Primary season is over, and the time has come for America's major political parties to formally nominate their candidates for president (some third parties have already named their nominees). The Republicans will kick things off in Cleveland with their national convention beginning July 18 and running over four days. Donald Trump is currently the presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party, and Trump has announced that Indiana Governor Mike Pence will be his vice-presidential running mate. Numerous news (and some not-so-news) outlets will have coverage of the 2016 Republican National Convention. Here are some places to watch (updated 7/18/16):
George Stephanopoulos will lead ABC News coverage of the Republican National Convention July 18-21 for one hour in primetime each night.

Shirlee Hollingsworth says:
Trump has really connected with what is needed for America. I could have done without the comments of the NPR/PBS news leftist thinkers and pro current status of the direction our country is headed without the Trump courage to state the truth & set the plan to correct our direction; without it the USA will lose it's sovereignty & constitution to the global elites plans.
Barbara McDowell Whitt says:
Having voted for every Democratic president since Lyndon B. Johnson was re-elected after completing the term he inherited following President Kennedy's death, I will of course be voting for Hillary Clinton. However, I will tweet this very thorough alphabetical list of news outlets on Twitter. As one of those who will vote for Hillary Clinton, I plan to watch/listen, for the most part, to portions of the RNC convention coverage. My venue of choice is PBS/NPR to stay aware of this year's RNC convention way of thinking and operating.
Betty Gilbert says:
I don't have cable or streaming. So I think the full convention should be aired on Channel 2,4,7, or 9. There are still many people who who can't afford the technology of today but will be voting. Don't think this is fair to them. A one hour news report is not enough.
Raj Desai says:
Daily speaker schedule will help.
It will on tv I don't have cable either but they are going to be live on broadcast tv channel PBS

President Obama repeatedly promised that his signature health law, the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, would reduce insurance premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.
ObamaCare: United Healthcare's surprise warning that it may scrap participation in federal health care exchanges is more than bad news for consumer choice. It's a broader sign of an unsustainable system.
The nation's largest health insurance provider surprised the markets Thursday by saying losses from its 550,000 individual ObamaCare exchange enrollments were sharply cutting its bottom line. That's notable because ObamaCare exchange participation only forms a small slice of the $105 billion company by market capitalization.
Yet it was enough to make the giant company and all the value it creates throughout its many operations suffer enough to trigger, as IBD market reporter Jed Graham wrote, "a surge of red ink."
The company forecast $425 million less revenue in the fourth quarter and cut its full-year 2015 earnings-per-share forecast to $6 from $6.25-$6.35.
Not surprisingly, its stock fell 5.6% by the close of trading Thursday, and other health care and hospital companies such as Aetna, Anthem, Tenet, Cigna, Humana and HCA took similar hits.
"We see no data pointing to improvement," UnitedHealth Group CEO Stephen Helmsley said on a conference call. Patients, he explained, were using their plans more than the company had anticipated and, worse still, were dropping coverage when they got well.
Bad as that is for company profits, it's a predictable outcome given the structure of the law and what it permits.
What Helmsley described was a company caught up in the classic "death spiral" that IBD and reputable economists have been warning about: Insurance policy sales going in the main to the sickest patients who use the most health care services, while the high prices of the larded-up government-mandated packages continue to drive off younger, healthier consumers.
DOH! It's not like it was predictable or anything… 🙂
In short, the ObamaCare master plan of having young and healthy consumers subsidize the oldest, sickest patients isn't working as the White House's central planners and self-proclaimed experts claimed.
<<chuckle>>
Not that the ideologically rigid Obama and The Democrats will care. They will continue to hammer on it until you give in to government control of who lives and who dies and the Insurance companies go bankrupt leaving only the government left.
That's Democrat "compassion" for ya… 🙂
What's striking here is that UnitedHealth is no tiny startup ship with a narrow margin of error riding the big ObamaCare regulatory waves. It's the biggest of the big, a conglomerate that's the product of the consolidation of the industry — Anthem and Cigna, UnitedHealth and HCA, HCA and private investors — that was supposed to enable the sector to absorb the blow of higher costs of insuring more customers and still continue to do well.
That's not happening.
What's more, UnitedHealth was in the ObamaCare exchanges for only a year, during a window of time when the government was supposed to cushion insurers against losses in the ObamaCare transition. The cushion ends next year, leaving companies on their own.
(Insert "Jaws" theme music here) 🙂
Will smaller health care companies really be able to make a profit in an atmosphere that even UnitedHealth found impossible to sustain a profit in? There's plenty of reason to wonder, as the markets did Thursday. (IBD)
"We cannot sustain these losses," CEO Stephen Hemsley said in an investor call Thursday morning. "We can't really subsidize a marketplace that doesn't appear at the moment to be sustaining itself."
Several nonprofit insurance cooperatives that were supposed to compete for customers on the exchanges have folded. Meanwhile, some big publicly traded insurance companies, including Anthem, Aetna, Cigna and Humana, say they are enrolling fewer people than expected or even losing money.
A recent report by McKinsey & Co. found that the industry lost a total of $2.5 billion, or $163 per customer, in the individual market.
Insurance companies have had trouble attracting healthy customers to the exchanges to purchase their insurance products, many of which have deductibles of thousands of dollars.
The industry's troubles are reflected in the insurance products being offered on the exchanges during the current enrollment period, reports The Wall Street Journal:
"For these plans, which will take effect in 2016, many insurers have raised premiums in order to cover the medical costs of enrollees, which have run higher than many companies originally projected, fueling this year's losses. Insurers have also shifted to offering more limited choices of health-care providers"
Still, no other big insurer has signaled its intention to leave the exchanges. (NPR)
YET. But it will come. But don't worry Obama and The Democrats are from the Government and they are here to help you! 🙂
The average premium for medium-benefit plans offered to 40-year-old non-smokers will rise 10.1% in 2016, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Are you wondering how to drive massive and targeted traffic to your blog? With over 100 million active blogs on the blogosphere competing for the attention of online users, getting a decent amount of traffic is growing harder by the day.
But if you follow the techniques outlined in this article doggedly, your blog will begin to get traffic on a daily basis.
One of the first steps for increased traffic is to get your blog on search engines. Getting the URL of your blog submitted to major search engines like Google will enable their bots to crawl it. Then your blog pages will be added to their search engine result pages.
Take note, however, that this does not imply that the pages of your blog will appear on the first page of popular search engines. That takes time as well as other factors. But in any case, your blog will be part of the results that may be picked up when anyone uses the search engines for your keywords.
You cannot build an audience on a blog if you don't have any useful content on it. When you update your blog frequently, you will start attracting the attention of online users. When you post meaningful content that adds value to your readers all the time, they will become loyal to you and may even invite their friends to your blog.
As your blog posts become more consistent and you continue to gain traction, search engines may notice the activity on your blog and begin to push your blog up their search engine ranking pages.
Encourage social sharing of your blog posts. Social media platforms have come to stay, and are the richest source of online traffic. By sharing your blog post on these platforms, your blog will receive more traffic on a daily basis.
Once upon a time, search engine optimization (SEO) was everything when it came to ranking websites or blogs. Despite numerous agitations about the efficacy of SEO in today's Internet businesses, it still plays a very significant role in getting organic traffic to blogs and sites alike. Optimize your blog posts with relevant short- and long-tail keywords that will help search engines to pick them up quickly. But do not spam by overloading your posts with too much relevant (or irrelevant) keywords. Keyword-stuffing is a punishable crime as your blog can be yanked off search engine results entirely.
This is another effective method of driving targeted traffic to your blog. Guest blogging is appearing as a guest on another's blog (usually an influencer) and dropping a post there. This is possible by approaching the other blogger and letting him know about your intentions or if another blogger invites you or asks for a guest post.
The benefits are mutual: the influencer will have credible content, and you will, in turn, receive exposure and traffic from an audience already hooked and interested in your subject matter.
Another benefit that you gain is if the influencer allows you to link back to your blog. Search engines love backlinks and will reward you with a higher ranking if such links are from credible sources.
In conclusion, blogging requires dedication. Ask questions, join relevant communities on social media and learn more techniques about how to get your blog noticed online and your blog will begin to receive quality traffic.

