Parents quickly learn that new items for babies are expensive and find themselves collecting hand-me-downs from friends and family to save money, but some store-bought products are worth it. Babies spend a lot of time in high chairs, and a used high chair may not be as safe or comfortable as newer models.
High chairs are meant to be functional not fashionable, so focus on finding something durable, easy to clean and sturdy but flexible. These things are more important than a pretty design or unnecessary add-ons, so looking at mid-priced options will help you avoid flimsy and flashy items. Consider types, features and brands when selecting a high chair.
Harness: This is essential and keeps your baby from falling. A three-point harness is required for safety, but a five-point harness offers more protection. Make sure the harness is secure but adjustable and easy to use.
Wheels: Wheels are only necessary if you plan to use the chair in multiple locations around the house, and chairs with wheels should be lockable.
Trays: Trays might snap off or swing to the side, and some are suitable for dishwashers. An adjustable tray will be useful as your baby ages, but make sure the tray cannot be removed by force.
Crotch Post: This is another necessity and keeps the baby from standing or slipping, and posts should be durable and unmovable.
Baby Trend is a Canadian company that offers plastic high chairs with decorative, cushioned seats and wheels with breaks.
Fisher Price is a trusted name that produces anything children need, and they have a large selection of high chairs that vary in type and price.
BabyBjorn produces high-end, ergonomic chairs, and the Swedish designs are minimalistic and versatile.
Safety 1st puts a focus on childproofing items and has boosters and plastic high chairs available.
Safe chairs have a sticker showing they were tested and certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.
Watch out for small parts and rough edges.
Visit a store to see the chair you want even if you plan to buy it online. This allows you to test the features and see how sturdy and manageable the chair is.

Pair score the Lady Moles first ever competitive goals.
A match of mixed emotions for the Lady Moles - on the one hand scoring the first competitive goals for the club while on the other letting a 2-0 lead slip.
There were debuts for Dionne Hodges from the under 18s as well as Jess Nosal and Jodie Coston with all three making positive contributions to the match.
It was Loren Cardy though who opened the scoring after just 2 minutes with a trademark cool finish and Hodges made it 2-0 a few minutes later with one of the easiest finishes she'll ever have.
A goal kick found her on the 18 yard box and she coolly converted.
Woking pulled themselves together after that though pulling two back before half time and putting the game out of reach in the second half.
There were still chances for Binfield though with Ariesha Stephenson-Lewis striking the post and Connie Wilson unable to direct the rebound.
The match soured at the end with a confrontation between players but the learning curve for Binfield is steep and they will have to step up again on Sunday when they play a good Holyport side.

Activision Launches Mobile Social Gaming Platform
Tags: Activision, Blizzard, Mobile Gaming, mobile platform, social gaming, Ubisoft
Activision Blizzard has announced that it is creating its own mobile social gaming platform, Activate, which will be used by all the publisher's mobile titles from the beginning of next month.
Activate will be used in two soon-to-be-released iOS versions of Activision Blizzard's hugely popular Skylanders franchise, Skylanders: Lost Islands and Skylanders: Battlegrounds.
There are also plans to incorporate Activate into previously released games and all future titles.
Activision will now be competing against existing platforms such as Gree, DeNA's Mobage and Apple's Game Center.
Furthermore, Avtivision isn't the only major games publisher to create a mobile social network.
Electronic Arts already runs its Origin platform and has over 9 million registered mobile users. Ubisoft also runs a platform, but at present it is for PC only.
The new Activate platform will allow developers to incorporate friends lists, achievements, leaderboards, invites and cloud storage features into the games. The storage features will mean users can access their saved progress across multiple devices.
The platform will also allow users to login with Facebook accounts, however, users will need to register for an account if they want to use the online modes in Activate-supported games.

