Q: Client server architecture in RESTful web applications I will like some clarification about how client server architecture should work for a modern web app with a RESTful back-end.
In a web application, the client is the browser, the server is the web server. Programmatically, we have client-side code(view), server-side code(controller/model) and database. Is my understanding correct?
So now when client-side code sends a request to RESTful server-side code, server should return a JSON/XML object rather than just simple output, correct?
If client-side code is not allowed to use any server side code to reload the web page, then how will it parse the JSON/XML object back into the webpage? Using a javascript library that is loaded into the browser? Something like Ajax? What if we want to reload the whole webpage? Do we use javascript to do that?
Edit:
What if the web server in this case is separate from the back-end application server? Should the client-side code call the web server to rout to back-end or call the back-end server directly when it wants to call a RESTful service?

A: As said by Robert, Yes! you technically correct. Generally at RESTFul level we have various Providers for JSON parsing which flows from server to client with help of RESTFul annotations. And reloading the there are various JS libraries which as JSON as model.
Popular combination which I've been using is Backbone and RESTFul. Its quite simple and ready to go combination.
Please refer backbone+rest for basic understanding

A: Yes, you are correct.  There are all kinds of variations on the theme but this is the general concept of "single page web apps".  The webserver delivers a "plain" html page and a bunch of javascript.  The javascript calls restful services to get JSON (far easier to work with than XML in JS), parses that JSON, and then updates the HTML DOM accordingly.  If the javascript wants to reload the entire page for some reason (like in a window.onerror handler or when the user clicks a 'logout' button), it can do window.location.reload() or window.location=urlOfSomeOtherPage.
There are all sorts of open source JS libraries that streamline building such applications.  See Angular, Knockout, and Backbone (usually with Backbone.Marionette) as popular examples.

A: There is nothing in REST or HTTP that dictates what should be returned to the client (html, json, etc). That is up to the application you are building.
The web as it has been for the last 25 years is "RESTful". You are following good REST design if you are following HTTP design, since HTTP is a protocol that implements REST constraints. So you are being RESTful if you are thinking about resources and using the HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT etc) to change the state of a resource on the server, rather than thinking about resources as verbs to do something on the server.
What has happened recently is people have build web application APIs that return JSON rather than HTML and have called this "RESTful" (even if they aren't) so the idea that you have to return JSON to be RESTful has entered the general consciousness. But you can return HTML and still be RESTful, since REST doesn't care what the server returns. The content type is simply a representation of a resource. What format that is in up to you and the client based on the Content-Types you are supporting. REST is agnostic when it comes to content type. You can return a HTML version of a resource and a JSON version of a resource depending on what the client says it can accept (in the Accept header of the request).
If you just need HTML then just return HTML. Only build a "single page app" if you have an actual reason for doing that. Twitter does that because they don't want the user to have to refresh the page to see new tweets and they also want to have a JSON API independently to the website and the website just acts as a client to the API. So the twitter.com page just pulls data from the twitter API and uses that to redraw a small bit of the page using Javascript. This only works (and some argue it doesn't work) because 99% of your time you just have the single page open. You are not moving through the site exploring different links.
Anything more than this, if you have a site that has links to follow and explore, then doing it using JSON and JavaScript redrawing is re-inventing the wheel. Some companies forget this and take the redrawing with JavaScript to a silly extreme. They have really complicated "single page sites" that are really multiple page sites but they completely redraw the page using data from AJAX when you click a link.
It would be far easier to simply use the web browser to go to another link. Your browser is already a REST/HTTP client. Make sure you have a valid reason to implement another REST client in JavaScript inside your REST client.
The tl;dr version - REST doesn't care about the Content-Type you use and there is no requirement in REST to use JSON or to have a single page app. If you have a multipage site and all you are doing is pulling down data in JSON and using that data to redraw the HTML of the web page it is far better to just use use HTML and the capabilities of your browser. If you need to support clients other than web browsers you can produce a JSON version of your resource along side the HTML version of resource and leave it up to the client to decide which version it wants.

Latest Travel Advice for Greece
by Paul | Jul 7, 2015 | News
Greek Travel Advice A summary of the latest travel advice with regard to taking money on your holiday or vacation to Greece is contained below.
This advice on travelling to Greece relates to UK citizens but is broadly the same as other countries.
Remember; if you take large amounts of cash on your vacation to another country at a time of a national financial crisis the local and airport thieves will know about it. They know you will be carrying large amounts of cash with you as you travel and that you will be keeping money in your hotel room, villa, apartment or hostel when you go out.
Greece is a beautiful country however, many of the hotels do not follow the same star rating standards as other countries and fall below what might be normally expected, often they do not have a safe in the room, 24 hour reception or patrolling security. This situation can make you vulnerable to crime, so beware.
UK Foreign Office advice as follows;
The currency of Greece is the euro. When travelling outside of the UK, you should take more than one means of payment with you (cash, debit card, credit card).
Visitors to Greece should be aware of the possibility that banking services – including credit card processing and servicing of ATMs – throughout Greece could potentially become limited at short notice.
The government of Greece announced on 28 June an extended bank closure, until at least close of business on 6 July possibly ongoing. The Greek government is limiting withdrawals using cards issued by Greek banks to €60 per day.
At this time, you can continue to withdraw cash using your card as normal, up to the daily limit imposed by the Greek banking system (usually €600), or the daily limit imposed by your card issuer – whichever is the lower amount, as long as the ATM has been replenished.
The system for paying with debit and credit cards for retail transactions continues to function.
While banks are closed in Greece and some withdrawals are limited, make sure you take sufficient euros in cash to cover the duration of your stay, emergencies, unforeseen circumstances and any unexpected delays.
You should take appropriate security precautions against theft and scams. There are currently no restrictions on taking unspent euros out of Greece at the end of your stay.
The UK travel industry association ABTA also issued a statement which can be found by clicking on this link: Travel to Greece

