Republican administrations in the United States have often been serving the interests of the upper classes, says a political analyst.
US President Donald Trump told a group of his billionaire friends Friday shortly after signing the historic US tax bill into law that they all became wealthier.
"You all just got a lot richer," Trump said Friday at a dinner at Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida hours after signing the landmark bill into law.
Trump enacted his first major legislative accomplishment into law two days after the Republican-led Senate on Wednesday approved the tax bill in a major political victory over Democrats.
"It is obvious that the Trump administration is continuing a lengthy trajectory that has defined Republican administrations for quite some time," Keith.Preston, chief editor of AttacktheSystem.com, said on Tuesday.

Sofoklis Schortsanitis (en griego: Σοφοκλής Σχορτσανίτης) (Tiko, Camerún,  22 de junio de 1985) es un exjugador de baloncesto griego (de padre griego y madre camerunesa). Mide 2,08 m, y pesa 216 kg. Schortsanitis fue seleccionado en el Draft de la NBA de 2003 en el puesto 34º (2ª ronda) por Los Angeles Clippers, aunque no llegó a debutar en la NBA.

Inicios
Nacido en Camerún, en la ciudad portuaria de Tiko, Schortsanitis se mudó al país natal de su padre, Grecia, con su madre y su hermano menor llamado Alexandros, cuando era aún muy joven. Schortsanitis comenzó a jugar en su ciudad natal de Kavala. Fue allí donde sus padres le aconsejaron que jugara al baloncesto, ya que a Schortsanitis en un principio, no le gustaba el deporte. Pero poco a poco, la pasión por el baloncesto creció en él y siempre estaba practicando. Finalmente, un ojeador descubrió su talento y lo ánimo a dedicarse a este deporte.

Trayectoria
Schortsanitis jugó a nivel profesional en la Liga griega desde la adolescencia, empezando en el club Iraklis BC, donde tuvo un promedio de 6,4 minutos y 2,6 puntos por partido. Luego viajó a Italia para jugar en la liga italiana con el Pallacanestro Cantú. A continuación, regresó a Grecia para jugar con el Aris Salónica BC.

Después de su regreso a Grecia, se esforzó para ser un jugador de "potencial ilimitado", ya que había scouts de la NBA interesados en él. En la temporada 2005-06 de la liga griega, George Garbolas lo escogió para ser la nueva estrella del Olympiacos. La prensa criticó el fichaje, indicando que Schortsanitis estaba pasado de peso, pero Garbolas desoyó las críticas, y alentó a Schortsanitis a perder peso. Se convirtió en un miembro vital del equipo, y sus actuaciones impresionaron al seleccionador Panagiotis Giannakis, quien lo convocó para jugar con la Selección de baloncesto de Grecia.

Se caracterizó por su potencial en la pintura y por su fiereza. Es capaz de defender a hombres muchos más altos que él utilizando su espectacular físico. Por su gran masa corporal, debe ser sustituido varias veces en cada cuarto. En Panathinaikos ha cambiado el nombre que porta en su camiseta de Schortsanitis a Sofo, diminutivo de Sofoklis.

En 2015, Schortsanitis pone fin a su segunda experiencia en el Maccabi, que empezó en verano del 2013. Esta última temporada tuvo un promedio de 7.6 puntos y 2.7 rebotes en la liga israelí, y 6.7 puntos y 2.3 rebotes en la Euroliga.

En agosto de 2015 se confirmó que Schortsanitis jugaría la temporada 2015/16 en el Estrella Roja, tal y como anunció el club serbio en sus cauces oficiales.

En noviembre de 2015, el PAOK de Salónica oficializó el fichaje del exjugador del Estrella Roja. El heleno volvía a su país, ya que tuvo un rol muy secundario en el Estrella Roja, en la Adriática jugó una media de 11 minutos y con un promedio de 4.8 puntos y 2.5 rebotes. En la Euroliga aportó 4.5 puntos en 15 minutos en pista.

En octubre de 2017, tras superar una rotura de su Tendón de Aquiles que se produjo el 28 de diciembre de 2016, fichó por una temporada con el Aries Trikala.