This itinerary is designed for established distance runners who are looking to explore the Italian Alps at their best. The trip is led by a fully qualified International Mountain Leader, with routes planned along rocky trails, through valleys and over mountain ridges and cols, offering incredible views across the Mont Blanc range and beyond.
Day one: Welcome to the Alps! Arrive at Geneva airport and take your transfer to Chamonix. No we're not joking - flying into Switzerland and transferring to France is the quickest way to access this part of Italy. You'll spend the night in legendary Chamonix, France, the alpine capital of the world, so make the most of your time in this historic mountain town. On the first evening, you'll meet your fellow runners and guides for the trip. Our team will brief everyone on the routes, weather conditions and requirements for the following days, and answer any questions.
Day two: After an early breakfast and final kit check, we'll catch a bus through the Mont-Blanc Tunnel to Courmayeur, Italy. Our route takes us through forests, between grassy pastures, over mountain trails and past crystal clear lakes, around 33km in total. We finish up in the pretty mountain town of La Thuille and feast on pizza or pasta before hitting the hay for a well-earned sleep. Insider tip - order extra pizza for your lunch tomorrow! Expected time on trails: 7-8 hours. Breakfast and dinner included.
Day three: After a hearty breakfast at our hotel, get ready to take on the trails for a second big day. We head straight up into the hills, gaining major altitude, trot along a stunning ridge line with breathtaking views on either side, up and over the Col de la Seigne on the French border, then down to our mountain refuge in Chapieux, around 27km in total. This is one of the best refuges in the alps, with as much food as you can eat, hot showers and comfy beds. If it's a clear night, make sure you sneak outside to gaze at the stars, with zero light pollution. Expected time on trails: 7-8 hours. Breakfast and dinner included.
Day four: We spend the day on the famous Tour du Mont Blanc route, heading back towards Chamonix, enjoying stunning, wide-open views of Mont Blanc in all her glory. We finish in the town of Les Contamines, around 25km in total, where we'll stretch out and reward ourselves with ice cream before taking the bus back to Chamonix. From here you can chose to take a transfer straight back to the airport, spend a final night in Chamonix and fly back the following day, or stay a little longer. Expected time on trails: 6 hours. Breakfast included.
The closest airport to Chamonix is Geneva, Switzerland. Flights are frequent and can be booked out of several UK airports with airlines that include, EasyJet, British Airways and Swiss Air.
Transfers from Geneva to Chamonix take just over one hour. For your convenience, we've teamed up with Chamonix Valley Transfers to offer you a well-priced and seamless service from Geneva to Chamonix. For rates and availability, click here.
We have chosen a centrally-located hotel for your stay in Chamonix Mont-Blanc and the following night in La Thuille. You will also spend 1 night in a fabulous, traditional, mountain refuge - a unique experience with potential for epic stargazing!

There was a recent post on AMMOLAND that is worth your reading "Building the Ultimate Ultra-Light AR-15 for Hunting and Survival" the author is a good friend of mine named Bill Mooney.
This company is owned by an engineer that is looking for new dealers and affiliates. He is working on a new version of the AR Pistol that seems to be the latest craze. If anyone is interested in getting involved on this ground floor opportunity let me know by private message.
I talked with Bill Mooney today and the said they had this rifle field tested with 5000 rounds run through it and it never had a failure or required cleaning (of course cleaning is a good idea but wasn't required).
This is a good read and I hope you will enjoy it.
Good read great rifle especially in 6.5 G!
Nice, a 5 pound build. The barrel he used is made near me, less than an hour south of me.
any guesses as to the final cost?
2'ish… for the base unit. When you factor in everything else the price can vary all over the board. One of the things Bill (the author) was trying to do is get the unit in people's hands. He sold some at dealer rates to instructors and they have turned around and resold them to students. Most of us are hard to impress and when firearms really make a huge technological leap it takes shooting one to be convinced.

Candles can be a soft light when the electricity in your house is out of order. Candles can be an important part of your relaxation and you must be familiar with candles for home decoration. There are so many things that you can do with candles especially to sweeten your room.
When you purchase the candles that will be placed in certain room of your house, pay attention to the theme. You better to have a fix plan what kind of candle that suit with your room style before go to a store. Do not forget to select the match holder because it will complete your decoration. Candles for home decoration cannot be put in random places. You can put it in dining table or coffee table to accompany your diner or relax time. You can also place it in bathroom to give a gentle light with aromatherapy smell.
You can make the candles to décor your party or special event, Christmas Eve for example, and you will be grateful to buy candles on the right time. Do not forget to put all your candles away from anything that flammable. It will be a nightmare if you find out that your house is on fire because of candles for home decoration.


The news today presents an article entitled "Labor Iraq Policy at risk as US considers downsizing Jordan base". The meat of the article is says US training bases in Jordan could be downsized or closed, endangering the Labor party's plan to pull Australian forced out of Iraq and send them to training Iraqi security forces in Jordan instead.
Unfortunately there are many complications in this policy anyway. Travelling to Jordan from Iraq is not as easy as it sounds with new Visa restrictions – even if it is to train to become a security guard More importantly there are already several hundred thousands Iraqi's displaced in Jordan; many of whom are there under expired visas.
I have a suggestion for Mr Rudd and I say this not as an opponent to his policy but merely as someone who truly wishes for a successful policy for easing the strain on the already stressed Middle East. Especially the Iraqis.
I believe some Australian forces should pull out in exchange for a humanitarian mission like those we have sent to our own neighbours, like Indonesia after the Tsunami for instance. But even these shouldn't go to to Iraq. They should go to Jordan to process and transfer displaced Iraqi's into secure living circumstances, where THEY can plan how to bring some political solutions to Iraq's problems.
This would also bring some relief to Jordan's over-worked immigration and policing ministries and to the dedicated UNHCR staff there. The mission could quite easily obtain UN approval and as such possibly get emergency workers for UNHCR brought to Jordan.
There are many low-risk jobs that need to be done. What we need is for the international community to step up and start taking responsibility for not preventing the US invasion in the first place, and the only way to do that is to become part of the solution to this huge problem.