Thailand getting tough on Jet Ski Hire Scams
by Paul | Aug 31, 2014 | Long Haul, News
New Thai Prime Minister clamping down on rogue Jet-Ski operators in Pattaya and Phuket after years of negative publicity.
Jet -Ski Scams have been highlighted by us before. At last it seems like somebody has taken notice and has decided to take action against the gangs that extort money from tourists on beaches particularly popular resorts like Pattaya and Phuket.
Prime Minister General Prayuth Chan-ocha wants action taken on rogue jet ski operators by provincial authorities.
He urged them to deal with the problem at seaside resorts such as Pattaya and Phuket.
The Jet- Ski extortionists reportedly knowingly allow tourists to use unsafe Jet- Skis and when accidents occur they demand exaggerated "compensation" payouts for "damage" caused to the Jet- Ski and sometimes they have even assaulted people or even robbed them of their belongings.
Some of the main Jet Ski Hire scams identified in Thailand were as follows;
– It needs to be determined if a machine was damaged due to a crash occurring because of its poor condition or because the rider was at fault.
– Tourists generally lack experience riding Jet- Skis.
– Operators sometimes charge full price for the hiring even though tourists return the Jet- Ski before the deadline.
– Some operators claim existing Jet-Ski damage has been caused by a customer and demand exaggerated compensation.
– Some tourists have lost or had their belongings stolen after leaving them in the safe keeping of the operators.
This year there have been 54 complaints lodged against Jet Ski operators – 44 of which ended in early financial settlements while the rest ended in court with civil lawsuits. It was reported that most victims were from India, China and Oman.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsPuoaktoAw&w=640&h=360]
Pattaya police now set guidelines relating to resolving claims including setting up a settlement room to help support fair negotiations, investigating suspect operators and requiring all Jet- Ski operators to be insured.
A police investigations team will also be set up to handle cases.
New zones for water sports to operate in the central, northern, and southern parts of the city's beaches will be set up so Jet-Ski operators could regulate themselves. If any zone had a problem, the whole zone would be closed for up to a week.
Officials would register 500 jet skis to ensure good standards.
While the new regulations will undoubtedly help the situation in the short term FCOL warns that initiatives such as these have been tried before and failed. Our advice is not to get involved with the Jet- Ski operators. If you absolutely must hire one make sure you record the condition of the Jet- Ski before you take it out.
Don't leave your belongings with the Jet- Ski operators and if there is a problem over the price or damage to the Jet- Ski report the matter to the Thai police and resolve the situation with their help and support.
Remember Jet- Ski operation is run by the Thai mafia…. it is organised and Jet- Ski operators back each other up. If you stand and argue on the beach you will not win!
Tip: Never ride a Jet- Ski under the influence of alcohol.
Dont be put off vacationing in Thailand this issue is really a minor one and being forewarned you should not find yourself a victim of this type of scam. Thailand is a fascinating holiday destination well worth a visit but as with so many destinations you need to pack your brain too!
Boeing Launches 787-10 Dreamliner
by Paul | Jun 23, 2013 | News
Boeing announced at the 2013 Paris Air Show that it has launched the 787-10 Dreamliner, the third member of the super-efficient 787 family.
Commitments for one hundred and two aircraft from five customers across Europe, Asia and North America provide a strong foundation to support development and production of the newest Dreamliner.
Customer launch commitments for the 787-10 include Air Lease Corporation, with thirty airplanes; GE Capital Aviation Services, with ten; International Airlines Group/British Airways, with twelve subject to shareholder approval; Singapore Airlines, with thirty and United Airlines, with twenty airplanes.
The new 787-10 will fly up to 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) — covering more than 90% of the world's twin-aisle routes — with seating for 300-330 passengers, depending on an airline's configuration choices. The second member of the family, the 787-9, is in final assembly in Everett, Wash., and is set to make its first flight later this year.
"The 787-10 Dreamliner will be the most-efficient jetliner in history. The airplane's operating economics are unmatched and it has all the incredible passenger-pleasing features that set the 787 family apart as truly special," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner. "The 787-10 is 25% more efficient than airplanes of its size today and more than 10% better than anything being offered by the competition for the future."
Design of the 787-10 has already started at Boeing, and international partners will be involved in detailed design in the months ahead. Final assembly and flight test of the 787-10 are set to begin in 2017, with first delivery targeted for 2018.
"Our ongoing investment in the 787 family is well-founded," said Conner. "With the 787-10, we've designed an exceptional airplane supported by an efficient and integrated production system that can meet increasing demands and create new opportunities for us. Our team and our customers are excited about growing the product line and expanding our presence with this family of airplanes."
The 787 family's unique interior offers passengers technologies that make their flights more enjoyable, including large, dimmable windows; cleaner air; higher humidity; lower cabin altitude; bigger stowage bins; soothing LED lighting and a smoother ride. The 787-10 will share a common type rating not only with the 787-8 and 787-9 but also with the popular Boeing 777, giving airlines additional flexibility in scheduling and training flight crews.
Dubai Airport To Re-vamp Terminal One In A Massive Makeover
Now that Dubai Airport's Emirates & Qantas all-Airbus A380 concourse A is open, attention is turning to the major upgrade for the older Terminal 1, located at the airport.
The extensive revamp is expected to be completed by the end of next year 2014.
Once it's finished, transit passengers can expect a brand new baggage system, more space in the departures hall, better signage, and a general facelift of the whole connections area.
If you're staying in Dubai, you'll emerge from the new baggage claim to reach an upgraded arrivals immigration hall, which the airport authority promises will "improve passenger flow and reduce processing times for arriving passengers".
After immigration, you'll find a "reconfigured and expanded arrivals hall" (fully air-conditioned) with new food options and shops.
And when it comes time to fly out, there will be a completely revamped set of check-in desks, "more efficient and streamlined baggage screening in the departures hall", and "modernisation of all public areas".
In the meantime, be sure to allow yourself extra time when transiting the terminal while it's under construction.

