text: What's up? Just a few basic questions that I'm sure you get all the time. I am planning on starting a forum for hotel employees like myself that can share stories/network/answer questions and so forth. This is going to be a widely advertised board with the amount of hotels in the country. I have been doing a lil bit of research throughout different communities and found vB to be the best. Only thing is, I'm not sure which package I should get. Bear with me cuz I'm not too familiar with computer jargon anymore. I just don't know how much space I should request with the size its going to be. Also, does vB have a host company they use so I don't have to purchase a server for the house and is that an additional amount? I think everyone gets the kind of answers I'm lookin for. Thanks in advance for your help.

A Gentleman's Collection: The Pride & Passion of Orin Smith
Lot 138
1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Drophead Sedanca Coupe by H.J. Mulliner
- Chassis no. 120SK
- Engine no. GH55
Sold for $286,000
- Commissioned as the Jack Barclay, Ltd., company demonstrator
- One of six with this stunning sporting bodywork; period coachbuilt updates
- Known and prestigious ownership history; featured in many books
- Offered with Rolls-Royce Foundation and RREC Hunt House records
- A superb Phantom II Continental, in every important regard
One of the final Phantom II Continental chassis produced, chassis number 120SK was one of six bodied by H.J. Mulliner as a drophead sedanca coupe, using a variation on a design originally created by London dealer H.R. Owen for Mulliner's competitor, J. Gurney Nutting. The elegant body featured superb close-coupled design, with the bodywork mounted well ahead of the rear axle, improving rear seat comfort while creating space for the style's characteristic rear-mounted trunk, providing abundant space for extended European vacations – for which the Continental had been designed. When the usually side-mounted spare was relocated to the rear, as on this example, it freed the front fenders to be smooth, flowing, and gorgeous, accentuating the powerful length of the car. Surviving photographs of this car when new confirm that it was originally delivered in this form.
Importantly, the car was commissioned by London dealer Jack Barclay, whose badging still appears on the sills and was used as the Barclay demonstrator for several months. It was then delivered to its original owner, Sir Charles John Wilson, the 3rd Baron Nunburnholme, a British peer and frequent Barclay customer in good standing. Particular about his wants, as the landed gentry frequently are, he requested that the headlamp brackets be shortened, bringing them ¼-inch below the "shoulder" of the radiator, and that the floorboards of the car be unpainted! The car was also fitted with very comfortable and sporting adjustable front bucket seats, which remain today.
The origin of the lovely "pontoon"-style fenders, fitted today, remains unproven despite much research into their origins. A former owner claimed that Parisian Rolls-Royce agent Franco-Brittanic placed an order for the modifications to local coachbuilder Henri Chapron in 1938, although Franco-Brittanic's archives record no such order; it has also been suggested that the fenders were the work of Henri Binder. They are certainly French in their style and are most definitely a coachbuilt addition "of the period," having been on the car by the early 1950s, when it was owned by P.M. Gardner of Negeve, France. They flawlessly blend into the car's lines, fully updating, modernizing, and, to many eyes, improving its appearance.
The car was subsequently sold into the United States, where, from 1957 until 1980, it was enjoyed by Frank Allen, a longtime Rolls-Royce Owners Club (RROC) member from Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. It was then acquired by its next long-term caretaker, beloved Rolls-Royce collector, enthusiastic tourer, and friend to many, the late Bob Barrymore of La Jolla, California. The Phantom II Continental remained with Mr. Barrymore at his untimely passing 10 years later and was well cared for by his family until its sale in 2002.
Following its sale by the Barrymore Estate, chassis number 120SK was cosmetically refinished, with new Mason's Black and Pewter Grey paintwork in an exceptionally attractive color scheme, new leather upholstery, and a new canvas top and headliner, as well as refinished interior woodwork. Seldom driven since the completion of that work, it was mechanically and cosmetically freshened prior to its acquisition by Orin Smith as the final Rolls-Royce to join his renowned collection. Its interior exhibits only the lightest of wear and stretching; similarly, the body finish is still in very good condition, with only minor chips around shut lines, and the fit throughout is very nice as well. Further, the car is accompanied by complete road tools.
