Q: .bat batch file looping over multiple python files and compare output with a desired output file I have a batch file where a python script data.py is called 33 times and tests some data.
The input to test is in test.a
The output of this script should be compared to a file with the desired output content. The goal is to have no differences in all 33 test loops (--> the python script works properly)

Is there a way to compare the output of the .py with test.b WITHOUT generating the output.txt file ?
And another little problem. These output files are exactly the same, in output.txt it is empty, in test.b the whole solution gets displayed. Why? If there is no difference it shouldn't display anything right?

Argentina coach Guillermo Orduna: "I'm very happy because it was a very good, close match. We had to overcome some tough situations, but I was able to use many players and they all played well. Sometimes we lacked concentration and made errors, so we must review that and see what we need to work on. We've played Peru many times and know what a strong team they are, but my team showed very strong mentality today."
Argentina captain Emilice Sosa: "I want to thank Peru for making such a great match. It's always hard when we play them. We had trouble dealing with their serve but we fought to overcome it. It's a strong South American rivalry and it was a very good match."
Peru coach Mauro Marasciulo: "Congratulations to Argentina. We played well and it was a great match. We are missing two attackers who aren't here because they are preparing for a U20 tournament, so that makes it more difficult for us. But the younger players are performing well; they only made four errors on 30 serves and that tells me we are going in the right direction."
Peru captain Mirtha Uribe: "Congratulations to Argentina. Both teams fought really hard. Unfortunately, we didn't do well on our service-reception and couldn't win. But we competed fiercely and with strong emotions. They are strong rivals for us and always seem to end 3-2."

