5 Questions With … Paolo Ferrari, chairman and CEO of Pirelli Tire North America
By Matt Bemer
Pirelli Tire North America chairman and CEO Paolo Ferrari spoke with Tire Review at February's Aston Martin On Ice event in Crested Butte, Colo. Ferrari gave us an in-depth look at the work he's undertaken over the past two years and what the future holds for the company.

TR: You've been optimistic about the U.S. economy. What's that mean for Pirelli?
Ferrari: We're coming out of two years of a rough market. The market was down in 2012, was basically flat in 2013, but thanks to the last few months they were good because we were down 4%-5% in September and October so it's picking up. All of the signs are for the economy to pick up. But, we're waiting for our market to pick up. There were very good signals in December. I'm not going to say the market has recovered until I've seen 2-3 months straight of growth because we haven't seen that in a long time.
So I was expecting to see that December was good, January to be inline and good also and February is not over yet, so we'll see what it is. Generally, it wasn't that exciting due to the weather. So, in my opinion, we'll see a weak February and March will be the true month to see if the market will recover or not. I expect it to recover and be a very good month. Within this context, over the last two years, we've outperformed the market. In the premium segment, we grew two to three times faster than the market – so we gained marketshare. Which is very positive.
TR: What will you offer dealers as far as resources to grow with the Pirelli company?
Ferrari: The most important thing that I focused and worked on when I joined two and a half years ago, was to give them a very good and consistent supply chain. They need to be comfortable that when they're placing orders, Pirelli will deliver the tires in a timely manner and as close as possible to 100% fill rate and that we would do that every month. Not one month or two – every month. That was the biggest project for me to do in the first few months that I was here.
Then we pushed a lot on trade marketing. We launched a lot more initiatives with them, promotions for them and for the consumers, a lot more visibility on the brand digitally has also helped.
If you think about it, we're working on all the major levers of a business. The industrial part – we had a factory in Rome, Ga., but it is relatively small – so we built a big factory in Mexico. Supply chain is giving dealers tires consistently. Original equipment — they have more stock of Pirelli cars out there. Trade marketing and digital initiatives. We work across the board starting with the most urgent things: supply chain and the factory. As soon as we had that in place [we ramped up the other levers.] It didn't make sense to ramp up marketing if we couldn't supply the tires. Once we had the factory and the supply chain in place, we started upping our marketing dollars and that has paid off as far as our premium marketshare.
TR: The next steps for Pirelli would be…?
Ferrari: In the next years, we need to make sure all of those platforms continue to deliver and live up to the expectations. One thing that I haven't mentioned that we're doing is introducing new product. We introduced a couple of new products in the past few years that ranked number one and number three on Tire Rack. So we need to clearly ramp up the factory – it's now two million tires, it needs to get to five million – that will improve our footprint and supply chain. We need to keep consistency with the supply chain and slightly improve it. It's one thing to improve it from 60% to 85%, another thing to get from 85% to 95%.
We need to do a good job capitalizing on original equipment. Right now, we have put together a new geo-marketing platform that tells us and the dealers exactly which car part in their zip code that they serve is there and how many of these cars were fitted by model and by size. So, we go to them and say listen, you're not stocking or buying the right tires for the kind of car part that you have. We've done that for six months now and we need to further refine it.
And we need to keep on scaling up our marketing. We're investing today three times as much marketing money as we did before I came. We got the money from our shareholders because we were delivering on results. We were delivering on marketshare. Despite the incremental marketing dollars, we're actually making more money in absolute terms and percentage terms. It's a virtuous circle that keeps on growing. In the next two years, we're going to have all the Pirelli strategy levers coming together at one time. We'll have a lot of OE positions, a big factory, we'll have new replacement products and more marketing money. Everything will help build the top line, the bottom line because Mexico is going to be an efficient factory, and the cash flow because the shorter the supply chain is going to release our working capital. Why source it from Brazil when it'll take 40 days when we can source it next door. The execution is in our hands, but we're building on platforms that we're building already. We just need to ramp it up.
TR: What are you doing in terms of consumer marketing?
Ferrari: We focus on premium segments and premium areas. We can target our money much better through digital. We have a big digital budget, which is targeted to geographical areas and to the right segments. Within the digital, we tap into all or our assets. Motorcycles, Formula One, the tires themselves, the calendar, the lifestyle and fashion; compared to other tire brands, we have a lot more territories that we can build on digitally. We see that because we measure the engagement on social media. Engagement is highest in Formula One. Clearly, the Formula One base in the U.S. is not as strong as in Europe, but those guys are really engaged. On the fashion calendar, it's the same thing. You talk to people you wouldn't normally speak to about tires and Formula One. We bring them in, engage them, then talk about the rest.
TR: Sounds like you're building a community. How are you going to turn customers into advocates?
Ferrari: Like with all the other levers, we have to take it to the next level. We have our own database with our own consumers and we do targeted emails. I think we want to take that to the next level and bring it to a club or a community. Considering the different segments we have, we probably won't be able to have just one club. If I think about the next level of digital marketing for us, it is even more inclusive engagement with our own community.
We started from a base that wasn't exciting. When we have 50, 60% fill-rate in the market, that's not good. You need to make it better, which is not easy, but if you can make it better, the result is immediate. When you engage in digital activity, you see that Pirelli is a fantastic brand, but we didn't even have a local Facebook page in the U.S. We didn't have an Instagram page. We weren't doing a lot of the normal paid media things. This was all low-hanging fruit to us so we did them.
TR: Marketing seems to be a huge part of Pirelli's future.
Ferrari: There are many differences between the U.S. market and the European market. One is that luxury brands tend to be more conservative in the marketing of their promotional activities because they're luxury. In the U.S., you see a lot of luxury brands do a lot of trade activities but we didn't do any of that. Simply by engaging our sales team with rebate activities and various promotions, people were reactive to it. Of course, we'd never do cheap trade marketing promotional stuff. Whatever we do is linked to the premium brand. So if we do an incentive trade for our dealers, we'll bring them to the Sistine Chapel in Rome, the Formula One Grand Prix in Monte Carlo or some other exclusive places. They're promotions, but they're in the world of premium.
Same thing with consumer rebate. You have to do them with other premium brands for destinations that are very exclusive. So you can cope with the luxury of your brand and your equity with a promotional program, which in the U.S. is key because the U.S. is a deal-making country. Even rich people want a deal. That wasn't in the plan before I came, we put it in the plan and now it's working.
The U.S. is still the most competitive and rational market in the world. If you pull the right lever, especially with the very sophisticated customers that we have in the U.S., the business steers in the right direction. And if you don't, the business steers in the wrong direction.
TR: What will set Pirelli apart in the future?
Ferrari: Everybody wants to be in that segment, but nobody concentrates solely in that segment like we do. Some of the efforts that our biggest competitors do is fine on the premium, but they still have to produce all of the other tires for all the other segments in order to fill out the factory. So, the branding, the operations, the marketing is diluted. We're premium, we don't have to fill out our factories with long-run products. Our factories are premium, they're flexible so we can solely concentrate on premium products.
TR: The U.S. is coming out of a recession. Things must look good for premium marketers …
Ferrari: The premium market is there to stay. Look at the American OEMs like Ford. Ford itself, we don't necessarily consider it a premium brand. They have their own Lincoln brand. But if you look at the models, they have great models. And they're putting more and more technology into them. They want cars that want cars usually 17-inch, 18-inch and up. We're in that market and that market is growing. Ford themselves are pushing into campaigns to bring consumers back to their dealers. Their latest campaign was if you take care of your car at the dealer, the car will take care of you. Tires are part of that scheme. It's definitely a trend that is here to stay.
Some other brands think that if you work hard enough, you will gain fitment in the prestige market. This is not true because we're working now with these guys. We're ahead of the curve. We keep ahead of the curve. Will they gain fitment? Yes, but the bulk will stay with us and some of our key competitors.
The smarter, more sophisticated dealers across the U.S. understand that they have to give value to the consumer, which is not necessarily just price. Will they have to stock a "cheaper" brand, yes. There will always be a consumer that is disengaged and doesn't care. But our segmentation studies show very well that a big chunk of our consumers are tire enthusiasts or image conscious. Those are the two key segments that we focus on. Together, according to our study, those account for 50%. We all want to be in this segment and the dealers want to attract this segment.