As reported by Yahoo Sports Shams Charania, the Toronto Raptors will be signing Greg Monroe to what looks like an NBA veteran's minimum contract. It's a solid acquisition for a contending team looking for big man depth and it shows the Raptors are serious this time.
Last year Toronto finished with the second best overall regular season record in the NBA at 59 wins, but no one saw that coming and Raptors president Masai Ujiri should be included in that group. If he had, he'd of given his now former head coach Dwane Casey one or two more veterans to ease the pressure on a very young and inexperienced roster that, unfortunately, completely fell apart in the second round of the playoffs against a veteran Cleveland Cavaliers team.
The overachieving 2017-18 Raptors roster featured just five veterans in Kyle Lowry (11 seasons), DeMar DeRozan (8 seasons), Serge Ibaka (8 seasons), C.J. Miles (12 seasons), and a 25-year-old Jonas Valanciunas (5 seasons). The rest of the crew started the season with three years or less in the Association including 3 rookies and three players with barely a year under their belts and more G-League experience between them than NBA time. If the very inexperienced OG Anunoby, Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam and Jakob Poeltl, hadn't put up surprisingly strong seasons, it's unlikely there would have been anything noteworthy about last year.
It's been a summer of change in Toronto, in no small part because the 59 win regular season created expectations that were crushed in the playoffs. Casey was quickly fired, the long time face of the franchise DeRozan was traded and roster changes worthy of making the entire NBA community stand up take notice have happened. This year the Raptors have veteran depth to go with their young talent and that depth has been further bolstered by the addition of Greg Monroe.
The four returning vets from last year, Lowry, Ibaka, Miles and Valanciunas, have another year under their belts and Ujiri has added superstar Kawhi Leonard (7 seasons), Danny Green (9 seasons) and now Greg Monroe (8 seasons). That's seven proven veterans to go with two fourth year guards in Delon Wright and Norman Powell plus the breakout young guys Anunoby, Siakam and VanVleet. Depth, including experienced depth, isn't going to be an issue in October. There's 12 players who will be looking for minutes in new head coach Nick Nurse's rotation.
With the Monroe signing, the Raptors are getting very close to being $20 million into the league's luxury tax and that's not a place anyone anticipated Ujiri to ever get to, so it would not come as a surprise if the Raptors president has another move up his sleeve to reduce the burden. But, keeping this group together would send a strong signal that the Raptors are going all-in to land this franchise's first ever NBA Finals appearance.
However, unless Ujiri makes another move or two, Nurse is going to have some tough decisions coming out of training camp. One or even two of the veterans and/or quality young guys are going to find themselves in the limited role of an injury-replacement player this season.
A 2010 lottery pick, Monroe put up a 15.9 point, 10.2 rebound, 2.1 assist season with the Pistons in 2014-15 that snagged him a three-year $50 million contract from the Bucks that, unfortunately, he never really lived up to.
Historically, one of the issues with Monroe has been a fairly blunt response when his team wasn't living up to expectations. The big man has given off a fairly strong vibe that he believed he's better than his teammates in the past. Now maybe at 28-years-old he's matured. Maybe playing for three different teams last season after getting waived by the terrible Suns has helped him appreciate being in the NBA and just maybe being left hanging in free agency until August after a productive three month stint with the Celtics has put him in the right frame of mind to fill whatever role his coach assigns him to.
There should be no doubt Monroe can help a contending team, whether he's in the regular rotation or just filling in as an injury-replacement player. This is a solid signing by the Raptors that could keep this team on pace for yet another franchise record for regular season wins and might just bail them out if a big man gets hurt in the postseason.

Something tells me the Raptors are going to be really good this upcoming season. Along with Kawhi, I know Greg Monroe is going to help them tremendously.

Daft Punk's Remix Of "I Gotta Try You Girl" Is Getting A Record Store Day Release
In Celebration of Record Store Day, Daft Punk's unreleased remix of Junior Kimbrough's song will release just 3,000 copies.
tyler@magneticmag.com
Daft Punk's unreleased remix of Junior Kimbrough's 'I Gotta Try You Girl' is getting a limited vinyl release (3,000 copies) for next month's Record Store Day.
The Daft Punk edit came to prominence in 2013 when the French duo soundtracked Saint Laurent's spring and summer collection, with Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo editing Kimbrough's track into 15 minutes of moving blues.
The edit is very different than the electronic based music that the duo is known for, but it is still just as great.
Record Store Day takes place on April 16th. Learn more here: www.recordstoreday.com

Formació
L'ACM té una clara voluntat de servei cap als electes i tècnics del món local. Per aquest motiu, s'ofereix formació que permet fomentar la millora contínua a través de jornades, cursos, tallers i postgraus. En el cas de la formació per a electes, aquesta és desenvolupada per la Fundació Aula d'Alts Estudis Electes.