The car is well known and featured in several prominent books, including Raymond Gentile's The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental (p. 235), Andre Blaize's The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental (pp. 978–979), and Lawrence Dalton's Those Elegant Rolls-Royce (p. 149). Further, it is accompanied by copies of the original build records and information on further ownership history, from the files of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club (Hunt House) and Rolls-Royce Foundation.
Phantom II Continentals in any guise are rare and desirable. To find one so beautifully intact is even more special; this example boasts excellent, long-term known history, with only a handful of caretakers in the last half-century, and retains its original engine, chassis, and body, with attractive period updates. Known, respected, and indisputably among the most attractive of its kind, it is an automobile guaranteed to turn heads on the Continent or when displayed on a show field, in the hands of a modern-day aristocrat.

I thought I should round off the trip by letting you know that we're safely back in the flat in Dundee.
We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at our hotel in Krakow this morning before jumping into a taxi which took us to the airport. Boy, was that a busy place! But, as always, we got through security eventually and boarded the plane 30 minutes later than scheduled. It tried its best but didn't really make up the time in the air (even with a tail-wind) so that, by the time we were through passport control, got our cases from the belt and took the tram to Edinburgh Gateway, it was 13.46 and, yes, you guessed it, our Dundee train left at 13.44! Bugger!
However my faith in human nature was renewed when the most helpful of ladies at Edinburgh Gateway conjured up our tickets for the next train out of Haymarket at no extra cost. This necessitated taking a train to Haymarket (wrong direction!) and waiting 40 minutes for the Aberdeen train – Virgin – which came in 30 minutes late and already packed to bursting like those trains you see chugging around India with folk hanging off the sides and on the roof. Surprisingly we both got seats by using our elbows and charm, but they were 10 seats apart, so I had a conversation with a lecturer in Primary education all the way to Dundee while Mary talked Norwegian cruises to an elderly couple.
Mum (God bless her!) was waiting for us at Dundee station and drove us up to the flat. And that's where we are now, watching TV and catching up on what's been happening while we've been away. As always, we're delighted to be back home but typically we'll be back on the road on Wednesday, up North to see my brother Joe and his wife in Lochcarron and then we'll come back just to leave the car. The train will take us to Scott and Keira's for Saturday night then another train will take us to Mike and Het's in Kendal. M & H will be driving us to Liverpool for a 2 day Beatles tour (which I've always wanted to do) and then we're flying from there to Barcelona for a 2 week rest in the caravan in Vilanova. At least that's the plan!
Ok. Time to open a bottle of Isla Negra and toast a successful tour. I'm secretly a bit chuffed that it all worked out so well, trains, hotels, apartments, trips. Of course, if it wasn't for the Internet, none of that would be possible without a whole world of visits to travel agents and choosing from only what they offer. We recommend a visit to Bratislava, Budapest and Krakow (if only to go to Auschwitz) from our travels, but if you only have one chance, then we both suggest Budapest which was absolutely brilliant!
This is the end of the daily posts for the moment but I'm back in the groove as regards writing stuff, so don't be surprised if you get news from the Highlands and Liverpool.
I leave you with a couple of snaps that I didn't have space for earlier. Cheerio!