" MSNBC's 'Power' Outage: Chris Hayes' Climate Change Documentary STILL Unavailable Online	"
MSNBC's 'Power' Outage: Chris Hayes' Climate Change Documentary STILL Unavailable Online
The curious blackout of the cable net's one-hour 'Politics of Power' special...
By D.R. Tucker on 8/29/2013, 10:05am PT
If you missed the MSNBC/Chris Hayes documentary The Politics of Power on August 16, you may never have the chance to see it again in its entirety.
Sure, you can watch the final fifty-nine seconds of the documentary on MSNBC.com, and a four-minute clip from the program, plus a few "web extras". But, for some reason, the rest of the special --- a rare hour-long cable news documentary on the climate crisis and its fossil fuel industry-funded deniers --- has yet to be posted online. Anywhere. At least anywhere that we were able to find.
The BRAD BLOG has made repeated inquires to MSNBC, as well as to Chris Hayes and whoever monitors All In's Twitter feed, as to why the documentary, which aired during Hayes' normal All in With Chris Hayes time slot, has not been made available in full online. That, despite the fact that Rachel Maddow's documentary, Hubris: Selling the Iraq War, was posted on MSNBC.com almost immediately after it first aired on February 18, 2013. As of this writing, we have yet to receive a response from MSNBC or Hayes or All In as to whether or when the doc might be made available online, or why it hasn't been so far.
Now, why would that be?...
A week or so after it aired, we were able to find a transcript of the August 16 documentary posted online. Reading through it, one can appreciate why the piece received high praise from former Vice President Al Gore --- and why certain entities might not be happy with the prospect of the video being widely available and, who knows, maybe even going viral.
Consider these remarks from the film's transcript [emphasis added]:
HAYES: What once seemed science fiction in the film "The Day After Tomorrow", now, almost a decade later, is closer to reality. It's the dangerous formula of fossil fuel economy and climate change continues to play out.
For the next hour, we'll show that climate change is happening, and the root of the problem is our dependence on fossil fuels. The story of our energy use is fascinating, where we get it, what type it is, and how much we use. And that needs to change.
HAYES: "Bloomberg Businessweek" magazine puts it even more bluntly, across the globe, a disturbing statistic. Carbon emissions from the consumption of energy are up 48 percent since 1992.
We`ve heard it many times before, but it bears repeating, because some people still don`t get it. When coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to create energy, the process pumps carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere. They don't dissipate. They stay there, creating a sort of blanket that traps heat in.
If the heat stays in, the planet gets warmer. If the planet gets warmer, the ice caps melt. If the ice caps melt, they can no longer reflect the sun's rays. That means the rays are absorbed by the dark water. Warmer water means the seas expand, rise, and fuel super storms, like Sandy.
HAYES: Not surprisingly, some of the funding for climate change denial comes from the very industry with the most to lose, fossil fuel companies. One of the largest financial backers of the climate denial movement was ExxonMobil. Its annual reports show that from 1998 to 2007, ExxonMobil gave millions of dollars to organizations that cast doubt on the scientific validity of climate change.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s obvious why they want climate change not to be true. As long as climate change is not true, then we can keep selling coal, natural gas, and oil. So, remove the cause and your business is preserved.
HAYES: In 2008, ExxonMobil announced they would discontinue contributions to groups that could, quote, "divert attention in the important discussions on how the world will secure the energy required for economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner. In fact, ExxonMobil is funding research devoted to mitigating the increase in greenhouse gases.
Yet there remain numerous deep-pocketed billionaires and corporations still supporting climate change denial.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s really disheartening, as a climate scientist to hear the misrepresentation of the science. And reminds me of what happened with tobacco.
HAYES: In 1994, they said their product was not addictive, despite the evidence proving the opposite.
JOSEPH TADDEO, U.S. TOBACCO: I don't believe that nicotine or our products are addictive.
ANDREW TISCH, LORILLARD TOBACCO: I believe that nicotine is not addictive.
EDWARD HORRIGAN, LIGGETT GROUP: I believe that nicotine is not addictive.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The cigarette industry created 50 years of pseudo science to convince legislators, regulators and smokers that smoking was not harmful. Is the fossil fuel industry now paying for pseudo science to convince policymakers they're not to blame for climate change? Of course they are.
MORGAN: There is a window of time where we need to act, and once you go past that window, if the emissions keep going up, you lose the Arctic. I have to hope that people think about how they're going to protect their homes, their families, their kids, and get down to business, because we don`t have that much time.
HAYES: It's hard to believe, but just 50 years ago, an oil company ran an ad, actually boasting that each day it sold enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glaciers. Today, those melting glaciers and arctic ice no longer symbolize economic progress, but are the proverbial canary in the coal mine of climate change.
But why are we in this situation to begin with, and what`s keeping us from taking the necessary option to solve it?
It turns out the politics of power is really about the politics of fossil fuels.
HAYES (voice-over): In the United States, 80 percent of our energy comes from fossil fuels --- coal, oil, natural gas. And which one do we use the most? Oil.
In 2012, we used almost 7 billion barrels of oil to fuel nearly all of our transportation, provide half of our industrial energy needs, and make chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials found in nearly everything we use today. In fact, the U.S. is the world`s top energy consumer, and much of it is imported, often from volatile nations.
Not the sort of thing that might give comfort to the fossil fuel companies that advertise --- a lot --- on MSNBC and MSNBC.com.
To be fair, MSNBC.com did post a series of so-called "web extras" related to the documentary, including extended interviews with former EPA Administrator Carol Browner, as well as author Steve Coll and solar-energy entrepreneur Jigar Shah. There's also a nice bit about energy efficiency at One World Trade Center, the tower being built at the site of the World Trade Center. Yet, the entire documentary --- easier to take in via video, for those not inclined to plow through text transcripts --- remains missing in action nearly two weeks since its only airing.
What does Hayes think of MSNBC.com's, shall we say, tardiness in posting the full documentary, particularly after the cable net was so quick to post's Maddow's much-lauded Iraq documentary? We don't know. As mentioned, he has yet to reply to our queries.
Hayes did respond, the very next day after it was posted, to an outstanding piece by Boston Phoenix alum and current Nation magazine contributor Wen Stephenson (Hayes remains "Editor-at-Large" at the magazine) about the need to place greater emphasis on both climate science and political science. But he has, perhaps understandably, not weighed in on why MSNBC.com is taking so long to allow the rest of the world to see the film.
The transcript indicates that The Politics of Power went further than usual (by corporate-media standards) in pointing to the root cause of the climate crisis: the burning of fossil fuels, and the power of the fossil-fuel industry to stymie legislative and executive action to reduce carbon emissions. It was, we concede, a courageous decision to air the piece in the first place. However, those who weren't able to watch on August 16 appear pretty much out of luck. Rightly or wrongly, observers might well conclude that MSNBC has invoked the first commandment of corporate media: Thou shalt not offend advertisers.
You may recall that in 2007, Michael Moore pointed out the role pharmaceutical advertising plays in inducing corporate media to avoid serious discussion of the problems facing the American health-care system. The same could be said for Big Oil's heavy advertising, and the role it clearly plays in inducing corporate media to avoid serious discussion of the climate crisis. Is it really too far-fetched to suggest that MSNBC.com might have made the call not to post the full documentary online, so as to avoid any (further?) backlash from the fossil fuel companies that advertise so heavily on MSNBC and MSNBC.com?
Granted, the newly launched Al Jazeera America is also keeping its widely praised climate coverage offline. In fact, they're keeping all of their coverage offline, as noted by environmental reporter Todd Woody:
The downside is that many US residents won't see that coverage. A little under half the country's 100 million homes will be able to get Al Jazeera America through their cable providers, and in order to win deals with those carriers, the network has blocked Americans from viewing its internet stream or videos on YouTube.
That's a legitimate explanation. Or, at least it's an explanation, which is more than we've been able to spark from MSNBC to date as to why The Politics of Power is seemingly being blacked out.

