Come Out and Say, "NO WAY"
By Josh Spring
As Jeff Berding and FC Cincinnati try to kick seven households out of their homes, they are also asking our City for yet another benefit. Jeff Berding and FC Cincinnati are trying to steal the homes of people from ages 99 to 5 and simultaneously are asking our city to change the zoning rules for them.
Already they have the City Planning Commission and City Council approving a major zoning change, which allows them much more leeway in construction. Now, they are asking for approval of a major amendment to the original zoning benefit they received. This means, if approved, it would include 421 Wade Street. This is where they are trying to force people from their homes. Sitting close by is 1559 Central Avenue where they are also trying to remove people.
Perhaps they thought the many people who care about basic human rights would not notice this, but we do. There is one more important meetings about this coming up and we need everyone to come out and demand that our City not provide another benefit to FCC Cincinnati if they still plan to displace people from their homes. A city planning commission hearing will be held Friday, May 10, 2019 at 9 am in Two Centennial Plaza on the 7th floor.
On Tuesday April 30th, 2019, FightBack Cincinnati and the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition attended the Public City Planning Staff conference about Fc Cincinnati's request for the zoning change. We still ask people to support our cause and loudly demand that FC Cincinnati agree that they will not tell any of the residents at Wade Street & Central Avenue to leave or threaten evictions. A meeting between the tenants and FC Cincinnati has to be held to be able to reach an agreement. Tenants are also asking that FC Cincinnati renovate 1559 Central Avenue and give ownership to Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses, allowing those currently residing in 1559 to stay there. We know that this would still displace those in 421 over to 1559 Central Avenue, but in an effort to reach a resolution, the tenants are offering this compromise. In order for this to happen, FC Cincinnati will have to pay any associated moving costs and financial compensation to each tenant.
Last year, Jeff Berding and FC Cincinnati publicly told everyone they would not displace anybody. Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME), the region's fair housing watchdog, told FC Cincinnati they have significant concerns that FCC is acting in violation of federal fair housing law. Federal fair housing law prohibits discrimination of people of specific races or color and people who are differently abled. The tenants say, "we are all either Black and/ or have handicaps."
Jef Berding and FC Cincinnati have not responded to HOME. As of now, even after a brief meeting with Jeff and FC Cincinnati on Friday April 26th, FC Cincinnati is still telling the tenants to leave their homes.

Hofstra men's basketball finished their in-state road trip with a 71-64 win against their Long Island Rival Stony Brook University. Hofstra was led by Justin Wright-Foreman, who had 25 points. This win marks Hofstra's fifth victory in their last six contests in the Long Island Rivalry.
Hofstra (9-3) kept their hot streak going, winning their sixth game in a row, and ending Stony Brook's (10-3) two-game winning streak. Hofstra was able to stave off a late run from the Seawolves, never letting their lead go below four despite a back-and-forth second half.
The biggest key for the Pride once again was the versatility of their scoring. The Pride received double digit scoring efforts from four players: Wright-Foreman, Tareq Coburn (16 points), Desure Buie (12 points) and Jacquil Taylor (10 points). This was the second-straight game with that many double-digit scorers. It's also Coburn's third double-digit outing since joining the starting lineup.
"It just shows that [teams] can't just lock in on me because there's a whole team of people that are going to get you," Wright-Foreman said.
Wright-Foreman also continued his rise through the Hofstra record books, moving to No. 9 in Hofstra's all-time scoring ranks.
This was one of the better games for the Pride defensively, holding a Stony Brook offense that averages 76 points a game to under 65 points. Hofstra was able to use their 2-3 zone effectively to mitigate Stony Brook's efficiency within the three-point line. Stony Brook only shot 37.7 percent from the field, despite shooting 42.9 percent from three.
"We had our lapses here and there, but we just stuck with the game plan ... We were just communicating a lot – talking – and when somebody was down, we picked each other up. That's what this team is about," Wright-Foreman said.
Part of what allowed the Seawolves to come back from a 13-point deficit in the second half was their three-point shooting. Freshman Miles Latimer had a very efficient scoring night, shooting 9-15 from the field and 4-6 from three.
Another big advantage from the Pride was the performance of Taylor. Taylor played his most complete game as a member of the Pride, recording his first career double-double. Along with 10 points and 12 rebounds, Taylor added a career-high four blocks, making sure Stony Brook rarely had easy opportunities in the paint. He also played his most minutes in a non-overtime game, staying on the court for 29 minutes despite early foul trouble. This was the most involved Taylor was within the Hofstra offense, taking nine shots on the night, which was also a season high.
The Pride are off to one of their best starts in program history, with a rare chance for them to get 10 wins before Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play even starts.
The Pride has one last game in the non-conference schedule at home against Rosemont College on Saturday, Dec. 22.