Public health workers unpack B.C.'s first shipment of Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19, which has to be kept in low-temperature packaging until administering, Dec. 13, 2020. (B.C. government)
B.C.'s daily COVID-19 cases dip to 522 Tuesday
Hospitalized, intensive care patients still increasing
B.C.'s downward trend in diagnosed COVID-19 cases continued Tuesday, but hospitalizations crept up and 21 more people have died from the virus.
B.C.'s 522 new cases reported Dec. 15 is down from 759 on Monday, with 361 people in hospital, up two in the last 24 hours. Patients in intensive care rose from 87 to 93.
B.C. recorded 2,146 new cases between Friday and Monday, continuing a high but steady level of around 700 in recent days and a decline from a peak of nearly 1,000 daily cases in late November. There were also 49 additional deaths over the three days, an increased rate that reflects mostly infections among seniors in long-term care.

B.C. public health officials reported two new community outbreaks, at Big White Ski Resort in the Okanagan, and Teck Resources Elkview and Fording River coal mining operations in the Kootenay region.
A new health care outbreak was reported at Burnaby Hospital, and the outbreak at Langley Memorial Hospital's long-term care facility has been declared over.
"Today is a momentous day in our province with the start of our first COVID-19 vaccine clinics," provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix said in a statement. "With immunizations now underway, those who are most vulnerable to severe illness have one more layer of protection that will get stronger as each new person gets immunized."