An excellent double-length set from Horace Tapscott's Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra – an extremely righteous ensemble that was one of the hippest things going on the LA jazz scene of the 70s! The vibe is free and spiritual, but it also has a wonderful groove pulsating underneath many of the tracks – that heir to the Impulse Records style that Tapscott and other Nimbus Records artists carried on well into the early 80s. The group here features some of Tapscott's Nimbus labelmates – including Sabir Matteen and Billy Harris on tenor saxes, Linda Hill on piano, Adele Sebastian on flute, Roberto Miranda on bass, and Jesse Sharps on soprano sax – and in a way, the album's almost a live summation of all the mighty talents brewing on the Nimbus label at the time! Tracks are all quite long, and titles include a great version of Sebastian's "Desert Fairy Princess", plus "Macrame", "Future Sally's Time", "Noissessprahs", "Village Dance", "LTT", and "Lift Every Voice". © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Biografia
Dopo aver frequentato la civica scuola d'arte Dosso Dossi e aver svolto l'attività di muratore, Salani partì soldato per la seconda guerra mondiale. Ferito ad una gamba, subì un grave trauma che negli anni post-bellici sfociò in un disturbo psichico che lo condusse nel 1957 all'internamento presso il manicomio provinciale di Ferrara. Lo aiutò a superare le frequenti crisi l'esercizio costante della pittura che, in un singolare coacervo stilistico, miscelò le suggestioni onirico-popolaresche alla Ligabue alla ricerca degli archetipi junghiani, dall'orientalismo caro alla sottocultura sessantottesca, alle ricerche teosofiche, dall'ambigua sensualità ad un misticismo dai toni un po' blasfemi.

Fu seguito per decenni dai servizi sociali, ma molto importante fu per lui il rapporto con Gino Andreani, medico e collezionista d'arte, direttore dell'ospedale psichiatrico di Ferrara, il quale lo incoraggiò a dipingere con assiduità e volle quattro sue opere per la sua collezione, poi destinata al Museo d'arte moderna e contemporanea Filippo de Pisis di Ferrara. A Salani fu permesso inoltre di attrezzare uno studio presso la colonia agricola dell'ospedale psichiatrico, collocata nell'ex convento di San Bortolo.

A seguito della legge 180, nel 1979 fu dimesso dall'ospedale e gli fu concessa un'abitazione popolare a Pontelagoscuro, frazione a nord di Ferrara: qui venne ritrovato morto settantenne, verosimilmente per un infarto.

Negli ultimi 25 anni gli sono state allestite mostre in spazi pubblici (Centro civico di Pontelagoscuro, Reggia Estense di Belriguardo, Pieve di San Venanzio a Saletta) e in gallerie private (Langelo Atelier), gli sono stati dedicati convegni di studio incentrati su arte e psichiatria e alcune sue opere sono state inserite in importanti mostre itineranti tra Emilia e Veneto, (da Ninfe e anguane abitavan i boschi e le fontane a Verso Ferrara...).

Dipinti di Salani si conservano presso il centro civico di Pontelagoscuro e la Pinacoteca Bacilieri allestita nel Museo civico di Belriguardo.

Avion Hotel
The entire hotel is only eight metres wide
A globally important work by Bohuslav Fuchs
A massive renovation started in 2017
This very narrow hotel is located in the heart of Brno
Architect Bohuslav Fuchs worked with an extremely narrow building plot, and the way he coped with the limited space in Česká Street was unprecedented. He decided on a principle of continuous space, with individual rooms on the first and second floor surrounding the central core. The rooms are not closed, instead leading into one another across five levels. A café occupies the first and second floors and the remaining floors are devoted to hotel rooms.
The architectural quality of the hotel is underlined by the front facade, which has big windows, porcelain cladding, and white opalised glass. In 1948, the Avion Hotel was nationalised and incorporated into the Československé hotely enterprise and served its original purpose until the 1990s. Due to unclear ownership and insufficient maintenance, it fell into disrepair. A complete renovation was launched in 2017 to restore it to its original glory.