Accions formatives
L'Administració local està sotmesa a un constant canvi de normatives que afecten la tasca diària dels treballadors de l'administració. Aquest fet obliga a actualitzar els coneixements per a complementar les seves habilitats professionals.

Des de l'ACM es promou i es fa arribar la formació a tots els ajuntaments, consells comarcals i diputacions de Catalunya, donant resposta a les necessitats formatives. La formació té un paper fonamental que permet desenvolupar les competències professionals del personal que integra l'administració local i així millorar els serveis públics.

Pla Agrupat de formació
Amb la finalitat d'obtenir i gestionar eficaçment recursos per a la formació destinada als funcionaris i personal laboral dels ens locals, el 1996 es va constituir el Pla Agrupat, integrat per l'ACM i les Diputacions de Girona, Lleida i Tarragona, dins el marc d'AFEDAP (Acord de Formació pel treball de les Administracions Públiques) amb la col·laboració dels consells comarcals de la demarcació de Barcelona i les organitzacions sindicals Comissions Obreres (CCOO) i Unió General de Treballadors (UGT).

Central de compres
Un dels aspectes més importants que defineix l'ACM és la detecció de necessitats. Fruit d'aquesta detecció, l'ACM treballa per fer de central de compres pels ens locals. Així, es defineixen i executen alternatives i solucions perquè puguin ser una realitat per als ens locals. S'impulsa la compra agregada per als ens locals oferint un estalvi de tràmits administratius i millora econòmica dels serveis. A tall d'exemple, l'ACM duu a terme la compra agregada d'electricitat, gas o cotxes, entre d'altres.

Àmbits de treball
 Seguiment i anàlisi dels projectes normatius que afecten al món local.
 Impuls d'una central de compres pels ens locals de Catalunya.

L'ACM disposa també de dos butlletins electrònics per als associats. L'ACM 15 i l'ACM Express, són dos canals de comunicació que permeten aprofundir en aquells aspectes relacionats amb les novetats jurídiques que afecten a l'administració local.

Comunicació externa
La comunicació externa de l'ACM té com a pilar fonamental la pàgina web i les xarxes socials. A la finestra de l'Associació al món, es publiquen les notícies d'actualitat, informacions d'interès, prioritats d'agenda i informació institucional. És un espai on es pot trobar la informació relacionada amb el món local.

L'ACM també manté un constant contacte amb els mitjans de comunicació amb l'objectiu principal defensar el municipalisme i donar suport i dignificar socialment la tasca dels càrrecs electes i tècnics municipals.

Assessorament tècnic als departaments de premsa dels Ajuntaments
L'ACM posa a disposició dels ens locals associats assessorament tècnic a tots els departaments de comunicació per tal de fer més àgil i eficient la difusió de les informacions que afecten a l'ens local.

Àmbits sectorials
Els àmbits sectorials són l'espai de reflexió temàtic que permet el coneixement a fons dels temes que competen el món local. Els objectius bàsics dels àmbits sectorials són defensar i promoure el treball dels àmbits d'actuació del món local.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Democratic candidate for governor Mike Weinholtz said Tuesday that he supports raising Utah's income tax slightly to create more money for education, a move Republican Gov. Gary Herbert doesn't support.
Weinholtz, speaking at a candidate event at the University of Utah on Tuesday, said he supports a proposal to raise Utah's income tax by 7/8 of one percent, which would generate about $500 million extra per year. The proposal was put forward by Education First, a group of business executives that want to see the issue put on the ballot before voters.
Weinholtz said Utah's education is "chronically underfunded" and it leads to teacher turnover and shortages and teachers paying out-of-pocket for classroom supplies.
He pointed to Utah having the lowest per-pupil K-12 education funding in the country, spending about $6,500 per student, according to U.S. Census Bureau data from 2014, the most recent year available. More than 27 states and the District of Columbia spent more than $10,000 per student.
Herbert, who also spoke at Tuesday's candidate event, said he disagrees with proposed tax increase because it could hurt the economy and lead to job losses.
The governor said a better way to find more money for education is to grow the state's economy and keep it business friendly.
"You don't want to, in fact, kill the goose that's laying the golden egg," Herbert said.
He said the state's low taxes, including its flat 5 percent income tax rate, helps Utah attract businesses from places like California where income taxes are as high as 13.3 percent. Herbert said Utah also faces competition from two neighboring states, Nevada and Wyoming, which don't tax income.
Speaking to reporters afterward, Herbert would not swear off tax increases entirely, saying that sometimes, a tax increase is a needed trade-off.
Last year, he approved increases to Utah's gasoline tax and property tax, expected to generate about $150 million combined for transportation and schools.
When he first took office, Herbert said he would oppose any new tax increases but months into the job in early 2010, he found himself allowing a tobacco tax increase to become law without his signature after legislators made deep cuts to public education.
Herbert, has been in office since August 2009, is considered a heavy favorite to win the election as the GOP candidate in a state that hasn't picked a Democrat governor in three decades.
If he wins, he would have served as governor for about 11 ½ years by the time he would leave office in January 2021, becoming one of the state's longest serving governors.
Weinholtz is a wealthy former CEO of a medical staffing company who is making his first run for public office.