As a huge Liverpool fan, I'm sure along with fellow fans, words can't really express how I feel about us getting knocked out at the 4th round of the FA Cup by West Brom!
Van Dijk is a a great addition to our defense, but as a collective, our defense is a shambles! The defensive responsibility can't rest on one play, but the blame can't rest on a single player either, it's the defense as a whole. Their lack of communication, their lack of co-ordination and their inability to quickly close down danger. Van Dijk has been a welcome addition, but the defenders need to work as an in-tune team to make vital challenges and clearances.
Alexander-Arnold... I think, one day, he could be a great player for us, but he shouldn't be in the first team yet. I feel he's too immature. While he clearly has great skills and is a very versatile player, for me, he's just not first team material yet.
Mane... What happened to the Mane of last season? He holds up the ball too long, cowers away from shooting opportunities and makes stupid judgement calls.
Salah... He can be amazing, but he doesn't have the natural prowess of a striker. He's fast, he scores, but is that enough? He never has much power behind shots, so fails to score in situations where someone like Firmino has the power to convert. His passing accuracy isn't amazing either and he often loses the ball when challenged. I'm not disputing the fact that he has put away a load of goals for us, but more that he has also failed to put away a load too. He scored a decent goal tonight at least.
Back to tonight's game. Firmino... He shouldn't have been missing a penalty. Maybe he wasn't the right person for the job? He also seemed off his game tonight even if he did score the opening goal.
The team tonight were all over the shop. The last 10 minutes or so we were doing well, but it was too little, too late.

"I'm COVID-19 positive. I'm doing well. I'm isolated in my house. I will be out of commission for two to three weeks. I have cared for several COVID-19 patients. One was not recognized initially and this may have been the one that the infection came from. Can't wait to get back in the fight."
We are the revolutionary force that can free the people
Many New Afrikans (Blacks) for some reason think that the revolution is dead. The revolution is not dead. It is the spirit of the people that is dead. They have forgotten their history. And since their spirit is dead, the revolution is at a standstill or stagnant. Revolution means to bring about a change. A revolutionary is one who is dedicated to bringing about that change. We can all agree that change in these times is indeed needed. Revolution is needed! The people's spirit is only dead because those of us who claim to be revolutionaries haven't sparked their interest.
Systemic impunity keeps Jim Crow alive in Florida prisons
Trust the truth: Neither slavery nor Jim Crow is over. As you can see, the 13th Amendment perpetuates slavery through its exception clause, and Black life still don't matter, not just personally, but by law. Jim Crow is being kept alive through systemic impunity. When you let a certain group know that they are above the law, that they can do as they please to other people and they will be protected, you create sadists, bullies and ruffians.
US prisons practice the same slavery and racism celebrated by Confederate...
On Aug. 11, white supremacists rallied in Charlottesville, Virginia, against the removal of the statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, It turned deadly. The Charlottesville events happened just a week before Aug. 19, the date of the planned mass rally in Washington, D.C., against mass imprisonment. This rally and the growing movement of which it is part are aimed at dismantling not merely symbols of past racism and slavery like Confederate monuments, but the 13th Amendment, which still authorizes slavery today and is directed predominantly against people of color.
Black heaven: a review of Marcus Gardley's 'black odyssey' at Cal...
Marcus Gardley's "black odyssey," currently on stage at Cal Shakes in Orinda, translates the Black Holocaust into modern language. Gardley takes an oral history, Homer's Grecian hero's tale, then ruptures and reinterprets it so the folks submerged in the waters of confusion gain clarity. Those ancestors at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean are resurrected in "Ulysses Lincoln" – a hero and a warrior.
On Dec. 6, 1865, Black bodies were nationalized – and our...
As I write this article, I am not sure what day the Civil War began or what day it ended. The facts that I do know about the Civil War are not worth repeating here, as that story already occupies plenty of space in American text. My muse, instead, is about the particular vestige of slavery that the Civil War bequeathed to us on Dec. 6, 1865, that now forms the basis of our struggle to end mass incarceration and prison slavery in 2017.
Neutralize their activities: The footprints of COINTELPRO from the Black Panther...
In the spirit of the MOVE conference held May 5-7 in Philadelphia to educate the public about the MOVE organization, I will like to expound on the U.S. government sanctioned attacks on MOVE within the larger context of the FBI's campaign of harassment, murder, frame-ups and imprisonment of Black revolutionaries during the radical '60s and '70s, and even today, in an effort to thwart the realization and actualization of Black unity, Black power and Black liberation.
Announcing Millions for Prisoners March for Human Rights
The purpose of this press release is to notify prisoners, community organizers and all those who care of the upcoming Millions for Prisoners Human Rights March in Washington, D.C., scheduled for Aug. 19, 2017. This is a national effort to bring world attention to the 13th Amendment enslavement clause, its ramifications, and to solidify organizing efforts to amend it. In essence this is an abolitionist movement to abolish legalized enslavement.
Troubled legacy: a review of Nate Parker's 'Birth of a Nation'
Perhaps the reason why Nat Turner is almost completely buried within documented and oral histories is connected to the fear his rebellion caused in the Southampton and by extension the Southern antebellum community. Nate Parker's "The Birth of a Nation" visits this story as Donald Trump draws a white male constituency very much in keeping philosophically with the angry mob who tear the flesh from the iconic Prophet Nat Turner's body.
Amend 13!
This is a public notice to all freedom fighters, activists and community leaders: SLAVERY IS NOT DEAD! Did the 13th Amendment abolish slavery? Ask anyone in the United States this question and they will answer most emphatically: Yes, of course it did. If you, the person reading this article and call to action, believe this as well, please allow me to inform you: You are wrong! Slavery is not dead! Rather than abolish slavery, the 13th Amendment LEGALIZED it!
Pattern of practice: Centuries of racist oppression culminating in mass incarceration
After winning their freedom in the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history, Blacks were in many cases and places denied basic human, civil and political rights, literally forcing New Afrikans back into slavery by denying them a right to life. Over the years the government declared and waged war on the New Afrikan communities - war on unemployed "vagrants,' war on crime, war on drugs, war on gangs - culminating in mass incarceration.
'Ujamaa Village,' an old idea revisited: Black towns!
The resurgence of modern Black towns for today's Black population could represent a renaissance in Black thinking. It makes sense that if other cultural groups have "towns" like Chinatown, Japantown, Little Italy or Little Mexico, the Black community should get serious about developing and building Africatowns to recapture our internal economic markets and revitalize our cultural heritage for posterity.
'Afro-Futurism: Envisioning the Year 2070 and Beyond'
"Afro-Futurism: Envisioning the Year 2070 and Beyond" reflects and builds upon African American history. The art exhibit challenges us to cherish and critique the moment. By placing African Americanism into the year 2070, the artwork and statements visualize a future to look forward to. So how will African Americans/Negroes/Blacks define the world in 2070?
From the Pelican Bay Human Rights Movement: For every problem, there...
So now it is necessary for us to move forward and utilize our NARN science in order to resolve these contradictions – the problem – so as to enhance the power of the people! Hence, the Pelican Bay Human Rights Movement is hereby proposing to the people – the Prisoner Hunger Strike Support Coalition – that we initiate an online petition campaign with the goal of obtaining 1 million signatures.
Being on the outside, writing in
I have learned profound lessons from Zaharibu in the short three months I have known him. In hearing more about his story and the horrendous conditions he lives under, I have been driven to learn more about solitary confinement, why it must be abolished and the resistance against it. I have also been moved to become a part of that resistance in any way I can.
Crime, criminalization and gun control: Oakland leads the way in crime...
Oakland may seem like a local anomaly with its big increase in homicides in 2011-12 and the anti-crime hysteria which now engulfs it. But Oakland is just a prime example of the intertwining of crime and criminalization under capitalism, in which the ruling class divides working people one from another and targets particular groups for victimization.
Do you know how Ida B. Wells has affected our lives?
Ida B. Wells was a fiery crusader for African American justice at a time when angry white men indulged in lynching as acceptable behavior. Her determination, courage, ambition and refusal to back down helped change the course of history. Her talents as an investigative reporter, successful writer and newspaper owner were unbeatable weapons.
Political prisoners, mass incarceration and what's possible for social movements
Since America's MASS INCARCERATION is driven by unjust racial/class policies, then the real solution to MASS INCARCERATION is MASS "DECARCERATION." In other words, drastic cuts to ALL prisoner's TIME, since TIME is the currency, the legal tender, the great equalizer and righter of wrongs in prison.

