It wouldn't be hard to miss this attraction if you're taking the Galway riverwalk since it is just located where the Galway river meets the sea. This historical gem used to be the soldiers' home during medieval times.
Eyre Square remains to be the heart of Galway city. Popular among locals and tourists, Eye Square offers a playground for children and seasonal markets for adults.
You can also find a number of ornate fixtures in the park such as the Browne family mansion doorway and the Quincentennial fountain. The largest shopping mall in Galway City can also be found in Eyre Square.
Also known as "The Shore", The Claddagh used to be an ancient fishing village in the western part of Galway City. Today, the original village has been demolished and was replaced by council houses, a church, a school, and a community center.
However, the new face of the village did not erase its rich history and the legend of the Claddagh ring still remains alive today.
If you happen to be in Galway City during the summer season, one of the most interesting things to add in your itinerary is a visit to the Salmon Weir Bridge. Tourists and locals gather on this bridge to watch salmons spawn in the Corrib river.
Aside from this, you can also enjoy the sight of the Cathedral from the bridge.
After a satisfying course in the Quay Street Kitchen, why not grab a drink at Shop Street? The vivid and lively atmosphere of this place will entertain you and will make you grab for a few more Irish drinks.
You can try the different shops as you walk down the street or just window-shop if you prefer. There are also a lot of street performances so don't miss it by walking too fast. It pays to just blend in and enjoy a slow walk with a drink in your hand.

If you spot a busker on the street, feel free to stay a bit longer and enjoy good music. The buskers in this city are one of the most creative and artistic folks.
A slice of a gigantic pizza paired with a cold beer is perfect when accompanied with good live music. If you're craving for such experience while in Galway city, you might want to visit Monroe's Tavern.

I often feature a post about now on the new vegetable seed catalogs finding their way into my mailbox, but this year I've been thinking about how much I actually use those printed seed catalogs compared to the websites that just about every seed company maintains these days.
You could easily make an argument that seed catalogs are obsolete and unnecessary in this age of computers, the Internet, and with all the attention focused on going green and saving resources!
Where better to go greener than an industry like organic gardening where we are more aware of the environment and concerns such as saving rain forests, reducing pollution, and recycling.
One of my favorite heirloom seed sources; the Sustainable Seed Company has taken the unique position of not offering a printed catalog at all. In the interest of conservation and preserving resources they carry out their seed business via the Internet.
I have mixed feelings on the matter, I believe it's important to do all that we can to conserve resources, but I'm not totally opposed to printed seed catalogs. So far this winter I have received many catalogs from a variety of seed companies and nurseries.
Can a Seed Catalog ever be Considered Junk Mail to a Gardener?
Everyone from Burpee, Seeds of Change, Jung, Miller, Baker Creek, RH Shumway, Territorial, Johnny's, Fedco, Southern Exposure, Nourse, Pinetree, Nichols, Seed Savers, Comstock, Cooks Garden, Terroir, John Scheepers, Maine Potato, the Maine Potato Lady, Select Seeds, and more have sent a catalog in my direction.
A few of these seed catalogs came from companies that I haven't ordered anything from for years, and in some cases from companies that I can't ever recall placing an order with. Some seed companies automatically drop customers from their mailing list if there are no recent orders, but that doesn't seem to be a universal policy.
Other companies that I have ordered from do not necessarily follow up with a catalog mailing the next season. At the extreme end, are a few garden supply companies that seem to go wild and mail out catalogs just about every month in spite of maintaining an email contact list and a product website for their customers.
There are a few seed catalogs like the ones from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and Fedco that I would really miss, but in the majority of cases I rely on the company's web sites to select and order seeds and don't need or request a catalog.
Sure, I could do without even my favorite seed catalogs but Fedco and Baker Creek in particular contain huge seed inventories and are used as references that I can refer back to from time to time throughout the year.
I also have some old seed catalogs that I hold onto for sentimental reasons; like the black and white Seeds Blum catalog that I've kept tucked away for years. It was one of the first seed catalogs I discovered that was devoted to heirloom varieties and it is more like art work with all the line drawings and hand written notations. Seeds Blum is no longer around but their catalog still holds good memories!