En julio de 2019 firmó por una temporada con el Ionikos Nikaias.

El 10 de diciembre de 2020 confirmó que se retiraba definitivamente del baloncesto profesional.

Selección nacional griega
Después de algunos partidos amistosos y de clasificación, la primera aparición de Schortsanitis tuvo lugar en una gran competición, el Campeonato Mundial de Baloncesto de 2006 en Japón, cuando Grecia obtuvo la medalla de plata al perder con España la final, a la cual había accedido tras derrotar en semifinales a la selección de EE. UU. por 101-95. En aquel encuentro, "Baby Shaq" frenó por completo el ataque de los EE. UU. consiguiendo 14 puntos y una magnífica defensa que será recordada por contribuir a derrotar a la que parecía ya ganadora EE. UU. En particular, Schortsanitis logró varios resultados impresionantes contra la estrella de selección de China Yao Ming y el entrenador del equipo de Estados Unidos. Mike Krzyzewski.

 4 veces en el All Star de la Liga Griega (2005, 2006, 2007 y 2010)

DVD-VCR Combo Troubleshooting
By Patrick Nelson
i data storage media studio isolated image by dinostock from Fotolia.com
DVD (Digital Video Disc) and VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) combination recorders are useful tools for archiving videocassette content. DVD technology is a more robust, potentially longer-lasting video solution than VCR, which is tape-based and subject to degradation through stretched tape, de-magnetization and environmental problems such as heat. Problems with DVD-VCR Combos can include problems with power, media, recording and playback.
Make sure the device is plugged into the household power supply and is switched on if no indicator lights are illuminated on the control panel. Watch for any power-saving technology that can shut the recorder down when it's not being used. Try the "Power" button again.
Verify that the media you are using is compatible with the device. Most combos record to DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/+R/+RW Discs on the disc side. VHS cassettes can have erasure tabs, so check that the tab is still there if you can't record to the cassette. Watch out for copy-protection technology on either the tape or disc. Often it's indicated on the packaging. Copy protection is designed to stop illegal reproductions, so may block many recordings of copyrighted material.
Connect a television to the "Video Out," "S-Video Out" or "Component Video Out" jacks on the DVD-VCR combo if you can't see video from the combo playing on the television.
Forcibly eject a disc if it is stuck in the combo. Often, manufacturers will create a sequence of buttons to use that accomplishes this. On a Panasonic, you force the combo into "Standby" by pressing "Power" for 10 seconds. Then press and hold "Stop" and the "Channel Up" button together for five seconds, and the disc should eject.

Q: Saving unattached data with Entity Framework Code First I have a situation where I'm saving data from a WPF client application by calling a Web API method.  The flow is that the WPF client calls a Get Web API method, manipulates a bunch of the data on the client, and then calls a Post Web API method to save the data.  It's a single unit of work, and it's a pretty complex object model with several child objects.
I thought that simply calling the Attach method on the data context would take care of syncing all of the changes, but that doesn't appear to be the case.  My question is, how do I save all of this data without writing some sort of horrendous synchronization logic?  It seems like EF should be able to handle this scenario.

If you are not interested in blue and white, we can change them to just white, before sending them to you. I like them with silk shades, but you decide for yourself if you want that look.