Why Did Noirin O'Sullivan Ask GSOC To Inquire Into An Allegation That She Believed Was Just A Mistake?
Bodger at 3:14 pm March 12, 2018
Former Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan attends the tribunal on January 24
At the Disclosures Tribunal. Judge Peter Charleton has repeatedly made the point that transcripts of the O'Higgins Commission of Investigation show that nobody explicitly put to Sgt Maurice McCabe at the commission "did you sexually abuse a child?".
Michael McDowell SC, for Sgt McCabe, has agreed with this as many times as Judge Charleton has raised it.
The context for this is that a woman, referred to as Ms D, made an allegation against Sgt McCabe in December 2006 which was found to have no foundation by the DPP in April 2007.
Judge Charleton described the DPP's directions "as close to an exoneration as anyone could get".
Ms D's allegation of 'dry humping' was incorrectly conflated into a rape allegation after she went to see a counsellor in August 2013 in what the tribunal was told was a clerical error.
It was further conflated when it was sent to An Garda Siochana and the Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan in May 2014 – even though gardai involved in sending the false rape allegation up the chain of command knew the original 2006 allegation had nothing to do with rape.
Fast forward to the O'Higgins Commission of Investigation, between May and December 2015 – which was tasked with looking at complaints about policing in Cavan and Monaghan – and we know "gross falsehoods", in the words of Mr McDowell, or "factual inaccuracies", in the words of former Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan, were levelled against Sgt McCabe at the O'Higgins inquiry – which mainly centred on the DPP's directions in respect of Ms D's 2006 complaint.
The falsehoods/inaccuracies committed to paper followed Colm Smyth SC, for Ms O'Sullivan and other senior gardai, telling the commission that his instructions were "to challenge the integrity" of Sgt McCabe – something he would later, in November 2015, say was a "error".
Judge O'Higgins put it to Mr Smyth on May 15, 2015: "One can suggest to a witness that his evidence shouldn't be believed because of something, but an attack on somebody's credibility, on his motivation or integrity, is something that really doesn't form part of this inquiry. It would be necessary, I think, for you to go further and say that the complaints and the actions of Sergeant McCabe on your instructions were motivated by — his motivation was dishonest or wrong. In other words, that he made these allegations not in good faith but because he was motivated by malice or some such motive and that impinges on his integrity. If those are your instructions from the Commissioner, so be it. "
Mr Smyth replied: "So be it. That is the position, Judge."
The aforementioned falsehoods/inaccuracies were raised in evidence at the outset of the commission, committed to paper in the form of a 20-paragraph letter submitted on behalf of the Chief State Solicitor Eileen Creedon to the commission on May 18, 2015, and, in some cases, committed to paper again when written submissions were later made to the commission on June 11, 2015.
One of the falsehoods/inaccuracies was an allegation that Sgt McCabe was angry with the DPP and that he wanted the DPP's directions challenged.
This was made before the O'Higgins Commission heard that Sgt McCabe had been briefed fully of the DPP's directions and was very satisfied with them.
Another falsehood/inaccuracy was in the CSS letter which referred to a meeting Supt Noel Cunningham had with Sgt McCabe.
Supt Cunningham was accompanied at the meeting, in Mullingar in August 2008, by Sgt Yvonne Martin.
Of this meeting, the CSS letter – about which Sgt Martin was never consulted – stated:
"Having been appointed to investigate Sergeant McCabe's complaint against Superintendent Clancy, now Superintendent Noel Cunningham, having attempted on a number of occasions to meet with Sergeant McCabe, eventually met with Sergeant McCabe by appointment on the 25th August 2008 in Mullingar Garda Station, to receive details of his formal complaint. Superintendent Cunningham was accompanied to this meeting by Sergeant Yvonne Martin.
"Notes were taken at the meeting and countersigned by Sergeant Martin and a detailed report of the meeting was prepared by Superintendent Cunningham, and its contents agreed with Sergeant Martin and forwarded to Chief Superintendent Rooney. In the course of this meeting Sergeant McCabe advised Superintendent Cunningham that the only reason he made the complaints against Superintendent Clancy was to force him to allow sergeant McCabe to have the full DPP directions conveyed to him."
What actually happened was, the tribunal has heard, Sgt McCabe was asked, in February 2008, by Supt Michael Clancy, to write a report about matters pertaining to the D family after two public confrontations with Mrs D and Ms D in October 2007 and that Supt Clancy suggested he would try to get the DPP's directions to the D family.
There was no complaint made against Supt Clancy and there was no threat of force either.
And, finally, the submissions – about which Sgt Martin was also never consulted – stated:
"Sergeant McCabe then made a series of complaints against other officers in Bailieboro Station, including Superintendent Clancy against whom he alleged a lack of support. Chief Superintendent Rooney appointed Superintendent Cunningham to investigate these complaints. Superintendent Cunningham attempted to meet Sergeant McCabe to discuss the complaints and finally did so on 25th August 2008. On this occasion, Superintendent Cunningham was accompanied by Sergeant Martin.
It is understood that Superintendent Cunningham will give evidence that Sergeant McCabe said at that meeting that the complaint which he had made alleging lack of support, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, was a bid by him to have the full DPP directions conveyed to him and the complaining party. This is recorded in a report of the meeting prepared jointly by Sergeant Martin and Superintendent Cunningham."
The submissions repeat the incorrect claim from the CSS letter and say Supt Cunningham will give evidence to that effect but this doesn't occur.
It should be noted the CSS letter was delivered on May 18, the submissions were submitted on June 11 and Sgt McCabe's transcript of the Mullingar meeting was circulated to the legal parties at O'Higgins on June 19.
Then, on June 24, the matter of any force being applied by Sgt McCabe was dropped.
In respect of these gross falsehoods/factual inaccuracies, Mr McDowell has been firm that Sgt McCabe believes that by raising the Ms D allegation – in terms of the DPP's directions on the same – that this was a strategy deployed to discredit Sgt McCabe at the commission.
Specifically, Mr McDowell has told the tribunal: "..we believe and we say, and Sergeant McCabe is adamant on this, that it was dragged back in in a collateral way to embarrass him, to query his motives, to make him — to demean him in the eyes of the Commission…"
Ms O'Sullivan has maintained that what occurred with the three matters about the DPP directions referred to above were merely mistakes or errors – and that this was her understanding in 2015.
Further to this…
Last Thursday…
Judge Peter Charleton posed the question: "What are we here for?".
He was speaking about the term of reference E which specifcally states:
To investigate whether the false allegations of sexual abuse or any other unjustified grounds were inappropriately relied upon by Commissioner O'Sullivan to discredit Sergeant Maurice McCabe at the Commission of Investigation into Certain Matters in the Cavan/Monaghan district under the Chairmanship of Mr. Justice Kevin O'Higgins.
Yesterday, in the Sunday Business Post…
In respect of the question posed by Judge Charleton last week, Katie Hannon wrote:
"He [Charleton] had been hearing submissions from counsel for the former Garda commissioner's legal team at the O'Higgins Commission, who made the case that this module had come about "entirely on the basis of leaks of false information" that fake allegations of sexual abuse were relied on to discredit Sergeant Maurice McCabe at the O'Higgins Commission.
"It would indeed be a major outrage if two months of a tribunal had been wasted in investigating an erroneous leak. But the reality is that the leaks that caused such public disquiet at the time never suggested that McCabe had been accused of child sexual abuse before the commission.
"Indeed when Frances Fitzgerald was in the witness box the chairman asked her, as the minister who had presided over the drafting of this term of reference, "Where did the notion that anybody had made false allegations of sexual abuse and put them to Sergeant McCabe at the O'Higgins Commission ever come from?"
"Fitzgerald responded: "Well, it's very hard to say exactly where it arose. But it seemed to be . . . it seemed to be an innuendo that, you know, was around, and that . . . in terms of, I think there may have been, there may have been some media coverage in relation to it."
"If such media reports exist, this correspondent has not been able to find them. At the time the leaks emerged from the O'Higgins Commission, it had never been publicly reported that McCabe had been the subject of a false child abuse allegation.
