Why we're introducing a resolution on war with Iran
James Madison, the principal drafter of the Constitution, wrote that the history of mankind showed that the executive branch is "most interested in war, & most prone to it."
For this reason, he noted that the Constitution, "with studied care, vested the question of war" in the legislature. Once initiated, the power to carry out military action does flow to the president as commander in chief. And the president always has the power to defend the nation from imminent attack. But even when the president acts unilaterally in response to an attack, that action must be brief and limited to addressing a specific threat. Any action beyond that scope requires an authorization by Congress.

Trump administration abruptly cancels 4 classified Iran-related briefings
FBI officials had been expected to brief a group of House lawmakers on counterintelligence issues related to Iran on Wednesday in a separate closed-door session but those plans also changed at the last moment, according to two sources familiar with the planning. The reason for the cancellation remains unclear but the briefing was added to the calendar late last week, one of the sources said.

State Department and Pentagon abruptly cancel lawmakers' classified briefings on Iran and embassy security after mounting questions over reasons for killing Qassem Soleimani
– The Trump administration has canceled three classified briefings scheduled for lawmakers on the situation with Iran
– The move comes amid questions about the president's justification for killing Iranian General Qassem Soleimani
– The last round of administration briefings ended with lawmakers furious over a lack of candor by Trump administration officials
– Additionally, Senate Democrats said they have enough support to pass a war powers resolution to limit Trump's ability to use a military response to Iran

S.J.Res.63 – A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.
(1) Congress has the sole power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the United States Constitution.
(2) Congress has not yet declared war upon, nor enacted a specific statutory authorization for use of military force against, the Islamic Republic of Iran. The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack and the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107–243; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) do not serve as a specific statutory authorization for war against Iran, and neither authorize any such action.

Senate resolution to limit Trump's military authority on Iran has enough GOP votes to pass, key Democrats say
Kaine filed a draft of his resolution the day after the Iranian commander, Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, was killed in a U.S. drone strike, and he has been working with Republicans to amend the measure so they would support it. As a result, the updated, bipartisan version removes all references to Trump and his administration's statements and policies regarding Iran.

Senate Has Votes to Pass Limits on Trump's Iran War Power, Likely Drawing a Veto
The resolution, which would give Mr. Trump a 30-day deadline to come to Congress for authorization for military action in Iran, would still need to be passed by the House. And it would be unlikely to overcome a veto from the president.
Mr. Kaine introduced the measure, which invokes the War Powers Act of 1973, as a privileged joint resolution, which allows him to force a vote on the measure and win over the support of a simple majority of senators.

War powers fight in Senate runs squarely into impeachment
Senate Democrats hoping to rein in President Trump's ability to wage war against Iran secured majority support Tuesday for Sen. Tim Kaine's (D-Va.) war powers resolution, but the timing of the measure is now in flux.
In a procedural snafu, Democrats won't be able to force a vote on the measure until Tuesday at the earliest — the same day the Senate is expected to start Trump's impeachment trial.

Kaine and Lee predict as many as 10 Republicans could support war powers resolution
Lee said that the language of the resolution is unobjectionable, saying it simply states that "additional hostilities against Iran need to be authorized by Congress." He added, "That is a perfectly unremarkable statement. […] The fact that this would be objectionable to anyone in either political party is really saying something." That's particularly true after Kaine agreed to amendments from Republicans to make the resolution applicable to any president, and to ensure that it wouldn't force a withdrawal of troops in areas where proxy forces of Iran are present.

Democrats scramble to rein in Trump's Iran war powers
Lawmakers looking to limit Trump's ability to take military action against Iran face a tight time frame with little room for error after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced she will send the articles of impeachment to the Senate this week. Once the trial begins, all legislation is expected to be delayed for weeks.
But a resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) can come to the Senate floor as soon as Tuesday morning, and he has been trying to win over the four GOP votes needed, in addition to every Democratic senator, to get to 51 votes.

Trump says he'll sanction Iraq if US troops forced to leave
"If they do ask us to leave, if we don't do it in a very friendly basis, we will charge them sanctions like they've never seen before ever. It'll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday afternoon when asked about the vote by Iraq's parliament to end U.S. troop presence in the country.