Paris: 7 November: As the total amount of exhibition space available around the world continues to grow, exhibition organisers have a more and more diverse choice of venues available in their target markets. Data released today by UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, shows that the number of venues offering more than 100,000 sqm of gross indoor exhibition space is the fastest growing segment, while the number of venues offering at least 5,000 sqm of gross exhibition space also continues to grow.
Venue capacity is an important element for the exhibition industry and the resulting economic development it generates. With the "World Map of Exhibition Venues", UFI regularly produces a global census of all exhibition venues with a minimum of 5,000 sqm of gross indoor exhibition space. Offering a preliminary view of the full report that will be available in December, UFI communicated on the consolidated results of the 2017 edition of the World Map, which highlights trends and developments in recent years.
Currently, there are 1,221 exhibition venues with a minimum of 5,000 sqm of gross exhibition space around the world and the total global venue space is 34.9 millionssqm, a 7.2% increase over the last 6 years. During this same period, the number of large venues offering more than 100,000 sqm of space has grown to 61, a staggering 27% increase in just 6 years. Due to a surge in venue projects in Asia/Pacific, driven primarily by China, there is now more venue space available in this region than in North America. That being said, Europe retains its global lead on available venue capacities with 45.4% of the global market share (down 2% compared to 2011), ahead of Asia/Pacific with 23.6% (up 3.3%) and North America with 23.4% (down 1%).


Suzanne and I have been friends for over 25 years, we first met when our husbands worked together and the four of us have remained good friends ever since. We both got married in the early 90's and then went on to have our first babies within months of each other.
As young mums, we shared an interest in crafting, particularly cross-stitch. We struggled to find designs that we liked and so in 2001 we started designing our own cross stitch patterns. We then decided to sell the patterns and so the Historical Sampler Company was born.
We set about designing our first collection of cross stitch designs. This took some time as, by this time, we had 5 small children around our feet! We took a brave step and with the help of lots family child care, we attended our first retail show at Olympia, London in the spring of 2002. To our surprise our designs were well received and we really enjoyed meeting new customers, some of which still buy from us today. The success of the Show spurred us on to continue with our designing. At that stage, we only had 7 designs but since then we have built our collection to over 150 including cross stitch and tapestry designs . The company has grown steadily since that time and we are now stocked in a large number of outlets around the World.
When we first started the Company we worked from a spare bedroom in my home but since then, as the business has expanded, we have moved into a beautiful wooden cabin which we work from. We are so lucky to work in such lovely accommodation surrounded by beautiful threads and fabrics.
At the outset, our aim was to produce a high quality product. We sourced the best fabric and thread we could find. We use Zweigart fabric for both our cross stitch and tapestry designs as we believe they product the best quality fabrics. We even have some of our fabrics specially dyed for us by Zweigart to achieve the vintage feel of our products. We supply in our cross stitch kits pre-sorted DMC threads and also include a gold plated needle and printed black and white chart. In our tapestry kits we provide a digitally colour printed Zweigart canvas, Anchor tapestry wool and a colour printed chart.
Originally our main aim was to create traditional Samplers based on original antique designs. We then started to include birth and wedding samplers in our range and from there have expanded to all areas of design. We gain our inspiration from popular images and keep up to date with current trends. We really hope you enjoy our range of designs.
This year we have launched a new product – subscription boxes. We have named this new venture Cotton and Twine. This is a monthly craft subscription box which will be filled with unique designs to stitch for your home together with carefully sourced craft accessories from around the World. We also include tasty treats to enjoy whilst you are crafting.
Please join us on facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with all our news. We love hearing from our customers so please feel free to interact with us and comment on our social media pages.