Jadrnica Galeb je nekdanji jadralni kuter razreda M6.

Zgodovina
Koreografa in baletnika svetovnega slovesa Pia in Pino Mlakar sta v letih 1934-38 vodila zuriško baletno hišo, dopuste pa preživljala v Dalmaciji, kjer sta tudi jadrala med obalami in otoki.

Leta 1936 sta ob rojstvu hčerke Veronike pri trogirski ladjedelniški zadrugi naročila športno jadrnico, tipa kuter, znano kot razred M6, med jadralci pa kot »one-design«.

Z Galebom, edino ohranjeno jadrnico te vrste na Jadranu, sta sodelovala na številnih regatah in več kot petdeset poletij je z njo družina aktivno jadrala.
Jadrnica je bila v lasti in uporabi zakoncev Mlakar do maja 1994, ko sta jo podarila Pomorskemu muzeju Sergej Mašera v Piranu.

Gradnja in prenove
Po ohranjenih podatkih trogirske ladjedelniške zadruge so bila rebra, kobilica in grodnica na premcu in krmi izdelani iz hrastovega lesa, zunanja oplata iz borovine, paluba pa iz lesa macesna. Notranjost in oprema sta bila izdelana iz tikovine, posamezni originalni deli plovila so hranjeni tudi v depojih muzeja.

Ker je bila jadrnica prenizka za uporabo štiričlanske družine, so jo leta 1958 prenovili in povišali za dobrih 10 cm. Leta 2016 je jadrnica dobila nov jambor, saj je bil prejšnji v preteklosti poškodovan in ni več opravljal svoje funkcije.

Generalna prenova 2020-2022
V letu 2020 so jadrnico prepeljali v Tržič, na generalno strokovno prenovo lesenih delov plovila, od koder se je v Piran vrnila leta 2022.

Stone Lake Bar and Grill opens in downtown Cassopolis
Published 2:45 pm Wednesday, January 12, 2022
CASSOPOLIS — A newly opened bar and grill in southwest Michigan is aiming to be a place where its regulars become like family.
Stone Lake Bar and Grill, 135 S. Broadway St., opened last month for business in downtown Cassopolis. The restaurant boasts a wide variety of food and beverage options, entertainment space and a family-friendly atmosphere.
"We really wanted this to be a space for the community," said Theresa Dyer, manager. "That is what we are all about."
"It's kind of one-stop for everything," added Vinny Kaur, owner. "People stop in and have entertainment, food with their family and just have a spot for everything. We have sports on the TV and pool tables. There is a little bit of everything, and you can come here with your family — that's our thing."
The business is owned by Kaur and her husband, who purchased the building in 2021 to provide a community gathering space. After the long process of opening, Kaur said she is excited to see customers in her booths enjoying drinks and food.
"We know the community very well," Kaur, who has lived in Cassopolis for many years, said. "That's pretty much why we decided to do this. We are here. We know everyone."
Since opening late last month, the business' leadership said the community has responded positively not only to its offerings but to the family-oriented atmosphere.
"People couldn't wait for us to open up," Dyer said. "Things have been going great."
Now that the business is up and running, both Dyer and Kaur said they hope to see it grow into a community mainstay that provides value to the village of Cassopolis.
"We want this to be that family-fun hang out where everyone comes to hang out," Dyer said. "It's kind of like 'Cheers.' You come here, and everybody knows your name."