"That only came into the public domain nine months later [in February 2017] when the Tusla file and the unfounded Ms D allegation emerged.
"Until then, the leaks suggested that McCabe's motivation had been challenged on the basis that he had admitted to making allegations of garda malpractice because he had a grievance against a senior officer.
"After the Tusla revelations, journalists were in a position to report that this alleged grievance was in relation to the handling of the DPP directions relating to the Ms D case by a senior officer.
"The question raised by the leaks was whether the Garda commissioner was stating that she fully supported McCabe in public while challenging his motives behind the closed doors of the O'Higgins inquiry.
"Justice Charleton's question to the former minister is a pertinent one: why did the Department of Justice ask the tribunal to inquire into an allegation that had never been made?
"Counsel for McCabe, Michael McDowell, told the tribunal this week that his client had been accused by Nóirín O'Sullivan of being a "disaffected" sergeant on the basis of a number of false premises advanced by her legal team before Justice O'Higgins.
"He [Michael McDowell SC, for Sgt McCabe] contends that the D case was introduced at the commission in a peripheral way in a bid to discredit his client.
"That McCabe was accused of angrily demanding to have the DPP directions relating to this case changed to completely exonerate him, in circumstances where McCabe was "thrilled" with the DPP's directions.
"That McCabe was accused of having admitted in a meeting to an improper motive for making his allegations of garda malpractice because he was trying to force the hand of a senior officer to have those directions given to the D family.
"That while a report and notes of this meeting were produced which didn't mention this confession, it was only after McCabe produced a verbatim transcript of the entire meeting that this charge was dropped."
The term of reference E hasn't been the only matter blamed on media reports.
Readers will recall how when Ms O'Sullivan gave evidence at the tribunal she, similarly to Ms Fitzgerald, also blamed supposed false leaks or "distorted truths" in the media for deciding to refer both Supt Noel Cunningham and Sgt Yvonne Martin to the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) in May 2016.
And in the same way that Judge Charleton has asked why the Department of Justice asked him to inquire into an allegation that had never been made – it could be asked: why did Noirin O'Sullivan ask GSOC to inquire into an allegation that she believed was just a mistake?
The decision to refer Supt Cunningham and Sgt Martin to GSOC came very shortly after reports about the O'Higgins Commission of Investigation by Mick Clifford, of the Irish Examiner and Katie Hannon, of RTE, on Thursday, May 12 and Friday, May 13, 2016.
Readers will recall that, prior to the publication of his article in the Irish Examiner on May 13, Mr Clifford sent the following press query to An Garda Siochana:
"We at the paper understand that the counsel for the Commissioner, on instruction, told Mr. O'Higgins that it would be the Commissioner's case in the inquiry that Maurice McCabe had acted out of malice. This submission took place in the early days of evidence hearing. We also understand that Mr. O'Higgins was told that evidence to that effect would be produced but ultimately never was. In relation to that, we are just asking if Commissioner O'Sullivan wished to comment on the above assertions."
In response to his press query, Mr Clifford, the tribunal heard, was told that because of the provisions of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, Ms O'Sullivan couldn't comment.
Of the May 13, 2016 article, Ms O'Sullivan told the tribunal it:
".. published a particular line, and erroneous facts in terms of the O'Higgins Commission and proceedings at the O'Higgins Commission, which started what I can only describe as a vortex."
Over the next two weeks there were swirling communications between Ms O'Sullivan, Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald, Terry Prone, of the Communications Clinic, and Ken O'Leary, from the Department of Justice, about both the Commissioner and the Minister for Justice's response to the matter – but Ms O'Sullivan was adamant in her evidence to the tribunal that this wasn't a co-ordinated response.
In addition, on Monday, May 16, 2016, Ms Fitzgerald and Ms O'Sullivan met and, according to the agenda of the meeting, they specifically discussed what happened at the O'Higgins Commission of Investigation, and Mr Clifford's articles about the same.
The tribunal heard Ms O'Sullivan said of this meeitng:
"I made it very clear to the Tánaiste at that meeting that what we were dealing with was a report in a newspaper which did not factually portray what had actually transpired at the O'Higgins Commission, and most certainly did not portray my position or my view.
"And on the basis of that, I felt very strongly, as I said earlier here, that it had become a very political issue, and that I, as a public servant and as Commissioner of An Garda Síochána was being put into a position where my role and the statutory position was being politicised in a way that was unacceptable to me. And I outlined to — insofar as I could, because even in my conversations with the Tánaiste, I was also very conscious of section 11 and the proceedings being private.
"But I outlined as broadly and as fully as I could within the constraints of that what the position was, and what had actually transpired at the proceedings and particularly my position in relation to Sergeant McCabe."
The tribunal also heard that, two days later, on May 18, 2016, Ms O'Sullivan's liaison officer at the O'Higgins Commission of Investigation Chief Supt Fergus Healy was called into Garda HQ for a meeting to discuss what happened at O'Higgins.
In his evidence, he referred to being "grilled".
On the same day, CS Healy created a report on the matter for Garda HQ which was also to be part of a briefing for the minister.
In it, CS Healy wrote about the meeting in Mullingar Garda station on August 25, 2008 – and repeated the so-called "error".
Mr Healy wrote:
"Inspector Cunningham was accompanied to this meeting by Sergeant Martin. Inspector Cunningham advised counsel that an ancillary but important issue arose at the meeting in that Sergeant McCabe advised Inspector Cunningham that the only reason he made the complaint against Superintendent Clancy was to force him to allow Sergeant McCabe to have the full DPP directions in respect of said investigation conveyed to him. Notes were taken."
This was an initial draft and didn't get sent.
In his final report, CS Healy wrote:
"In the course of consultations, it transpired that the then-Inspector Cunningham had conducted an investigation wherein Sergeant McCabe had been involved. A meeting was held in Mullingar Garda Station with Inspector Cunningham and Sergeant McCabe by appointment on the 25th August 2008. Inspector Cunningham was accompanied to the meeting by Sergeant Yvonne Martin.
"An ancillary but important issue arose at the meeting in Sergeant McCabe advised Inspector Cunningham that the only reason he made the complaint to Superintendent Cunningham was to force him to allow Sergeant McCabe to have full DPP directions in respect of the said investigation conveyed to him. Notes were taken at the meeting and countersigned by Sergeant Martin and a detailed report of the meeting was prepared by Superintendent Cunningham and its contents agreed with Sergeant Martin and forwarded to Chief Superintendent Rooney.
"In this regard and during the course of proceedings in pursuit of the truth and establishing the facts, while being fair and balanced to all witnesses, a submission was made by counsel for the Garda Commissioner to introduce to the Commission of Investigation the reasoning for Sergeant McCabe's complaints in the first instance. Counsel for the Garda Commissioner was requested by the Commission of Investigation to set out a chronology of the issues pursued to assist the Commission of Investigation in establishing the facts.
"This request was complied with on 18th May 2015 when a document [CSS letter] was provided to the Commission of Investigation which included references to the meeting in Mullingar and ancillary matters recorded by Inspector Cunningham and agreed by Sergeant Martin arising at that meeting.
"The Commission of Investigation instructed counsel for the Garda Commissioner to provide to Sergeant McCabe's counsel, Mr. McDowell, with a copy of the document. Following further discussions, the Commission of Investigation proceedings adjourned.
"It transpired that the Commission of Investigation had been provided with [as read] Sergeant McCabe with a tape recording of the meeting in Mullingar on 25th August 2008. The Commission of Investigation got a tape transcribed but declined to allow matters arising in relation to the ancillary issue concerning Sergeant McCabe to be discussed at the hearings.
"A discussion ensued as to what were the exact instructions of the Garda Commissioner. A heated exchange took place at the Commission of Investigation in this regard. Arising from the document provided to the Commission of Investigation, counsel for Sergeant McCabe argued that Sergeant McCabe's character was under attack.