The MSM has been controlled by the big money advertisers for a long time. It's not so much that they lie but that they prevent the truth from being known. The only institution granted special status in the US Constitution is that extended to the press (news media). The reasoning was that a democracy required an informed public to succeed. They have violated that trust
... Dredd	said on 8/29/2013 @ 4:57 pm PT...
One likely scenario is that Oil-Qaeda called and said they had a big advertising campaign planned, doubling their current advertising budget on MSNBC.
If that documentary disappeared.
If not, they were cutting their advertising to zero.
And maybe a lawsuit.
Just sayin' ...

Something to consider,
I also noticed that Rachel Maddow's documentary, Hubris, was available online pretty soon after it aired. However, about a week later it was taken off line. This was around the time that they announced that they were going to re-air it again in a few weeks due to its popularity. After the re-airing, it was back online again.
Perhaps MSNBC is anticipating re-running the The Politics of Power and, like Hubris, wants to garner a larger audience to tune in.

The wealthiest among us are certain they will survive by far the longest so why worry if a few billion humans die due to increased carbon pollution. Possibly someone will innovate a means of mitigating the harm before the remaining over-privileged die off as humanity self extincts.

There is a big push in Colorado by the Koch boys to de-regulate fracking more, and secret bidding on Federal leases...they are pouring money in to tv, and at the same time BP is touting its safety record and how it has cleaned up the Gulf...What IS the solution to all the foul smelling lies coming from DC and the puppets?

Honestly, once they got rid of Keith there has not really been any appetite for investigative journalism on MSNBC.
After the dumped Keith, Rachel never did another story that would count as controversial or muck raking.
Neither will Chris Hayes.
... Mannapat	said on 9/2/2013 @ 6:27 pm PT...
I had it all set to record, but my husband overroad it with 2 baseball games! I wasn't happy, but figured I'd pick it up next time it aired...and it didn't. I'll be letting him know about that!
... Jeff	said on 9/3/2013 @ 8:43 pm PT...
I missed the documentary, and was hoping I could catch it. Should've known the powers that be wouldn't allow others to see it. The oil lobbyists, coal barons, and frackers hate when people expose the truth. And with those advertisers pulling the purse strings, well...It was just like citizen Koch being pulled from PBS.
They just don't want us to know the truth, because the truth puts them out of business.

Maybe if Anonymous took over their home page for a few hours it would get them to at least explain why it isnt up. Hey, Anonymous are you out there???


Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health conditions, and in any given year, about 10% of adults aged 65 and older experience a diagnosable anxiety disorder (Byers, Yaffe, Covinsky, Friedman, & Bruce, 2010). Over their lifetimes, about 15% of those who survive past the age of 65 will have had an anxiety disorder (Kessler, Berglund, Demler, Jin, Merikangas, & Walters, 2005).
Until recently, research on anxiety disorders among older adults was limited by a lack of information because many of these disorders have gone undetected and untreated. However, the pace of research has been accelerating, and there are some effective interventions now available.
While the state of anxiety—an experience of tension and apprehension—is an ordinary response to a threat or danger, excessive anxiety that causes distress or interferes with daily life is not a normal part of the aging process.
In general, older adults with anxiety disorders experience more difficulties managing their day-to-day lives than older adults with normal worries, and they are at greater risk of physical illness, falls, depression, disability, premature mortality, social isolation, and placement in institutions (Wolitzky-Taylor, Castriotta, Lenze, Stanley, & Craske, 2010).
The prevalence of anxiety disorders increases among older adults who have physical illnesses, particularly those in need of home health care or who live in residential care settings such as nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, or homes for the aged (Gellis, 2009).
Many people are surprised to learn that older adults are less likely to experience anxiety disorders (or depression) than are younger adults, but people who live into old age generally have developed strengths and coping skills that enable them to experience fewer negative emotional reactions, tolerate life's ups and downs, and deal effectively with crises such as large-scale disasters (Wolitzky-Taylor et al).
Anxiety disorders frequently co-occur with other mental health conditions, especially depression. Substance misuse or abuse likewise is common among individuals with anxiety disorders. Anxiety, alone or in combination with depression, also frequently co-occurs with physical disorders that become more prevalent with aging, such as cardiac conditions, respiratory problems, and balance problems. The co-occurrence of anxiety disorders and physical diseases considerably raises the risk of poor physical outcomes (Wolitzky-Taylor et al).
People with mild cognitive decline or dementia frequently experience anxiety and depression. Distinguishing between symptoms of anxiety and depression, such as difficulties with concentration and decision making, and cognitive decline due to dementia can be difficult (Wolitzky-Taylor et al). In fact, some researchers maintain that neuropsychiatric symptoms are inherent in dementia rather than the reflection of a separate co-occurring disorder (Lyketsos, Lopez, Jones, Fitzpatrick, Breitner, & DeKosky, 2002).
Anxiety disorders are not easy to identify because they often are exacerbations of normal worries or long-term personality traits. Older adults frequently experience anxiety symptoms as physical problems, such as headaches, gastrointestinal distress, and fatigue. As noted above, anxiety disorders often co-occur with other disorders that produce symptoms similar to anxiety. These issues pose significant detection and diagnostic challenges.
• Physical complaints: Since older adults are more likely to report physical causes of anxiety symptoms and experience medical conditions with overlapping symptoms, asking about physical complaints such as chest pain and shortness of breath is critical.
• Eating: People who are anxious may overeat to calm themselves and subsequently gain weight or they may skip meals and lose weight.
• Sleeping: People who are anxious may sleep to avoid their fears or stay awake ruminating about imagined or exaggerated dangers or trying to avoid bad dreams.
• Interests: People who are anxious tend to find fewer activities pleasurable as they become more fearful.
• Going out: Often people who are anxious stay at home to avoid their fears.
• Use of alcohol and other substances (legal or illegal): Substance use, misuse, or abuse can help people with anxiety disorders feel less frightened, though often at the cost of full function.
• Social isolation: This is a major sign of anxiety and/or depressive disorders. It does not mean living alone; it means being largely cut off from the outside world. Many people who live alone have friends, go out, and have active interests. People who are socially isolated may have lost their relationships with family and friends, do almost nothing that gives them pleasure, and may not leave their homes except for doctors' visits or to buy groceries. Some people are isolated because of physical problems, but many people are isolated because they are too depressed or frightened to leave their homes. Frequently, they are caught in a vicious cycle. Social contact and activity would lift their spirits and calm their fears, but they are too anxious and/or depressed to do what would help them most. They then become increasingly anxious and/or depressed because of their isolation. Breaking the cycle of isolation is exceedingly difficult and often requires persistent outreach and great patience (Brennan, Vega, Garcia, Abad, & Friedman, 2005).
For some older adults with anxiety disorders, a relationship with a caring person who directly addresses isolation and inactivity can be helpful. This can be a family member, friend, social worker at an older adult center, clergyman or chaplain, or others. Engaging people with anxiety in social, creative, or other activities they find interesting also can be helpful.
Helping older adults manage matters that may be a source of anxiety, such as dealing with health issues, financial matters, and concerns about being a burden to others, can make a big difference. In addition, spiritual experiences can benefit many older adults who believe in God or some transcendental reality. Some elders find that meditation eases their anxiety.
Such therapies include cognitive behavioral, problem solving, and interpersonal, all of which require specialized training. Of the three, problem-solving therapy can be learned most quickly.
In addition to the verbal aspects of these therapies, they often involve education and support in managing anxiety in structured ways, such as progressive muscle relaxation, sleep hygiene, and deep breathing.
There is a growing dispute about the use of pharmacological interventions for older adults, particularly those with chronic health conditions, because of the physical health risks associated with psychiatric medications, including antianxiety agents, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. The risks are particularly high for people taking prescription painkillers, which now are the major cause of drug overdose deaths and often are used in combination with other drugs, such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines, to treat anxiety (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). There also are higher risks for people with dementia and perhaps those with mild cognitive impairment.
Nevertheless, psychiatric medications frequently are used to treat older adults with anxiety disorders, and they can be helpful either alone or in combination with psychotherapy. Most commonly prescribed are benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), and lorazepam (Ativan). Buspirone is an effective treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, but there are limited data on its efficacy among older adults.
For older adults with co-occurring depression, PTSD, or social anxiety, antidepressants often are prescribed. Given elders' health risks associated with these medications, it is preferable for them to be prescribed on a short-term basis at the lowest effective doses with careful monitoring regarding their effects on blood pressure, heart conditions, balance, etc.