Q: How to compile AndroidManifest.xml programmatically on Android? I want to know how to implement a apk editor which can edit app name and version.
A way I can figure out takes several steps:

*

*unzip apk file

*modify app name and version in AndroidManifest.xml

*replace the AndroidManifest.xml with the modified one

*compress them into a new apk file

*sign and align it
I can do all the steps above except Step 2. The AndroidManifest.xml file is compiled and cannot be parsed as normal xml file. I know apktool can compile and decompile it but I cannot find a easy way to run apktool on Android after several hours searching. I also cannot find any open-source apk editors(what I need is not only a apk editor, I want to develop another app based on it).

A: Finally I find some projects for reading and writing AXML(Android XML) and resources.arsc:

*

*ArscEditor

*axml
So I can wirte an apk builder with them. For more information, see my repo Auto.js-ApkBuilder.

Q: Predicting the job switching period of an employee I have a machine learning problem to solve. Given the data about employees, is there a way by which we could possibly predict that when an employee is going to switch his current job?
We can make use of all the publicly available data like the user's public profile on LinkedIn, Stack Overflow, Github etc. (Not sure if we even need these profiles or not). Also, if there is a way to solve the problem using Machine Learning, please suggest me what model should I use for it and the input variable involved.
My current approach involves using a user-user collaborative filtering where we try to predict the employees switching period based on the switching period of similar employees in his/her neighborhood. The parameters that can be used to find similarity among the employees could be:

*

*The time they have spent in their previous companies.

*Their qualifications, like number of degrees, types of companies they have worked in etc.

*Total years of experience.

*Location of the users.

I have't thought deep into the problem yet. I wanted some suggestions before starting with it. Any kind of help on this question will be really appreciated.

A: This is not really a question one can answer on SO, since a full solution will require iterations by a data scientist looking at the data, an progressively building out a model.
The best we can do in this context is to provide an initial approach that one might follow in the first iterations.  I will make such an attempt here:
It is my guess that the signals that will turn out to be salient will not be deeply interacting (this is a good thing, means we can arrive at a model even with a very large number of features with much less data).  So a classifier simple classifier like naive-bayes would suffice.
The features themselves will be the trick.  It is my intuition that basic demographic data (like years worked, and years at prior company) etc. combined into a few features that could provide some background estimate of the likely hood of switching jobs  (for example the percentage that the current job stay is of the average over prior job stays, etc.)  But the real timely indicators will probably come from social signals like changes to ones linked-in profile, number of new linked-in contacts created per week, spikes in tweeting behavior, etc.
The idea here would be to create dozens of hypotheses about things people do when getting ready to switch jobs, and the creating data features that could detect such shifts.
After building the best demographic model I could, and building the best social signals model I could, then I would look for ONE level of interacting features.
Specifically I would look to see if there were secondary tempering signals that would suggest cases where a social signal did or did not indicate a job move.
One would use ones training data to search for all pairs of features where P(job-change|f1) was quite different from P(job-change|f1,f2).  These are cases where a secondary signal is providing confirming evidence of intent to change jobs, or an alternate explanation for the signal.
e.g. for example a spike is tweets is an interesting signal, and is more interesting in the context of a edits the the social profiles on line, but is less interesting in the context of an annual conference where many of their peers in the same linked-in groups also show a spike in postings.
It is the idiosyncratic analysis of these signals that will really pay off in the biggest ways.