"Ride due west as the sun sets; turn left at the Rocky Mountains . . ." And following these directions, young Jeremiah Johnson begins his search for "bear, beaver and other critters worth cash for trapping." It is to become a lifetime journey, a total redefinition of the man. It takes him into a beautiful, awesome, often terrifying wilderness — a wilderness that is curiously full of people, many of them dead.Jeremiah achieves his own position in the wilderness. He loses track of time. He gets a wife, a squaw, and loses her too — slaughtered by Crow Indians. He makes a kind of spiritual contact with the mountains that surround him (there is no making peace with them), though he lives in such intimacy with trouble that he no longer knows what trouble is. Eventually he wins fame in defending himself from Crows, and his very enemies come to revere him—though whether as one of the immortals or as a man they consider already dead, nobody can say. Thus he becomes a legend in his own time.The quality of legend pervades Sydney Pollack's "Jeremiah Johnson," which stars Robert Redford in a role that must be very real to his own mind and feelings. It is a very attractive role, and Redford plays it with a reticence and directness that also seem as much a part of the man as of the performance. That it does not succeed entirely is perhaps less the fault of the actor or of the conception than of a screenplay that tends to be ponderous about its imponderables and that every so often sounds as if it might have been written by the authors of the Bible.The action takes place some time in the 19th century, though after which war, it is difficult to say. To replace the more usual affairs of men, the film concentrates on the power of nature, or the powers that simple men can wrest from nature, and, almost unavoidably, it keeps giving the impression of a literary interpretation of its materials. This is not the only impression, but it is the one underlined by the rhetoric of Pollack's film-making — by his heavy montage, his treatment of landscape, his calculated merging of people and places through interminable lap dissolves.But for all its involvement with academic cinema art, "Jeremiah Johnson" is full of compensations. There are momoments of great beauty and terror and deeply earned pathos. There are as well such not-so-incidental pleasures as John Rubinstein's lovely and serviceable musical score, and a cast of excellent supporting actors.And at a rather important level I can only honor a movie that introduces a French-speaking Indian chief named Two-Tongues Lebeaux (Richard Angarola), or that offers one old trapper (Will Geer) a chance to reverse Shakespeare's most famous stage direction, as he enters, pursued by a bear."Jeremiah Johnson" opened yesterday at Loew's Tower East Theater.
The CastJEREMIAH JOHNSON, directed by Sydney Pollack; screenplay by John Millus and Edward Anhalt, based on the novel "Mountain Man" by Vardis Fisher and the story "Crow Killer" by Raymond W.

I was thinking about it on this disgustingly coldrainy day, one day past last fall break, two days before my last first night in Belk, three days before I turn 22, rewatching some clips, and a very simple thought hit me. Hit me so hard I had to say it out loud to the nobody else in the room.
"I owe it to them.
"I owe it to them."
I owe it to them to show up Friday night, to show up for every game that I can, to stand up for them for a full two hours regardless of the score on that board and the number of obscenities that leave my mouth. I owe it to them in a very different way than I feel I owe any other part of this place-- and believe me, I owe every part of this place (and money doesn't even count).
This team-- not one person, not two people, this TEAM-- and this coach-- and the community they bring together have changed my life dramatically over the past 3 years, in ways I can tangibly see and feel and understand and rejoice in every.single.day. They have given me moments of joy, yes, deep moments of full throttle roaring gut busting pride pounding euphoria that I would love to relive againandagainandagain, but-- more than that, because of those-- they've given me a life within that chapter and into the next, inside the arena and out. They've pushed people into my path that I wouldn't have found otherwise, they've given me friends and mentors and family. Relationships that first bonded with a basket or bloomed with jokes watching warmups or strengthened with screaming stuck in one moment unable to move collective courage inhale exhale inhale exhale. Relationships first written with words suddenly pulled into reality, hereweare, sitting and steeping in stories, creating our own as the hours pass, lazy, wonderful, laughterful.
All of this.
For this, for these irreplaceables (you and you and you and--on and on) that fill my heart, given to me by moments (what happened first where did it begin how did it become), I owe this team, coach, place, people, my feet on the ground and my hands in the air and my throat scratched hoarse. Gratitude, manifested, open ended, soaking through. Regard-less.
I walked from reluctant coldrain into warm Unionbuzz. And it made me think of those nights in winter, coming slowly but surely and steady, like my feet tapping down cobblestone, stepbystep moving me where I am supposed to go.

The 12VDC is mostly a "just in case" is why i got a 12VDC supply.