Some people may wonder what the standards for "Small Business" really are. While it can vary from country to country, numbers used in the US show us that a small business is any business less than 250 employees. Now, all of my entrepreneurial career I would have thought that if my business were to grow to 250 employees it would be gargantuan in nature! My businesses would have been actually classified as "Minute/Miniscule," as my staff fell into the "1-6" category. However, if your company falls into either of these categories, you need to find out about YOUR GLENDALE, AZ SMALL BUSINESS & WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION.
Assumption of Risk: Employer can be held harmless to the extent that the injured employee voluntarily accepted the risks involved with completing the task.
Fellow Servant Doctrine: Employer can be held harmless to the extent that the injury was caused in whole, or in part, by a peer of the Injured Worker.
Contributory Negligence: Employer can be held harmless to the extent that Injured Worker failed to use adequate precautions required by ordinary prudence.
As you can see, understanding YOUR GLENDALE, AZ SMALL BUSINESS & WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION certainly is not something you want to ignore if you ARE, in fact, intent on making sure your Company and Employees are adequately and completely protected!

Lady Gaga Was Once Tied To A Potential Sony Betty Boop Reboot Film
Charles Pulliam-Moore April 19, 2015
Sony's infamous e-mail leak continues to be the pop cultural gift that keeps on giving. A series of e-mails between executives from Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures reveal that Lady Gaga was once in late stage talks to voice Betty Boop in Simon Cowell's upcoming reimagining of the iconic character. As recently as last fall Gaga's name was attached the project to both star and contribute music to the movie's soundtrack. Over the course of a series of e-mails Lauren Abrahams, VP of production for Columbia, and one-time Sony co-chairwoman Amy Pascal express concern over Gaga's involvement in the film.
"It feels weirdly sexualized yet childlike (esp with Gaga) and not sure really who it's for in a big mainstream way," Abrahams wrote."Neither of us thinks we should do it, and we've also run the brand by marketing who aren't inclined either."
Doug Belgrad, president of the Motion Picture Group, was also included on the e-mail chain and expressed a similar lack of faith in the project's viability at the time insisting that he wasn't all to bullish on the idea. The correspondence between Belgrad, Pascal, and Abrahams took place last fall. Since then Sony's rumored to have backed away fully from producing the Betty Boop reboot and Gaga is no longer attached to the project.

"Gosnell" Performs Well at Box Office Despite Media Blackout
Oct 17, 2018 Jerry CoxAbortionAbortion, Gosnell, Life, Pro-life, Sanctity of Human Life
The movie Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer broke into the Top 10 list on its opening weekend despite its limited release and being virtually ignored by film critics and many major media outlets.
Life News Reports:
Despite a media blackout and virtually no coverage outside conservative media circles, the new movie "Gosnell" made the list of top 10 movies across the United States over the weekend. Coming in at the #10 spot, Gosnell came in ahead of other movies with much wider releases — as the film is appearing in just 673 theaters nationwide. . . .
But those who are watching the movie are giving in tremendously high ratings. It has a 67% rating at Rotten Tomatoes and 99% of those viewing it said they liked it.
The movie follows the 2013 arrest, trial, and conviction of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist who murdered babies born alive following botched abortions at his Philadelphia clinic.
Dr. Gosnell's facility has been described as nothing short of a house of horrors. At The Weekly Standard, Mark Hemingway writes,
Aside from being convicted of killing babies born alive—he may have killed thousands of babies this way—Gosnell was convicted of the involuntary manslaughter of a patient. There are good reasons to believe that many more of his patients may have suffered serious complications or even died from his negligence. (Among other things, Gosnell's penchant for reusing medical instruments without proper sterilization passed sexually transmitted diseases to his patients.) The titular description of him as "America's Biggest Serial Killer" doesn't seem like hyperbole.
The movie is rated PG-13 for mature content. However, the film itself is not graphic.
Ultimately, the media's decision to ignore the movie Gosnell mirrors its handling of the Gosnell murder investigation and trial. In 2013, major news outlets looked the other way as the Gosnell case unfolded, and in the end many practically had to be shamed into covering it at all. Five years later, it seems nothing has changed; many would rather ignore the Gosnell story altogether.
Nevertheless, Gosnell is outperforming many other movies at the box office, and I believe that says something about the American people.