MEGTEC signs agreement with Furnace Engineering
By Furnace Engineering 16 February 2006
Contact Furnace Engineering
MEGTEC Systems has signed an agreement with Furnace Engineering Pty Ltd , an Australian company, to be the exclusive sales representative for its air pollution control products in Australia and New Zealand.
Furnace Engineering will represent MEGTEC in the following industries: metals, mining, pipe and wire production, pharmaceutical production, chemical production, automotive parts and accessories, hardwood veneer and plywood manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, paint, coatings and engraving.
The agreement includes provisions that will allow the eventual manufacturing of MEGTEC's regenerative thermal oxidisers at Furnace Engineering facilities.
"The goal of the partnership is to use the relationships Furnace Engineering has in markets where MEGTEC is not actively participating, as a way to promote our air pollution control products," said Gerald Norz, director of service for MEGTEC.
"We currently sell to the printing and mining markets in the region, but want to expand into the metals and automotive sectors, as well as others. This partnership will enable us to do that."
Furnace Engineering is based in Melbourne and has sales and service centers in both Sydney and Adelaide. It is a designer and manufacturer of heat processing technology.
Whether the need is for a single furnace or total turnkey system, the company has established itself as a single source for heat processing and plant construction expertise.
"Furnace Engineering and MEGTEC Systems are both committed to producing quality products and leading-edge technology that provide unique benefits to our customers," said Richard Simpson, managing director of Furnace Engineering.
"MEGTEC's product range complements our products. Coupled with this is our ability to offer manufacturing and service support that could assist in local projects requiring thermal oxidisers.
"Each of these aspects serves to benefit customers and that's why this partnership is so appropriate."
MEGTEC customers in Australia and New Zealand are supported through its office in Melbourne, which is staffed with four service technicians, sales personnel and office staff.
Round-the-clock service and availability are key components of MEGTEC's corporate values and mission.
"When you pair the commitment to quality that both of our companies share, it creates an exciting opportunity for us to work together in bringing state-of-the-art emission control innovation to the marketplace," Mr Norz said.
Because of its commitment to high quality in both design and manufacturing, Furnace Engineering has earned the Australian Standards ISO 9001 Quality endorsement.
From conceptual design to fabrication, installation and testing of sophisticated control systems, the company¹s attention to detail has proven to be a major contributor to its excellent record of product reliability.
Its product categories include heat-treating, metal melting, metallurgy, ovens, induction heating and induction melting.
MEGTEC offers a complete choice of proven environmental control technologies, including catalytic technologies, recuperative and regenerative systems.

Q: How should I expand a div using jquery when clicked on image? I'm working on an image grid. Here is my HTML code:
HTML

What I'm trying to achieve is whenever I click on an image: a div should expand just like similar to Google image. How should I achieve it using jquery?
I earlier tried to implement this feature using pure CSS but after that what was happening was, when I clicked on any image the div was expanding in each row. It was not behaving like google images do. It would be great if someone can help me out in this.

A: See this.

// You can also use `$` instead of `jQuery` if you are sure that variable is
// not occupied by another library. This `$(callback)` shortcut attaches a
// callback to the DOM load event. It's the same as `$(document).ready(callback)`,
// but shorter. It passed the jQuery object to the callback so we can safely
// use `$` inside of the callback.
jQuery(function($) {
  $('.posts').on('click', '.post-toggle', function() {
    // This is called a delegated event. The handler is attached to
    // the `<ul class="posts">`, so you only need one event handler.
    // But the callback is only executed if `<li class="post">` is in
    // the event chain. It's not only more efficient with memory but
    // also works automagically if posts get added or deleted.

    // `this` is the targetted element, the `post-toggle`. It's a normal
    // DOM element object so we convert it to a jQuery object with
    // `$(this)`.

    // `closest('.post')` finds the closest ancestor with class `post`.

    // `find('.post-content')` finds the closes descendant with class `post-content`.