"The proceedings adjourned to confirm instructions. Counsel sought instructions as to tab B. Consequently, the Commissioner's instructions were confirmed in line with those advised at the commencement of the Commission of Investigation and there the matter rested. However, on day 29, 4th November 2015, Judge O'Higgins sought clarification on the Commissioner's instructions.
"Mr Colm Smyth, for the Garda Commissioner, clarified the position, which is contained in the transcript of day 29 of the hearings. It must be noted that counsel for the Garda Commissioner had no control of witnesses called to give evidence at the Commission of Investigation. That was a power that was laid solely within the remit of the Commission of Investigation. In addition, permission had to be obtained from the Commission of Investigation to cross-examine witnesses."
Then the following day, May 19, 2016, it was decided that Supt Noel Cunningham and Sgt Yvonne Martin would be referred to GSOC.
This decision was made at a meeting of the same day which was attended by Frances Fitzgerald, Frances Fitzgerald's advisor Marion Mannion, Secretary General at the Department of Justice Noel Waters, Ken O'Leary, Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan and Deputy Commissioner John Twomey.
In a note of the meeting – which was given to the tribunal the day before it discussed it – it's noted:
"— said that the most appropriate place to allegation that two officers lied is GSOC"
The tribunal heard, from Ms O'Sullivan, that it was Deputy Commissioner John Twomey who said this.
On May 20, 2016 the Garda Press Office made Ms O'Sullivan aware of further press queries from The Sunday Times, The Irish Examiner and Irish Independent, in relation to her instructions at the O'Higgins Commission .
On May 21, 2016 Ken O'Leary, from the Department of Justice, was emailing Ms O'Sullivan a draft letter from Ms O'Sullivan which was to be sent to the Department of Justice.
Later on May 21, 2016, the tribunal heard that Supt Noel Cunningham wrote to Ms O'Sullivan about the press matters, however the letter wasn't read out to the tribunal.
Asked about this letter, Ms O'Sullivan said:
"Superintendent Cunningham was quite understandably upset and distraught at some of the material that had appeared in the public domain, which was a misrepresentation of his position also."
It's not known if or how Ms O'Sullivan responded to this correspondence from Supt Cunningham.
On May 22 and May 23, 2016, there were further drafts sent from Mr O'Leary to Ms O'Sullivan in relation to the report which was to be sent to Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald and to form the basis of her second public statement on the matter.
On May 24, 2016 Deputy Commissioner Twomey sent the draft again to Ms O"Sullivan with comments from Terry Prone. This time the draft was referred to as Last Chance Saloon.
Later that night, at 10.50pm, Mr Twomey sent what turned out to be the final version of the draft to Ms Prone, for her "comments and expertise".
This letter – which eventually gave rise to Ms O'Sullivan second statement on the matter – was eventually sent to Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald on May 25, 2016.
It contained the line:
"There has been a suggestion in recent reportage that two senior officers had sought to misrepresent before the Commission the contents of a meeting they had with a sergeant in Mullingar in 2008. In those circumstances and in order to resolve any public disquiet, misplaced or otherwise, which may arise, and in the interests of fairness to all involved we requested, pursuant to your powers within the Garda Síochána Act, that you refer that aspect to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission for the purposes of investigating it in the public interest."
Of this letter, Ms O'Sullivan said:
"This was a very important letter. I saw it probably as one of the most important letters that I had been required to write in my career, and I very much felt that my, my reputation, but also my position as Commissioner of An Garda Síochána, was very much dependent on it. It was very important that the Tánaiste would be as fully informed, as I said, as possible, and it was very important that we got the factual accuracy right."
Ms O'Sullivan's public statement – which was borne out of the letter to Ms Fitzgerald – was published on May 26, 2016.
It was through this statement that the public were told, for the first time, that Supt Cunningham and Sgt Martin – in respect of the the matter concerning the Mullingar meeting – were being referred to GSOC.
Given that Ms O'Sullivan told the tribunal that she understood the three matters pertaining to the DPPs directions to be simply errors, some might find it confusing that she went ahead and referred the two gardai to GSOC.
When questioned about the decision to refer both Supt Cunningham and Sgt Martin to GSOC, Kathleen Leader, BL for the tribunal, had the following exchange with Ms O'Sullivan, before Judge Charleton pressed Ms O'Sullivan further.
Leader: "Just finally, Ms O'Sullivan, in relation to the GSOC referral arising out of the O'Higgins Commission, did Chief Superintendent Healy not ever tell you that Sergeant Martin didn't attend at the Commission, never gave evidence at the Commission, and he, in fact, had one telephone call whereupon he asked her was she available to give evidence?"
O'Sullivan: "I don't believe that we ever discussed it in detail, but the purpose of the referral was in the public interest, to ensure — so the allegation that was in the public domain was the fact that two members of An Garda Síochána, and we now know that Sergeant Martin actually, I note that she has corresponded with the Tribunal, but two members of An Garda Síochána had intended to perjure themselves at the O'Higgins Commission of Investigation, and my understanding is, that was the issue that we were referring to GSOC, along with, separately, some other issues that had been raised to us by another party who was in attendance at the Commission."
Leader: "But I think the issue was that people had perjured themselves, so do you not think maybe it was a bit severe to send Sergeant Martin to GSOC, via the Minister, when nobody had actually spoken to her about her evidence to the O'Higgins Commission?"
O'Sullivan: "Chairman, I am not aware that anybody was found to have perjured themselves at the O'Higgins Commission. That was certainly never brought to my attention."
Leader: "The charge was in the public domain at that time?"
O'Sullivan: "Oh, yes, the charge in the public domain —
Leader: "Yes."
O'Sullivan: "– was that — well, Chairman, if I can explain it like this: GSOC were set up to have independent oversight of investigating serious issues in relation to members of An Garda Síochána. I think I have attempted to explain to the Tribunal the position I found myself in at this time, nobody was going to accept my word that this was the case, and that was the fact of what I was facing to deal with, the appropriate mechanism to have these matters dealt with, in fairness to both Superintendent Cunningham and Sergeant Martin, to have their names cleared, so to speak."
Charleton: "I mean, how could she be committing perjury as she had never even given evidence? I mean, it seems — I know that's been reported, but newspapers — sorry, I beg your pardon, the paper won't refuse ink, but, I mean, why compound that, is the question by Ms Leader?"
O'Sullivan: "It was completely erroneous, Chairman, but this was what was in the public domain and this was what was causing the political and public disquiet and this was what had been erroneously reported in a number of media outlets and this was what was in the public and political mind, and, as I say, the position I found myself in, if I were to say that Sergeant Martin, for example, hadn't done something, actually I don't think anybody was within the frame of mind."
Charleton: "If you had said she had never given evidence, I would imagine people might well have believed you."
O'Sullivan: "Not necessarily, Chairman, the position that we found ourselves in —
Charleton: "Well, then the second thing was, if you actually read her statement, and this has come up a number of times, but, well, you know, she may well have her rights, but this statement which she gave, which could perhaps have been, to use the now very popular word, deployed at the O'Higgins Commission, was completely backing up Sergeant McCabe —
O'Sullivan: "Oh, completely."
Charleton: " — in relation to the Mullingar meeting, in the event that there was a misunderstanding about that."
O'Sullivan: "Yes, completely, Chairman, and I think the unfortunate situation that everybody found themselves in, the erroneous facts and the distorted truths that were put into the public domain led to a situation which was completely unfair to everybody involved in this process from the outset…"
If it was Ms O'Sullivan's belief that what the O'Higgins Commission was told about the Mullingar meeting was just an error, why did Ms O'Sullivan refer Supt Cunningham and Sgt Martin to GSOC?
Why didn't she inform those present at the meeting on May 19 that, rather than a lie, it was simply a mistake?
Judge Charleton commented recently about the decision to refer the two gardai to GSOC, saying:
"That is something that I won't understand until my dying day, particularly Sergeant Martin."