Seed companies use their catalogs as sales aids, promotional material, and friendly reminders to their customers, but maybe it's time to create some sort of "Do Not Mail" list for gardeners who don't need a printed catalog and prefer to shop via the web. Regulars could simply be notified by email when the online listings have been updated to reflect the new season's offerings.
How about an opt-out web page that will quickly remove customers from the mailing list but keep them in the loop when it comes to email notifications, updates, and special offers? Postcards could be used to reach out to new customers, invite them to visit a website or order a catalog if preferred, and save paper, postage, and resources all at the same time.
Maybe a good policy would be to send printed seed catalogs only to customers that request them each year, and to discontinue mailing catalogs that are unsolicited or when a customer stops doing business with a company.
How Much do You Use Seed Catalogs that Arrive in the Mail?
I like and enjoy seed catalogs as much as any other gardener but I also realize that there are some that I really don't get much use out of. Guess I'll just contact the ones that I don't really use and ask to be removed, but it sure would be easier to process that request through their websites.
Do you still use seed catalogs, or do you rely more upon websites to browse and place your seed orders? Would you miss the printed seed catalogs if they stopped showing up? Have you received unsolicited seed catalogs or catalogs from companies that you don't regularly do business with? Please share your own comments, ideas, or suggestions related to the pros and cons of printing and mailing seed catalogs.
I stopped sprouting my own veggies years ago when the cost of seeds skyrocketed. I found a small local nursery (DeBaggio's) with a wild selection of gardener's delights and for the cost of a packet of seeds, I can buy the one or several plants I have space for, or try varieties I may have never heard of. Then I go to Southern States or even the grocery store for packets of leafy greens or root seeds. A few perishable seeds I buy online from Sustainable Seeds, to support their operations.
Most of the catalogues that arrive I may leaf through once and then toss into the recycle bin. There are fewer and fewer that I actually order from any more, finding what I need elsewhere or online.
But what would I lose in dreams and inspiration if these did not arrive in dead of winter? Could I still curl up by the window with a hot tea in a comfy chair and leaf through pages of bright colored pictures of perfect fruits, veggies and flowers? Like the newspaper at the breakfast table, there are comforts to having something tangible to leaf through, read and re-read.
Then I reach for the phone and make my call, and place my order. Later, I can return to those imaginary gardens so unlike my own.
But yes, most companies should delete us voluntarily if we do not order for, let's say, three years. We are sending a message they're not getting.
What a hot topic! I would really miss my seed catalogs if they came to disappear. I use them to discover new varieties, teach my daughter about vegetables (Baker Creek's catalog is a wonderful teaching material!) and for growing pointers (Seeds of Change and High Mowing seeds are great for that). I don't think there is a substitute for catalogs. A good compromise would be to feature some of the varieties on a catalog and refer to the website for more varieties.
I do my ordering online, but I like to choose my seeds by browsing the catalogs. I, too, would especially miss the Baker Creek catalog; I saved last year's catalog even though I received it too late to order from, just for the pictures!
Some of the catalogs I get I just toss, but looking through my seed catalogs each January, curled up in my favorite chair with a nice cup of tea is one of my winter rituals that I'm loathe to give up. Please don't make me do it! They bring a little bit of springtime to my otherwise dreary, gray weekends.
Hi Barb, I get lots of inspiration from the veggie seed catalogs also… sometimes too much when I order more seeds than I can fit into the garden come springtime!
Jimmy, I love the seed catalogs too, but sometimes for me it is a time saver to browse and order all at once while sitting at the computer vs. leafing through the catalog, making selections, and then actually placing an order.
Thanks for the feedback Estelle and I love all three of the seed catalogs that you mentioned!
Don't worry Elyse, I would never try to take that Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalog away from you!
I also order everything on-line now, but I would much rather turn physical pages than stare at a computer screen. But if I'm honest they probably don't inspire me to order anything that I wasn't already going to purchase.
I always end up ordering online, but I LOVE paging through the catalogues. I can spend hours going through catalogues, making lists, comparing prices and quantities, etc.