"RED ALERT: Deputy A.G. behind 'Fast and Furious' met with President Obama four times during the height of the operation" read the headline to a post  in Doug Ross's DirectorBlue blog on Monday. The post then proceeds to weave a narrative suggesting President Obama was repeatedly meeting with a Department of Justice official "keenly aware" of the failed ATF operation Fast and Furious at "the height" of the operation.
Sipsy Steet Irregulars conspiracist  Mike Vanderbough, quickly picked up  Ross' post, asking "Well, well, well. What do you know about this, Mr. President?" Surely the intrepid journalists at Daily Caller cannot be far behind.
As underwhelming as it is to establish that a series of "meetings" happened without a bit of information about what was discussed, Ross doesn't even get the facts straight on that. A closer look -- scrolling right -- at the White House Visitor Records data Ross is citing strongly suggests he's established nothing more than Grindler's attendance at speeches and events at the White House where between one hundred and several thousand other people were present. Looks like it's to time to cancel the draft impeachment articles.
Ross concludes: "So my question is this: What did President Obama know -- and when did he know it?"
Looking at the complete visitor log entries the whole thing falls apart instantly. The four meetings appear to actually be three visits to attend heavily-reported public or diplomatic events where many, many other people were present.
The three May 19 listings indicate that Grindler was one of President Obama's many guests for the widely attended events  related to Mexican President Felipe Calderon's state visit, not any sort of briefing. Grindler is listed as an attendee of the Mexico State Dinner in a report by NBC Chicago .
The 3rd visit on May 10, 2010, is listed in the visitor logs as a "Large Event With POTUS and Community Leaders" that took place in the East Room. A large event to discuss Operation Fast and Furious? No, Grinder attended President Obama's announcement  of Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court .
While the Grindler-Obama meeting smoking gun doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny, there's plenty of conspiracy fodder left for the truly committed. Maybe Grindler briefed Felipe Calderon? Why not Elena Kagan? All those mainstream media reporters covering those events? Beyoncé after her performance  at the state dinner?
What did they know, when did they know it?
Update: Andrew Breitbart's Big Government this morning published a post titled "BREAKING NEWS on Fast and Furious: Obama Knew In May 2010? " pushing the Grindler-Obama meeting story.

Chinese Industrial Internet of Things Pioneer Neoway Goes Public on Star Market
By Ivan Platonov Jan. 6, 2020
The firm received the green light from the Shanghai bourse on December 27 and has already announced its intention to issue over 22 million shares.
Neoway (有方科技, A17088:SH) is something new for the Shanghai Stock Exchange Sci-Tech Innovation Board – China's Nasdaq-style trading platform that is also known as the Star Market (we said a lot about it in our latest report – download). Not because of the company's exceptional business model or a rockstar-software-firm financial performance, but due to effective trend-tracking behavior and an interesting private equity backers' lineup.
A number of wealth managers have added Neoway to their portfolios by pumping money into the Shenzhen-based manufacturer, including Jinding Capital (金鼎资本), which is focused on consumer high-tech, automotive sector investor BAIC Capital (北汽产业投资), the firm's hometown government's project Shenzhen Capital Group (SCGC) and Kun-Lun Stone Capital (昆石资本), which is renowned for pretty scattered fields of interest, ranging from intelligent manufacturing to Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT).
The list looks diverse. This often means one of two things. It's either a gem that everyone's willing to bet on or it may just be a company that urgently needs working capital and doesn't consider investor homogeneity to be critical. In the first scenario, the financing parties involved are, almost always, those from the headlines. Here, this is not the case. Quite the opposite, industry insiders barely know these names outside of China. We are thereby more likely to attach a label of the second kind to the company.
However, when it comes to investment decisions in the financial world, nothing is more reliable than the core business model and audited financial results (we tend to be idealists). Here are a couple of paragraphs on these two aspects.
Founded in 2006, Neoway is an electronic component producer active across several verticals, including communication system modules (2G, 3G, 4G and, probably, 5G – very soon). It also provides complete solutions for a gamut of industries such as smart energy, retail and intelligent manufacturing. Further adding to the list of in-vogue concepts, we find a claimed connection to smart cities. The aforementioned 'backers' puzzle' is apparently getting clearer.
After a dozen years of development, Neoway has grown into a mid-size company with over 400 employees, more than half of whom are involved in various R&D-related activities. With offices in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia (not to mention the firm's homeland), it claims to have 51 software copyrights, 18 utility-model and four invention patents.
Leveraging these capabilities has been positively affecting its money-making process: the operating revenue grew at a 30.31% CAGR between 2016-2018, reaching an annual value of CNY 557.14 million (USD 80 million) by the end of this period.
Meanwhile, Neoway has some rivals on the Chinese wireless hardware scene. The Internet of Things (IoT) module provider Fibocom (广和通, 300638:SZ) and Shanghai-based Quectel (移远通信, 603269:SH) are two examples of such companies.