She asked GSOC to investigate what she knew was a fake allegation because she was trying to smear Maurice McCabe and destroy his credibility. I mean does anyone doubt that at this point? She and Callinan and many othe senior guards were trying to grind this good man into the ground, it's time to call a spade a spade!

Dont know if my comment below wasn't appearing over some naughty words or if it's not allowed.. delete at will of course.
Which part was the bad part? Calling Noirin a weasle? Or maybe it was just easier to delete the comment than perform multiple edits? Maybe I (as a valued commenter) will try to give the mods a break from now on.
anne March 13, 2018 at 12:22 am
haha. I'm valued? Ah thanks.
So yiz wanted to delete it.. not a fupping bother :-) I do be thinking it's a fault somewhere with the system not allowing the naughty words.
Now ye have me looking like Sybil talking to myself…but yeah I agree with myself I am valued..lol
I will give the mods a break. Hang on, actually I never say diddly about my comments being deleted..unlike some precious ones about the place.
Noirin is a weasle though. That's the official stance of the tribunal & all isn't it? To what extent is Noirin a two faced weasle who will throw all & sundry under the bus when they've been caught rotten.

Lying consistantly in the face of forensic questioning is almost impossible to succeed. The capacity to keep numerous balls swirling in the air will eventually crumble. Best example Bertie "I won the money on the horses"
GiggidyGoo March 12, 2018 at 8:47 pm
Enough of this. Enough. Every last one of the FG elected dail inhabitants need to be visited by their constituents and told in no uncertain terms to grow a pair and start dealing with this criminality. Pensions for the likes of Callinan and Sullivan should be removed, or taxed at 100%. Same goes for their henchmen and women. Make the TDs accountable. Nothing focuses the mind of these types more than being taken off the gravy train.
Concerted effort now needed.

Many in Milledgeville do not have their own water system. This means they need to be located near a water hookup. The restroom trailers that are fully accommodated, such as including air conditioning, may need to be hooked up to electricity in order to run. The space needs to have these hookups in order to rent this type of facility. Without it, basic stalls may be all that can be used.
Events held at night will require lighting near the restrooms. Most in Milledgeville do not come with light inside, so access to some will be extremely important. Placing the porta johns near a lighted stage, well-lit food stand, or other location with lighting will make the experience more enjoyable. If this is not possible, then lights should be added to the area to help keep the bathrooms lit during late night hours. Most become extremely dark inside, making it difficult for people to find their way around without some type of lighting.
Many people are aware that in Milledgeville exist, and that they come in handy for special events where a large amount of patrons are present. What many do not realize is just how those in Milledgeville get to their locations. Not many are left to stand all year round, and are instead only present for a few days at a time. Most in Milledgeville are rented from a company and put in place during the duration of an event. Here is the definitive guide to portable toilet rentals and how they work best.
Handicap stalls are now also available. These are relatively the same as the regular in Milledgeville, except they are larger in size. This allows for extra space for a wheelchair to make its way inside. They also work well as family restrooms when a parent needs to go in to assist a child. These stalls also include a grab bar that provides a way for people to pull themselves up to standing when they are not able to do so on their own.

On behalf of Harper & Peterson, P.L.L.C. posted in Injuries on Monday, January 23, 2017.
As we move into 2017, the political landscape across the country remains in turmoil. Last year experienced a tumultuous campaign that people on both sides of the aisle agree highlighted that a strong partisan rift exists in America. In fact, in naming "The Person of the Year" in 2016, the cover of Time Magazine indentified the country as the "Divided States Of America." It is no secret that partisan politics are often driven by special interests. The courts, on the other hand, are supposed to mete out justice without regard to partisan politics, special interest pressures and government oppression.


It's true — some rocks can float on water for years at a time. And now scientists know how they do it, and what causes them to eventually sink.
X-ray studies at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have helped scientists to solve this mystery by scanning inside samples of lightweight, glassy, and porous volcanic rocks known as pumice stones. The X-ray experiments were performed at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS), an X-ray source known as a synchrotron.
The surprisingly long-lived buoyancy of these rocks — which can form miles-long debris patches on the ocean known as pumice rafts that can travel for thousands of miles — can help scientists discover underwater volcano eruptions.
Some pumice stones have even been observed to "bob" in the laboratory — sinking during the evening and surfacing during the day.
They then used an X-ray imaging technique at the ALS known as microtomography to study concentrations of water and gas — in detail measured in microns, or thousandths of a millimeter — within preheated and room-temperature pumice samples.
Researchers found that the gas-trapping processes that are in play in the pumice stones relates to "surface tension," a chemical interaction between the water's surface and the air above it that acts like a thin skin — this allows some creatures, including insects and lizards, to actually walk on water.
The team also found that a mathematical formulation known as percolation theory, which helps to understand how a liquid enters a porous material, provides a good fit for the gas-trapping process in pumice. And gas diffusion — which describes how gas molecules seek areas of lower concentration — explains the eventual loss of these gases that causes the stones to sink.
The Advanced Light Source is a DOE Office of Science User Facility. This work was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation.