Plant-based meals for dogs dining with its owners in restaurants
A start-up that is specialized in plant-based pet food, provides meals for puppys in restaurants so that owners can have dinner with their pets.
The opportunity is given in seven restaurants across the UK in Norwich, Bristol, Manchester, Brighton and London. The start-up, celebrating Veganuary, targets to show the advantages of plant-based nutrition for humans and animals as well as to create a dog-friendly atmosphere in restaurants.
"When we first became pet parents we were shocked at how unfriendly most restaurants and cafes were towards dogs. We often talk about why this is and think that as the UK is a nation of dog lovers we need to start positively promoting the idea that dogs and their pet parents can dine together, said Damien Clarkson, the co-founder at PACK.
Pet parents will be able to choose from three nutritionally flavors; 'No Fishy Dishy', 'No Moo Ragu' and 'No Cluck Casserole', made with blends of pulses, proteins, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and superfoods.
In the restaurants owners can select between three meals for their pet: 'No Fishy Dishy', 'No Moo Ragu' and 'No Cluck Casserole'. All of these are made out of pulses, proteins, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and superfoods.

The MD 431 II's supercardioid pattern has excellent noise rejection, which contributes to its performance as a speech recognition microphone. It has a custom-tailored frequency response to achieve added transparency. A nearly frequency-independent, polar pattern gives the MD 431 II incredibly high gain before feedback and provides uncolored off-axis response.
Some of our microphones include a built-in USB soundcard. Those that do not, typically include the recommendation to add a proper USB soundcard. This is because the integrated OEM soundcard (that came in your computer) may limit the accuracy of your new professional microphone, or even prevent it from working altogether.
Sennheiser's best dynamic mic for live vocals just got better. The super-cardioid MD 431 II has a custom-tailored frequency response to achieve added transparency. A nearly frequency-independent polar pattern offers incredibly high gain before feedback and provides uncolored off-axis response. Its new rugged housing has a steel-mesh grille, a shock-suspended capsule, and a hum-bucking coil. It features a noiseless, magnetic reed on/off switch which is recessed in its handle, and internal electronics for refining proximity effect.
The same technology that makes the Sennheiser Super Cardioid MD 431 II the world's best vocal microphone also makes it #1 for speech recognition in both noise cancellation and accuracy when speaking within 1 to 4 inches of the microphone element.
The combination of the "tailored" frequency response, shock suspended capsule, integrated pop filter and silent on off switch make this microphone unbeatable for "close mic" speech recognition use. Because of its high accuracy, it is able to capture more one syllable words than any other microphone; even when used on the floor of a noisy convention center.
Recommended accessories include: Windscreen, desktop microphone stand and USB soundcard.