    // `toggle()` toggles visibility using the `display` property.
    $(this).closest('.post').find('.post-content').toggle();
  });
});
ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.clearfix:after {
  content: '';
  clear: both;
  display: table;

By combining human-centric machine learning and intelligent context generation, contextere is developing an intelligent personal agent capable of delivering actionable insights at the point of service. Its industrial software weaves together the power of AI and IoT data to give blue collar workers the right information, at the right time, on the right device. Here, Gabe Batstone, contextere CEO shares a vision of the future that empowers workers through automation.
70% of an industrial worker's day is characterized as 'non-productive' time.
The skills gap continues to widen as millions of youth struggle to find meaningful work across the globe.
Threat of workplace injury: the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada reports that in 2015 there were 852 workplace deaths across Canada.
Labour structures that are slow to adapt to change.
Shareholders who prioritize financial returns.
Technologists who believe that hi-tech solutions will cure all ills.
Governments who want economic growth and innovation but not at the expense of jobs.
It's clear that modernizing in this context is an uphill battle for the blue-collar workforce. And it's because these jobs — where warm hands touch cold steel —are relatively the same as they were 20 years ago that the industry was ready for a leap forward.
Skynet. Rise of the robots and automation — which promises increased productivity and convenience, but not without the sobering realities of a fully automated world.
Iron Man. Augmenting the industrial worker by equipping them with the right information at the right time on the right device, harnessing the benefits of computing and combining it with the innate human strengths of curiosity, creativity and empathy.
As an Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI) company focused on human performance, we're partial to the latter. By combining human ingenuity with AI, we'll be able to improve productivity and safety, and reduce equipment downtime. Technological innovation and job creation are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the strategy to address both the opportunities and threats of a globalized, connected world should be to combine AI and humans. In other words, by putting AI into the hands of humans, we're not only empowering the men and women of the industrial workforce to gain skills and work more safely and productively — we're also fueling a sustainable economy.
At contextere, we believe that this vision can come to fruition by following four guidelines. First, it's imperative that big data become small and consumable to provide actionable insight. Second, in the corporate world, we are often overly consumed with dashboards and data science, but in the blue-collar world what's next is what matters and this is what we should focus on. Third, keeping abreast of the worker's context through the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors is vital to capturing actionable data since data expires. Lastly, in our view, skilled is a state of mind, and all humans are skilled. It's our job to provide the blue-collar workforce with the technology and information they need to execute their tasks.
Imagine a workplace where as you approached an object, intelligent insights about how to interact with that object were presented to you before you even asked. Similarly, imagine starting a new job knowing that you had the smartest and most experienced co-worker in the entire company at your service 24/7 — right in your pocket. To us, this is the 'Iron Man' future. By empowering humans with these tools, it will be possible to augment the industrial workforce, rather than replace it with automation.
As we consider the future of work, we must go beyond technology to engage the stakeholders that are contributing to the barriers mentioned above, recognize the human impact, and analyse how our society can support progression.
We need new social constructs that will treat humans as capital and support the economy of tomorrow. With the World Economic Forum warning that "65% of children entering primary school today will have jobs that do not yet exist and for which their education will fail to prepare them, exacerbating skills gaps and unemployment in the future workforce," it's clear that we need to develop a plan for training and education. We need to reform our education systems to teach students the skills they will need for the jobs of the future, including more technical training as well as a more agile approach to lifelong learning in a rapidly changing world. And of course, we should focus on the social aspects of change and embrace the facets of humanity that elevate us above the machine, such as our innate creativity, empathy and curiosity.
At contextere, we don't see a future driven by massive job losses due to automation. Instead, we see a future that creates many job opportunities through augmentation. The assumption that machines can do blue-collar work undervalues the contribution of employees who make minute-to-minute decisions that impact performance, execution and, ultimately, cost. Having said that, as we continue to integrate new technologies like AI into the workplace, there will inevitably be some displacement that cannot be mitigated. But, if we sensibly manage it through a combination of education, training and technology, the transition can be accomplished without unnecessary harm.
Every human is skilled. Human-centric technology solutions can ensure employees have the new skills they need for the fourth Industrial Revolution. It is through this careful infusion of AI, human ingenuity and societal change that we will elevate the blue-collar workforce into the 21st century. It is far easier to empower employees to unleash their creativity, curiosity and empathy, than it is to teach computers how to be human. We should not fear dystopia, nor should we expect utopia. Instead, we should simply manage the fourth Industrial Revolution, as somewhere a brilliant child is already setting in motion the fifth.