SVRA Brickyard Invitational Attracts Garza, Beatriz, Witherill
May 5, 2016 by SVRA
"Indy Legends" Charity Pro-Am "Rookie Class" Expands to Seven At IMS
The Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) today announced that three more first-time drivers – Josele Garza, Ana Beatriz and Cory Witherill – have entered the "Indy Legends" Charity Pro-Am, the feature event of their Brickyard Invitational race meet at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The trio joins Paul Tracy, Larry Foyt and A.J. Foyt IV as Indianapolis 500 veterans new to SVRA competition in the Father's Day weekend (June 16-19) event. The additions bring the list of professional drivers new to the contest to seven as a special "Garage 34" promoter's option entry for NASCAR champions Bill Elliott and Ray Evernham, who will share a car, has been filed as well.
"The interest in our Pro-Am is strong among fans and drivers alike," said SVRA President and CEO Tony Parella. "Veteran Indy 500 drivers reach out to join us. We enthusiastically welcome Bia, Josele and Cory."
The Pro-Am feature is a 40-minute race of American muscle cars on the Speedway's 2.43-mile Grand Prix road course on Saturday, June 18. The cars are 1963 to 1972 vintage Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs of the "Group 6" SVRA class. This year's entry list is loaded with talent including the Unser cousins – Al Jr., Robby and Johnny – as well as Willy T. Ribbs, Lyn St. James, Geoff Brabham and Davy Jones. Today's entries bring the field count to 26 and SVRA officials expect 33 Indy 500 veterans will compete in the contest. The professionals will be paired with amateur drivers, splitting stints at the wheel at their discretion.
Garza, who won the 1981 Indianapolis 500 rookie-of-the-year award at age 19, competed in the event seven times. He was the youngest driver to qualify for the race until A.J. Foyt IV arrived in 2003. Garza cracked the top 10 in 1984 and holds a career total of 13 laps led. In 88 Indy car series starts he racked up 33 top-10 finishes with a best placement of second at the 1986 Michigan 500 behind racing legend Johnny Rutherford. Another high point in his career was his victory in the 1980 USAC Mini-Indy Pocono race which, along with two runner-up finishes at other races, earned him second place in the series championship at just age 18. A Mexican, his reputation earned him a Brabham Formula One test during practice for that country's grand prix in 1986. He also tested with the Minardi Formula One team in 1987.
Cory Witherill owns the distinction of being the only Native American Navajo driver to qualify for the Indianapolis 500. He earned that honor in 2001 when he cracked the field on the traditionally tense "bump day" – the final rounds of qualifying. Despite starting on the last row he steadily worked his way forward to finish 19th. Beginning in 1999 Witherill spent much of his time before and after his Indy 500 appearance competing in versions of the Indy Lights Series. In six seasons he scored eight podium finishes including a victory in the 100-miler at Nashville Speedway during the 2002 season. In addition to the Brickyard Invitational, Witherill is considering a return to racing as he recently tested an IMSA Prototype Challenge (PC) car for BAR1 Motorsports with an eye to competing in the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Brazil's Ana Beatriz, also known as "Bia" to friends and fans, is a four-time veteran of the Indianapolis 500. She got started racing karts in Brazil at age 12, winning one of her country's top championships in 2003. Ana also entered Brazilian Formula Renault in 2003 and won that season's rookie-of-the-year award. She spent three seasons in the Formula Renault series, scoring three wins and three poles in 2005. After a year in the Brazilian Formula Three championship she came to America to go racing in the Indy Lights Series. She earned significant success there with two wins, seven podiums and the rookie-of-the-year trophy in 2008. Ana was also presented the Tony Renna "Rising Star" award that same year. Her race victories made her the first woman to win in Indy Lights history. Ana qualified for four successive Indy 500s and her last appearance was in 2013. Most recently she has competed in the Brazilian Stock Car series with such notables as former Formula One winner Rubens Barrichello.
While the Pro-Am Beatriz, Garza and Witherill will compete in is the crowning event of the Brickyard Invitational, there is also a festival of other activities. The SVRA will present exhibition runs on the storied 2.5-mile oval by a wide variety of cars including several of the crowd-favorite 1950's Indianapolis 500 "roadsters." The 2016 weekend not only promises a huge gathering of race cars but also some of the finest collector cars. Motostalgia, with offices in Austin, Texas, Mexico City and Monaco will stage an auction of select automobiles from around the world. The Brickyard Invitational will also expand out onto the world-famous infield IMS golf course with car corrals for organizations and clubs united by special marques and vintages as well as its "Shine and Show" car show. Saturday evening entertainment will include a concert by the legendary rock band, "Three Dog Night," capped off by a trademark SVRA mega-fireworks show.
The SVRA has 11 groups of racecars spanning 100 years of vintage machines. The array of entries at IMS will include select pre-war machines, classic sports cars, Formula One and Le Mans prototypes as current as 2011. Race fans can enjoy every minute of the action with overnight camping inside IMS. Pro-Am cars and drivers will also participate in a Fan Walk through the starting grid prior to the opening ceremonies allowing spectators to see the cars up close, take photos and chat with the drivers. All entry fees will be donated to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum Foundation and the Hagerty Education Program.
Brickyard Invitational ticket information: Fans can order Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational tickets for all or any one of the four days of the event online through the Speedway or by calling 800-822-INDY or 317-492-6700 between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday. Fans can also visit the ticket office at the IMS Administration Building at 4790 West 16th Street between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday. Tickets for groups of 20 or more also are available. Contact the IMS Group Sales Department at (866) 221-8775 for more information. Children 12 and under are admitted free each day when accompanied by an adult. Tent camping passes in the IMS infield start at $30 and are available all four days.

The Garwood Legacy Project
I met Margaret Garwood sometime around 2008. She was working on what would become her last opera, "The Scarlet Letter," and she contacted me for help in editing, organizing and polishing her orchestral score for the conductor, singers, and ultimately the 50 piece orchestra. Despite some obstacles along the way, one of them being my brain surgery and subsequent recovery in the Summer of 2009, we finished the project on time and The Scarlet Letter premiered at Philadelphia's Merriam Theater in late 2010.
Peg passed away in May 2015. Her husband, Dr. Donald Chittum, approached me with the idea of collecting, editing and re-engraving Peg's musical output and housing it all in one place for perpetuity. Her commercially published works were easy enough to locate to start the collection, but her largest works, her operas, needed to be identified, gathered, updated and re-engraved. After almost two years, you can now find Margaret Garwood's entire catalogue at Philadelphia's University of the Arts Music Library.
Note: The U Arts Music Library has moved. I should have a link available soon.

The University of Law welcomes first cohort of students at new Hong Kong campus
The University of Law (ULaw) one of the UK's longest established specialist providers of legal education, has officially welcomed its first intake of students at its new Hong Kong campus. The cohort is beginning part-time and full-time GDL courses.
Adding to its eight campuses in the UK, ULaw's Hong Kong campus marks the University's first international opening and will be led by inaugural Dean, Peter Crisp, who is also the University's Pro Vice Chancellor (External).
With its wide portfolio of professional law degrees, specialist legal training and ongoing professional development courses for barristers and solicitors, ULaw has ambitious goals of raising the bar in Hong Kong's provision of quality education. One of the primary aims of launching the Hong Kong campus was to create new opportunities for the city's aspiring legal professionals to attain their career goals.

Michael Jackson: Man in a Jazz Mirror - Part I
By LUDOVICO GRANVASSU | Mondo Jazz
Click the play button to listen to this program.
This week let's pay homage to the musical legacy of Michael Jackson.
It has been 10 years since Michael Jackson passed away and lots of things have emerged since then, but the popularity of his music remains strong, including among jazz musicians (the majority of the tracks featured this week was released after his passing).
If you are concerned that jazz interpretations of pop music come very close to smooth jazz, don't worry... that's not Mondo Jazz's fare and the fact that forward thinking musicians like Lester Bowie, Mal Waldron, Geri Allen, Enrico Rava, Vijay Iyer, Ran and Michael Blake or Ibrahim Maalouf have embraced the repertoire of the King of Pop should provide sufficient reassurances.
So stay tuned for 2 hours of covers played by these musicians and many more as well as a collaboration between Michael Jackson and the master of jazz organ, Jimmy Smith -under the watchful eye, of course, of Quincy Jones.