I would miss the catalogs. I use them to shop around, decide what I want, compare pricing and then I generally purchase online. The site of these catalogs as they arrive put a little spark in my heart telling me that Spring is coming and that the cold weather will soon be behind me for another year.
I wouldn't consider myself a new gardener and won't be at master gardener status for years to come. What I am though is greatly encouraged and enlightened by the catalogs I receive (especially in the thick of a Minnesota winter). As you mentioned in your post I still wonder myself how I ended up on some of these lists as I have never ordered a thing from most of the catalogs I receive. Yet they inspire me to get out of my comfort zone a little and to try something new. For pricier items I find that I may even be able to find them elsewhere, or later in the year when they are on discount whether a seed packet or a live plant. The valuable information contained in these catalogs is priceless and I am encouraged to research more online or at the library when something really peeks my interest that may work in my region. I agree with the last post by Barb Keeler though too. If I haven't ordered in say 2 to 3 years drop me from the list.
Hi Steve, I'm with you and get the same amount of inspiration in terms of which seeds I purchase no matter if I browse a catalog or shop on-line… they both motivate me to buy the seeds that I'm interested in.
Daedre, sometimes I'll spend too much time going through the catalogs and often find myself going through the same catalog several times before I'm done!
Hi Jane, the seed catalogs are great for warming the soul and helping to get us through those bleak weeks when the garden is covered with ice and snow.
That's a great point Tina, the printed catalogs do make it easy to do a little price comparison to see where you can get more value for your dollar. Something that's important as seed prices continue to rise.
I would miss the catalogs so much! As the previous poster said, deep in a Minnesota winter, they are one of the things that helps me get through it… I love reading carefully through each plant description. If I've grown that variety before, I enjoy seeing whether my experience matches the description, or I get to meet a new variety, or just jog my memory about a variety I've seen before but haven't tried yet. On a website, I'd have to click to a new screen to see each variety and I tend to only click on the ones I already am interested in. This winter, my 3-year-old son has started curling up with me as I page through the catalogs – he loves pointing at the different kinds of vegetables and announcing their identity (when he recognizes them from last year's garden), or asking me all about the unfamiliar ones. Finally, between the family and work I rarely have time to sit still at the computer; a printed catalog I can read on the bus coming home, or at the kitchen counter as I wait for dinner.
I so look forward to getting my catalogs in the mail in Jan & Feb. It's about the only thing that is exciting about the first two months of the year. My stack is right beside my bed so I can look at them & dream about all the different things I want to plant. I start to circle certain things and then by the end of Feb. I have most of my list done and I'm ready to go. I love my catalogs!!
I could be weaned off of catalogs pretty easily. I regularly buy seeds from some companies from which I've never received a catalog. I found them on the web, I look extensively through their offerings online, and I order online. I do enjoy looking at catalogs, and occasionally I find something in them I didn't notice on the company's website, but really — it's a matter of habit. I think we could learn to adjust to no or few catalogs.
That said, if seed companies wanted to mail me something brief with just their new offerings, that would be helpful. Even better: a webpage that's devoted only to what's new. I could more easily see what's new. I've been gardening for over 30 years, and I don't need to see every darned thing every year.
But entire catalogs every year of everything? Not necessary. And if we gardeners love the earth and all who live on her, I think we need to commit to some changes to save resources. I do give away paper catalogs when I teach classes on gardening — newer gardeners seem to appreciate them. But they could also be retrained to enjoy them online just as much!
Hello Meghan, I agree that the seed catalogs are much more flexible, convenient, and portable compared to being tied down at a computer. Then there's the issue that many of the seed company websites are really not user friendly when it comes to browsing. Some require way too many clicks to sort through and just aren't laid out in a manner that could streamline the whole process.
Stacey, may your garden this spring be as productive as your dreams after you finish going through that stack of catalogs!
Thanks for the feedback Debbie, my biggest complaint is with the catalogs that come unsolicited that I am really not interested in. That's a great idea to recycle old catalogs by sharing them with other gardeners at classes, workshops, club meetings, etc. They get to discover new seed sources and can decide whether to visit the company's site or request their own catalog in the future.