Anti-Isis coalition suspends operations as Iraqi MPs vote to expel US troops
A statement on Sunday from Operation Inherent Resolve said the US-led coalition was "fully committed" to protecting its bases in the light of "repeated rocket attacks" from pro-Iranian militias over the past two months.
"This has limited our capacity to conduct training with partners and to support their operations against Daesh [Isis], and we have therefore paused these activities, subject to continuous review," the coalition said.

U.S. Officials Bracing for Imminent North Korea Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Test
Pyongyang has promised to deliver a "Christmas gift" if there is no progress on easing up on sanctions. But any movement on that front seems nearly impossible at this stage considering talks with Washington have stalled and the North Korean regime is once again insulting Trump regularly. As tensions with North Korea increase, and especially if there is a test around the holidays, it would mark a huge blow to one of President Donald Trump's major foreign policy initiatives. And it would happen right as he gears up for the presidential campaign.

The bill, SJ Res 7, was a straightforward bill under the War Powers Act of 1973. The bill noted that Congress never authorized the US war in Yemen, and demanded an end to it. The US Constitution grants sole power to declare wars to the Congress, and by extension the power to order an end to illegal wars.

Dass sie mit einem leichten Veto und wenig Kontroversen ausgelöscht wurde, trägt nur dazu bei, dass der Präsident zumindest de facto einseitige kriegerische Befugnisse hat, und die Kontrolle des Kongresses nur auf dem Papier existiert.

The resolution declared Nazis are bad, Martin Luther King Jr. was good, and — the real heart of the matter — rejected "the pernicious myth of dual loyalty and foreign allegiance, especially in the context of support for the United States-Israel alliance."
It was a very Democratic-party solution. Adding to the comedy, 23 House Republicans voted no on the resolution,

The US needs to stop using our military for regime change & stop intervening in Venezuela's military. Throughout history, US-led regime change has been waged in the name of humanitarianism, but has resulted in more suffering, destruction & lives lost. #HandsOffVenezuela

U.S. to Press Maduro With New UN Resolution on Venezuela
The U.S. is seeking support for a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Venezuela's government for blocking humanitarian aid from entering the country and calling on President Nicolas Maduro to hold new elections.
OAS Interventionist Resolution Against Venezuela Defeated
(25.1.2019) Only 16 out of the 34 countries that are members of the OAS supported the U.S.-sponsored statement. Pompeo gave an interventionist speech alleging that "the time of debate is done," and called "illegitimate" the presidency of democratically and constitutionally elected President Nicolas Maduro.
In the meeting, "the scene was that of Secretary of State (U.S.), Mike Pompeo, at the head of all alongside the Secretary-General, Luis Almagro, dictating practically the policies that the rest of the allied governments were dedicated to repeating," said teleSUR correspondent in Washington, Alina Duarte.

Remarks at the Organization of American States
(24.1.2019) SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you very much. The United States is a friend of Venezuela and of the Venezuelan people. We have watched Venezuelans suffer for far too long. We know what they know, that the tyranny of the now defunct Maduro regime has far too long – for far too long choked the country and its citizens.
Yesterday, in solidarity with the Venezuelan people, and out of respect for Venezuelan democracy, the United States proudly recognized National Assembly President Juan Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela. You've seen the statements from President Trump and from myself.
Many other countries, including a number of OAS states, have also recognized the interim president. We thank them for their support.
It's now time for the OAS as an institution as a whole to do the same. All OAS member states must align themselves with democracy and respect for the rule of law. All member states who have committed to uphold the Inter-American Democratic Charter must now recognize the interim president.

DAVID STARKEY: Bercow and Grieve think they are political giants, but they represent all that's rotten in this parliament of pygmies
And there is only one possible name for this one. It has to be the Parliament of Pygmies, presided over as it is by the pygmy-in-chief, Speaker John Bercow, who, early in his period of office, was denounced by one infuriated Minister as a 'sanctimonious, stupid dwarf'.
Ordinarily all this would be no more than matter for wry amusement. But the times are anything but ordinary. So strange are they, in fact, that the pygmies think they are giants and ape the gestures of the parliamentary greats of the past.