Bill Bradley on Free Trade
Open trade raises prosperity and increases freedom
The passage of NAFTA and GATT increased US export markets by reducing tariff and trade barriers globally and put a damper on US inflation by allowing entry of lower-cost imports. Open trade gives people the freedom to buy whatever they want, no matter what country the goods come from; it raises the income of the world's poorest nations, thereby allowing them to make investments in public heath and education; it generates the wealth that in part can be used to clean up the environment- in short, it raises living standards and increases freedom. A rule-based multilateral trading system also provides hundreds of million of people with a stake in maintaining global security. For the US, open trade means the likelihood of continued prosperity. What the world needs and wants are the things we do best. Source: The Journey From Here, by Bill Bradley, p.126-27 Aug 15, 2000
WTO is first step in worldwide economic system
The World Trade Organization is only a first step in building a foundation for a stable worldwide economic system. It will consist of a series of strategic economic partnerships and institutions (including a reformed International Monetary Fund and World Bank) designed to promote global security and economic health as well as other non-economic objectives such as orderly immigration, efficient criminal prosecution, and a clean and healthy environment.

Keep tabs on China using WTO
Q:To what extent would you commit American military power to defend Taiwan?
A: There's another dimension to our relationship with China. It's the economic dimension. I'd rather have China inside the world-trading system, subject to multilateral rules than I would have China outside the system making bilateral deals and playing one country off against another. Source: Democrat debate in Los Angeles Mar 1, 2000
All refugees should be granted rights to stay in US
Q: Should the wet-foot-dry-foot law be expanded to include groups other than Cubans? A: People who come to our shores as refugees have a right to remain because they're fleeing tyranny, not just Communist tyranny. We ought to ensure that they can stay and have the same legal rights as everybody else. The 1996 Immigration Law created some problems that we need to rectify. We're all immigrants in this country. So I think immigration is what we are as a country. It should be celebrated. Source: Democrat Debate in Des Moines, Iowa Jan 17, 2000
Rely on the WTO to export beef to Europe
Q: What would you do to ensure that all American farm products have access to all markets? A: I think the most important thing we can do is to use our authority under the WTO in order to petition to get access to markets. When, for example, Europe blocked our beef because of beef hormones, we went to the WTO. We formed a dispute settlement mechanism. We presented our case, and they ruled in our favor. There's still delay in the entry of that beef into Europe, but the decision was made. Source: Democrat Debate in Johnston Iowa Jan 8, 2000
More truck inspectors at Mexican border, within NAFTA
Bradley sided with the Teamsters unions in its request to block Mexican trucks with imported goods from crossing the US border until more inspectors are hired. While Bradley helped to write NAFTA, he hoped his support of the delay of the truck-crossing measure would translate into union support. Source: Boston Globe, p. A6 Oct 13, 1999
NAFTA, WTO, and world trade solve economic problems
I was a strong backer of NAFTA. I think it's created more positive results than negative. Some people have been hurt by it. Those people ought to be helped. But I think that, overall, it's a benefit to the country. I also was a major backer of the WTO. I think that the answer to a lot of our economic problems is more trade, more fairly shared worldwide. Source: NBC's "Meet the Press" Aug 1, 1999
Smarter workers needed to compete in global market
To compare hourly wages & say we'll never be able to compete against Mexicans or Chinese. ignores the necessity for Americans in all workplaces to work "smarter"-in the vanguard of technology. Millions of Americans need not lose their jobs as the pace of global change accelerates. Customized production in a domestic plant, not abroad, will be the dominant form of the new economy and will generate new jobs. Above all, workers and managers need to see that lifetime education. is a necessity. Source: Time Present, Time Past, p. 265 Jan 8, 1997

Earlier today, the President of the United States and the holder of the highest office in the land, Barack Obama, debuted the first, official Twitter account run by the President and the President alone. Because of how the internet works, hundreds of people immediately asked the President to please sit on my face, daddy. And because of how the Presidential Records Act works, every single one of those tweets, from "spank me" to "fist me," is getting filed away in the official White House archives.
On Twitter, the White House automatically archives "tweets" from official White House accounts, "direct messages" sent to or from official White House accounts, and "mentions" (tweets from other users to official White House accounts; these tweets contain an @ and the username of an official White House account (e.g., @WhiteHouse).
In other words, for the sole purpose of complying with the Presidential Records Act, the White House will be archiving Twitter user "shithead"'s request that President Obama, Michelle Obama, and former President Bill Clinton all "slay him." Along with every one of these.
@POTUS sit on my face!
Congratulations, kids. We'll see you in the Library of Congress.