This is a great topic and I have also written a blog post related to it(http://bit.ly/g9MHi4).
Almost all of the people commenting have said they like ordering online and, at the same time, enjoy sitting down with paper catalogs. I certainly understand this. I feel the same way.
What many haven't considered is the impact that iPads and other cheaper tablets will have on catalogs. You can really enjoy reading a catalog on an iPad and the experience will get much better over time as seed companies make their online catalogs better.
I know that some people love paper catalogs the way they did getting a letter in the mail. I enjoy getting hand written mail (not bills) too, but I can't remember the last time I did.
That said, the costs of paper to the environment, as well as the dollars and cents costs of sending it via snail mail will be too much. Expect to see paper catalogs go the way of vinyl records, video tapes and getting your paper checks back from the bank.
That's an interesting idea Bill, it would be great to have iPads or tablets that could duplicate the experience of sitting down with a printed catalog. Maybe that will be the ultimate solution down the road.
I love my seed catalogs. They go many places with me, tucked in with my laptop and my knitting. My children and I have them dogeared within a week, exclaiming over the colors and the variety, carefully choosing what we're going to plant after several changes of mind,naturally. As much as I love my catalogs I'm certainly not sentimental when I say that I've never had the catalog suddenly lose my carefully crafted and saved list, charge my card twice; it's far less confusing for me to compare items in two catalogs than it is on two websites and no matter how poorly laid out and confusing a catalog is I can just write items of interest and the page numbers on the cover.
Lately I do my actual orders online but my children insist on filling out the order form still, and I think I'm going back to it myself.
Enjay you bring up a very good point about completing our orders on web sites. If all of us enjoy catalogs so much, we need to let the companies KNOW that we used their physical catalog as enticement to place our online order.
I suggest we all make a note in the "comments" box of our online orders thanking them for sending a paper catalog and encouraging them to continue printing them into the future.
I think a lot of people still love printed catalogs, that's why we still send them (neseed.com). It's much easier to flip pages to see if something catches your eye than to navigate page after page on a web site-no matter how good the navigation is. Plus with all the varieties available, navigation can get tricky and customers may miss varieties they might have liked. Right now, I think there is room for both.


When I started out on this writing journey, I never saw myself as someone who could a whole bunch of writing projects going at the same time. That kind of thing was reserved for some of the great prolific authors like Isaac Asimov, who was notorious for working on multiple projects on a regular basis. The man insisted on having a portable typewriter or two wherever he went. And if he couldn't get his hands on a typewriter, he'd pull out a pad of paper and a bunch of pencils/pens and wrote the old fashion way, long hand.
First I'd like to thank everyone who took advantage of my "Hobbit Birthday" party. Over 30 copies of "The Vampyre Blogs - Coming Home" were snatched up. While I would've loved to have seen triple digits, I'm not going to complain. The book got into more readers hands and that is always a good thing in my opinion. Hopefully, this will lead to some more reviews. Sadly, Nathan and company have been stuck in the single digits as far as reviews go on Amazon, with absolutely none on Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Smashwords.
So I'm going to offer everyone who is interested the opportunity to get a free copy of the book (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, PDF, even paperback) in exchange for a fair and honest review. Reviews are important to bringing a book to a wider audience. We all know that whenever we think about purchasing a book or almost anything these days, we check online to see what kind of rating the item has.

Many of our shows deferred to the Olympics and took the week off, but The Walking Dead stuck around and dominated.
For the second straight week, the AMC horror drama demolished prime-time Winter Games coverage to top every show on Sunday night, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Meanwhile, new series Intelligence and Being Human continue to struggle, though you'll find quite a few shows dropped this week. For now, we can at least partially blame the Olympics.
Beauty and the Beast slipped again this week after a boost last week, as the struggle for a season-three renewal continues.
Almost Human took another drop this week to tie its all-time low demo score. That's bad news for a show that was already in some trouble, but don't count it out yet.
Teen Wolf slipped a bit this week but still put up strong numbers for MTV.
Lost Girl took another small drop in viewers this week but held on to its demo score. It's definitely trending lower compared to past seasons, but it's not done yet.