As we approach a new age, we discover that the same familiar problems of the past still continue to exist at the present time but in a new or different context. Just like in divorce, although there is nothing new to it, married couples file for divorce because of a variety of reasons, each one being no different, slightly different or entirely different from existing cases. This is the reason for the existence of Divorce Records New York which provides us with access to information about different divorce cases on file.
In the year 2009, the New York State Department of Health recorded a total of 49,816 divorce cases based on the following legal grounds: 9,998 – cruelty, 34,091 – abandonment, 59 – imprisonment, 236 – adultery, 170 – after legal separation, 3,471 – after separation by agreement, and 1,791 – unstated grounds. The US Census Bureau also recorded the state of New York's divorce rate for the year 2009 to be 2.6 percent. This is lower compared to the divorce rate in the year 1990 which was 3.2 percent. With the many different reasons behind divorce, one who is looking for information on divorce records with which to refer from will truly find this very useful. Hence, divorce records dating back from January 1963 can be accessed by the public by means of proper requisition.
Public records such as divorce cases in New York are made available to the public because they are under the New York Freedom of Information Law. This law allows the public to examine public records of the state thereby providing for transparency and ease of access to information. There are, however, exceptions to this law which are applied to records under a specific exemption. Because of this law, public documents are accessible either through the Internet or at the state, county or local office. With regards to divorce records, the county where the divorce was granted is the best place to look for information.
People can get basic as well as detailed information about a divorce record. You just need to provide the person's first and last names and the location which can be a specific state such as New York or you can specify the location to be nationwide. After supplying this information, you can then have access to the people involved in the divorce, their date of marriage, date, time, and location of divorce, the filing number, age, children, reason for the divorce, and related information. Having these data will prove to be valuable to people who are going through a similar case since these can serve as their guide and reference.
Searching for Divorce Records basically involves connecting to federal databases. Court decisions are submitted to these databases which then maintain court records all over the United States. If you want to get a copy of divorce records, you can do so by making a request to the county office or you can search for information online. There are websites which allow you to search for divorce records and then get a copy of the said records for a certain fee. Copies from the county or state office are priced at $30.00 per copy. Online requests are available for as low as $39.95 per year. Or you can also avail of trial periods provided by other websites.
Technology has definitely changed the way people access information. Accessing public documents online such as New York Divorce Records are just an example of how online searching has greatly improved our convenience and the accuracy of our search results. We can also be confident that the information we will get is relevant, timely, and let's just say, faster than the New York minute.

Maximalism was the mood du jour at the recently concluded Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week. For any newbie to Indi-glam, the shows could have revoked images of regalia on acid, with its unapologetic stance on glitz, where more means more.
Adarsh Gill's initial segment seemed to stray from the bridal theme, with slinky and shimmery knee-length cocktail dresses sashaying down the runway bringing to mind a Vegas-like picture, replete with flapper-era influences. It was definitely more of a party look, or a glorified bridesmaid at best, by the time high-waisted pants were showcased in sparkly shades of gold and mauve. Although more fittingly 'bridal', Gill's sequined sari concoctions which interspersed silver with teal and orange brought nothing new to the plethora of choices a modern bride has.
Pallavi Jaikishan was no different than usual in her approach and aesthetic; floral appliqués, motifs with bling and a generous helping of fringe marked her collection where subtlety was a no-show. Translucence was a primary trend in her saris, and the entire line was in a no-holds-barred opulent maharani mode. Again, a gregarious embellishment spree took precedence and paid homage to the impact-loving bride for whom it is de rigueur to look like a million bucks, via a million sequins.
For designe Queenie Singh, however, jewelry played a key part. Designed by Ramona Narang Rodella, the monochromatic evening gowns highlighted Singh's jewellery and ensured a balance. The jewelry wasn't necessarily bridal, but it certainly was celebratory, ranging from oomphy ethnic drop-sets to a ruby-encrusted segment. A more classic segment that veered towards retro, with dazzling hoops and statement cuffs, was a highlight. All in all, Queenie's line could easily find its way into a trousseau.
