old Trafford in today's Premier League fixture. Ole Gunnar Solskjær failed to keep their home winning streak going as they lost to Aston Villa. Manchester United lost their first home game of the season. It wasn't the performance most Manchester United fans were expecting, Ole Gunnar Solskjær had what it took to get past Aston Villa and top the league table but he failed to do just so. Here are the two mistakes Ole Gunnar Solskjær made as Manchester United lost their first Premier League fixture this season.
1. Playing Without Jesse Lingard: Jesse Lingard always made an impact every time he came in as a substitute this season. Ole Gunnar Solskjær started him in League Cup tie against West Ham United but couldn't do the same today. Jesse Lingard should have taken Paul Pogba's position as a winger while Paul Pogba's assumes Fred's position. Ole Gunnar Solskjær played with more of a defensive lineup today, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mason Greenwood and Bruno Fernandes were only the attacking threats in today's match. Aston Villa made it difficult for Manchester United to get behind their defense.
Manchester United couldn't improve in the second half of the match, their performance in the first half wasn't encouraging. Manchester United suffered few injury problems in today's match but that never accounted for their loss as they had other players who would come in and even perform better. Manchester United's defense lacked focus when Aston Villa scored the opening goal. The final minutes performance from Manchester United shows how important Harry Maguire is to their back line.
2. Tactics: Ole Gunnar Solskjær played with the same tactics today which was obviously not helping. He went with the same tactics used against West Ham United and it was still the same outcome. Ole Gunnar Solskjær needed to change his tactics, he needed to have more attacking players involved in the action. He had players like Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard but did start with either of them. These players would easily make an impact against Aston Villa today. Manchester United will have to keep their heads up as they have bigger game ahead of them.

Cristiano Ronaldo Turns Up For Training In Brand New Bentley Flying Spur
Ronaldo's garage keeps expanding after the 36 year old Portuguese star added a Bentley Flying Spur to his car collection.
He took his new Bentley Flying Spur for a spin as he arrived at Manchester United's Training Complex on Thursday.
The Bentley is his second acquisition since making a shock return to United, after being spotted earlier in a Lamborghini Urus.
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has added a new Bentley Flying Spur luxury sedan worth £250,000 to his staggering and expanding car collection.
The 36 year old five-time Ballon d'Or winner took his new Bentley Flying Spur for a spin after being spotted arriving at United's The AON Carrington Training Complex on Thursday.
Cristiano Ronaldo's latest hand-built flagship Bentley is his second acquisition since making a shock return to his former club, Manchester United, after being spotted earlier in a Lamborghini Urus.
Ronaldo, who admitted to Piers Morgan in an interview he likes to have two of everything, now has over two dozens supercars from brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls Royce.
Autojosh had earlier revealed that the Portuguese superstar added over 15 high-end and expensive rides to his impressive car collection since he left the Red Devils over a decade ago.
These included a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and Chiron, and over Ferraris, including a $480,000 F12 TDF and $385,000 599 GTO, he bought while playing for Spanish club, Real Madrid.
At Juventus, the petrol head bought a limited edition $1.06 million McLaren Senna, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and got a Brabus Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon SUV gift from his girlfriend as birthday gift.
When Ronaldo takes delivery of his Bugatti Centodieci, the ultra-rare model, limited to just 10 worldwide and worth $9 million, will be the most expensive in his impressive garage.
Earlier this month, Cristiano Ronaldo was mobbed by fans while leaving Manchester United training in a ₦150M Lamborghini Urus Super SUV.

Chelsea vs Man City: 3 key players whose absence may dent Tuchel's unbeaten record
Chelsea and Manchester City will lock horns in the English Premier League in Saturday's early kick off at the Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Chelsea has not lost any EPL game so far this term, sitting joint top on the table with 13 points from five matches, and will be hoping to maintain that record even against a formidable team like Manchester City.
For the Pep Guardiola side, it has not been a smooth start this season. They have lost one game and drawn one, placing 5th on the log with 10 points from five matches.
Both coaches know the importance of the encounter, but a UEFA Champions League fixture next week means they have to manage their players very well amid tight fixtures.
The season is well underway and Chelsea's load of fixtures has no sign of lessening after their victory over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup. The sides we're level after 90 minutes but, fortunately, the Blues were spared extra time with ties moving directly to penalties.
After their fixture on Saturday, Chelsea is up against Juventus in the Champions League, and Tuchel looked to manage his squad ahead of two gargantuan matches.
But these three players may most likely not feature in Saturday's match or at the very least, they may play as substitut
1. Edouard Mendy: The 29 years old has not featured since he picked up a knock in the game against Zenit St Petersburg but returned to individual training on Wednesday.
Mendy was not involved in the squad for Aston Villa but Tuchel hoped that the Senegalese international would feature in Thursday's training session. However, he is by no means guaranteed to play against Manchester City.
2. N'Golo Kante: The French international has been inconsistent for a while due to injury. He was substituted Mason Mount at half time against Aston Villa on Wednesday in a role reversal of the change that occurred in the win over Tottenham in the Premier League.
3. Timo Werner: The former RB Leipzig forward was conspicuous in his absence from Chelsea's list of penalty takers at Stamford Bridge, particularly after opening the scoring for the Blues in the second period.
It turns out the 25 years old had a calf issue and had to remain on the pitch after Mount, Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley had already entered the field.
Whether he has recorvered and fit to play against Manchester City has not been confirmed yet.