The Geometry of Jane Brewster
Gareth Penn
Issue #32 (April 1984)
What follows is a true story. Only the names have been changed. The last chapter remains to be written. Perhaps you will be the one who writes it.
[quoteright]Jane Brewster was a graduate student in architecture at Ivytown U., which is situated in Ivytown, New England. She was working on her master's degree and was due to complete it at the end of school year 1981-82. When the Thanksgiving holiday came, she flew down to New Guernsey, where her parents live, to spend some time with them.
Jane's father is a highly-placed executive in a major multinational concern, and for some years he was in the upper echelons of the Central intelligence Agency. Her mother was a philosophy major at King's College. Both parents are firmly rooted in the upper crust of East Coast society. They belong to that class of people who have a Velazquez hanging in the drawing room and take their vacations on Nantucket.
Jane told her parents that she had a big project due in class on the Monday following Thanksgiving, and so she had to cut short her stay with them. She flew back to Ivytown early in the evening of Thanksgiving Saturday. Before she left, Mr. Brewster gave her $200 in folding money. She took with her her purse, a suitcase, and a tote bag. The tote bag held books and phonograph records.
You have to be very intelligent and hard-driving to get into Ivytown U. You have to be even more so in order to get into graduate division there. Jane was the kind of person who could succeed in a hothouse like that. Her personality had been forged in a crucible of wealth, power and success. Besides having a good mind and drive, Jane was vivacious, attractive, and a lot of fun. Just by looking at her, you could tell that she enjoyed life to the fullest. She had everything to live for.
After deplaning at Ivytown International, Jane fought her way through the holiday crowd to the baggage carousel. She had checked her suitcase through at New Guernsey but had carried her purse and tote bag onto the plane. A couple of passengers had struck up conversations with her during the flight, and they remembered seeing her standing there at the carousel, waiting for her suitcase.
Only one person remembers seeing her after that, and his identity is unknown. At that point, Jane Brewster vanished from the face of the earth. She did not return to her dormitory. She did not contact her parents or any other friend or relative. There are no indications from the trip books of the taxi companies working Ivytown International that she was picked up there by a cabbie.
Two weeks after her return to Ivytown, Jane's wallet and purse were found by the side of a highway, about seven miles north of the airport. They were lying next to the southbound lane. Whoever had put them there was driving toward Ivytown and its airport at the time.
A month later, her suitcase turned up. It had been left in a long-term storage locker at the Greyhound bus terminal in the center of Ivytown. When the rental had expired, the locker had been opened and its contents examined, in order to identify the owner.
Effects of Jane's found in the suitcase had her name on them. And her name was well-known by this time. Her fellow students at Ivytown U. had mounted a major campaign to find out what had happened to her. They published posters, they went from door to door, they broadcast appeals on the television and radio. Jane's parents put up a $50,000 reward for information as to her whereabouts. The newspapers turned her disappearance into a major story.
The police checked out every lead, no matter how bizarre. They even dragged a pond where a Transcendentalist philosopher had lived for a while, on a tip from a psychic. Ivytown has a population, together with its environs, of about a million. The police turned it upside down. They interviewed taxi drivers, bus drivers, ticket sellers; they got passenger manifests for every flight within an hour before and after her arrival, into and out of the terminal where she was last seen. They contacted hundreds of people whose names appeared on those manifests, and they interviewed practically all of the passengers and crew on her flight. But apart from the witnesses who had remembered seeing her waiting at the baggage carousel, nobody had anything to contribute.
That was over two years ago. In the meantime, only one thing has happened that has any bearing on Jane Brewster's disappearance. Someone has confessed to abducting and murdering her.
Salvatore "the Lobster" Ragusa, who was in jail on suspicion of having murdered another woman, whose corpse was found out in the marsh near where Jane's wallet and purse were left, told his ceilmate that the murder he was about to be tried for was nothing compared with what he had done to "that Jane Brewster," whose lifeless body, he said, he had dumped from his fishing boat into Ivytown Harbor. At least, that's what the cellmate said Sally had said. The ceilmate was moved to another jail and took a polygraph test, which bore out that Ragusa had told him that. But there was no other evidence that Ragusa had had anything to do with her disappearance. Ragusa is now on trial for the other murder, but even though the police are convinced that he is also responsible for the death of Jane Brewster, they cannot bring charges.
The police are satisfied, but the Ragusa theory has a number of important defects. The first one is that the Jail-cell confession can easily be discounted as an act of self-aggrandizement on the part of a small-time ruffian. Such confessions are not uncommon with criminals who want to enhance their status with their peers by taking the credit for a celebrity crime. And he may not even have uttered the confession. The polygraph is far from infallible. At all events, there is reason on a couple of counts to be skeptical about the confession.
But the biggest defect of the now-prevalent theory is that everyone is agreed, on logical grounds, that the only way Jane Brewster could have left the airport was in a privately-owned automobile. She would have had to have reason to entrust her safety to the driver. It is difficult to imagine why this daughter of the Power Elite would have willingly gotten into a car with a bait salesman like Ragusa, who speaks incorrect English and may even have smelled of mackerel at the time. She had never met the man before. Why would she trust him not to harm her? And it seems unlikely that she could have been forcibly abducted from a crowded metropolitan airport in the middle of a holiday weekend, within view of hundreds of witnesses.
If Ragusa was responsible for Jane's disappearance, why did he not dispose of her effects all in the same place? Why did he dispose of the body and tote bag so effectively that two years of searching have failed to turn them up, but leave the wallet, purse, and suitcase where they were certain to be found? Why was the criminal heading back toward Ivytown when he threw the wallet and purse out of his car? For that matter, in order to do so, he either had to be driving around in New England in December with the passenger-side window rolled down, or he had an accomplice riding with him who did the throwing - or else, he pulled over to the side of the road and got out before depositing the wallet and purse. Why that particular location? And if he had some reason for leaving the suitcase at the Greyhound station, why didn't he just walk in, put the suitcase down, and then walk away from it? Why did he put it in a storage locker?
That's the mystery of Jane Brewster. Where once there was an attractive, Intelligent, vivacious young woman with a long and happy life ahead of her, there remains only a dubious, second-hand confession, and an enigmatic triangle on the map of Ivytown, defined by three points: wallet and purse, bus station, airline terminal, with an area of approximately twelve square miles. The rest has vanished into thin air.
[We would like to invite to readers to contribute sequels to this story, which, though true, is tantalizingly incomplete. The best solutions will be published in the Ecphorizer later ... Ed.]

This test is stupid if the person taking it is among the small percentage of American voters who read, think, read some more, than think some more. If, however, the test is given to the typical American voter, I think it would be a fairly useful flash picture of that voter.

On the personal side I believe that considering a return of national service should be considered a liberal value.
First it would eliminate a military of mercenaries whose highest moral value is to "just obey orders" even when those orders are patently illegal. Remember these merc's are career people and no body in the military gets in trouble for going along ( except when a scapegoat is needed and you are the lowest rank available) but your career is over if you blow the whistle. Even when whistle blowers are proven totally right they are forced out, harassed and penalized.
With a military drawn from civilians who are only their for 2 years people will be more concerned with thier conscience rather then their future promotions. This has been proven repeatedly in history.
Plus in history one sees a repeating pattern that the greatest threats to democracies is a professional/mercenary force. The thuggish minds that attracted to this profession neither believe in or can accept authority with out murder. They must be treated with great care.
A military is a necessary evil but like treating illness's with mild doses of poison or vaccines of weak virus's care must be taken to keep them under very tight and limited control while maintaining them as weak in the public arena.
A citizen army composed in large part of 2 year national service soldiers will go a long way to accomplishing that.