Appeals court rules against Trump in fight with Congress over president's accounting firm records

Congress can seek eight years of President Trump's business records from his accounting firm, a federal appeals court in Washington ruled Friday in one of several legal battles over access to the president's financial data.
In a 2-to-1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld Congress's broad investigative powers and rejected the president's bid to block lawmakers from subpoenaing the documents.
That three-judge panel's ruling is a significant victory for the Democratic-led House, but it will not result in the House obtaining Trump's tax returns — at least, not immediately.
The House agreed to hold off on enforcing the subpoenas while Trump's appeal is pending. Trump could keep it pending for weeks or months by appealing the case to the full D.C. Circuit.
The case is one of several clashes between the House and the Republican president over Trump's data that are expected to reach the Supreme Court. In this case, the judges ruled that Trump's arguments — that the subpoenas were invalid because Congress lacked a "legitimate legislative purpose" for them — were incorrect.
"Contrary to the President's arguments, the Committee possesses authority under both the House Rules and the Constitution to issue the subpoena, and Mazars must comply," Judges David S. Tatel and Patricia A. Millett wrote for the court. Both were appointed by Democratic presidents.
The president was appealing a lower court's decision that allowed the House Oversight Committee to move forward with its request for financial statements and audits prepared for Trump and his companies by the accounting firm Mazars USA.
Coming to Trump's defense: An unconventional lawyer for an unconventional president
The House sought these records months before the beginning of its recent impeachment inquiry, related to Trump's alleged efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
This case, instead, was prompted by testimony from Trump's former "fixer," attorney Michael Cohen, that Trump had exaggerated his wealth to seek loans.
Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) celebrated the appeals ruling. In a letter to fellow House Democrats, Pelosi called it "a major victory."
"This week, we have seen increased outside validation of our efforts to hold the President accountable and these statements speak to the heart of the Constitutional challenge that we face," Pelosi wrote.
The dissenting judge in Friday's ruling, Neomi Rao — appointed by Trump — said that if the House wants to investigate possible wrongdoing by the president, it should do so by invoking its constitutional impeachment powers, not its oversight powers.
"Throughout our history, Congress, the President, and the courts have insisted upon maintaining the separation between the legislative and impeachment powers of the House and recognized the gravity and accountability that follow impeachment," Rao said. "Allowing the Committee to issue this subpoena for legislative purposes would turn Congress into a roving inquisition over a co-equal branch of government."
Rao said Congress has the power to investigate private individuals. But, she said, that power did not extend to the president in the same way because the Constitution has created impeachment as a mechanism to investigate him.
Allowing Congress to act otherwise disrupts the Constitution's separation of powers, Rao said, permitting it "to expand its control over the other branches."
Steve Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas, said Rao's dissent seemed designed as a road map for conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
It eschewed Trump's wide-ranging rejection of congressional oversight in favor of a narrower argument: that the Constitution doesn't allow Congress to mix oversight and impeachment. It must do one or the other, Rao argued.
Vladeck said some conservative Supreme Court justices may adopt this view, allowing them to block the subpoena on narrower grounds and giving Trump what he wants without explicitly agreeing with his precedent-shattering arguments about presidential immunity.
"This is possibly the kind of case where the Supreme Court has often spoken with one voice," Vladeck said, referencing the unanimous ruling against President Richard M. Nixon in 1973, which forced Nixon to turn over evidence to a grand jury. "I think a dissent like this increases the odds that any decision from the Supreme Court is not going to be unanimous."
Trump's lawyers declined to say when — or if — they would appeal.
"While we are reviewing the court's lengthy decision, as well as Judge Rao's dissent, we continue to believe that this subpoena is not a legitimate exercise of Congress's legislative authority," said Jay Sekulow, one of Trump's private attorneys, in a statement. William Consovoy, the president's lawyer in the case, declined to comment on the ruling or the legal team's next steps.
As part of the appeals process, House Democrats agreed with the president's private legal team to suspend deadlines set by the subpoena for turning over the records while the court case is pending. The timeline allows the case to move swiftly by court standards and could set up a potential ruling from the Supreme Court in the midst of the presidential campaign.