Being Human picked up more viewers this week and held its demo score as it continued to be the strongest link in Syfy's Monday lineup.
Bitten lost more viewers this week but held its demo score. It's proving stronger than Lost Girl at this point, so that's good news, but there may be more room for improvement.
Being Human picked up more viewers this week and held its demo score as it continue to be the strongest link in Syfy's Monday lineup.
Intelligence took a drop across the board this week, keeping it on the brink. It's not guaranteed to be cancelled, but the hard drop it continues to suffer since its series premiere is a bad sign.
The Following took a drop in viewers and demo this week, but it still managed to lead its timeslot.
Dragons got another boost this week for another very strong episode.
Helix slipped this week to hit its lowest demo score ever, but as with all of these shows, we have to consider that it was facing Olympics coverage, so we'll see how it does when the Winter Games snow settles.
Atlantis got a very nice boost to its viewers for the season finale, and a second season is already on the way.
Sherlock got a nice boost across the board for its season-three finale. Now the long wait for season four begins.
The Walking Dead took a substantial drop from its mideason return, but the numbers were still dominant. Even with the drop, its demo score was the highest of any show all night, including the Olympics.

The Settle-Carlisle Railway
Paul Salveson
The line from Settle to Carlisle is one of the world's great rail journeys. It carves its way through the magnificent landscape of the Yorkshire Dales – where it becomes the highest main line in England – descending to Cumbria's lush green Eden Valley with its view of the Pennines and Lakeland fells. But the story of the line is even more enthralling.
From its earliest history the line fostered controversy: it probably should never have been built, arising from a political dispute between two of the largest and most powerful railway companies in the 1860s. Its construction, through some of the most wild and inhospitable terrain in England, was a Herculean task. Tragic accidents affected those who built, worked and travelled the line.
After surviving the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, the line faced almost certain closure in the 1980s, only to be saved by an unexpected last-minute reprieve. This book describes the history behind the inception and creation of the line; the challenges of constructing the 72-mile railway and its seventeen viaducts and fourteen tunnels; threat of closure in the mid-1980s and the campaign to save it, and finally, the line today and its future.

A: Use this code:
Scaffold.of(context).openDrawer();

Reference: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ScaffoldState/openDrawer.html

A: The recommended way is to call      Scaffold.of(context).openDrawer();
Sample Code:
drawer: const NavBar(), // Your nav bar here
appBar: AppBar(
          title: "Home".appBarText(),
          leading: Builder(builder: (context) {
            return IconButton(
              icon: const Icon(Icons.menu),
              onPressed: () {
                Scaffold.of(context).openDrawer();
              },
        );

National symbols of Pakistan facts for kids
The Minar-e-Pakistan
Pakistan has several official national symbols including a historic document, a flag, an emblem, an anthem, a memorial tower as well as several national heroes. The symbols were adopted at various stages in the existence of Pakistan and there are various rules and regulations governing their definition or use. The oldest symbol is the Lahore Resolution, adopted by the All India Muslim League on 23 March 1940, and which presented the formal demand for greater autonomy for Muslims in united India, and later led to the demand for a separate and independent 'Pakistan'. The Minar-e-Pakistan memorial tower which was built in 1968 on the site where the Lahore Resolution was passed. The national flag was adopted just before independence was achieved on 14 August 1947. The national anthem and the state emblem were each adopted in 1954. There are also several other symbols including the national animal, bird, flower and tree.

Cyberpunk 2077 for PC Download An RPG game set in an open world in a science fiction climate, based on the Cyberpunk paper story system. The production was developed by the CD Projekt RED studio, which became famous for the cult series about The Witcher. Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world action RPG game enriched with FPS elements. The Polish studio CD Projekt RED is responsible for its creation, which gained international fame thanks to the best-selling Witcher series. The title is based on the Cyberpunk 2020 license – a role-playing game created in 1990 by Mike Pondsmith.