7 Top Managers Who Are Available If Manchester United Sacks Ole
A Manuel Lanzini's 9th-minute strike was the only goal of the game as Manchester United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by West Ham United last night. The result invites further scrutiny on the position of the club manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who was already facing calls to be sacked from a section Manchester United fan base.
(Photo credit: Alamy stock photos).
While the club is expected to stick with their Norwegian manager after his impressive start to the new Premier League season, below are seven top football managers who are currently available should the board decide that a change in coaching personnel will benefit Manchester United in the long run.
1. Zinedine Zidane.
The 49 years old French manager is currently without a club after ending his second coaching spell at Real Madrid on the 27th of May 2021.
Zidane is probably the best available option at the moment, and the opportunity to coach a top like United will surely interest him. The chance to coach Cristiano Ronaldo again will also appeal to him.
2. Antonio Conte.
The 52 years old former Chelsea manager is the right man for the job if Manchester United are looking for a short term option that could help win a trophy for the club.
The disadvantage of hiring Conte is that he might walk away from the job at any moment, and he could also clash with the players due to his ultra-defensive style of play.
3. Ernesto Valverde.
The 57 years old Spanish manager has been jobless since he was sacked at Barcelona in the summer of 2020.
Ernesto Valverde time at Barcelona could be described as a success after winning 2 league trophies in his three years at the club.
4. Frank Lampard.
The former Chelsea manager has been without a club since he lost his job to Thomas Tuchel.
A patient club like Manchester United will be a good opportunity for him to get his career back on track.
5. Lucien Favre.
The 63 years old Swiss manager has been without a club since he left Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
6. Claudio Ranieri.
The 69 years old Italian manager is currently without a club after leaving Sampdoria towards the end of last season.
Ranieri proved, during his time at Leicester City, that he has what it takes to lead a Premier League club to title success.
7. Andre Villas-Boas.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham manager has been without a club since he was removed from his position at Marseille.
The 43 years old Portuguese manager is now a more experienced coach than when he first came to English football.

2 popular singers who were present at Old Trafford for Ronaldo's second debut for Man United
Ronaldo's second debut for Manchester United was nothing short of exhilarating. Not just because of the goals, but also the distinguished guests who were present. Distinguished dignitaries made their way to Old Trafford to watch Ronaldo play. Among theses honoured guests were two popular singers. They are mentioned below;
1. Burna Boy
Nigeria's Grammy Award winning singer Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy was present for Ronaldo's debut. He was spotted in the residential area of the stands wearing his Manchester United shirt with the number 23 imprint.
The singer has always been a Manchester United fan. He has good relations with the club and some of the club's players. He recently featured in a Pepsi advertisement with Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
The singer also took his mother and his entourage along with him to Old Trafford.
2. Stormzy
The talented British rapper was also present to watch Ronaldo make his debut for Manchester United. Just like Burna Boy, he wore a Manchester United shirt just like the fans. He is also a known Manchester United fan. He and Paul Pogba also share a friendship. He posed for a photo with fellow singer Burna Boy before the game kicked off.
Asides Ronaldo's debut, another possible reason for the unusual appearance at Old Trafford by Burna Boy and Stormzy could be to promote Burna Boy's show. His 'Space Adrift' concert was scheduled to happen after Manchester United's game against Newcastle. Burna Boy and Paul Pogba were seen dancing on stage during the concerts after the game.
The singers were not the only dignitaries to appear at Old Trafford. One member of the Glazer family was spotted in the stands. Mr Glazer had not been at Old Trafford since 2018 but attended the game to watch Ronaldo. In case you're wondering, the Glazer family owns Manchester United Football Club. Former Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was also seen in the stands.
Ronaldo's mum was also seen in the stands. She was spotted crying after Ronaldo scored his first goal since he re-signed for Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo's kids begin new school in UK after his Man Utd transfer as Georgina Rodriguez posts cute snap
CRISTIANO RONALDO'S kids have started their new school in Manchester as Georgina Rodriguez posted a cute snap.
With Ronaldo completing a sensational transfer return to United, his partner Georgina and four kids have also uprooted to the UK.
Cristiano Jr, 11, with Mateo, four, left, Alana Martina, three, and Eva Maria
Cristiano Ronaldo pictured with his four kids
For his children Cristiano Jr, 11, Eva Maria, four, Mateo, four and Alana Martina, three, it meant moving schools.
And they all posed for an adorable family picture in their uniforms as they prepare for life in England.
Cristiano Jr, who previously starred for Juventus' youth squad, was born in America in 2010, believed to be with a surrogate mother.
Ronaldo then announced in June 2017 that he had fathered twins via a surrogate mother again, also in the United States.
The same year, Georgina gave birth to birth to baby daughter Alana Martina.
Ronaldo, 36, left United in 2009 to join Real Madrid in a then-record £80million move.
From there, he joined Juventus but after three years in Italy, the Portugal icon told the club he wanted to leave.
United, who first signed Ronaldo in 2003 from Sporting Lisbon, swooped in and agreed a deal nearing £13m.
And it could now also see his eldest join United's U-12 side, who Wayne Rooney's boy Kai, 12, plays for.
Rooney, who won the Champions League and English title with Ronaldo, spoke glowingly about his former team-mate after news of his return.
He said: "Cristiano is still one of the best players in the world and has won titles everywhere he's been so he's going to be huge
"He still wants to be the best and I'm sure he will have a big impact on them this season.
"Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] will certainly know that he's in a position now where he needs to start winning these big titles with the players that he's brought in.
"For their development, to get to the next step now is to start winning titles."