Revealed: Dominic Grieve secretly met John Bercow just HOURS before Speaker allowed his killer amendment as No 10 warns PM could be gone by WEDNESDAY
Commons Speaker John Bercow secretly met Tory rebel Dominic Grieve just hours before throwing out centuries of tradition to allow the MP to scupper Theresa May's Brexit plans.
The pair spoke in Mr Bercow's grace-and-favour Commons apartment the day before the Speaker tore up the rule book to allow the former Attorney General to table an amendment to wrest control of Brexit from the Prime Minister, The Mail on Sunday can reveal

John Bercow hurled insults at aides and binned their advice over anti-Brexit bias
SPEAKER John Bercow hurled insults at aides and binned their advice when they tried to warn against anti-Brexit bias, it was claimed yesterday.
He allegedly bawled them down and declared: "I'm not interested in what a gaggle of clerks has to say."
The astonishing clash came two hours before he ripped up the Commons rule book to allow rebel MPs the chance to frustrate Britain's exit from the EU.

Sky Views: We may yet be glad John Bercow is still Speaker
But if you think the only thing that matters is that a majority voted to leave the EU in the referendum, then you are likely to think Mr Bercow is a dishonest and biased scoundrel who has broken the rules in his determination to stop Brexit.
It is possible to take a different view of the Speaker's behaviour. For a start it is entirely consistent with the way that he has done the job over the past 10 years – when a majority of MPs have repeatedly chosen to keep him in the chair.

Speaker of the House of Anti-Brexit
Those 308 MPs were not voting to take back control of Brexit from the government, but from the 17.4million people who voted to leave the EU. They are not 'rebels' but the cross-party political wing of the Remain-backing UK establishment, determined to thwart the democratic vote for Brexit at all costs.
Far from defending democracy, Bercow was acting as the agent of this elitist 'coup'.

SPEAKER OF THE DEVIL: Commons Speaker John Bercow accused of trying to sabotage Brexit with Plan B ruling as he sparks constitutional crisis
The controversy sparked a near riot in Parliament as Brexiteers shouted their fury at the Speaker.
Amid scenes of chaos on the Commons floor, one livid Cabinet minister confronted Mr Bercow just before PMQs to accuse him of being "totally out of order".
The Sun can reveal that seething Chief Whip Julian Smith – one of Mrs May's closest lieutenants – accused Mr Bercow of "throwing centuries of precedence in the bin to thwart the referendum result".

Introduction of novel thermostable α-amylases from genus Anoxybacillus and proposing to group the Bacillaceae related α-amylases under five individual GH13 subfamilies.
Cihan, A. C., Yildiz, E. D., Sahin, E. & Mutlu, O. (2018). World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 34(7), 95.
Among the thermophilic Bacillaceae family members, α-amylase production of 15 bacilli from genus Anoxybacillus was investigated, some of which are biotechnologically important. These Anoxybacillue α-amylase genes displayed ≥ 91.0% sequence similarities to Anoxybacillus enzymes (ASKA, ADTA and GSX-BL), but relatively lower similarities to Geobacillus (≤ 69.4% to GTA, Gt-amyII), and Bacillus aquimaris (≤ 61.3% to BaqA) amylases, all formerly proposed only in a Glycoside Hydrolase 13 (GH13) subfamily. The phylogenetic analyses of 63 bacilli-originated protein sequences among 93 α-amylases revealed the overall relationships within Bacillaceae amylolytic enzymes. All bacilli α-amylases formed 5 clades different from 15 predefined GH13 subfamilies. Their phylogenetic findings, taxonomic relationships, temperature requirements, and comparisonal structural analyses (including their CSR-I-VII regions, 12 sugar- and 4 calcium-binding sites, presence or absence of the complete catalytic machinery, and their currently unassigned status in a valid GH13 subfamiliy) revealed that these five GH13 α-amylase clades related to familly share some common characteristics, but also display differentiative features from each other and the preclassified ones. Based on these findings, we proposed to divide Bacillaceae related GH13 subfamilies into 5 individual groups: the novel a2 subfamily clustered around α-amylase B2M1-A (Anoxybacillus sp.), the a1, a3 and a4 subfamilies (including the representatives E184aa-A (Anoxybacillus sp.), ATA (Anoxybacillus tepidamans), and BaqA,) all of which were composed from the division of the previously grouped single subfamily around α-amylase BaqA, and the undefinite subfamily formerly defined as xy including Bacillus megaterium NL3.