Iberian finale for Masters series
The masters racing season will conclude with an Iberian double-header in October, featuring back-to-back weekends at Portimao in Portugal and Monteblanco in Spain.
The second Historic Festival at the Algarve track (October 15-17) will be headlined by the FIA Historic Formula One Championship finale, while a full Masters programme will include races for U2TC touring cars, Formula Junior and a two-hour enduro for the Stirling Moss Trophy.
"We have 14 races for 12 categories and over 300 entries, which is 20 per cent more than last year," said promoter Francisco Santos.
Also making the trip will be the 500cc Formula 3 cars, with a record 34-car grid for the first such race in Portugal. "This is the category's furthest event ever," said co-ordinator Nigel Ashman.
Six days later the Masters classes, including GP Masters, will race at the nearby Monteblanco circuit in Spain.

70 members back letter to party chief saying candidate's unpopularity risks a Democratic landslide.
More than 70 Republicans have urged the party to cut funding for Presidential nominee Donald Trump and instead shift contributions to Senate and House races.
"We believe that Donald Trump's divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck," states a draft of the letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus obtained by Politico.
"This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump's chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day."
Former members of congress and former senior party officials are among the signatories of the letter.
The Trump campaign has been hit by a series of high profile controversies in recent weeks, which has seen the billionaire's polling numbers fall in key battleground states and several senior Republicans deserting the party over his comments.
Trump said he was not concerned about the potential funding cuts.
"I mean, if it is true, that's OK too because all I have to do is stop funding the Republican Party," he told Fox News.
"I'm the one raising the money for them," he continued. "In fact, right now I'm in Orlando, I'm going to a fundraiser for the Republican Party. If they want to do that they can save me a lot of time and a lot of energy."

A: You need to tell Android when the data has changed, otherwise it doesn't refresh the list view. To do so, call notifyDataSetChanged() from onChildAdded (and later other methods where you change the data):
mUploadItemAdapter = new UploadItemAdapter(getContext(),R.layout.uploaded_material_child,uploadingDetails);
childEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
        UploadingDetails updetails = dataSnapshot.getValue(UploadingDetails.class);
        uploadingDetails.add(updetails);
        mUploadItemAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
    ...

You'll note that I moved the creation of the adapter up, to make it clearer that it is initialized before onChildAdded() gets called.


I spent a total of 5 weeks in Rishikesh, India. 4 weeks studying yoga at and 1 week exploring and enjoying.
The same owners of The Eat Story also own the very popular and always busy Beatles Cafe, near the Lakshman Jhula bridge. They are sister restaurants and even their menu looks very much the same. The menu has fun spiritual and art inspired quotes on the inside. The menu also discusses the benefits of a plant-based diet. A huge is there's always groovy 60's music playing to set the chill vibe along The Ganges River. At The Beatles Cafe, you are able to order special raw vegan meals at the takeout counter- including raw vegan cheesecake. If you're a raw vegan and in Rishikesh don't miss out on that rare opportunity for a prepared raw meal! You must order this meal one day in advance at The Beatles Cafe.
Another great spot for vegans and raw vegans is the Pumpernickel German Bakery and Babylon Restaurant. This spot is found on the Laxman Jhula Road, Near Post Office in Rishikesh. This bakery/restaurant does not take credit cards. There is no exact address or website for this spot. It is the worth the trip if you find it! Seeing a wide variety of vegan dessert options was always worth the 25 minute walk from my hotel and over the bridge for this place. 'Einzelbilder Resses Balls' for the win!