Calls for Priti Patel to answer why asylum seekers in Milton Keynes were housed at historic hotel
Councillor Paul Trendall has called upon Milton Keynes Council to write to the Home Secretary explaining why MK was chosen to house potential refugees
Liam RyderNews Reporter
Milton Keynes Council will hear a motion about the asylum seekers being housed in MK (Image: Google)
A Milton Keynes councillor is demanding answers from the Government over the housing of asylum seekers "without consultation" at a historic hotel in the borough.
Councillor Paul Trendall is calling on Milton Keynes Council to press Home Secretary Priti Patel over why a hotel in the Woughton area was picked despite being "further from the coast than almost anywhere else in the UK".
Cllr Trendall (LD, Campbell Park & Old Woughton) submitted a motion ahead of next week's full council meeting asking the authority to investigate the asylum seekers' placement in Milton Keynes.

He notes that the country has a "responsibility" to house asylum seekers but wants MK Council to write to the Home Office to address concerns over contractor Clearsprings.
Cllr Trendall also wants the Covid-19 status of the asylum seekers clarified while they stay at the grade II listed building.

Cllr Trendall's motion requests that Milton Keynes Council note the Home Office has 'decided without consultation with the council or the local people' to place asylum seekers in accommodation in a hotel in the area.
He also wants council leader Pete Marland and its chief executive, Michael Bracey, to write to Ms Patel asking: "That they explain why this location, further from the coast than almost anywhere else in the UK, was selected."
The motion continues: "Explain why the Home Office contractor, Clearsprings, is asking for community volunteers to help with local transport when their director was paid £3.6m last year, and additionally shared in a £1.4m dividend bonus;
"Explain why Milton Keynes residents who wish to volunteer are being asked by Clearsprings to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements, and are being told it is a requirement of the Official Secrets Act;

"Explain the Covid-19 vaccination status of the individuals, especially so as they will be allowed to 'come and go'."
Cllr Trendall also wants the Home Office to "engage with local faith group leaders to ensure that the asylum seekers are able to properly take part in their religious observances".
He has also requested that three ward councillors and council officers be allowed to undertake unannounced visits to the venue.

Ricky Gervais has joined a host of celebrities in expressing anger at the shooting of a gorilla that dragged a four-year-old boy around its zoo enclosure.
The male western lowland gorilla named Harambe was killed at Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday by a special response team that feared for the boy's safety.
Zoo officials have been criticised for shooting the animal while the mother has been described as negligent after the boy climbed through a barrier at the Gorilla World exhibit and fell 12ft into a shallow moat.
In an apparent swipe at the boy's mother, the comedian said on Twitter: "It seems that some gorillas make better parents than some people."
Video taken by zoo visitors showed the gorilla at times appeared to be protective of the boy, thought to be called Isaiah, but also dragged him through the shallow moat.
Piers Morgan, host of Good Morning Britain, admitted the parents had taken "their eye off the ball", but laid the blame squarely on the zoo.
"RIP Harambe. A magnificent gorilla dies because a zoo failed to make its barriers safe," he tweeted.
Brian May, the Queen guitarist and singer who is also a prominent animal rights activist, also spoke out, saying the gorilla has been "murdered".
"Why was this Gorilla murdered ? No trial - no reason. No excuse. Who will prosecute? Bri (sic)".
The Cincinnati Zoo's director, Thane Maynard, on Monday defended the decision to kill the gorilla, noting it's easy to second-guess after the child was recovered safely. He said there was no doubt the boy's life was in danger.
Police in Ohio said the mother, believed to be Michelle Gregg, was not facing charges but prosecutors could later decide to bring them.
Claiming on social media to be the boy's mother, she insists she "keeps a tight watch on my kids".
A spokeswoman for the family said on Monday they had no plans to comment further.
In the US, ESPN broadcaster Michelle Beadle urged TV shows not to give the parents publicity.
She said: "Please morning shows, don't put these idiot parents on your programmes. The gorilla is dead. No one wants to hear from them."
Anthony Seta, an animal rights activist in Cincinnati, helped organise a vigil on Monday outside the zoo. Rather than seeking to blame anyone, he said the gathering was not meant to honour Harambe, who turned 17 the day before he was shot.
A Facebook page called "Justice for Harambe" was created along with online petitions and another page calling for a June 5 protest at the zoo.