A spokeswoman for Mazars said the firm stood by its previous statement about the case: Mazars USA will "respect the legal process and fully comply with its legal obligations."
Read the court opinion here
In the 66-page opinion written by Tatel, the majority found that the Mazars subpoena fit squarely in a long history of cases in which courts recognized Congress's broad authority to conduct its constitutional and legislative duties without interference from the other branches.
Like Congress had in the Teapot Dome and other presidential scandals, the House "Oversight Committee has expressed an interest in determining whether and how illegal conduct has occurred," Tatel wrote. "Even more so," he said, "the House has even put its legislation where its mouth is," passing one bill to address problems it is investigating and proposing others.
"Whether current financial disclosure laws are successfully eliciting the right information from the sitting President, occupant of the highest elected office in the land, is undoubtedly 'a matter of concern to the United States,' " Tatel said, citing a past court opinion. He added, "It is not at all suspicious that the Committee would focus an investigation into presidential financial disclosures on the accuracy and sufficiency of the sitting President's filings."
In a separate case in New York, the president is trying to block Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. (D) from subpoenaing Trump's tax records from the accounting firm. Vance is investigating hush-money payments made just before the 2016 election to two women who said they had affairs with Trump.
At the appeals court in Washington, Trump's attorneys argued that the subpoena was invalid without specific authorization from the full House and was an unconstitutional attempt to harass the president because it lacked a legitimate legislative purpose. The Justice Department echoed those arguments in a separate filing.
Appeals court challenges Trump's bid to block congressional subpoena to Mazars USA accounting firm
Douglas N. Letter, the House's general counsel, had said in court that Congress has a legitimate interest in investigating the president's possible conflicts of interest and potential misconduct. He noted the House subpoena followed committee testimony from Cohen that the president intentionally inflated and deflated the value of his assets to bankers and insurers for personal gain.
In the opinion Friday, the court disagreed with Trump's attorneys, who contended that the House subpoena served no legitimate legislative purpose because any financial disclosure laws unconstitutionally "'impinge on and hence interfere with the independence that is imperative" to the presidency.
Tatel and Millett said the proper question is whether any law for which the subpoena could be useful "prevents the Executive Branch from accomplishing its constitutionally assigned functions," to which they said the answer was no, citing other laws regarding presidential finances.
They noted federal law already requires presidents to report gifts they receive and bars them and other federal employees from using inside information to profit on stock trades. The same Constitution that directs the president to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" also prohibits him from receiving any "Emolument" from foreign governments without Congress's approval, as well as from the federal or state governments other than a fixed compensation "for his Services."
"If the President may accept no domestic emoluments and must seek Congress's permission before accepting any foreign emoluments, then surely a statute facilitating the disclosure of such payments lies within constitutional limits," they said.
Tatel and Miller said pointedly that while Rao said she based her dissent in the "text and structure of the Constitution" and "original meaning," she ignored "nearly a century of precedent" resolving disputes between Congress and the president while respecting "the co-equal status and roles of the legislative and executive branches," and protecting each's prerogatives.
The appeals court was reviewing an expedited decision from U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta, who pointed to decades of legal precedent upholding Congress's right to investigate. The circuit panel heard arguments in a rare July session, keeping the case on a fast track.
"It is simply not fathomable," Mehta wrote, "that a Constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a President for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct — past or present — even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry."
Judge rules against Trump in fight over president's financial records
In another ongoing case on appeal in New York in August, the president and his family are also trying to stop one of their largest lenders from complying with a congressional subpoena. The president has appealed a ruling in that case and contends that Deutsche Bank and Capital One should be barred from turning over years of financial records.