Texas murder suspect arrested in Halifax ordered held following detention review

Limousine driver found guilty of hiring "hitman" to kill wife, lawyer

MONTREAL — A man suspected of murder in Texas and arrested by police in Halifax in December will remain detained following another hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada on Wednesday.
Derek Cameron Whisenand has been detained since his arrest Dec. 30 after police were called about a shoplifter at a business in the city's Bayer's Lake area.
Whisenand was arrested after a short chase and gave a false name to authorities, according to an IRB transcript of his initial detention review.
He was evasive with police and was subsequently turned over to the Canada Border Services Agency. He will remain detained until another detention review and admissibility hearing on Jan. 24.
Continued detention was ordered Wednesday after he was deemed a flight risk and a danger to the Canadian public.
Whisenand, who wasn't represented by a lawyer at the hearing in Montreal, appeared via video link and requested an adjournment to find legal representation.
The 28-year-old is a suspect in the death of a 78-year-old man in Eastland County, Texas, about 170 kilometres southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
In July, RCMP warned that he had illegally crossed into Canada near Haskett, Man., sometime during the week of June 24.
According to a transcript of his detention review last week, arrest warrants were issued in early July on both sides of the border after the Canada Border Services Agency was notified of the discovery of his abandoned vehicle.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more fun bunch of people than the folks who work at Synergy Recycling just outside of Madison, NC. They called on Short Sugar's to take care of catering their annual Christmas party in December, and we all had a blast.
The party went on for several hours, with folks eating and talking and joking and laughing. You can tell from the pictures that these guys are used to working hard, and they take their fun seriously.
This was some of the most fun we've had in months, and we really appreciate the hard-working folks at Synergy. We're looking forward to coming back next year!

Police: Mom found overdosed with baby in back seat
Posted: Oct 27, 2016 / 02:10 PM EDT / Updated: Nov 24, 2016 / 03:10 PM EST
HOPE, Ind. (AP) – Police in Indiana say a 25-year-old woman has been found passed out from an overdose with her baby in the back seat of the car.
Police in Hope, Indiana, have released a picture of Erika Hurt as they found her on Saturday afternoon. She appears unresponsive behind the wheel of the vehicle and has a syringe in her hand in the photo. Town Marshal Matthew Tallent says Hurt's 10-month-old son was crying in the rear of the vehicle.
Hurt was revived with Narcan and taken to the hospital, where she was arrested on charges of child neglect and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Tallent says child welfare officials were called to the scene and the baby was turned over to Hurt's mother.
Tallent says Hurt remains in custody on a probation violation. He didn't know if she had a lawyer.

That would be wonderful but aside from fostering good domestic conditions what can the president do about it? Especially with a hostile press?
Remember he also wants to be reelected, really needs to be to do the policy stuff he wants.

He could, IDK, not have major important planks of his policy position be thwarted by deadlines we all knew were coming months if not years before, not cave on all of his threats within a week of making them, plan ahead for obstruction and have a game plan to try and steamroll it, push very reasonable legislation like mandatory e-verify from the bully pulpit, actually have the deportation raids he keeps threatening but isn't doing as a matter of normal business for no apparent reason, direct the DOJ to trustbust and go after anti-male university stuff with title IX... stuff like that. Ok, so they want the government funded and won't give you a wall? How about mandatory e-verify at least.

Am I speaking Swahili? I'm talking about assigning electoral college votes proportionally instead of all-or-nothing. Do that, and little states like New England, Maryland, Delaware, and the cubes DO get a boost in importance, rather than all the focus being on wooing an extra 1 percent in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
I'm not talking about abolishing the electoral college. I'm talking about something that doesn't even technically require any new laws to be passed at all, though a few states do have laws requiring electors to vote as I suggest.
Whether conservatives have an advantage in THAT system is debatable, but under the current system the advantage is random and determined by hanging chads in Florida; that cannot be the intention of the institution.

Remarks by Attorney General William P. Barr on Census Citizenship Question
Thank you, Mr. President, and congratulations on today's Executive Order, which will ensure that we finally have an accurate understanding of how many citizens and non-citizens live in our country.
As the Supreme Court recognized, it would be perfectly lawful for the federal government to ask on the census whether individuals are citizens of the United States. It is entirely reasonable to want to know how many citizens and non-citizens there are in the United States. In fact, the federal government has routinely asked questions related to citizenship dating back to the 1820s. But while the Supreme Court correctly recognized that it would be entirely appropriate to include a citizenship question on the census, it nevertheless held that the Commerce Department did not adequately explain its decision to do so for the 2020 decennial census.
Because as the Supreme Court recognized, the defect in Secretary Ross's decision was curable with a better record, the President asked me to work with Secretary Ross to determine whether there remained any viable path for including a citizenship question on the 2020 census. I did so. In my view, the government has ample justification to inquire about citizenship status on the census and could plainly provide rationales for doing so that would satisfy the Supreme Court. There is thus no question that a new decision to add the question would ultimately survive legal review.
The problem is that any new decision would be subject to immediate challenge as a new claim in the three ongoing district court cases. In addition, there are injunctions currently in place that forbid adding the question. There is simply no way to litigate these issues and obtain relief from the current injunctions in time to implement any new decision without jeopardizing our ability to carry out the census itself, which we are not going to do. So, as a practical matter, the Supreme Court's decision closed all paths to adding the question to the 2020 decennial census. Put simply, the impediment was logistical, not legal. We simply cannot complete the litigation in time to carry out the census, including appeals. (HK-47: This is the important part.)
One other point on this. Some in the media have been suggesting — in the hysterical mode of the day — that the Administration has been planning to add the citizenship question to the census by executive fiat without regard for contrary court orders or what the Supreme Court might say. This has been based on rank speculation and nothing more. As should be obvious, that was never under consideration. We have always accepted that a new decision to add a citizenship question to the census would be subject to judicial review.
Turning to today, I applaud the President for recognizing in his Executive Order that including a citizenship question on the census is not the only way to obtain this vital information. The course the President has chosen today will bring unprecedented resources to bear on determining how many citizens and non-citizens are in our country and will yield the best data the government has had on citizenship in many decades. That information will be useful for countless purposes, as the President explained in his remarks today. For example, there is a current dispute over whether illegal aliens can be included for apportionment purposes. Depending on the resolution of that dispute, this data may possibly prove relevant. We will be studying the issue.
Congratulations again, Mr. President, on taking this effective action.
Aaaand Trump just signed an Executive Order to negate the citizenship question on the census and go for a more compiled system of accessing the requisite information through all other available departments. Nice try, though!