15 up-and-comers to keep an eye on this year.
Eleven weeks into the new year and the reality of life in 2017 is starting to settle in. The initial shock of November's US Presidential election outcome has dispersed and the punitive consequences of Donald Trumps divisive actions are starting to take effect. While it's easy to be disheartened, it's important to keep pushing the for the issues that matter the most. For the fashion industry, this means committing to employing and telling the story of a truly diverse mix of people—which at CR, is something we've always strived to do.
With that in mind, we'd like to introduce a group of 15 talented up-and-coming singers, mold-breaking artists, and young models that we're proud to celebrate and work with this year—all of whom remind us that it's our differences as human beings that keeps things interesting.
Here, get to know each rising star and see how they styled themselves for a portrait with photographer Eric Chakeen.
Paloma Elesser, an L.A.-born, New York-based plus-sized model, writer, and social media maven.
"I'm looking forward to people waking up. I think that now, more than ever, we have a social responsibility to be active in what we believe in and create what we want to see. My friends, my peers, and the next generation are inspiring—and together, we have a lot more power than we think."
Rachelle Vinberg, the co-founder of an all-female skateboarding collective in New York called Skate Kitchen and the star of Miu Miu Women's Tale "That One Day," directed by Crystall Moselle.
"Something that skateboarding's taught me is that the only way you can learn a new trick is by not being afraid to fail. I try to bring that mindset to everything that I do, so if a new opportunity comes my way, I say 'yes' without thinking too much about the consequences."
Chloe Wise, a multi-talented artist who draws, paints, sculpts, and creates film.
Which other artist do you admire?
"There are a lot of amazing female artists who inspire me. Alice Neel was a prolific painter in her time and I love Cindy Sherman. The poet Maggie Nelson motivates me to be a better feminist, activist, and artist."
Jacket Paco Rabanne, Shorts Louis Vuitton, Shoes Chloé.
Richie Shazam, a model and artist who's releasing a photo narrative book on New York subcultures later this year.
"Follow the beat of your own drum, but don't be too proud to listen too. Put down the tools of technology and be an active engager in society. Don't hide behind the screen, actually do things, walk around, explore—and don't be afraid to stir the conversation."
Dress Chanel, boots Gianvito Rossi, Earrings Dior.
Chase Sui, the niece of fashion designer Anna Sui and a junior at Harvard University, who's breaking into the world of film.
What is your greatest motivation?
"My family and my aunt, who has shown me that it's possible to have it all but still be a good human being."
When the going gets tough, what do you do?
"Take a step back, breathe, and recount the positive steps I've already achieved. Then I try to have a really honest conversation about what I need to do to move forward. There are ways to overcome even the biggest obstacles when you really dedicate time to thinking about it."
Lulu Bonfils, a 17-year-old plus sized model who's signed to Wilhelmina modeling agency and still at high school in Connecticut.
"Any famous plus sized model is an inspiration to me. I'm still starting my career and they are the ones paving the way for me. They give me confidence that I can achieve great things as a model and give me the incentive to keep doing what I'm doing."
Charlie Klarsfeld, the musically-gifted son of fashion photographer Pamela Hanson who's composed tracks for Tom Ford and Chloe and is currently scoring his first feature film.
What do you have coming up in 2017?
"I'm going to be releasing my own, original music for the first time in years and I'll wrap up composing music for the full-length film. It's an independent movie starring Uma Thurman, Tim Roth, Sofia Vergara, and Crispin Glover—and it's my biggest project to date."
Jacket Saint Laurent, Sweater A.P.C.
Sarah Branon, a runway model who runs underground workwear brand, Peels with her boyfriend out of their apartment in NYC.
"Luck and chance. I always wanted to be a model and then I was scouted and everything happened the way it was supposed to. I'm super grateful for the initial start, but now that I have a career, I know how much hard work it is to maintain. I try to stay as grounded and humble as possible and do my best to be pleasant to work with so people will continue to book me."
Justine Skye, a 21-year-old singer and songwriter, born and raised in Brooklyn.
"I'm working on my debut album; hopefully it will be out before the end of the year. It's my first album, so I want to make sure that it's something that people remember. I'll also be hitting the road for my 8Ounces Tour in May.
Top hood by Air, Shoes Gianvito Rossi.
Naomi Smalls, a drag performer.
What inspired you to pursue a career in drag?
"I love to prance and pose and I was always obsessed with '90s supermodels. I wanted to find a way to incorporate all of those things into my life, so I created Naomi Smalls. With her, I've met so many amazing people and traveled the globe."
Coat Marc Jacobs, Shoes Christian Louboutin, Tights Emilio Cavallini.
Milk, a professional cross-dresser and drag queen.
What advice would you give to other aspiring drag queens?
"My advice to others is the same as the advice that I give myself. Nobody pushed me to become a drag queen, I chose this career and lifestyle for me, so it's important not to let anyone else try and steer my path. They are welcome to watch and come along for the ride, but it's my journey and my career and no one else can tell me what I can, could, or should achieve."
Top hood by Air, turtleneck The Row, shoes Marc Jacobs, tights Wolford.
"It's like putting pieces of the puzzle together. Sometime restraints can be regenerative and fill in the narrative for you. This year, I'm trying to figure out how to move forward as a human, an artist, and an activist in the best possible way."
Parker Kit Hill, a social media star and ballet dancer based in New York City.
What message do you hope to convey to the world in 2017?
"If anything, I hope that my career acts as a pair of glasses to people and shows them that it's O.K. to just be yourself. Everything that I've achieved so far has been down to me just being me. Even when I've faced negativity, I've stayed positive and true to who I am inside."
Jacket and shoes Dior Homme, turtleneck The Row, pants J.W. Anderson.


A surety bond (sometimes called a construction bid bond) is a three-party agreement by which the surety (insurer) binds itself to discharge the contracted obligations of a principal (contractor) to an obligee (owner) in the event that the principal fails to fulfill such obligations.
The surety or bond provider (insurance company) assures the project owner that the contractor will perform a contract by completing certain work to a declared standard. If the contractor fails to perform the work as has been specified, now the surety company is responsible to see that the project is completed. There are three major forms of construction surety bonds.
Not all forms of surety bonds are the same. If you need surety coverage the construction bond company company, in this case Armour, is going to look at you in regards to both your financial and prior experience in the construction industry. They will look at your capacity to take on the job, credit history and overall financial strength, character and reputation as well as quite a few other factors when deciding to give the bond. It is important to ensure that your bond provider is experienced and knowledgeable in the industry. Trust Armour to prepare your construction bid bond properly.
This type of bond is best started well ahead of the project so that it can be in place when the bids are processed. For a further detailed description on Surety Bonds see our bond overview page.