Q: Adding BlurHandler to a composite widget in GWT I am have developed a composite widget like the dropdown widget found at http://showrss.info/?cs=browse.I have the widget closing and opening fine but i want to close the widget if a click event outside the widget occurs(a blur event on the widget).Currently i am sinking Blur events on the widget and overriding the onBrowserEvent method.but i dont seem to capture the event.

On 1 August 2014, Russia enforced an embargo on EU agricultural imports, stopping almost 50% of them immediately. EU producers have been hit hard and have had to shoulder the burden of the ban, the reason for which lies far from the realm of agriculture, yet punishes Europe's farmers nonetheless.
Despite the Commission's swift response to the shock to the EU market caused by the ban, it should not be forgotten that the situation is still ongoing and therefore close attention should continue to be given to the issue. In this context, and while many EU producers – especially young ones – are still in the investment and development phase of their enterprises, CEJA believes that appropriate market measures should continue to be deployed, particularly for those sectors hardest hit.
The situation of those in the dairy sector is even worse considering the scale of the final super levy fines for the EU producers who went over quota in 2014 – it is essential that these fines are not additional burdens on top of those already caused by Russia's actions. CEJA calls for measures to facilitate the payment of these penalties, for example through installments.
In order to stand up to Russia in the face of this agricultural embargo, it is of utmost importance that all EU Member States keep a united stance on the issue, acting with one voice and displaying unity and solidarity in the face of Russian hostility.