Trump, 'not backing down' in effort to count citizens amid census fight, announces executive order

President Trump, speaking at the White House on Thursday, announced that he would "immediately" issue an executive order to get an accurate count of non-citizens and citizens in the United States -- a measure Trump said would be "far more accurate" than relying on a citizenship question in the 2020 census.
The move would make use of "vast" federal databases and free up information sharing among all federal agencies concerning who they know is living in the country, Trump said.
"Today I'm here to say we are not backing down in our effort to determine the citizenship status of the United States population," the president told reporters in the Rose Garden, after slamming "far-left Democrats" seeking to "conceal the number of illegal aliens in our midst."
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BRACE IN 10 CITIES ACROSS COUNTRY, AS ICE PLANS RENEWED DEPORATION RAIDS
"We will leave no stone unturned," Trump asserted. He called legal opposition to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census "meritless," but said the ongoing judicial morass in several federal district courts made it logistically impossible to resolve the matter before the 2020 census forms needed to be printed.
Speaking after Trump, Attorney General Bill Barr said the information collected via the executive order could be useful in determining the makeup of the Electoral College and congressional apportionment.
That information will be used for countless purposes. For example, there is a current dispute over whether illegal aliens can be included for apportionment purposes. ... We will be studying this issue," Barr said.
Census counts -- which by law include illegal immigrants -- have been used to determine the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives for the next 10 years, the number of electors afforded each state in the Electoral College and the distribution of some $675 billion in federal spending.
The Census Bureau's own experts have said requiring information about citizenship would discourage illegal immigrants from participating and lead to a less accurate count. That, in turn, would redistribute money and political power away from many cities led by Democrats where immigrants tend to cluster.
HERE'S WHY THE UPCOMING IMMIGRATION RAIDS ARE BEING ANNOUNCED IN ADVANCE
Barr also agreed with Trump that the Supreme Court decision last month posed insurmountable "logistical" -- but not "legal" -- barriers to asking the citizenship question on the census. The government already has started the lengthy and expensive process of printing the census questionnaire without the question.
Additionally, Barr slammed media reports that the White House would issue an executive order in an attempt to illegally force a citizenship question on the census. "In the hysterical mode of the day," Barr said, media outlets speculated that Trump simply would add the question to the census unilaterally.
"This has never been under consideration," Barr said.
Many Democrats promptly characterized the president's move as a "retreat," and condemned the news conference. Others vowed to consider challenging the executive order in court.
"President Trump is so intent on intimidating communities of color that even when the courts and rule of law thwart him, he still tries to persist in his ham-handed ways," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. "The president's retreat on adding the misguided citizen question to the census was long overdue and is a significant victory for democracy and fair representation. Every person must be counted and no one should be intimidated by the president and his capricious behavior."
HOUSE DEMS PREPARE TO HOLD TRUMP, BARR IN CONTEMPT OVER CENSUS QUESTION
Trump had emphasized his exasperation at the situation earlier in the day at a White House conference focused on social media censorship of conservatives.
"We spend $20 billion on a census," Trump told attendees. "They go through houses, they go up, they ring doorbells, they talk to people. How many toilets do they have? How many desks do they have? How many beds? What's their roof made of? The only thing we can't ask is, are you a citizen of the United States. Isn't it the craziest thing?"
DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec told Fox News that Trump's "alternative path" ended the legal fight over the citizenship question.
"The Supreme Court held that Secretary Ross reasonably concluded that including the citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census would provide the most complete and accurate citizenship information, but it invalidated his decision to include that question on other grounds," Kupec said.
She added: "The Department of Justice disagrees with the Supreme Court's decision. Today's Executive Order represents an alternative path to collecting the best citizenship data now available, which is vital for informed policymaking and numerous other reasons. Accordingly, the Department will promptly inform the courts that the Government will not include a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census."
Kristen Clarke, the executive director and president of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which has challenged the citizenship question in court, told Fox News she had "grave concerns about the administration's continued dogged pursuit of citizenship information for what appear to be improper, discriminatory and unconstitutional uses."
"There simply was no legally sound basis that would have allowed President Trump to make an end run around the Supreme Court's decision blocking the citizenship question on the Census," Clarke said. "By prolonging this battle, the administration has sowed chaos and confusion. ... We will use every tool in our arsenal to police the administration should their executive action violate constitutional or legally-protected rights."
The president had said last week that he was "very seriously" considering an executive order to try to force the citizenship question's inclusion.
Earlier Thursday, ABC News first reported that Trump would "back down" from his efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, and instead would "take executive action that instructs the Commerce Department to obtain an estimate of U.S. citizenship through other means."
Multiple sources confirmed that reporting to Fox News.
Trump's administration has faced numerous roadblocks to adding the question, beginning with the ruling by the Supreme Court temporarily barring its inclusion on the grounds that the government's justification was insufficient. The court challenged the reasoning given that the Justice Department wanted the question to better enforce the Voting Rights Act.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Supreme Court's four more liberal members in last month's decision and was openly skeptical about that justification.
A federal judge on Wednesday also rejected the Justice Department's plan to replace the legal team fighting for inclusion, a day after another federal judge in Manhattan issued a similar ruling, saying the government can't replace nine lawyers so late in the dispute without satisfactorily explaining why.
The Trump administration had given conflicting signals on the subject -- initially planning to print the census forms without the citizenship question and then renewing the push to include it.
Trump has offered several explanations for why he believed the question was necessary to include in the once-a-decade population count.
"You need it for Congress, for districting. You need it for appropriations. Where are the funds going? How many people are there? Are they citizens? Are they not citizens? You need it for many reasons," he told reporters last week.
Fox News' Bill Mears, John Roberts, Mike Emanuel, Ronn Blitzer and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ironically, them dragging their feet on this has made things a lot worse for them. For years now, you could do pretty much anything related to the government, while openly declaring yourself an illegal immigrant. Now that Trump wants to just pull the information from all other departments, and have it sent to the commerce department, a lot of illegal immigrants who could have just gotten by with selecting "no" on the census question, will now be detected because they registered for some kind of benefit as an illegal immigrant.