Adjiben - Africa Mma - Songs Of Freedom (CD, Album)
09.11.2019 09.11.2019 / Masho / 9 Comments on Adjiben - Africa Mma - Songs Of Freedom (CD, Album)
Ndodemnyama we Verwoerd was written in the s by the iconic Vuyisile Mini, a singer and ANC member who wrote some of the most influential resistance songs in the early years of apartheid. Directly translated from isiXhosa to English, the lyrics read:. Watch out, here is the black man, Verwoerd! Hamba Kahle Umkhonto.
Nkosi Siskel Iafrika. Toyi Toyi Beat. Rolihlahla Public Domain. Sizo Ngena Public Domain. Ilizwe Ngelethu Public Domain. Somlandela Public Domain. U-Machel Public Domain. Sobashiya Abazale Public Domain. Welele Public Domain. Freedom Charter Public Domain. Shayalan Amabala Public Domain. It employs a series of trumpet riffs by Masekela, supported by grand series of chords.
Music review website AllMusic describes the melody as "filled with the sense of camaraderie and celebration that are referred to in the lyrics. The vocal choir during the joyous chorus is extremely moving and life affirming".
Makeba uses this as a platform for vocals that are half-sung and half-spoken, similar to blues music. The apartheid government greatly limited freedom of expression, through censorship, reduced economic freedom, and reduced mobility for black people. The government established the Directorate of Publications in through the Publications Act, but this body only responded to complaints, and took decisions about banning material that was submitted to it.
However, the government used its control of the South African Broadcasting Corporation to prevent "undesirable" songs from being played which included political or rebellious music, and music with "blasphemous" or overtly sexual lyrics , and to enforce its ideal of a cultural separation between racial groups, in addition to physical separation it had created.
As a result of the practices of the SABC, record companies began putting pressure on their artists to avoid controversial songs, and often also made changes to songs they were releasing. Black musicians were forbidden from playing at venues when alcohol was sold, and performers were required to have an extra "night pass" to be able to work in the evenings.
Since these were based in the "independent" homelands of Transkei and Bophutatswana , respectively, they were nominally not bound by the government's regulations. Although they tended to follow the decisions of the Directorate, they also played music by bands such as Juluka, which were not featured by the SABC.
Neither station, however, played "Sun City" when it was released in , as the owners of the Sun City resort had partial ownership of both stations. A large number of musicians, including Masekela and Makeba, as well as Abdullah Ibrahim and Vusi Mahlasela , were driven into exile by the apartheid government. Songs written by these people were prohibited from being broadcast, as were all songs that opposed the apartheid government.
Nonetheless, it became a part of the number of musical voices protesting the apartheid regime, [68] and became an important song for the anti-apartheid movement in the late s. Artists within South Africa sometimes used subtle lyrics to avoid the censors. The censor failed to notice this, and the song became immensely popular, reaching No 1 on the government's own radio station. Other bands used more direct lyrics, and faced censorship and harassment as a result.
Savuka , a multi-racial band, were often arrested or had their concerts raided for playing their song "Asimbonanga", which was dedicated to Biko, Mandela, and others associated with the anti-apartheid movement. Major surveillance and threats from police sparked trouble at the beginning of the tour, which created issues over suitable venues, and the musicians were forced to play in abandoned buildings. Lucey's producers were intimidated by the security forces, and his musical recordings confiscated: Lucey himself abandoned his musical career.
The song was banned, and an individual could be jailed for five years for owning a copy of it. After the release of his first album "Change is Pain" in , he was arrested and tortured: the album was banned. When they were stopped, black musicians were often asked to play for the police, to prove that they were in fact musicians.
Commentators have stated that as with many social movements, music played a large role in the resistance to apartheid. Writing in the Inquiries Journal , scholar Michela Vershbow writes that although the music of the anti-apartheid movement could not and did not create social change in isolation, it acted as a means of unification, as a way of raising awareness of apartheid, and allowed people from different cultural background to find commonality.
The groups themselves intended their performances to raise awareness of apartheid outside South Africa sometimes described as raising consciousness , and to generate support for their activities, as well as to raise funds for the ANC. In addition, they filled the role of "presenting an alternative vision of culture in a future democratic South Africa.
Music scholar Anne Schumann writes that music protesting apartheid became a part of Western popular culture, and the "moral outrage" about apartheid in the west was influenced by this music. In , their blessed CD got a Grammy award as the best-traditional-world-music. Their music makes us dream of a peaceful exotic land as our worries and troubles disappear into oblivion. Well, by that am not talking about any other music group, but the one and only Ladysmith Black Mombazo acapella group.
Brenda Fassie, best known as the queen of African pop, is one of the well-acclaimed musicians from South Africa who enjoyed international fame. Until her death, which happened on May 9th, , this singer and performer, toured different regions of the world while scooping a number of awards and sharing platforms with some of the greatest international musicians like Whitney Houston, Freshlyground, and Lionel Richie.
Trevor Jones may not be that popular outside the film world, but some of his projects have actually managed to make him an international musician and one of the greatest from South Africa, as well. Hugh Masekela, born on 4th April , is a flugelhornist, cornetist, trumpeter, composer, and singer from South Africa. Actually, that was the first African Jazz group to have ever recorded an LP and, as well, perform to a record-breaking audience in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Freshlyground is an Afro-fusion band that was formed in in Cape Town.
Interesting enough, this band has members from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, all who bring versatility to the music the group produces. Singing built the courage necessary for people to take on a seemingly unbeatable opposition. Each chapter of apartheid, whether it was passive resistance, military action, violence and death, elections, or victories, led to the birth of a new group of songs. In South Africa, song remains an integral emotional release and vital political vehicle amongst the masses.
Freedom Songs will not only move you, but also take you on an historical journey that changed the course of a nation. In , African artists continued to make major strides by signing big deals, winning top awards, Top SA hip hop songs of Hip Hop is among the biggest genres in South Africa and has forged a unique sound for itself Top 10 Naija dance songs of It has been a great year in the Nigerian music scene, witnessing many singles and album releases Top 10 East African music collabos of Collaborations can often bring much success to musicians around the world.