Postgraduate general practice training is an apprenticeship of learning to be a general practitioner by working as a general practitioner under supervision. During this apprenticeship, registrars learn the art, craft and ethics of their vocation, and how to apply clinical knowledge and skills in different contexts.
This article summarises how registrars learn, and the role of general practice supervisors and training practices in supporting their education.
General practice supervisors form educational alliances with registrars that provide the foundation for deep and broad learning. Overseeing patient safety requires supervisors to respond to registrars' queries and monitor them proactively. Registrars learn best in practices that include them in all their work and share their expertise. Specific issues raised by teams of part-time super-visors, and by rural and remote practice, are discussed. Finally, teaching practices are recommended to seek and implement feedback from registrars.
A general practice registrar thanked us for teaching her so much during her time at our practice. Her gratitude extended beyond her supervisors to the reception staff, practice nurse and manager, and other doctors who had not run formal teaching sessions. How had these other staff taught her without teaching?
Learning to be a general practitioner (GP) requires immersion in general practice. Background knowledge is essential, and practise in simulation centres can help, but an apprenticeship of learning to be a GP by being a GP is key.1 General practice supervisors and training practices affect general practice registrars' experience of this immersion in work. This article describes how they can positively influence registrars' learning.
What do registrars learn in practice?
Applying science to individual patients with consideration of their social, psychological and cultural contexts requires empathic negotiation, which is difficult to learn from didactic instruction. Effective supervisors know their registrars holistically and openly discuss with them how their own backgrounds and assumptions transfer into their work.9 They are able to unpack the factors that affect registrars' clinical decisions.
While the supervisor–registrar alliance is foundational,10 educational research on learning at work has found the importance of a 'community of practice' that has expertise.11,12 A single, enthusiastic clinical supervisor is not enough. General practice registrars who learn in practices that have non-hierarchical relationships among doctors and other staff, and where knowledge and experiences are shared, are better prepared for practice.13 Everyone in a practice has expertise to share and is teaching the general practice registrar, whether consciously or not.
Registrars learn from seeing experienced practitioners at work. This period of supervision is the last, most intensive and most appropriate place to learn the ethics and attitudes of their chosen vocation. How experienced GPs write notes, interact with staff, discuss patients and behave day to day are all educational opportunities. Even when we do not think we are teaching, registrars are learning from us, and are likely to perpetuate our behaviour through their careers.
Sitting in with GPs and other healthcare professionals to observe different consulting styles is expected in other countries14 and could be used more in Australia. In particular, international medical graduates new to Australian general practice will gain from seeing experienced GPs' scope of practice and skills.
A thorough orientation is a good investment that initiates the educational alliance. In our experience, the extra time to ensure registrars know the computer and local referral systems, practice protocols and team members increases their confidence and productivity later on. Orientation also means getting to know registrars, and their backgrounds, experience and learning needs. This establishes a symbiotic working relationship whereby learning is tailored to registrars, who in turn contribute their skills to the practice.
Protecting registrars from the pressure of seeing too many patients is important initially. Even relatively senior registrars need time to adapt to a new practice, especially if switching from or to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health service. Later on, increasing consultation rates is valuable preparation for vocational examinations and clinical work post-qualification.
Silence is not golden for general practice supervisors. If registrars are not asking questions, it can mean that they are either aware of what they do not know but are too afraid to ask, or they do not know what they do not know. Both situations need addressing non-confrontationally.
Increasing numbers of GPs are working part time, so supervision is provided by a team. One person needs to take responsibility as the main supervisor and facilitate regular communication within the supervision team. We often do this by email rather than face to face. Discussion focuses on registrars' strengths and areas for development or extra input. Because each supervisor is seeing the registrar for less time, it can take longer to identify problems or educational issues. We leave it up to the registrar to balance the content of the weekly teaching time to prevent duplication of topics by different supervisors.
Registrars are often the most senior learners within teaching practices. While giving registrars the chance to teach junior doctors or medical students helps their learning, it is important not to expect too much too soon. Registrars teach juniors in hospitals, but the consultant retains the clinical responsibility for patients under their care. In general practice, patients seen by registrars are rarely reviewed by supervisors, which is unusual in a training program. Registrars can teach students in tutorials or have students sitting in on consultations; however, they are not yet qualified as independent practitioners and are not capable of taking full clinical responsibility for students who see patients. Hence, supervisors need to check the notes and/or discuss each case with registrars if they are assigned students.
General practice in rural areas usually includes on-call responsibility for emergency care and hospital work. The degree of procedural work done by general practice registrars will be determined by a hospital privileging committee. Issues of supervision can be tricky if a registrar is fully qualified in a procedural skill but needs more supervision for office-based practice. Expectations regarding supervision when registrars are on call need clarification as there is a tension between giving registrars opportunities to learn and 'using' them as workforce.
Registrars on rural or remote rotations may be separated from loved ones or family, and have alternating fly-in, fly-out relationships with them and their patients. Guidelines that a GP should not see friends as patients can mean that they have either no friends or no patients.29 Registrar safety, wellbeing and navigating grey areas become central issues in supervision once registrars realise that previously taught absolutes regarding professionalism and boundaries are impractical.
What aspects of the practice stopped you from learning?
In summary, the apprenticeship model of learning how to be a GP by working as a GP is fundamental. One supervisor needs to take overall responsibility for planning and supporting learning within the practice, and for proactive and reactive supervision. Current evidence and educational theory focuses on a teaching team and learning in a community of practice. All staff in a teaching practice can positively influence registrars towards good practice, as our own registrar acknowledged.

Assisted Suicide, from a Medical Perspective
June 9th, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an assisted suicide bill into law.
"Signed by Gov. Jerry Brown and voted against by every elected Republican member of the state legislature, California's radical measure is part of an organized, nationwide, social-engineering campaign, heavily funded by big donors such as the leftist George Soros."
Dr. Dreisbach is the director of the Desert Hematology Oncology Medical Group at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. He writes about the medical community's response to assisted suicide bills in America.
Nationwide assisted suicide bills are sweeping our nation, California being the fifth state to legalize assisted suicide.
Dr. Dreisbach says medical professionals around the country are concerned about the drastic affect this will have on our society. In the article he writes,
"Killing is never medical care. There is no circumstance when any compassionate, competent physician would prescribe a deadly drug to any patient. If "medical practice" has any meaning, it definitely does not include using drugs to willfully kill a patient or for a physician and pharmacist to supply a lethal drug so that a patient can kill himself…The American Medical Association has spoken for all physicians by stating: "Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer, would be difficult or impossible to control, and would pose serious societal risks."