National Mall and Memorial Parks
Fun Facts About Snow Removal at the National Mall

Subscribe | What is RSS
News Release Date: January 26, 2016
Contact: Mike Litterst, 202-306-4166
WASHINGTON—As the National Mall digs out from last week's historic snowstorm, National Park Service crews are moving 8.25 million cubic feet of snow from the memorials, roads, parking lots and sidewalks, which is enough to fill the Washington Monument 18.4 times. And the weight of that snow is 1.6 times heavier than the entire Lincoln Memorial.
Crews take special care when shoveling at the monuments and memorials to ensure that these icons are not chipped or damaged, especially the soft Colorado Yule marble of the Lincoln Memorial steps, or the pink Tennessee marble of the floors at the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials. National Park Service maintenance crews use a concrete-friendly calcium magnesium compound to melt snow and ice on sidewalks, and a salt sand mixture to melt snow and ice on roadways.
Here's a look at the numbers from our "Math Rangers," based on a snowfall of 20″:
Sidewalks - 55 miles at an average of 5 feet wide = 2.42 million cubic feet of snow
Roads - 47 lane miles = 3.73 million cubic feet of snow
Memorial plazas and steps - 600,000 square feet = 1.0 million cubic feet of snow
Parking lots - 15 acres = 1.1 million cubic feet of snow
That's a total of 8.25 million cubic feet of snow, enough to fill the interior of the Washington Monument more than 18 times! By weight, assuming 15 pounds per cubic foot of settled snow was handled, that equates to 123,750,000 pounds (61,875 tons) of snow, meaning crews have removed snow that is 1.6 times heavier than the entire Lincoln Memorial.
To put this all in perspective, in the Greater Washington Area alone, the National Park Service manages 700 parks, which range in size from neighborhood national parks on Capitol Hill and in Anacostia to parks like Prince William Forest Park and Catoctin Mountain Park farther outside of D.C. They include stables, greenhouses, marinas, golf courses, tennis courts, and treasured monuments and memorials. In all, National Park Service crews are working to clear and treat nearly 300 miles of roads, 155 bridges, and more than 100 miles of sidewalks.

Mysterious disappearance: There are conflicting reports over where Tia Sharp, 12, was last seen
Murder squad detectives yesterday questioned the last man known to have seen missing schoolgirl Tia Sharp.
Stuart Hazell, 37, was taken to a police station to clarify his statement about the 12-year-old's movements before she vanished.
The convicted drug-dealer is the boyfriend of Tia's grandmother, Christine Sharp, and lives with her at the house where the schoolgirl stayed on the eve of her disappearance.
He was alone in the property in New Addington, South London, with Tia shortly before she vanished on Friday.
Mr Hazell showed no emotion and declined to comment as two detectives led him from the house to an unmarked car.
He was not handcuffed and was last night returned to the house by officers after almost two and a half hours.
While Mr Hazell was with police, Tia's uncle David Sharp posted a message of support for him on the Facebook page Help Find Tia.
Mr Sharp wrote: 'Stuart has done nothing wrong the police are doing their job he has got to make a formal statement that's all so stop pointing your fingers we are not the sick family you are trying to make out so if you are not willing to help find Tia LEAVE THIS SITE.'
The development came a few hours after police used a sniffer dog to search the property. Most of Tia's family left the terraced property during the 20-minute search, but her grandmother and Mr Hazell remained inside.
Four dogs also scoured woodland 400 yards from Mrs Sharp's house. The search came as another of Tia's grandmothers spoke of her concern over apparent 'discrepancies' surrounding accounts of the schoolgirl's movements.
Tia's family have told police she left Mrs Sharp's home alone at midday on Friday to buy flipflops from Croydon's Whitgift shopping centre five miles away.
But relatives of painter and decorator Mr Hazell said he told them that he walked her to a tram stop.
Angie Niles, 69, whose son David Niles is Tia's stepfather, said: 'We're worried sick, and I just don't understand, why all these discrepancies?
'It's all changing, where she was, who spoke to her, and even what she was wearing. Everyone just needs to be open now.'

Interview: Stuart Hazell accompanies police today
Chief Superintendent Neil Basu said officers are poring over hours of CCTV footage from trams, buses and Croydon's Whitgift Centre.
He revealed a witness has come forward to say he saw Tia leaving her grandmother's home alone at noon last Friday.
Mother charged after children, two and three, die after... 'I told Shafilea to run but she froze. He pushed her into...
Asked if she 'must be somewhere local', Mr Basu replied: 'I do not feel she would've left the area. We are concentrating our search on where she was last seen on CCTV.'
More than 100 officers have been taken off Olympic duty to join the hunt as fears grow Tia will not be found alive.
Mr Hazell was jailed for two years and ten months in 2003 for supplying crack cocaine.
Scotland Yard confirmed a man had been interviewed 'as a potential witness'.