Despite the unseasonably mild weather there hadn't actually been too many great days for hillwalking recently. I would happily have foregone not having to scrape the car in the morning for some cold, crisp, still days instead of February temperatures more akin to Ankara than Arrochar and the accompanying low cloud and high winds. However, as I perused the Met Office forecast for the week ahead it seemed Wednesday, in the Cairngorms at least, was to be the exception. Still mild, but blue skies and only 10-20mph winds. Only issue was I was supposed to be working on Wednesday, fortunately I felt a slight…eh…ahem….'fever' coming on…Mountain Fever ! No need for a 'sickie' though, I had carried over a fair bit of annual leave from last year's entitlement and this looked like the perfect opportunity to call some of this in.
I had initially planned on heading North for a wee 'bike n hike' to tackle one or two of the many Cairngorms summits I still have outstanding but by Tuesday the MWIS forecast was suggesting that the whole country was likely to be bathed under blue skies. Fantastic. However, with the whole playground being open, I inadvertently found myself with the quandary of choosing where to go. As is often the case, I had to rein in my ambitions somewhat, mindful of the fact I would have to be back for the wee man getting out of school. Due to the distances and travel times involved in getting to a 'new' hill it was apparent that wherever I would end up heading would require another 'stupid o clock' start. I really fancied heading back to the Mamores but most of the Walkhighlands route options were 7-9 hour estimates, coupled with a 5 hour round trip of a drive, probably pushing things even if 99% of the time I do manage round at the lower estimate or quicker. In the end I plumped for the much closer Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhcraig, from Dalrigh, despite the dreaded and much despised bog at the start of the walk.
Ironically, it was 'the bog' that ultimately saw me have another change of heart (I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure !), and indeed saw me heading West to the Mamores after all. Turns out although I'm 43 I actually have the bladder of a 83 year old, and even the mere suggestion of caffeine after about dinner time will undoubtedly result in having to get up in the middle of the night for a pee. I headed off to bed on Tuesday night having loaded up the rucksack all ready for a quick getaway in the morning. The alarm was set for 05:30hrs but that coffee the wife 'grudgingly' made for me as we caught up with Sunday's episode of 'Baptiste', caught up with me at 03:15 in the bloody morning !! 'With adversity comes opportunity'…according to some fortune cookie I discovered down the back of the sofa many moons ago, and whilst in…ehh…mid-flow, I considered that I was effectively 'up' and could use these additional hours to get to and from Kinlochleven and still be home in time to avoid the 'son abandoned at school gates by selfish father' berating !
It may have been a ridiculous hour to be on the roads but the one massive plus point was I essentially had them all to myself. The only vehicles I encountered between Perth and Kinlochleven were two delivery lorries who both graciously let me pass them in true 'Smokey and the Bandit' style without so much as me having to change gear. The result was I found myself in the car park adjacent to St Paul's Church after only 1hr 45 mins.
There was a chill much more reminiscent of February weather we'd generally expect as I left the car and booted up and began to make my way up through the network of paths that eventually led me out to the open moorland. I was delighted that I had taken a screenshot of the Walkhighlands walk description as the opening few hundred metres involved numerous changes of direction to stay on the correct path. There was supposed to be an old zig-zagging stalkers path, which according to the description had been 'short-cutted' by a number of more direct routes. As I tentatively made my way through the pitch black forest I was basically confronted with a myriad of eroded paths, heading off in all directions. By the light of my head torch the original path was indistinguishable amongst the 'spaghetti junction' and jumping from path to path to try and stay on the general bearing towards the moor was really getting to be pasta joke. Soon the Penne dropped that whatever path you followed they eventually all seemed to end up joining up again further up the glen, something I'm sure would've been much more obvious in daylight. As it was all by myself, it was actually quite eerie and Cannelloni as I endured the initial trials and tribulations of navigating through the forest, however, these were soon forgotten as upon clearing the trees I was greeted with the fantastic sight of dawn creeping in over Glencoe. Behind me the much anticipated view back down Loch Leven was still in darkness and would have to wait for my return.
The path across the moor is well defined, if muddy in places, and soon leads you towards Loch Eilde before climbing around the southern flank of Sgurr Eilde Beag, marking the start of your ascent proper. The path climbs diagonally to the left before it turns to scree and becomes rocky and loose underfoot as it begins zig-zagging in an attempt to lessen the gradient up an otherwise extremely steep slope. It was on this zig-zag section that I almost met my untimely demise in a quite extraordinary fashion. I can only guess that as a result of the path and the wind that the ptarmigan I was about to disturb, did not hear my approach as I turned through another 90 degrees. The silence we were both enjoying prior to this moment was suddenly shattered by their distinctive warning cries and me screaming, quite frankly, like a hoard of terrified little girls, panicked by my sudden arrival they frantically tried to take flight. One of the evacuating birds was either very disorientated, or perhaps just an evil wee b&$@#!* as it ended up flying straight towards me and within inches of my face. Somewhat startled, I instinctively arched my back and face away from the incoming threat, of course this threw me off balance and it was only some comedic and very frenetic, 'arm windmilling' that prevented me from falling off the mountain and landing at the bottom with a delayed puff of white smoke ala Wile E coyote !! Of all the ways you could potentially die on a mountain that would have to be up there with the most embarassing....well not for me I guess, considering I'd be 'brown bread' and blissfully oblivious !
After taking a minute or so to compose myself after my encounter with one of the highland's most terrifying birds of prey (if ever there was a need for an 'embarassed face' emoji it is here lol) I regained my composure safe in the knowledge that I had in fact not, despite a genuine concern, soiled my new and rather dapper, if I say so myself, Rab walking breeks. Shortly afterwards I was again left stunned, this time by the astounding view before me rather than any near death experience. As I continued to climb, head down, on the relentless slopes I hadn't noticed that the adjacent Munro of Sgurr Eilde Mor and its funky shaped lochan had come into view, and simply WOW, what a view it was. As the gradient lessened I had looked up and was greeted with one of the most amazing sights I had had the pleasure of in a long time. The diffused rays of the newly risen sun had created an otherworldly, orangey hue around the mountain which left it looking simply magnificent. It is not often I regret not having spent the money on, or expending the effort, of carrying a fancy big camera up the hills with me but this was definitely one of those times. I took a load of pics on the phone, desperately hoping that one of them would somehow accurately capture the scene in front of me. I realised when I got home of course, that they never do, but what I did capture was still pretty spectacular, just try and imagine it looking 10 times better in real life !
Tearing myself away from the view I carried on up the grassy slopes to the minor summit of Sgurr Eilde Beag and its cairn marking a spot height of 956m. From here the route was clearly laid out before me. It was simply a matter of following the broad North West ridge until I reached another large cairn this time at a mighty 1062m, still no Munro bagged yet ! Not far to go though.
From the 1062m cairn you could very clearly see the ridges heading off to today's two Munros. Binnein Mor to the North and Na Gruagaichean to the South West. What you could also see was the first sight of Ben Nevis and the fabulous vista created by the summits of the Ring of Steall. It didn't look far to the first target of Binnein Mor, the highest summit in the Mamores. In fact, it only took 15 minutes to follow the ridge Northwards to the summit. There is a minor top on the way along with a slight drop to a bealach beyond but I hardly even noticed it such was the focus on the excellent looking short ridge walk ascending to the tiny summit. When I say tiny, I mean the area around the summit cairn not the impressive height of 1130m. As my granny would've said, "there was not enough room to swing a cat !". It had taken exactly 2 and a half hours to reach this point and in this time the sun had risen into a wonderful blue sky. The views in all directions were simply breath-taking. Perhaps the most surprising was to the North where you look down on the Munro of Binnein Beag which at not much over 900m looked ridiculously small from my vantage point. I doubt that'll be the sentiment when I have the opportunity to climb the wee fella. However, the stars of the show were undoubtedly the huge bulk of Big Ben to the NW and the Ring of Steall to the West. Both looked so close I felt I could shout out to anyone lucky enough to be on their summits. A preposterous notion you understand, not because of the actual distance, but more likely a case of what other nuggets would be atop a mountain at just after 8am on a Wednesday morning !! I could go on & on about the magnificent vistas but I'll let the pictures/video do the talking, however inferior to the real thing they may be.
Admiring one of the better sides of the Ben...and without doubt my best side !
Leaving the summit I retraced my steps back along the ridge to the 1062m cairn, all the while being treated to the excellent view of the second Munro of today and its connecting ridge. Na Gruagaichean might sound like something a Klingon would have for breakfast but there is no doubting that the view along the ridge to its summit was simply out of this world. It would have taken less than 20 mins to reach the second summit if I hadn't stopped for a bite eat on the sun drenched, grassy bealach just before the final ascent to the summit. The weather was simply glorious and here out of the little wind that was blowing, the temperature were more reminiscent of August than February. I was only wearing a thin baselayer and a softshell gilet and to be honest a t-shirt would've been a better option, incredible really. The grassy ridge makes way for a ridge of shattered rock for the final few hundred metres, the kind that are likely to snap a misplaced walking pole in an instant. At this point I should give a mention to wee Jamie from the work who answered my last minute mercy call for a loan of his walking poles. It appears that I must've left mine in Ben Vrackie's car park on the return from my most recent wander up there, either that or my garage was the victim of a very specific robbery ! Regular readers will know that having to splash out on new poles will come as a dagger to my heart, any recommendations welcome, however, given my legendary 'tightness', please remember that unless they come from China and are spelt Lekki the premium brand is well out of my budget....and my abilities to look after them properly, history would suggest !
Not wishing to risk snapping jamie's poles I stowed them away for the last wee scrambly bit up over the rocks to the summit cairn which was reached without the need for too much ascent from the bealach. Slightly smaller at 1056m this second Munro of the day still offered fantastic views, my favourite being the vistas South to Glencoe where the only remaining snow patches were desperately clinging on to the shaded crags of the hulking Bidean nam Bian. Again the views to Nevis and over the Ring of Steall were nothing short of fabulous. It felt as though I was pitched on top of the world and at that moment I really could not think of anywhere else I'd rather have been. This really was Scotland at its finest.
It was not even the length of half past nine when I took the decision that as always, all good things must come to an end, and it was time to head for home. The disappointment was somewhat lessened by the promise of spectacular views down the length of Loch Leven on my descent. Initially I headed along the South ridge before heading SW and then South again in a pretty direct route of the mountain. There was no path to follow as such and it was really just a case of picking a route down the grassy and boulder strewn slopes, quite steep in places, towards the Loch Eilde Mor track in the foot of the glen. It seemed like an eternity before I reached the track and it was with some relief that I eventually reached the gate in the deer fence, marking the beginning of a straightforward walkout towards the start point. By this point my right knee was killing me. I have long since extolled the virtues of the Kinesiology tape that was holding my left knee together and it was now irrefutable that my 'tape budget' would have to be doubled, this getting old malarkey is no fun ! I mentioned I'd been watching Baptiste at the start of this post and ironically enough I must have bared a remarkable resemblance to the French detective as my exaggerated limp propelled me slowly back towards the start point.
Eventually I hobbled my way to a footbridge that would return me to the correct side of the river to reach the car park, however, the thundering sound of the cascading water from the Grey mare's Tail, waterfall nearby proved irresistible and I set off down the track to find it. Turns out is is only a five minute walk to reach the gorge which has been fitted out with a few rudimental walkways (planks of wood !) allowing you to get as up close and personal as you wish. Quite an impressive sight, even if I doubt it was flowing at anywhere near full capacity given the recent dry weather. All that remained was to retrace my steps, cross the bridge and follow the path back towards the church. I quickly reached the car park and despite the assertions of my colleague who grew up in Kinlochleven (he warned me the locals would steal the sugar from my tea !!) I found my car exactly where I'd left it. Numbers 106 & 107 bagged on a quite fabulous morning in the Mamores...prompting another colleague of mine on seeing where I'd been to proclaim that there are few things better than spending the morning nestled between a fine pair of Mamories....indeed Norman, indeed !