In Africa, musicians compose and sing thousands of songs about contemporary topics. This collection represents a musical protest against apartheid. Pete Seeger, Guy Carawan, and Garrett Morris learned these from a tape recording made by leaders of the African National Congress in and perform.

The apartheid regime in South Africa began in and lasted until It involved a system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy, and placed all political power in the hands of a white minority. Opposition to apartheid manifested in a variety of ways, including boycotts, non-violent protests, and armed resistance. Music played a large role in the movement against.

The Resume reflects not only the details of the person but also the changes that are happening in the working world. We are presenting the issues that you should strictly avoid in a Resume.
Some industries require a long resume when the person is involved in several projects. Only the jobs and roles which are relevant for future career need to be included. The skills acquired should be useful in the future. Instead of including details about earlier job roles it is always better to add recent experiences, as they add value and show the process of the evolution of the candidate. Recruiters have a short time to review and judge all applications and the candidate must attract and make an impression on them in a short span.
Avoid Typos- as they are easy to pick up and reflect you in a bad light. Always proofread your Resume carefully, and go for a double check.
It has now become redundant except in a few places. Instead of the face, your body of work must create the required first impression in the eyes of the recruiter. Highlite the ability to do your job.
A resume is a marketing tool. The conscious recruiter judges and analyzes, all the details, by seeing the dimensions of the applicant through watchful eyes. Every aspect of resume needs to be purely professional, appropriate, clear, neat and apt. Print it on a good quality paper as even that matter counts. Be careful about the font you use. It is best to use official fonts and avoid comical ones. Formatting and layout are equally important. The layout is also noticed and creates an ideal impression on a recruiter.A resume should never disorganize or poorly presented.
Avoid presenting anything that makes, embellished, exaggerated or untrue. It saves from future unsavory and embarrassing situations. Do not resort to spinning or saying a lie. It is important to keep all things real and true.
The vocabulary used should be professional avoiding big bombastic words and jargon. It does not produce the desired effect. Avoid Using words and phrases in the wrong context. Do not appear more knowledgeable than you actually are.
Armed with these details, make your perfect CV be confident, dress well and appear in a positive frame of mind while going to the interview. Success will definitely knock at your door.


Everybody knows it rains a lot in Seattle, so it was a no brainer that most of the Seattleite couples get married during the summer. However, don't forget about the fact that it is also a great time to take engagement photos. Jessica and Michael live in Monroe, Washington which is a suburban area about an hour away from the city. They enjoy a more countryside environment, but they also immerse themselves in the city every once a while for salsa dancing and visiting friends.
It was a sunny day when I took them around downtown Seattle for their engagement session. Besides from taking pictures with some iconic landmarks in downtown, I also became a tour guide and took them to some hidden gems such as the Nest at Thompson Hotel. It was a rooftop bar overlooking the Seattle waterfront.
An engagement session is not only giving the engaged couple an opportunity to take pretty photos, it also gives us an opportunity to get to know each other, letting the couple know what my working style and approach are so they could feel more relaxed being in front of the camera on the wedding day. And this photo achieved just that! It was a candid shot in which the couple were just enjoying the drinks with the astonishing view in the sunny Seattle.

Davis Announces 2020 Congressional Art Competition Winner
U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill) today announced the winner of the 2020 Congressional Art Competition for the 13th District. First place was awarded to Dorie Bulthuis, a senior at Cerro Gordo High School and second place went to Kaelyn Albert, a senior at Mt. Zion High School.
The first place submission will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. for one year and be invited to attend the official ceremony in Washington. Additionally, the second-place submission will be displayed in Davis' Decatur district office.
"Congratulations to Dorie and Kaelyn on their accomplishment," Davis said. "I look forward to seeing their artwork proudly displayed in the U.S. Capitol and in my Decatur office."
Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives as an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in our congressional district. The Congressional Art Competition was created in 1982, and hundreds of thousands of high school students have participated throughout the years. One winner is chosen from each participating district, and the winner's artwork is then sent to Washington, D.C. for display in the U.S. Capitol.