Internal structure of amylopectin from the pericarp tissue of developing wheat kernels.
Kalinga, D. N. & Bertoft, E. (2015). Starch‐Stärke, 67(11-12), 1070-1076.
Pericarp starch is a transient starch that forms in the developing wheat kernel and decomposes concurrently with the appearance of the endosperm. The detailed structure of the amylopectin component of pericarp starch granules was investigated and compared with amylopectin from mature wheat endosperm. Clusters of chains from the macromolecule were isolated by hydrolysis with α-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and were then transformed to limit dextrins using phosphorylase and β-amylase. The pericarp clusters consisted of 14.2 chains on average and had a 16.1% degree of branching, which was similar to the characteristics of clusters from large endosperm starch granules, as was the composition of the branched building blocks. However, the pericarp clusters exhibited a somewhat lower number of the largest building blocks. Other structural attributes, such as the average number of building blocks in the clusters and the length of the interblock segments, were also similar to those of endosperm starch. It is concluded that the cluster structure of wheat pericarp amylopectin essentially matches that of its endosperm counterpart.

Normally Ella the Wee Peggy has orange and yellow themed bobbins that coordinate with her orange driveband. For TdF she'll be sporting this green to match the Malachite colorway.
Next month starts one of my absolute favorite only fibery events Tour de Fleece! For anyone who may not be aware of this event it's a super fun one that takes place online mostly on Ravelry and in some Facebook groups as well as offline through spinning guilds and groups of friends. This event was named after Tour de France an annual multiple stage bicycle event help in France over the course of three weeks in July. This year it starts on July 7th and will run until July 29th. The concept of the event is to challenge yourself, spin, and of course have fun! For this event everyone sets up challenges for themselves, goals they would like to obtain whether it's something as simple as finishing some outstanding projects, spinning a new project, spinning 10 minutes a day or even tackling more difficult challenges such as spinning sweater quantities or learning new techniques. Each day that you spin you share your progress with your teams.
Team Jenkins is a team for spinning with Jenkins Turkish spindles and it has a bit more structure. I Co-Captain it with my friend Sharon(Homecraft) and we try to think up challenges that everyone to participate in. These challenges we do play a part in how we do our raffle giveaway at the end. We collaborate together about the challenge and theme for the event as well as sort out how we want to do our announcement and images. This year Sharon came up with a genius idea to have the theme revolve around how we travel with our spindles. She wanted to focus on having everyone take photos of their spindles wherever they are spinning them. We named the theme "A Turtle's Journey" with turtle in reference to how the cops of Turkish Spindles are fondly called turtles. Last year I designed this adorable Turkish Spindle Turtle the team fondly named Mac so we brought him back this year with a cute little suitcase. He's ready to lead the pack!
Outside of the two teams I captain I like to join a few others. I usually join the Majacraft Team, the Fun Onion(a team with several of my fibery friends), and then a couple of fiber dyer teams. One of my favorite fiber dyer teams is Three Waters Farm. Mary Ann, the owner of Three Waters Farm likes to dye up beautiful TdF themed braids each year. She normally does one with lots of different colors and then a companion braid which is a Semi-solid braid of a coordinating color. This year she's dyed up a colorway called Racing through Puddles and the companion braid is called Race Splash. I love how she does companion braids as they are super fun to spin up for socks which is what I've got planned for mine! She's taking on preorders until June 9th. Orders will ship by June 21st and the remaining ready-to-ship stock will be put in the shop. Racing through Puddles and Race Splash will be available by special order (with an 8 ounce minimum) when the ready-to-ship stock sells out. Last year I loved spinning the colorway so much I snagged another one a few days into the event so I could spin another set.
We still have one more month until the Tour starts. I cannot wait to see all the pretties everyone will be spinning up and how they will be spun up. It's such an inspirational and motivating event. If you are joining in on the fun let me know! What teams do you like to participate in? If you've got plans for what you'd like to spin I'd absolutely love to see photos!

I want to be able to take the values of SendPicture and perform some actions instead of executing the index that belongs to the other Action.

A: There are a few ways to do this. The easiest way:

*

*Save both of your UIActionSheets as your class's properties, say you saved those as photoActionSheet and tipActionSheet.

*In the following delegate method
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex

compare the actionSheet like:
if (actionSheet == self.photoActionSheet){

    //do something
}

The second way is to have another class implement the delegate method. I recommend the easier way, but it really depends on how you structure the project.