Cyberpunk 2077 DownloadCyberpunk's 2077 action takes place in the title year 2077. However, this is not a vision of the future based on modern ideas, but rather dystopian retrofuturism straight from the 1980s. While the world is ruled by greedy megacorporations that control every aspect of citizens' lives, the underground is the kingdom of various gangs. In addition, thanks to technological progress, people can benefit from special implants and body modifications that increase their psychophysical capabilities. The game takes us to Night City, an American metropolis located in the north of the California coast, which can "boast" the highest crime rate in the entire United States. Although rich citizens living in the center of this multicultural melting pot enjoy life in luxury, they are only a fraction of society; the rest are doomed to misery or engaging in illegal activities. During the game, we play the role of V, a beginner mercenary (or mercenary) fighting for survival in brutal reality. The source of inspiration for the story told here was the noir cinema, and the direction in which the story will go depends on our decisions and actions.
Before starting the game in Cyberpunk 2077, we create our avatar, choosing its gender, deciding on the appearance (we are talking, among other things, about changing the hairstyle and modifying individual body parts and decorating them with tattoos), as well as deciding on the biography. The latter is important because it affects her character and affects some aspects of the adventure ahead of her. In addition, the wizard allows you to assign points to individual features that were taken from a paper original; we are talking about strength, endurance, reflection, technical skills, intelligence and the ability to keep cool in crisis situations, referred to as "cool". During the game, we observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). The title puts at our disposal a vast, open world, through which we move both on foot and behind the wheel of a car or motorcycle (while controlling the vehicle we can switch to a TPP camera). Night City consists of six districts: City Center (where the headquarters of the megacorporation is located), Westbrook (inhabited by the rich), Pacifica (dominated by gangs), Heywood (host Latinos), Watson (where immigrants found their new home) and Santo Domingo (supplying the metropolis with energy).
Download and play Cyberpunk 2077
In addition to exploration, the main element of the game is to perform tasks ordered by neutral characters. Many missions have a non-linear structure, and how we accomplish them depends on our individual preferences. Therefore, we can engage in open conflicts with encountered opponents (like in racial FPS), eliminate them by surprise and look for alternative ways to reach the goal (which can help hacking security skills) or even try to make risky arrangements so that it does not reach for strength solutions. Talking also plays an important role. The moments important for the story are presented in cutscenes, where we can see the protagonist in all its glory. In return for undertaken activities, we gain two types of experience points – while the implementation of story tasks results in receiving standard "pedeks" (after collecting the appropriate number of them, we advance to the next level), while carrying out side missions provides us with so-called "street cred" street cred), guaranteeing us access to new sellers, artisans and principals. As we progress, we develop our character by buying better skills and installing special implants that increase its combat potential.

Is Trump a Conservative Only by Accident?
By Alfie Kohn
Perhaps you've heard it said that Donald Trump is all about ego, not ideology. The reason many conservatives were so slow to warm up to him, on this view, is that they realized he's not really one of them. He is driven not by any political or philosophical principle but by his desperate need for attention and approval. Thus, as one columnist suggested hopefully after the election, he may "tilt in whatever direction, and toward whichever constituency, is the surest source of applause."
If that were literally true, if Trump were a demagnetized compass needle, then it is just by chance that he is in fact governing from the extreme right, that the American Conservative Union pronounced his cabinet "the most conservative of any Republican president." And instead of slashing funding for social needs and the environment in order to funnel an additional $54 billion to the military (even though the U.S. already spends more on soldiers and weaponry than the next seven or eight countries combined), he might just as well have done the reverse.
Merely to propose this scenario, though, is to expose its implausibility. And while the man's wealth may help to explain his animosity toward redistribution and regulation, it appears that something else is going on. That something else is his psychological profile. It does indeed affect the direction in which his needle points, but it is not politically neutral. Put differently, Trump's conservative beliefs don't simply exist alongside what many have described as his character disorder. Rather, those beliefs are determined by it — and therefore far from accidental.
It is true that before he ran for his very first public office — the presidency of the United States — Donald Trump showed no particular interest in various issues that matter to social conservatives. Indeed, he supported abortion rights and at one point identified as a Democrat. But the basic tilt to the right was already there in many other respects: his outspoken support for capital punishment, his attitudes about race, and his worshipful regard for power. More than a quarter-century ago, he was characteristically emphatic in declaring that he believes "very strongly in extreme military strength" and that he "wouldn't trust anyone…[including] our allies."