Loved: Tia was last seen leaving her grandmother's home in south-east London on Friday
Metropolitan Police area commander Neil Basu today said Scotland Yard has received more than 300 calls and 60 reported sightings of Tia.
But Mr Basu today said police could not be 'absolutely sure' who the last person to see Tia on the estate was.
He stressed the investigation remains a missing persons inquiry, with no suspects, adding: 'I am looking to find Tia safe and well.'
Entrances to Birchwood have been sealed off with police tape while four specialist trained dog handlers carrying long sticks have been searching the woodland since last night hunting for clues to help them trace the 12 year-old.
Inspector Dave Shaw, of the Met's dog handling unit who is overseeing the search, said: 'We have got four Alsatian dogs here today.
Last picture: A CCTV image of Tia Sharp wearing a yellow vest top, taken on the day before she went missing, has been issued by police
'We are searching the whole woodland bit by bit. We started the search last night but with an area as big as this it could take up to four days.
'The dogs we have got are victim recovery dogs that are trained to detect blood and can trace human scent.
'But it is just one line of inquiry and we are hoping for the best.'
Detectives are trying to establish Tia's movements in the hours before she went missing, after questions were raised over whether the schoolgirl left home alone.
They plan to question convicted drug-dealer Mr Hazell, 37, the last person known to have seen the 12-year-old, following claims he walked her to a tram stop.
Tia's stepfather David Niles, 29, insisted Mr Hazell had been doing housework at the home he shared with 46-year-old Mrs Sharp when the 12-year-old left.
But Mr Hazell's father, Keith, said: 'He told me he walked her down to Addington tram station to get the tram to Croydon.'
Tia's family have told police she left her grandmother's home in New Addington, South London, at midday on Friday to buy flip-flops from Croydon's Whitgift shopping centre five miles away.
She was at the house with Mr Hazell, her grandmother's boyfriend of five years, who has served time in prison for dealing crack cocaine.
Yesterday a war of words broke out within the family as relatives of Mr Hazell, a painter and decorator, claimed he had dropped her off at a tram stop.
His father said: 'He didn't see her get on but he took her down there to the station.'
Mr Hazell's sister, Sarah Parratt, added: 'He was the last person to see her and he just doesn't know what has happened.
'He said he almost went into town with her but it would have been too busy. He gave her £11 to buy some flip-flops and left her to it.'
Stepfather Mr Niles said: 'Stuart was doing the housework when she left. He was hoovering, he couldn't hear her.
'His father… has it wrong. Stuart wasn't walking with her. That girl left this house alone.'
To add to the confusion, a neighbour has claimed she also saw Tia leave on her own, although the sighting is uncorroborated.
Police have been unable to find any CCTV which suggests Tia, a pupil at Raynes Park High School in Merton, has left the area.
Breaking news: Det Chief Insp Scola said he had been in to see the family and update them with details of the investigation
Scouring for clues: Police officers search woodland near the home of Christine Sharp, Tia's grandmother, in New Addington, London
No stone left unturned: Police pass through a cordon in a wooded area close to where Tia disappeared. She has been missing since last Friday
Entrances to Birchwood have been sealed off with police tape while four specialist trained dog handlers carrying long sticks have been searching the woodland since last night hunting for clues to help them trace the 12 year-old
Hiding places: Police emerge from Birchwoods woodland today, which is less than a mile from Mrs Sharp's home
Mother Natalie said she was still clinging to hope after a candlelit vigil on Monday night.
She said: 'We think she's been taken but we just don't know. My baby girl walked out and she vanished.'
Yesterday police began searching woodland less than a mile from Tia's grandmother's house.
Mr Niles, 29, said the family were 'in bits' as the search for the 12-year-old entered its fourth day and pleaded: 'Just find my little girl.'
Meanwhile, sick internet trolls have targeted a Facebook site set up by the family in an effort to find the missing girl.
Tia's uncle David Sharp begged the cruel bullies to stop 'posting negative and nasty comments'.
He wrote on the family's page: 'Can everyone please stop posting negative and nasty comments you are all entitled to have your own opinions we know! But please for Tia's sake please, please, please do not air them on her page which is only to help find Tia.
Worried members of the community leaves candles and messages for Tia at a bus stop close to where she disappeared
Pleas: Candles, photos and messages written in chalk adorn the pavement by the bus stop where the last unconfirmed sighting of missing schoolgirl Tia Sharp was made on August 8
Sick internet trolls have targeted a Facebook site set up by the family in an effort to find the missing girl
'Once again thank you to all those kind-hearted people that are out there searching day and night posting fliers and putting them in every place they can to find her!'
Mr Niles, wearing a Find Tia campaign T-shirt, said: 'We're in bits, the whole country has helped us and is supporting us.
'How would you feel if it was your daughter? I just want to find my little girl.
'I haven't slept in four days. I just want her home. Natalie is in bits.
'The police have done everything.'
Ms Sharp added: 'We're hoping the pictures will jog someone's memory.'
Racing against time: Police checked neighbours' homes and brought out the dog units today nearby woodland as the search was ramped up a gear
Trawl for evidence: Officers conducted a door to door search for the missing schoolgirl
Dozens of police officers went out looking for clues near to the girl's grandmother's home
Inquiry: Police are investigating 55 reported sightings of Tia
Outside the house a solitary candle burned in a glass holder with a plastic bottle covering it.
Police have been scouring hours of CCTV footage but said they had not found any trace of the schoolgirl, who has never gone missing before.
Hundreds of 'Missing' posters have been distributed around New Addington and Tia's face looks out from most local shops and noticeboards.
At a bus stop close to her grandmother's house, well-wishers have left dozens of burning candles and tealights with hand-written signs asking for Tia to be brought home.
The family, led by Tia's mother Natalie, carried candles through the streets near their Croydon home in a 'light the way home' procession last night.
Yesterday, the girl's step-grandmother said the family was losing hope of finding her alive.
Angie Niles, 69, said: 'I'm not a religious person, but I've never prayed so much.
'I just can't see her turning up alive, I really can't. And the longer this is going on, the worse it's getting.'
Her uncle Mr Sharp, 28, added: 'I want to say to Tia, I just want you to come home. You're not in any trouble.
'Anyone who knows where she is or has any information, please come to us or please phone the police.'
Fighting back emotion, Mr Sharp said she was a 'normal, playful child' with no reason to run away.
'She's a playful child. She's not an adult in any way but she is clued up in traveling and local areas and people she knows,' he added.
'We don't know where she is. Everyone is in bits – I'm trying to hold it together.'
Tia was seen on camera meeting Mrs Sharp's boyfriend, Mr Hazell, in a Co-op store on Thursday afternoon, wearing the same yellow vest top and grey skinny jeans she had on when she vanished the following day.
Deep fear: Police and volunteers comb Spring Park near Croydon for the missing 12-year-old
Unusually, she left without a mobile phone or travelcard and was carrying only £11. Mrs Sharp, 46, said: 'She lost her travelcard ages ago but she's still been taking public transport.
'I can't understand why nobody saw her. There were workmen here in the estate but nobody saw her leave.
'She promised her grandad she would be in by 6pm.'
Mrs Sharp said she still had Tia's dinner in the oven as 'I don't have the heart to throw it away'.
Last night police said they had received 55 reports of sightings of the schoolgirl, although these have yet to be confirmed.
Mystery: The schoolgirl's family said she had never been missing before. She told relatives she was going to the Whitgift Centre in Croydon before she disappeared
Detectives have also been poring over Tia's Facebook and Twitter accounts for any clues.
Mrs Sharp claimed Tia had recently clashed with her biological father, Steven Carter, after he tried to contact her on Facebook.
Mr Carter's brother Aaron, 27, denied claims of harassment last night.
Tia, a pupil at Raynes Park High School in Merton, south London, lives with her mother Natalie, 30, siblings Jack, three, and Harry, one, and stepfather Mr Niles, 29, in the area, but she regularly stayed with her grandmother.
Yesterday officers were searching a nearby primary school and checking neighbours' gardens and bins.

One of the most fundamental aspects of the auditory system is its frequency selectivity - the ability to resolve a complex sound into frequency compOhents. This ability plays a role in many aspects of auditory perception including: the masking of one sound by another; the perception of pitch for pure tones and complex tones; the perception of timbre; the perception of the relative phase of components in complex sounds; and the perception of loudness. Over the last decade there have been considerable advances in our understanding of frequency selectivity both at the physiological and psychophysical level and rapid progress continues to be made. This book summarizes the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Auditory Frequency Selectivity which was held in Wolfson College Cambridge from June 23rd to 27th 1986. The Workshop brought together leading researchers from all disciplines relevant to the topic with the aim of reviewing and consolidating the latest research findings and identifying areas of uncertainty or controversy where further research is needed. The book is aimed primarily at research scientists and research students in the fields of psychology audiology auditory physiology biophysics medicine acoustical engineering noise control communication and speech science. It should also be useful for advanced undergraduates in these disciplines. A feature of the book is that it includes summaries of the discussions which followed the presentation of each paper at the Workshop.

THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED
For one of the few if not only times, I agree with Donald J. Trump; The system is and always has been rigged. In fact, Donald Trump can say that with confidence because he has been a part of the rigging since birth. Mr. Trump was referring to our political system when he uttered those words, however, systematically it is much larger than any political system. The system that I am referring to that is and has always been rigged is our economic system. You know, "The Haves," "Barely Haves" and "Have Nots," commonly known as the "Upper Class," "Middle Class," and "Poor." Historically, the upper class in many cases became upper class off of the backs of others and/ or by cheating the system (rigging). This cheating of the system or profiting off of the backs of others allowed them to become even more economically well off ensuring their future generations would remain in that category. Ultimately, once sustaining wealth was attained all efforts were made to appear legal and upstanding with none being the wiser of the nefarious activities that had produced the wealth. Alas, the rigging had begun.
The rigging also included the "isms" that was mentioned in my last post; racism, sexism, classism, ableism, anti-semitism, ageism and heterosexism. The perpetuating of the "isms" facilitated the further rigging of the system. Certain groups were aided in building wealth while others were systematically and intentionally set up to do just the opposite. In fact, these groups helped to build the wealth of the very people who were keeping their boots on their necks. Yes, Mr. Trump, the system is rigged. It always has been.
Our most recent rigging that came to light is this College Admissions Scandal whereby an FBI probe alleges that a network of celebrities, business executives, and other powerful figures is at the center of a massive bribery scheme to secure admission into some of the country's most elite colleges. How's that for the system being rigged? Think about this scam for a minute and what it says about our educational system. For whatever reason these parents did not feel that their children had what it took to gain admission to these schools, so they felt the need to pay for their admission. The children either knew and went along knowing that they were not qualified or they did not know and were led to believe that they were qualified when they weren't. The "Barely Haves" and the "Have Nots" do not have the opportunity to ensure that their children get accepted into a prestigious university whether they are qualified or not. Heck, many are struggling to get them in there even when they are qualified. THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED. It was rigged for 50 or more people including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman.
I overheard a young man the other day say, "It isn't illegal if you don't get caught," and I was blown away at hearing someone verbalize what I can imagine far too many people think. I was moved enough by the statement to produce a podcast episode about it using the statement as the title of the podcast. I guess that is what all of those Upper Class (The Haves) were thinking when they fixed (Oh they had a "Fixer" too) those SAT scores and other entrance requirements.
In the College Admissions Scam, the system was rigged against students who fell in an "ism" category who were most likely in the middle or poor classes because those who have money and lots of it decided to tilt the scales in favor of their children in order for them to continue making even more money. Yes, the system is rigged. The Admissions Scandal is just one example of how the system continues to be rigged while those who are rigging it continue to play the innocent role and deny the very opportunities that they are cheating to have from those who attempt to gain them honestly. I'm sure that there are countless other rigged schemes out there that are keeping the classes where they are.
Mr. Trump was indeed correct with his assertion of the political system being rigged. It was rigged in his favor. He was letting the world know that the system was indeed rigged because he was a part of the ones rigging it. He made it seem as if it was the media or his political opponents when in actuality it was him who was a part of the very rigging that got him elected. Come on now, how else would Donald J. Trump get elected President of the United States if the system was not rigged for him to win?
As more and more scandals come to light, America is looking sadder and sadder. One would never know that America is being made great again (if it ever was). In fact, it seems to appear that we are Making America Corrupt Again (MACA) (If it ever wasn't).

View from Taverna on Harami Beach.
the return flight departs at 12 noon so will we have to stay in corfu town the night before? We have a garden view room so will that mean we are facing a wall or will we actually get a view of a garden and do the garden view rooms get sun on the balconies?
Is it more expensive to eat out in Lakka and Loggos as oppose to other places in Greece and what time does the flight have to arrive in Corfu in order to get the ferry to Paxos the same day?
prices are similar to other Greek islands. Arrival in Corfu by 15.00 local is recommended to get ferry on same day.
Hi Brett, We were looking to do this independently of Olympic but aren't sure at how to go about booking transfers/ferry etc.. would you be able to help out? We've been a few times before, always through Olympic but would be good to know how easy/hard you found it. Cheers!
Get Meander Travel on the web and ring them....Niki is the contact. She will book the Hydrofoil give you times and organise taxi to the port. Charalambous at Bastas will collect you from Gaios if you ask him.

Q: Set Delegate methods on child view controll I am building an application which should allow the user to scroll through the images. Since I have many images (downloaded from the web), what i doing is I have UP and down button on the parent view, in addition i have the scroll view. Based on the selected option (up or down), I add the ImageClass ( created  a class which extends UIViewController) view to the scroll view.
Now, on the selected view the user can mark a point or do any stuff.
The question is how from the parent view I can call methods of the Uiviewcontroller. I know how I can set the delegate methods but what I want is that parent controller can call any a method say redraw method which would redraw the entire view.
Code:
-(IBAction) down:(id) sender{

    [scrollView2 removeFromSuperview];

}

-(IBAction) down        :(id) sender {

    [scrollView2 removeFromSuperview];
    if(scrollView2 == nil)
        scrollView2 = [[UIScrollView alloc] init];
    [self.view addSubview:scrollView2];
    [self.view sendSubviewToBack:scrollView2];
    [scrollView2 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    [scrollView2 setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
    scrollView2.clipsToBounds = YES;
    // default is NO, we want to restrict drawing within our scrollview

    scrollView2.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite;

    // CSImageView is a class which of the type UIViewController
    imageVie = [[CSImageView alloc] init];
    [scrollView2 addSubview:imageVie.view];
    [scrollView2 setContentSize:CGSizeMake(1500,1500)];
    [scrollView2 setScrollEnabled:YES];
    [imageView release];
}

Now, from the parent view controller I want to call say:
imageVie.redraw(); method
Code for CSImageView
@interface CSImageView : UIViewController {

    NSNumber *imageId ;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber *venueId;

-(void) redraw;
@end

@implementation CSImageView

@synthesize imageId;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [super dealloc];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    // Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

    // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}

#pragma mark - View lifecycle

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

-(void) redraw {
    NSLog(@"I am ehre in the test function");
}
@end

Can you please help me on the same. I am not able to call the redraw method. Any input would be appreciated.

A: First, CSImageView should probably be a subclass of UIView, not UIViewController. You should keep a reference to your instance (i.e. as an instance variable or synthesized property) so you can access it from methods other than - down:.

A: Wow.
I can't say I follow what you've coded, but here's how you do it.
During this part...add a tag to the view

// CSImageView is a class type UIViewController
      imageVie = [[CSImageView alloc] init];
      imageVie.tag = 99 // Any number. Preferably a constant
      [scrollView2 addSubview:imageVie.view];
  ...

Then on the parent
view controller. You can ...

-(IBAction) down:(id) sender {
CSImageView *view = [scrollView2 viewWithTag:99];
[view redraw];

... }

Something like that.