Via upgrades C3 processor with low power Nehemiah core
Tom Krazit (PC World)
Via Technologies has upgraded its C3 processor with a new core, codenamed Nehemiah, which includes a random number generator integrated at the hardware level, the Taipei company announced Tuesday.
The new processor will launch at 1.0GHz, and will process 3D media applications 70 percent faster than Via's existing Ezra core, said Richard Brown, director of marketing at Via.
Known primarily as a manufacturer of chipsets and motherboards for PC processors, Via is attempting to bring better digital media performance and low power consumption to low-cost PCs and other home media devices. It recently upgraded its Epia mainboard, and will sell that product coupled with the new Nehemiah C3 to PC manufacturers as a complete platform, similar to what Intel plans to do with its Centrino platform for notebooks, Brown said.
Via C3 processors are currently selling in some of the least expensive PCs on the market from Microtel Computer Systems, available for around US$200 to US$300 on Walmart.com. The new processors will also be targeted at users looking to build home networks or customers in emerging markets such as China and India, Brown said.
"PC product managers need new choices. They need to add significant value beyond just assembling PCs, and a lot of innovation is taking place in emerging markets," he said.
Rival PC chip makers Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are willing to let Via have that low-end of the market, said Kevin Krewell, senior editor of the Microprocessor Report and general manager at market research company In-Stat/MDR.
"There is a niche there, and (Via) can provide both a processor and a chipset solution at a price lower than what Intel and AMD can accept, in modest volumes," he said. The new C3 processor will cost US$45 in 1,000-unit quantities.
The low power consumption of the chip makes it ideal for home media devices, in addition to PCs, Brown said. Via will market the Epia mainboard platform to consumer electronics companies for devices such as set-top boxes and personal video recorders, he said.
The new core also includes a random number generator, known as Padlock. In order to generate software keys needed for data encryption, a good random number generator is extremely important, and random numbers generated by software or hardware add-ons are not good enough to keep up with sophisticated hacking attempts, said Glenn Henry, president of Centaur Technology, a processor design subsidiary of Via.
Via also chose not to use a device driver to pass the random numbers generated by the processor to the application, since that creates a potential security breach, Henry said.
"Anytime some software fools with random numbers that is not under (the user's) control, that's bad," he said. "Intermediate software in the world of serious security is a bad thing."
The random number generator promises greater confidentiality for users on wireless networks, as well as for embedded devices such as kiosks or gaming machines, Brown said.
By the end of 2003, Via will scale the C3 Nehemiah processor up to 1.4GHz, Brown said. Like AMD, Via designed its chip for more efficiency per clock cycle, as compared to Intel's chips, he said.
The Nehemiah core is comparable to processors on the low-end of Intel's Pentium 4 line that run around 2.0GHz, he said. However, Via will not introduce a performance rating system for its processors similar to what AMD has done, preferring to educate customers on the unique benefits of its low-cost technology, Brown said.
A mobile version will be out around the end of the first quarter, and Brown alluded to a forthcoming Tablet PC announcement around the same time.
The chip is available worldwide to PC manufacturers as of Tuesday. No major PC vendors such as Hewlett-Packard or Dell Computer have jumped on board, but Via expects to continue its relationship with Microtel, Brown said.

Q: An old IBM SureOne POS Terminal - Need some answers I picked up an old IBM SureOne POS Terminal for a whopping 50 British Pennies!
I have never owned a computer from this era, and because of the lack of documentation online, I have had it for months and only just managed to work out how to open the case (I hate hidden screws).
I have found a few things with this machine which are different to more modern machines I use, and I need some confirmation on three specific points relating to RAM and the expansion card slot.
1-What type of RAM is this? Here are the two sticks which were installed:

2-Is this an ISA card slot? (I am showing the right angle adapter because it was easier to take a picture of than the actual computer):

3-This is some RAM I ripped out of an old TV Internet box thingy. It looks like the stuff which was in the computer and fits the RAM slot perfectly, but is it the same? And because I ripped it out of what wasn't a computer should I trust it to have the same pinout and to work safely?

A:
What type of RAM is this?

133MHz, SDRAM PC133, 168p DIMM, 3.3v

Is this an ISA card slot?

No
Source

A:

*

*What type of RAM is this?

Ramhound cites the SureOne data sheet to conclude that it's 133MHz, SDRAM PC133, 168p DIMM, 3.3v, but I think that data sheet may be for a later SureOne model.
Looking at those sticks I would say that they're both 72-pin SIMMs. The first SIMM seems to be 70ns speed, judging by the "-7" on each chip. There's a data sheet for the M5M44400CJ DIMM here, which identifies it as a 5-volt, 1Mx4 chip. Put eight of them together, and I'd say you have a 70ns 4MByte SIMM.
The second SIMM also seems to be 70ns speed, judging by the terminal "70" on the Goldstar GM71C4400BJ70 DRAM chips. This appears to be a 1Mx4 chip, so eight of them will again deliver 4MB of RAM.

*Is this an ISA card slot?

Ramhound says "No", but it looks like a 16-bit ISA slot to me. Also this IBM technical reference makes clear the 4614-1xx/Axx IBM SureOne models had Partial Length PCI/ISA slots. If you can provide a SureOne model number, you may get a more precise answer.

*Is this TV box RAM the same?

This appears to use the 72-pin SIMM form factor, like your two sticks from the original POS machine. The chip on the right side marked HY5118164C is a 1Mx16 Hyundai CMOS DRAM with 60ns access time and a 1K refresh. Assuming the left-hand chip is the same, I would say this is also 4MB SIMM. As to whether it's parity or not, EDO or not, I can't say.