Power gets to the rear through a 6-speed sequential gearbox, also supplied by HKS, and transferred to the driveshaft through a Nismo twin-clutch. At the end, the ATS carbon LSD sends all 600+ hp to the ground.
Overall, there is heavy usage of carbon-fiber and lots of downforce! There are plenty of canards, a front lower lip, side skirts and that big GT wing! The hood is also carbon to save weight, there really wasn't any money spared on this car... Those wheels fit under widened fenders in the front (+40mm) and in the rear (+55mm) and give it a killer stance. The scissor doors might be a little overkill, but add character and flair to an already impressive vehicle.
In the back we have the custom titanium exhaust next to an RE-Amemiya diffuser originally made for an RX7. There is also more carbon here in the form of the trunk lid and the big Type 2 carbon wing.
Inside we have a more simple aproach: Bride seats, a bolt-in roll bar and Nardi steering wheel. And for the last time, more carbon!! Here it's the dash that takes the carbon-fiber treatment, got to match the exterior somehow!!
All in all, this is a great car, certainly lots of money was poured into this projects, but from the looks, performance and aura, I'd have to say it was well worth it!!
Hope you enjoyed checking this S15 out as much as I did, let me know if you have any comments!!

Home Politics Texas officials worry Trump's trip could turn violent
Texas officials worry Trump's trip could turn violent
Sabrina Rodriguez
Officials in South Texas are concerned that President Donald Trump's trip to Alamo, Texas, on Tuesday could result in large protests and violence following last week's deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Trump's trip to the border town is being billed as an opportunity for him to celebrate the completion of more than 450 miles of border wall — most of which replaced existing barriers. But local officials in the Rio Grande Valley on Monday and early Tuesday were expressing concern over the trip and urging for all expected demonstrations to be peaceful.
The City of Alamo on Monday afternoon said its city commission and administration had not been formally contacted about Trump's trip, which was announced over the weekend. And Robert Salinas, Alamo's city manager, urged that all demonstrations be "peaceful and respectful."
Some officials outright pushed for Trump to not visit South Texas for fear that it will incite more violence and disregard for social distancing and mask wearing. The Rio Grande Valley has consistently been one of the areas of Texas most hard-hit by the coronavirus pandemic with a recent spike in hospitalizations.
"[S]uch a public event may trigger similar conduct and further affect the current severe COVID-19 crisis located in Cameron County and the Rio Grande Valley," Eddie Treviño Jr., county judge of the neighboring Cameron County, said on Tuesday morning.
Trump's visit marks the first time he has stepped out in public since the deadly riots at the Capitol. Trump told reporters before boarding his plane to Alamo that he did not want violence and touted the controversial border wall for making "a tremendous difference on the southern border."
James Darling, mayor of neighboring city McAllen, said he understands "that emotions are high on both sides," but also urged for peaceful demonstrations.
"Passions are running dangerously high among supporters and opponents of President Trump," Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez said ahead of Trump's trip to the area. "I urge both sides to keep those passions in check, because ultimately the Rio Grande Valley has a unique opportunity to demonstrate to the world that peaceful public discourse is far more effective than public violence."
Still, protesters across the political spectrum were expected to be in South Texas to express support for and against Trump.
Members of the Hidalgo County GOP were "calling all Conservatives, Patriots & Freedom Fighters" on Facebook and Twitter to welcome Trump to the border area with posters.
LUPE, a nonprofit founded by farmworker and civil rights leaders Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, announced it would host a rally against Trump and white supremacy. The group criticized local officials for not having a stronger message against Trump's visit.
"This failure of leadership will now result in white supremacists freely rallying in our streets. We condemn this lack of leadership. Should any violence occur on Tuesday, all public officials who did nothing to stop this visit will be held accountable for their failure to respond to the concerns of the community," the group wrote in a statement.
While President-elect Joe Biden comfortably won the Latino-majority county where Trump is visiting, Hidalgo County is one of the areas in South Texas where Trump made his most significant improvements in the 2020 election. Trump boosted his numbers there by more than 23 percent compared to 2016, but still lost by 17 percent.