I did favor a draft over a volunteer military because the privileged rarely join the military while the poor do out of desperation. Bush's war is a prime example of this as was Vietnam.

I got an 80/50. Centrist/Liberal/Libertarian. That's how I would describe myself. The test is surprisingly accurate, given it's brevity. I've taken similar quizzes with very strange results. It's still a little hokey, but a more sophisticated survey would have produced the same results for me, at least.
And to Michael Prah: How about a means tested draft with only the wealthy having to sign up? The poor already do their part voluntarily. Just an idea.

FRESNO, Calif. – Fresno Falcons forward Brad Both has taken a leave of absence from the team in order to tend to a situation that has arisen with his family back in his native Ontario. The rugged winger, who helped lead Fresno to a Taylor Cup Championship and within one game of another in the West Coast Hockey League, has appeared in seven games this season and scored one goal while racking up 87 penalty minutes. Both has been suspended from the Falcons roster so that the club may retain his playing rights if he is able to return.
The club also traded goaltender Mike Brown today to the Columbia Inferno in exchange for financial considerations. Brown played five games for Fresno and finished with a record of 2-1-1 with a 3.16 goals against average and .889 save percentage.
Finally, the Falcons placed rookie forward Brett Hammond on seven-day injured reserve. Hammond sustained a concussion when he was hit from behind during the team's 6-5 overtime loss against the Bakersfield Condors on Friday.
Fresno concludes a six-game road trip and a stretch of 12 of 13 away from home when they travel to face the Victoria Salmon Kings for three games on Jan. 5, 6, and 7.
The Falcons will then finally return home to Save Mart Center on Tuesday, Jan. 10, at 7 p. m. when they take on the Florida Everblades. The game is a Carl's Jr. Two-for-Tuesday, with two-for-one coupons available at participating Carl's Jr. restaurants. Individual tickets are on sale now at all Ticketmaster outlets and Save Mart Center's box office with prices ranging from $8 - $22. For complete ticket information and an arena map of Save Mart Center, visit www. fresnofalcons. com/singletickets. html, or contact the Falcons front office directly at (559) 485-PUCK (7825).

My Shot I broke my back and almost died, but I never doubted that I would play--and win--again
Reilley Rankin
At Georgia in 1998 I won four tournaments and was the NCAA
women's freshman player of the year, but I didn't get my next
victory until last month's LSU Invitational. As I walked up the
18th fairway with a lead in the final round, my playing partner,
Auburn's Courtney Swaim, said something I never expected to hear
from an opponent. "C'mon, Reilley," she urged, "you've got one
more good one left." That wasn't the first time Courtney had been
there for me. On June 4, 1999, she got me through something much
more important than a golf tournament.
Courtney and I were unwinding at Lake Martin, 40 miles north of
Montgomery, Ala., when I decided to conquer Chimney Rock, a
67-foot lakeside cliff. I wasn't so gung ho when I got to the
top, but that didn't mean I wasn't determined. I stood on the
rock and watched guys jump for an hour. Finally, I took a running
leap.
I landed on my butt. After struggling underwater for what seemed
like an eternity, I bobbed to the surface. Courtney swam to me
and helped get me ashore. I was having a hard time breathing, so
Courtney rushed me to a hospital. An hour later, in the emergency
room, I still didn't know what was wrong, but I felt I might die.
I was really afraid when one of the seven doctors standing over
me said I had broken my back and sternum, which had bruised my
heart, lungs and aorta. The doctors were afraid to move me
because they didn't have a heart surgeon on staff.
I spent the next four months in a body brace. I missed golf, but
every day I pretended it was raining and the course was closed. I
was in rehab for 14 months and didn't play in a tournament again
until last November.
Winning at LSU made me so happy. As Courtney and I hugged and
cried on the 18th green, she whispered, "Reilley, I am so proud
of you, and thanks for proving that you're going to be all
right."
Rankin leads the Lady Bulldogs with a 73.06 scoring average.

My sister and I were allowed to order our lunch at school (rather than bring sandwiches from home) once a week, and quite often I'd order a sausage roll. These moreish little pastries also used to make appearances, in cocktail form, at birthday parties and other celebratory events, always accompanied by a little jug of tomato sauce. Of course, the sausage rolls of my past contained indeterminate meaty bits, and I haven't eaten one of those for over thirty years. Nowadays I make these delicious little morsels, and based on my dim recollections, these are a very close alternative, except of course, much tastier!
I have adapted my sausage roll recipe from this one, which is itself an adaptation of a vegetarian recipe. The main adjustments I've made are to use chickpeas instead of tofu, which works just as well and is a lot cheaper, and I've added gluten flour (vital wheat gluten) to create the perfect meaty texture.
The great thing about this recipe is that using ready-made puff pastry makes them very easy to make, they can be frozen and reheat very well, so they are the ultimate snacky convenience food and go down very well at parties. Yet served with roast potatoes and a salad, or mashed potatoes, gravy and greens, they make a delicious main meal. So versatile!
Even if you're not making sausage rolls, try my little "egg" wash recipe for breads and pastries. It adds a little golden shine, and seeds really do stick well to it; much better than just using soy milk alone. Don't go overboard with the turmeric though. The aim is to add a little colour without perceptible turmeric flavour.
Makes 54 cocktail size or 18 full size sausage rolls.
In a saucepan, gently saute the finely chopped vegetables and dried herbs in your oil of choice (I use extra virgin olive oil), until softened, adding the stock powder and Marmite. The mixture will have quite a bit of moisture in it, but that's good, you don't want to cook it down until it's dry.
Meanwhile, place the toasted nuts (make sure they've cooled down) and slices of bread, roughly ripped into pieces, into the food processor and process into rough crumbs. Add the nutritional yeast and parsley and pulse a few times until the parsley is chopped. Put the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Next add the oats and gluten flour (vital wheat gluten) to the food processor and pulse a few times. The oats should still have some texture and not be reduced to powder. Add to the mixing bowl with the nut mixture and combine. That's the dry ingredients done!
Process the chickpeas in the food processor, again leaving a little texture rather than pureeing to a paste. If the mixture is a bit too thick to process evenly, add a dash of non-dairy milk.
Combine the chickpeas and the cooked vegetables with the dry ingredients. Season to taste. The sausage mixture should be quite moist and sticky, but not too sloppy. I find I need to add a few dashes of soy milk (or whatever non-dairy milk you like) as I mix, to achieve the right consistency. If the mixture is too firm, the resulting sausage rolls will be too dry when they're baked. The mixture also stiffens a bit as it sits there while you're making the sausage rolls in batches.
Take a couple of sheets of puff pastry out of the freezer at a time and as soon as they've thawed a little, cut the sheets into quarters. Moisten your hands so the sausage mixture won't stick, and take a generous spoonful and form it into a sausage shape the length of the pastry quarter, laying it down the middle of the square. Roll into a sausage roll shape, moistening one edge of the pastry with water to seal. Turn it over so the join is on the bottom, then carefully cut the roll into thirds if you're making cocktail size rolls, or leave as is if making full size. Make a few incisions in the top of the pastry with a sharp knife (only one cut for cocktail size), or pierce with a fork.
For the "egg wash", whisk or combine in a shaker all but the seeds. Brush onto each sausage roll, and sprinkle with the seeds, if using. Then bake the sausage rolls in a pre-heated moderate oven (180C/355F) on baking paper lined trays, until golden and crisp, turning the rolls at intervals, if necessary, to make sure they cook evenly. Then cool on a wire rack if not eating right away.
They will keep for several days in the fridge, and can be frozen, They reheat very well. Serve with tomato sauce (ketchup).