But those dreams were defeated when the crew of the Black Dragon left them stranded on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia ...

Papertrey Ink is having their January Blog Hop today. The challenge is to use pink on your project and since I haven't made my Valentines yet today is the day.
I'm also taking the Online Card Class "Stenciled" and this is my card for day 1 of the class. I die cut the heart from the top white panel so that I would know where to sponge underneath. I used a blending tool to sponge Rose Red & Regal Rose inks on the SSS Peppermint Stripes stencil. I cut one heart from Rose Red & popped it up on dimensionals. The die cut ampersand is also on dimensionals. Lastly I embossed the sentiments to the side hearts using white embossing powder.
Well I'm off to do another project. Thanks for stopping by!
What a fun card!!! Love the layered hearts!!
so pretty!! love that heart!

Turkish, U.S. Officials Plan Meeting to Resolve Visa Feud
Published in Businessman
U.S. and Turkish officials will meet in the coming days to try to defuse a diplomatic crisis over Turkey's arrest of some U.S. citizens and local consular workers, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said. "Turkey-U.S. relations have passed numerous tests, and we can overcome such crises," Bozdag said in an interview with Haberturk television on Thursday. U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary Jonathan R. Cohen, who's in charge of European and Eurasian affairs, is expected to head the U.S. delegation to Turkey next week, NTV television said on its website, citing unidentified U.S. State Department officials. Bozdag's comments came after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told his Turkish counterpart of the Trump administration's "profound concern" about the detentions.
In a call, Tillerson "emphasized the importance of transparency in the accusations made by the Turkish government and the need for the Turkish government to present the evidence behind these accusations," the State Department said in a statement.
Visa Halt
U.S. missions in Turkey froze visa services after a second Turkish employee was detained last week. While Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan linked the arrest to last year's failed coup, U.S. Ambassador John Bass told reporters in Ankara on Wednesday that he had concluded it was due to work carried out on behalf of the American government. Erdogan has suggested Bass may have gone rogue, a claim rejected by U.S. officials.
"What we are going through with the U.S. is not a complicated problem, it could be solved in one day," Erdogan's spokesman Ibrahim Kalin told reporters in Istanbul on Thursday. "The U.S should respect legal processes, we are having difficulty in understanding this kind of excessive and meaningless reaction."
Relations between Turkey, a NATO member, and some Western countries soured after the attempted coup. Erdogan has accused U.S.-based Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen of organizing the attempted overthrow, and has become increasingly impatient with the U.S. for not turning him over.
In a purge that followed, about 110,000 people have been removed from state jobs; banks, businesses and media outlets were seized or shut down; and tens of thousands, including army officers, academics and journalists, remain in detention. Among them is an American pastor, Andrew Brunson, who has been held in a Turkish prison since October.
President Donald Trump and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence have called on Erdogan in private meetings to set Brunson free.
Turkey's benchmark Borsa Istanbul 100 index of stocks rose 2 percent in Istanbul, and has erased declines since the dispute first surfaced.