Using Information-Based Classifications to Distinguish Characteristics of Raw Agricultural Materials by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Yilin Liu, Gang Hu, Han Liu, Yifen Yang, Yu Guan, Junhui Li
Spectroscopy, June 2021, Volume 36, Issue 6
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a promising technique for identifying raw agricultural materials. However, it is rarely used because of its poor discriminant rate. In this study, we took tobacco leaves from five origins as experimental materials. An origin discriminant model by the discriminant partial least squares (DPLS) was established, and the correct discriminant rate of internal cross validation was 76.54%. Origins were divided into three groups. The discriminant model of the three groups was improved, and the correct discriminant rate of internal cross validation was 98.77% along with a 100% external validation rate. We analyzed the characteristics of the three groups' average spectra under normal variable pretreatment and found they have different absorption characteristics in different regions, and that the classification is information-based. The results show that using information-based classifications can establish a better model, and that main chemical components and NIR spectra can determine whether the classification is information-based, and whether projection based on principal component and Fisher criterion (PPF), can be more effective.
Near-infrared (NIR) light is an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range of 780 to 2526 nm (1). The NIR spectrum absorbs the doubled and combined frequency of hydrogen-containing group vibrations and contains information on the composition of most organic compounds (1). NIR analytical technology is a fast and nondestructive technology for material analysis, and it can conduct two types of analysis: quantitative and qualitative (2). Using NIR qualitative discrimination, the source, type, storage time, grade, and identity of a sample can be determined. The use of NIR spectroscopy to qualitatively discriminate samples has been extensively studied; such studies have considered the varieties of strawberries (3), the origins of jujube (4), the origins of fritillaria (5), the classification of bamboo (6), and explored many other areas (7–11). In addition to NIR analysis technology, methods commonly used to distinguish the characteristics of agricultural products include electronic nose technology (12) and mineral element fingerprint analysis (13), among others.
Qualitative discrimination of agricultural raw materials not only help identify the authenticity, quality, and grade of the agricultural raw materials, but they also facilitate the classification and grading of the market as well as the breeding of varieties, among other processes. Qualitative discrimination of agricultural raw materials is also conducive to stable large-scale industrial production in terms of acquisition and processing. However, in actual production, not many types of at- tributes can be identified (generally only those that differ greatly); the recognition accuracy is not high (for some attribute types, the recognition accuracy is usually less than 90%) (14–17). Although using NIR technology has achieved the aforementioned goals, there are few examples of practical applications.
In this study, we took tobacco leaves from the Sichuan province of China as experimental materials and used discriminant partial least squares (DPLS) to establish a qualitative discriminant model first. However, the correct discriminant rate was poor. We speculated that the classification of origins by administrative divisions is insufficient, or that the classification does not have an information basis. Therefore, we analyzed the similarities between the five origins based on the main chemical components and NIR spectra. Doing this analysis helped establish the discriminant model of the three origin groups. The results showed that using information-based classifications can lead to a better model. This study also analyzed different absorption characteristics in different NIR wavenumber ranges and determined whether the classification is information-based by similarity analysis.
A multipurpose analyzer (MPA)-type Fourier transform NIR spectrometer (Bruker, Germany) was used. The working parameters were as follows: spectrum acquisition range, 12000–4000 cm-1; spectral resolution , 8 cm-1; and number of scans averaged, 64.
Samples and Data
The quality characteristics and main chemical components differ greatly among the upper, middle, and lower parts of the same tobacco plant. To eliminate the influence of part differences on the determination of tobacco origins, the middle part of samples collected from different origins in 2014 to 2016 in Sichuan province, China, were selected. Information about the total experimental samples is provided in Table I. Tobacco routine chemical composition data, including the total sugars, reducing sugars, total nitrogen, nicotine, potassium, and chlorine, were obtained by the Sichuan Provincial Tobacco Quality Supervision and Test Station.
Experimental Method
Discriminant Partial Least Squares (DPLS)
DPLS originated from partial least squares (PLS) analysis, which is a bilinear model based on an X matrix (explanatory variable) and a Y matrix (response variable) (18). This algorithm maximizes the covariance with the Y matrix by modifying the X matrix (19).
Although PLS is regarded as a calibration method, it is also used for solving discrimination problems (20). Different from PLS analysis, Y is a class variable in DPLS. A binary system was used to determine the class to which a sample belongs and a standard is set, where "1" denotes belonging to this class and "0" denotes not belonging to this class (21). When there are three classes or five classes, class variable Y is as shown in Table II. However, the predicted value is often close to 0 or 1 rather than exactly 0 or 1 (22). In general, it can be set to a threshold to discriminate between classes by comparing the relationship between the predicted values and the threshold value (23).
In this study, we use the Caunirs software (China Agricultural University) to establish the origin discriminant models. The correct discriminant rate (CDR) is discriminating one class to within the same class, and the incorrect discriminant rate (IDR) discriminates a class to other classes. The CDR and IDR are defined as follows:
Projection Based on Principal Component and Fisher Criterion (PPF)
The PPF is a projection method that combines principal component analysis with Fisher criterion (24,25). Spectral matrix X has been reduced to x by a dimension reduction technique called principal component analysis. Then, x is projected though Fisher criterion. It searches for the projection directions on which the data points of different classes are separated as far as possible, while the data points of the same class are kept close to each other (19).
The PPF method maximizes the between-class distance and minimizes the within-class distance. Not only can the PPF method discriminate between classes, but it can also reflect the similarity between classes (26). The projection of PPF is a circle. In the PPF two-dimensional (2D) projection, the center of each circle represents the projection mean within-class, the within-class projection values reflect the degree of dispersion within the class, and the overlap of the circles reflects the similarity between the classes (19). The distance between the projection graphs can be visually evaluated to ascertain the degree of similarity among the origins; the diameter of the circle can evaluate consistency within an origin (19). This study mainly considers the interclass distances between different origins. In this study, we use the Caunirs software (China Agricultural University) to establish a projection analysis model.
Cluster Analysis and Spectral Preprocessing
Based on the averages of the main chemical components from each origin, SPSS 19.0 software (IBM) was used to perform system cluster analysis. Cluster analysis technology can directly compare the properties of various entities and classify data with similar properties into one class (27). The spectrum is subjected to Savitzky–Golay smoothing preprocessing, first-derivative preprocessing, or standard normal variable (SNV) preprocessing (28). When establishing the DPLS qualitative discriminant models, we used the Savitzky–Golay smoothing preprocessing and first-derivative preprocessing to decrease spectral random deviation, systematic deviation and so on.
When analyzing the absorbance differences in the average spectra among different regions, we used SNV preprocessing to decrease spectral random deviation. SNV pretreatment does not change the original shape of spectrum, and it is convenient for observation of spectral features.
Result of the NIR Qualitative Model for Five Origins
DPLS was used, and the spectral data from 8000 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1 were selected because of the higher absorbance in this range using the first-derivative and Savitzky–Golay smoothing with 15 points to reduce the spectrum noise (2). Then, based on internal cross-validation (26), the first six principal components were chosen. Table III shows the results of the model.