Please make sure you collect screenshots to prove you had the stadiums built. Why not start a career post to tell us all about your efforts.
No cheating of any kind. eg. reloading, pre game or in game editors.
Load any and as many leagues in any country's as you wish.
Post proof as a career (this can be a single post showing all the relevant screenshots) and remember to tag me so you can be added to the leaderboard.
You don't need to play the full 30 years but the longer you play the more stadiums you can have built and named in your honour.
I'm expecting that quite a few people have got deep into saves now so I wonder who will be the first person to get their name on this leaderboard this year.

It's Over: Hollywood Elites Melt Down As Democrats Are Denied New Witnesses
January 31, 2020 Rebecca Diserio, Opinion Columnist Political Opinion
(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)
Rob Reiner, Bette Midler, and Rosie O'Donnell are having epic meltdowns over the coming end of the impeachment hoax. It's rather ironic that they are now crying foul after Republicans had to endure Adam Schiff's basement bunker which was truly a major injustice to President Donald Trump. These celebrities are riled up and are having fits worse than in 2016. You'll love this.

On Thursday night, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler had an "incident" which was a big hint of how ridiculous the Democrats' case against President Donald Trump had become. It was also a foreshadowing of how Friday would pan out for the Trump-haters.
Poor, broken House Manager Adam Schiff. His comrade Rep. Jerry Nadler did a "speed waddle" up to the podium to answer the last question of the night during the impeachment hearing. And he stole Schiff's big moment.
"Jerry. Jerry. Jerry," Schiff is heard saying as he took a few steps towards Nadler, but he failed to stop him. One can only imagine how many hours Schiff rehearsed his final remarks which would include tears and hallucinations. Alas, it was not to be.

Making matters worse for the Democrats, GOP Senator Lamar Alexander then announced late Thursday night he would be voting "No" for new witnesses.
So, it wasn't really a shocker as Friday morning began and all hell broke loose. Social media platforms were filled with snowflakes freaking out. Trump supporters were overjoyed comparing the meltdowns to Election Night 2016.
However, some of the biggest meltdowns came from Hollywood elites.
Poor Rosie O'Donnell was very unhappy. First, she took aim at liberal law professor Alan Dershowitz. Then, she just broke down and told her followers to hang on to hope.
"i hope we never have to see dershowitz on tv again – ever – #HARVARDfirehim," Rosie tweeted. "of course HE DID IT … our country is in great danger – buckle up – this is not ok #hangontohope," she added.

"Russian hoax" conspiracy theorist Rob Reiner claimed we are throwing away the Constitution, and he made a wild accusation that Trump is an "indicted criminal" and that this is the first time we are letting a criminal walk.
"The Republicans in The United States Senate just flushed The Constitution down the toilet," Reiner said. "First time in the history of American jurisprudence that an indicted criminal who is proven guilty beyond any doubt is allowed to walk. A Republic if you can keep it," he added.

First time in the history of American jurisprudence that an indicted criminal who is proven guilty beyond any doubt is allowed to walk. A Republic if you can keep it.
Patricia Arquette is another Hollywood nutjob who ignored Ricky Gervais' advice at the Golden Globes and made her speech anti-Trump:
"We will see a country on the brink of war, the United States of America," Arquette said. "A president tweeting out a threat of 52 bombs, including cultural sites. Young people risking their lives, traveling across the world. People not knowing if bombs are going to drop on their kids' heads. And the continent of Australia on fire."
"It.Will.All.Come.Out." Arquette tweeted Friday morning implying that the real story behind the impeachment trial will eventually "come out."
It.Will.All.Come.Out.
— Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) January 31, 2020
Actor and comedian Patton Oswalt also said he'd "campaign like hell and vote for whoever is nominated. Bernie, Warren, f*cking Mayor McCheese." Not to be outdone, Bette Midler dramatically demanded that the Senate must call witnesses in the trial, "full stop."
I will campaign like hell and vote for whoever is nominated. Bernie, Warren, fucking Mayor McCheese. Oh God here come the Grimace stans. https://t.co/xmq38L8CSr
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) January 31, 2020
EVERY TRIAL NEEDS WITNESSES. FULL STOP.
— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) January 31, 2020
The Democrats have convinced their supporters they really only need one witness: John Bolton. GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski has announced she doesn't need more witnesses and will be voting "No."
"The House chose to send articles of impeachment that are rushed and flawed. I carefully considered the need for additional witnesses and documents, to cure the shortcomings of its process, but ultimately decided that I will vote against considering motions to subpoena," the Alaska Republican said in a closely watched statement.
"Bolton would not have anything but an opinion and perhaps a recollection of uncertain accuracy in all of the circumstances that Trump was leveraging assistance to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation of the Bidens," writes Conrad Black, who is a member of the British House of Lords.
"It would be a mixture of sour grapes from a fired former adviser and the pressure on all authors of books to sell them. His testimony would not swing the verdict in any event. Nor could the Democrats be sanguine about Hunter Biden's testimony, as he would be eviscerated by the president's counsel as a token potential conduit in an influence-peddling operation," he adds.
The outrage machine on social media went into high gear. Many are following the Hollywood crowds' footsteps by being overly dramatic and making crazy claims like "this is the end of our country."
The ironic thing is that they all miss the fact we really did have election interference in 2016. Carter Page's life was ruined by the deep state rats, as were many of Trump's associates. These Trump-haters fail to see the truth, and they will be outraged once again when the president soars easily to re-election.