As I've argued elsewhere, Trump has an indiscriminate need to triumph over people and, indeed, to construe all relationships (between individuals or between groups) as adversarial. Life for him is not about succeeding but about doing so at someone else's expense. As a rule, such competitiveness simultaneously reflects and reinforces a fundamental distrust of others. People who need to come out on top are desperately trying to prove their own worth, but victories fail to slake that thirst. Competition exacerbates the insecurity that gave rise to it, so the more they win, the more they need to win.
For most people who fit this profile, struggles for dominance take place in corporate boardrooms or on playing fields. But when such an individual finds himself in politics, the psychological need may express itself in militarism and a preoccupation with law and order. Thus, it makes perfect sense that Trump has chosen to surround himself with generals (whom he has appointed even to nonmilitary posts) – and, incidentally, billionaires. When you fish in these pools, you don't catch many progressives.
"We have to start winning wars again," Trump said recently, to justify swelling the military budget. He gives the appearance, as one journalist put it, of being "fascinated with raw military might" — a fascination best viewed through a psychological lens. This is someone who needs to feel powerful, to humiliate those around him, to puff up his masculinity – which in turn helps to explain his view of women as prizes to be won, objects to be admired (primarily for their physical features) and even groped at will.
Trump's psychology also meshes perfectly with his commitment to nationalism, which is "different from isolationism" in that it "demands engagement but on ruthlessly competitive terms." This springs not only from his need to beat (indeed, humiliate) those he encounters but also from a deep-seated fear of the Other. Hence his need to demonize immigrants, to paint all Muslims as evil. The (racist) policies reflect the (pathological) psychology. The same man who is a self-described germaphobe – who says he feels "much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as much as possible" – talks endlessly of building a beautiful wall to keep out foreigners. This is a textbook case study almost too perfect to be true.
One of the defining characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, from which many observers believe Trump suffers, is an inability to empathize. This, of course, is consistent with his competitiveness, his need to defeat others, his taunting and bullying. He doesn't try to understand why someone might be criticizing his decisions or questioning his actions; he simply flies into a rage. This absence of empathy – as well as of sympathy and the capacity for what psychologists call "perspective taking" (the capacity to imagine others' points of view) — might help us to make sense of his willingness, indeed his enthusiasm, for cutting social welfare programs.
The general premise that certain personality features may underlie political positions is not new. A 2003 review of multiple studies — featuring 88 groups of subjects from a dozen countries — found that specific psychological characteristics were associated with political conservatism. Among them: an intolerance of uncertainty and ambiguity, anxiety about death and loss, and low scores on a well-studied attribute known as "openness to experience."
Another fascinating study even suggested that certain personality features observed in very young children predicted their political beliefs 20 years later. Preschool children who were described as "feeling easily victimized, easily offended, indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited, and relatively over-controlled and vulnerable" were more likely to be politically conservative at age 23.
If certain personality features are correlated with political views, then a more extreme psychological profile may be correlated with more extreme politics. Consider that the clearest examples of truly narcissistic heads of state tend to be dictators. Democracy, after all, involves checks and balances; it requires collaboration, compromise, consensus. The capacity to engage in such processes isn't merely outside of Trump's skill set; it's beyond what his psychological makeup allows. (It may not be coincidental that some of the additional billions he is proposing to add to the Pentagon's budget would come from programs devoted to diplomacy and foreign aid.)
A dangerous, self-reinforcing loop is created as other autocrats in the world recognize in him a kindred spirit and give him the approval he desperately needs. (Recent headline: "Authoritarian Leaders Greet Trump as One of Their Own.") By contrast, democratic heads of state are put off by his petulance and peremptory demands, and, since anything less than adulation makes him livid, he reacts the only way he can — with insults, taunts, vindictiveness.
In sum, it's not quite accurate to say that Trump is all about ego rather than political convictions. He has political convictions all right, but they're defined by his ego. That's why it's so important to understand how this man is damaged in order to understand the damage he can do.