Q: How to make register command on discord.js and mongodb atlas? I want to save my discord member data using register command, please help me!!
bot.js
 client.on("message", msg => {
  if (msg.content === "!register, ign:<input from member>, level:<input from member>"){
    const newProfileSchema = new ProfileSchema({
      discordid: "Discord Member Username",
      ign: "<input from member>",
      level: "<input from member>",
    })
  }
})

And this is the schema look like
Schema.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const ProfileSchema = new Schema({
  discordid: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  },
  ign: {
    type: String
  },
  level: {
    type: Number
  }
});

module.exports = User = mongoose.model('profile', ProfileSchema);

A: From what I understood, because your question is not clear at all
You need to add collection to your db using mongoose when command !register is run.
const ign = args.slice(1).join(" ")
const level = args.slice.... // same thing
const newSchemaprofile = new Schema({
       discordid: message.author.id,
       ign: ign,
       level: level,
}).save();
message.reply({content: 'Your data is saved'})

This is how you save data with mongoose

Q: Drop article titles in biblatex-nature I need to create a bibliography in which if the reference is an article the title should not be cited and if the reference is a book the title should be cited. I use the command:
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=nature,isbn=false,url=false]{biblatex}
\iffieldequalstr{entrytype}{article}{???}{???}

A: biblatex-nature has an option called articletitle that lets you suppress the title of @articles. It has a related option called intitle that lets you suppress the title of @inbooks and @incollections.
Both of these options are false by default, meaning the titles are not suppressed. But you can set them to true in order to omit the title.
\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

Emory and the Confederacy, Part Three: The case of A. B. Longstreet
January 15, 2019 emoryhistorian 3 Comments
Generations of students have lived in Longstreet–Means Hall without knowing much, if anything, about the Emory presidents for whom the building was named—Augustus Baldwin Longstreet and Alexander Means.
Augustus Baldwin Longstreet
Alexander Means
Longstreet had practiced law and achieved fame and fortune as an author before entering the Methodist ministry and then becoming president of Emory (1840–48). Means was a minister and scientist as well as an educator. He served only one year as president (1854–55) because the trustees tired of his trying to juggle his job at Emory while teaching at Augusta Medical College and Atlanta Medical College. Both Means and Longstreet were slave owners and supporters of the Confederacy, but Longstreet was more prominent in defending the Old South.
A native of Augusta, Longstreet attended a private school in South Carolina, where he boarded in the home of John C. Calhoun, the state-rightist and apologist for slavery. Following Calhoun's example, Longstreet attended Yale, then practiced law back in Augusta, eventually becoming a judge. He also bought the Augusta Chronicle, a newspaper that he renamed the State Rights Sentinel, which advocated political positions in harmony with Calhoun's anti-Federalist views.
Longstreet's lasting literary achievement, however, was a series of humorous stories about life in rural Georgia. He gathered some of these into a book, Georgia Scenes, which reviewers at the time universally praised and later critics viewed as a precursor to a genre perfected by Mark Twain. In 2000, Longstreet was inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame, largely on the basis of Georgia Scenes.
The book's financial success provided Longstreet the wherewithal to enjoy a comfortable life. Shortly after its publication in 1835, however, he entered the Methodist ministry. He was serving a church in Augusta in 1839 when the board of trustees of Emory College offered him the college presidency. Longstreet accepted and served until resigning in 1848 to become the president of Centenary College in Louisiana and later president of the University of Mississippi and the University of South Carolina. During the Civil War, he returned to Oxford, Mississippi, where Union soldiers used his personal papers to build a fire and burn down his house.
When Longstreet stepped into the president's office, Emory College had completed only three terms and was hanging tenuously to existence. A deep recession in 1837 had left the college nearly bankrupt. The trustees no doubt saw in Longstreet a person of intellect, energy, and renown who could lift the college out of its trouble. He traveled throughout the Southeast and as far as New York to garner support for the college. Longstreet also used personal funds to keep the college afloat. On leaving the presidency in 1848, he wrote off the $4,800 the college owed him in loans and back salary—about $149,000 in 2015. All of that totes up on the positive side of the Longstreet ledger.
On the debit side, Longstreet twice became embroiled — and not in a positive way, by our modern lights — in controversy over slavery during his presidency. The first instance grew out of the ownership of slaves by Bishop James O. Andrew, president of the Emory College board of trustees. When the national conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church met in New York City in 1844, abolitionist sentiment in the church prompted a month-long debate about Bishop Andrew's fitness for office in view of his ownership of slaves. The church divided over the issue. Longstreet was thick in the middle of this debate, firmly on the side of Bishop Andrew and the slave-owning South.
Longstreet also became closely associated with slavery through A Voice from the South, a book he published in 1847 while president of Emory. Framed as ten letters from the state of Georgia to the state of Massachusetts, the volume is an extended argument not in defense of slavery but against the hypocrisy of the North. Longstreet points out that Georgia prohibited slavery until 1750, while New England profited handsomely from the slave trade. Now, with an industrial economy employing what Longstreet calls "white slaves," the North has had a change of heart about slavery while not changing its heart about "negroes," whom it excludes from Northern society in various ways. The book is a justification of increasingly popular Southern support for secession.
Remembering Longstreet at Emory, then, requires a balancing of accounts. On one side of the ledger lies his defense of a Southern way of life that we now see as reprehensible. On the other side lies his nearly decade-long work to help the struggling college to survive and, indeed, begin to flourish.
In the next post, more about the building named for Presidents Longstreet and Means.

Always great to read your blog and be reminded of Emory's long history.

I lived in Longstreet Hall as a freshman in 1968. I always assumed it was named for James Longstreet, the Confederate general.