HILLARY'S VICTORY
Hillary won her delegate count today. The New York Times and the Washington Post are headlining the news above the fold. She made it, scarred, exposed, faulted by many for her hawkish ways. She limped over the finish line to the snarls of the Bernie faithful, the unenthusiastic flanks of progressives who have been dragging her to the left all through the primaries. She was jubilant, but she was hit hard and several times looked dazed by Sanders' attacks on her tenure as Secretary of State, as a senator, as a First Lady -- she erred often and always on the side of the generals, it would seem. He made her reel from his blows, and when he saw that full frontal attacks got his numbers up, he laid in like a skillful boxer, not a champion but a man who could stun his opponent and nearly win.
Others took note of the power of Bernie's message, from David Axelrod, who managed Obama's two successful campaigns, to the hacks on the far right who knew a good punch when they saw it. Hillary was as often in trouble on the trail as she was diligent about collecting super delegates for the upcoming convention, and didn't scare at the seeming unpredictability of her chances. If Sanders could hurt her, Trump threatened to eat away at her Blue State reserves. The press hinted that Trump's populist message might draw unhappy Democrats over to his side in the general election.
She ate the State Fair franks, kissed the babies, shook all those callused farmers' hands in Iowa and Nebraska, took selfies with hordes of admirers or just the curious who stood behind the rope lines. She kept her rigid smile pasted on her face to meet any and all contingencies while the cameras fired away, looking for the slightest chink in her political armor. No one threw a custard pie at her, or ripped her clothes; but she seemed ready for such an incident, with that Kabuki mask she wore in public. God knows what she did back in the limo or on the plane after a slog through the corn and wheat belts, but it must have required a stiff drink and some quiet time away from her staff.
Campaigns are cruel ordeals, meant to find every weakness in a candidate. If one should allow any lapse in self-control, the press was eager for it. It was better than scooping a shoot out in Chicago, a college campus rape, another terrorist threat. When a presidential candidate drops his or her guard, the wolves expose their fangs. We saw it all these past eight or ten months, with Ted Cruz flailing under the blows of Trump, and of Marco Rubio suddenly imploding after losing the Florida primary to his nemesis.
So Hillary slogged through, and her home-server emails were vetted by one Republican-led panel of the House after another, squandering millions hiring assistants, aides, professional analysts and finding little or nothing on which to indict her. But the massive industry of investigators and prosecutors was as busy as the press in trying to bore through her thick skin. The more she withdrew into her privacy on stage and in interviews, the more the House goons sharpened their knives and tried to find the snark hiding in her words. Close associates and underlings were subpoenaed and dragged through a gauntlet of hostile questioners, and somehow made it to the exit door without divulging damaging information.
I suspect her self-protection in this campaign was perfected as far back as the White House years when she was made to play the suffering wife of a serial womanizer; the press shined its blinding lights on her as often as on the perpetrator himself. She had the smile even then, the glassy-eyed stoicism, the terse, uninformative answers to loaded questions. She had on her imaginary bullet-proof vest and could take everything but a machine gun aimed at her. And during the impeachment proceedings, she saw the same hard faces and steely stares of Republicans eager to find her husband guilty of crimes and misdemeanors enough to oust him from the Oval Office.
If you can stay on your feet without dissolving into tears of frustration, you were living on reserves of pure iron. You could take the abuse, and even dish it back if needed. It wasn't expected of a woman, indeed, the very abstraction of woman reserved for the role of First Lady, but Hillary could stand under the unforgiving laser beams of the press and Congress and keep the smile. It was her political university to learn to do so -- to know the enemy for what it was and to figure out some kind of alabaster persona in order to survive and hold her husband together.
The ironies of the impeachment panel weren't lost on her. Henry Hyde pushed the hardest against Bill, and found his dalliance with Monica outrageous. It wasn't long after that Hyde's mistress and love child were discovered and that he had been supporting them for many years. When a reporter confronted him about his affair, Hyde said it was an indiscretion of his youth, but he was in his forties when the affair began.
Everyone in the television audience was spellbound by the formality, the somberness, the supposed authority of the men and women empaneled to try a president. Hillary stayed home waiting for the next knock on the door, the ouster, the life-long shame. But she toughed it out. And from it bore a certificate of indestructibility conferred upon her by a legion of political assailants. She could handle a campaign and did, twice, losing once to Obama, the more skillful and flexible competitor, and now this campaign, against a sometimes monotonous johnny-one-note on social inequality with whom she could contend with a more nuanced if less charismatic appeal to voters.
She had her battle plan, to harvest as many delegates as she could, while Bernie aroused the passions of the young and disillusioned. He forgot to woo the black vote, the important Latino segment of the population, while Hillary, with the shrewd advice of her husband, kept playing a more competitive game of Go and slowly surrounded Bernie and isolated him. It was neatly done, and she didn't give away any personal emotions about her strategy. She knew her enemies were gathered for the kill and wanted any chance to destroy her. She had Trump shouting at her the moment he sensed momentum in her campaign, and Bernie closing in with his own damaging strategies, and the press, eager as always to sense her vulnerability, poring over her emails and the testimony of the Benghazi consulate officers, those who thought they had the scoop on her. She lugged around a lot of mistakes, like her vote for the invasion of Iraq, her uncritical enthusiasm for Obama's free trade agreements. But others knew that Obama was crucial to winning over minorities, and no one else seemed to know that the minority vote would win you a presidential election.
What looked like a toneless campaign was slowly revealing itself to be a strategy to address a new America -- a democracy whose color was rapidly changing from white to brown. It was an America shifting perspectives on energy, on world trade, on grass-roots power bases that could eventually topple the Republican grip on Congress. It was an America whose very establishment leaders would have to accommodate the hated Otherness that had for two centuries suffered under an unacknowledged apartheid rooted in slavery and contempt for black and brown values and traditions. No one else thought to go around the country gathering up the sentiments of the dispossessed and offering to represent their views if she could win the White House. Not only was she running to be the first woman president, she was running to represent an America that whites feared and loathed, and would try with all their power and wealth to prevent.
The more Hillary laid bare her constituencies and her pivot to the plural nature of American democracy, the more Trump saw his own strategy as a voice for white anger and resentment, white fear of loss of privileges, white hatred. He carefully nurtured this side of America and perhaps went too far in attacking judges of Mexican descent, contemning Muslims of all stripes and conditions, demeaning women, the press, and heaping vitriol on Mexico and South Americans in general. Trump read his cards and decided that whites would ally with him in a general war against otherness fought at the voting polls. He wasn't counting on Hillary's carefully reasoned response to change and the rise of a new power base that would sweep the Republican "southern strategy" into the dust bin. Trump bet on it one more time, and Hillary saw the future and put down all her chips on it.


New release of PowerQuest's V2i Protector focuses on incremental disk-based backup.
Windows storage specialist PowerQuest Corp. this week released V2i Protector 2.0, focusing on incremental disk-based backup.
"We believe now it will challenge the more mature file-based backup" products, Chief Technology Officer Don Kleinschnitz said in a recent interview, in Phoenix.
The incremental features of the new version include backing up only the hard disk sectors that have changed since the prior backup; faster performance than the prior version, 1.1; and point-in-time recovery features, said officials of the Orem, Utah, company.
There is also a new graphical user interface and increased language support, they said.
Besides the incremental features, the new version also expands its connectivity. V2i Protector can now recognize any device that Windows itself can, such as storage connected by Firewire, Universal Serial Bus or even iSCSI, officials said.
Linux support will come next year, they said. For the current version, Windows 2003 is now supported, as is the older Windows NT. The prior 1.1 edition supported Windows 2000 and XP.
V2i Protector 2.0, which will ship June 19, starts at $995 per server and $79 per desktop, with volume pricing available.