Table III shows that the total recognition accuracy of the tobacco origins discriminant model is only 76.54%, which does not meet the requirements for practical application. The correct discriminant rates in Panzhihua, Liangshan, Yibin, and Luzhou are low because there are many incorrectly classified samples between Panzhihua and Liangshan as well as between Yibin and Luzhou.
Regarding the reason behind the poor correct discriminant rate, we speculated that the classification of origins by administrative divisions is insufficient or unreasonable or the classification does not have an information basis. Therefore, we studied the similarities between the five origins to obtain a more reasonable or information-based classification based on their main chemical components and spectra to established a better discriminant model.
Similarity Analysis Between Five Origins Based on the Main Chemical Components
The average values of the main chemical components (total sugars, total nitrogen and nicotine) for the five origins were calculated, as shown in Table IV. Using systematic clustering, the contents of total sugars, total nitrogen, and nicotine from the five origins were analyzed. The cluster tree is shown in Figure 1.
Table IV shows the following results: Liangshan and Panzhihua tobacco samples have more total sugars, less total nitrogen, and less nicotine. Guangyuan tobacco samples have medium total sugars, more total nitrogen, and more nicotine. Luzhou and Yibin tobacco samples have less total sugars, more total nitrogen and more nicotine. As shown in Figure 1, according to the cluster analysis of the main chemical components, Liangshan and Panzhihua can be in one class, Yibin and Luzhou can be in one class, and Guangyuan can be in a separate class.
Similarity Analysis Between the Five Origins Based on the NIR Spectra
Liangshan, Panzhihua, Guangyuan, Luzhou, and Yibin were labeled with the symbols LSh, PZH, GY, LZ, and YB, respectively. PPF was used, and as in DPLS, the spectral data from 8000 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1 were selected using first-derivative and Savitzky–Golay smoothing with 15 points. Then, based on the contribution of variance, the first five principal components were chosen. The projection map by PPF is shown in Figure 2.
As shown in Figure 2, the overlap between Liangshan and Panzhihua as well as between Yibin and Luzhou is nearly over half, and the similarity is high. If Liangshan and Panzhihua, Yibin and Luzhou, and Guangyuan can be put into three classifications, the distances between them are all relatively long and the similarity is low.
Result of the NIR Qualitative Model for Three Origin Groups
The results of the similarity analysis between the five origins based on the main chemical components or NIR spectra both show that the similarity between Liangshan and Panzhihua is high, and that the similarity between Luzhou and Yibin is also high. Based on the similarity analysis results, Liangshan and Panzhihua, Luzhou and Yibin, and Guangyuan can be classified as three origin groups, respectively, namely, PL, YL, and GY.
We established a discriminant model for the three origin groups using the same modeling method DPLS and pre-processing method as in the five-origin model. Based on internal cross-validation, the first seven principal components were chosen. Table V shows the qualitative discrimination results of internal cross-validation, and Table VI shows the external validation.
Table V and Table VI shows that, compared with the five origin discriminant model, the discriminant model of internal cross-validation shows a highly correct discriminant rate that increased from 76.54–98.77%, and the correct discriminant rate of external validation reaches 100%.
By comparing the results of the model for five origin groups and the model for three origin groups classified by the similarity of the main chemical components and spectral characteristics, it can be observed that using the information-based classification in distinguishing the origins of tobacco by NIR can establish a better and more reasonable qualitative discriminant model. This conclusion may be extended to other agricultural raw materials.
As shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, Table VII, and Table VIII, there are significant differences in the average spectra among Liangshan and Panzhihua, Luzhou and Yibin, and Guangyuan. In 4250–4350 cm-1, the spectra mainly contain the absorption of C-H groups typically on cellulose, and the PL has a lower absorbance, while the YL and GY have higher absorbance. In 4700–4800 cm-1, the spectra mainly contain the absorption of O-H groups typically on starch and other carbohydrates, and the PL has higher absorbance, while the YL and GY have lower absorbance.
In 5100–5200 cm-1, the spectra mainly contain the absorption of N-H groups typically on protein. The PL has a lower absorbance, the YL has a middle absorbance, and the GY has a higher absorbance.
Based on the information regarding the composition of organic groups and related substances absorbed by NIR light in different frequency ranges and the absorption characteristics of different origin groups of tobacco in different bands, it can be inferred that the PL tobacco samples may have less cellulose, more starch and other carbohydrates, and less protein; the YL tobacco samples may have more cellulose, less starch and other carbohydrates, and a middle amount of protein; and the GY tobacco samples may have less cellulose, less starch and other carbohydrates, and more protein.
The chemical composition characteristics of different origin groups are obtained by spectrum absorption characteristic analysis, and they are consistent with the characteristics of routine chemical composition analysis obtained by chemical measurement, such as carbohydrates. Average spectral information further verifies that the division into three origin groups is an information-based classification; it can also be used for determining whether the classification has an information basis. However, methods such as similarity analysis may be more effective because of the serious overlap of NIR spectra. At the same time, we can also use NIR spectroscopy to obtain content information of the major chemical groups in agricultural raw materials.
This study established a qualitative model for five origin groups, and the correct discriminant rate was poor. Based on the similarity of the main chemical components and near-infrared spectra of the different origin groups, a discriminant model for three origin groups was established, and the correct discriminant rates of internal cross-validation and external validation are both greatly improved.
The analysis of absorption characteristics in the spectra showed that they can be used for determining whether the classification has an information basis by analyzing the preprocessing average spectra. At the same time, we can also use near-infrared spectroscopy to obtain content information of the major chemical groups in agricultural raw materials.
Using the information-based classification can lead to a better model, and the classification algorithm is not most important. The chemical composition or spectral characteristics can be used to determine whether the classification has an information basis. Compared to chemical composition analysis, using NIR spectroscopy is more convenient, and spectrum similarity analysis methods, such as PPF, can be more effective because of the serious overlap of near-infrared spectra. The proposed method has possible applications for other agricultural products.

80 visitors to Scarp
Around 80 people descended on the Isle of Scarp on Saturday as part of the Island Book Trust's annual schedule of island visits and boat trips.
The tiny parking area at Hushinish jetty and the access road to it were crowded with cars from the early morning as a succession of crossings by Seatrek RIB ferried people across in scheduled numbers.
Once on the Island, the visitors spread out to visit as much of the Island as possible before coming together around lunchtime to hear memories and histories of Scarp from Donald John Macinnes and Calum J Mackay, which took place in front of the remains of the house where Donald John was born.
Calum reminded people that at the height of its 19th century population in 1881 there were 315 people living in the island, a population level that proved impossible to sustain and families had to be moved off the Island to villages along the coast towards Tarbert.
Donald recalled that every inch of land was planted around the village with a great variety of crops and there was such a shortage of land that when youngsters walked to school, they were not allowed to walk across the cultivated area but had to go round by the beach.
Crofters with sheep on the island, were also on Scarp on Saturday, gathering their flocks for transport over to the main island and the autumn sales.