The drives logic wire to L1 and L2 with a line filter on each drive. They are fused for 1 amp.The Buck/Boost is 1.5KVa. It wasnt doing anything with old control, it was wired up but nothing was hooked up to it.
Ya, iam undecided on what to do with the PLC. There is so much that can be done with Dynomotion boards and C programming, that i dont know if i want another learning curve of a PLC I have thought about using it when i put a tool changer on machine.But, leaning more toward selling it with the old Delta 20 control.
Thanks again for the help,

This issue of NACS-News summarizes some of the improvements in Network and Computing services NACS has made during the 1995/1996 academic year. The demand for communications and computing access continues to grow at a fast pace. NACS is tracking the increasing demand and is making critical improvements as resources allow.
UCI Network Backbone
In September 1995, NACS pulled and spliced a significant amount of new fiber-optic cable around the campus to expand UCI's network backbone. At the same time, the backbone was reconfigured into five switched Ethernet subnets, cabled in a star configuration. These changes not only accommodate current growth in campus electronic communication demand, but also increase UCI's flexibility in responding to demands anticipated in the next five years and beyond. (See the Web document http://www.nacs.uci.edu/communication/backbone-1995 for detailed information).
NACS increased the number of modems in the campus modem pool from 220 to 300 in September, 1995 as a part of our Dial-up Remote Access Plan. To improve modem performance including file transfer speed and character echoing, two additional terminal servers were added to those servicing the modem pools in April 1996. Terminal servers are specialized computers with communications electronics that connect the modems to UCI's backbone network. Further performance improvements resulted from balancing the 308 modems and incoming calls among all five modem terminal servers.
As previously announced, NACS has stabilized the free modem pool at approximately 300 modems at 14.4 kilobytes per second. See the Web document http://www.nacs.uci.edu/communication/Modem_Action_Summary.html for detailed information about 1995 modem changes. Enhanced modem services are now available through commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs); for more information, see the Web document http://www.nacs.uci.edu/communication under "Internet Service Providers".
Network Services
UCI's network is not all wires and data communications equipment, it also includes dedicated computers that service network requests such as hostname to address correlation, mail transfer, and user authentication. In September NACS upgraded the "cpl2" network server to new hardware with over ten times the performance of the old. In March of this year we added an additional Mail Transport Agent (MTA) system which is used to post mail sent via LISTSERV mailing lists. Earlier in 1995 we upgraded the campus USENET News server (news.service.uci.edu). These changes collectively reduce the time required for electronic mail delivery, network computer name lookups, USENET newsgroup access, user authentication and campus directory database access.
EA – Student Educational Access Service
Accounts on our EA (Educational Access) student computing servers have grown from about 3,000 just a few years ago to over 14,000 this year. To accommodate that growth, NACS added a fourth system to the cluster in the Fall of 1995, effectively increasing capacity by about a third. Further configuration enhancements were made in January when two systems were added to handle high-volume "operating system" tasks such as mail transfer and user authentication. We also increased overall EA disk storage space several times to accommodate the additional users and large electronic mail storage need.
Over the summer of 1995 we changed the way students receive their UCInetID network identifiers and EA computer accounts. Students no longer have to visit NACS labs during the day to get their IDs and get started, they can go to any location with computers connected to the campus network. Further, they now use the same ID and password for modem use and logging into the EA systems. This ID is also available to each student as an electronic mail address of the form firstname.lastname@example.com.
E4E – Faculty and Staff Electronic Access Service
NACS' E4E service provides electronic mail and other services for over 3,000 faculty and staff. To meet increased demand there, the E4E server was upgraded in January to a new SPARCserver 5 system, which has approximately three times the computing capacity of the previous system.
NACS Instructional Labs
This past year, we have made several improvements to our Instructional Computing labs and more are planned for the summer. Our classroom Macintosh lab in Engineering and Computing Trailer (ECT) 120 has a new server and has been reconfigured to greatly reduce the amount of time required for programs to load. New user requested software, including ClarisWorks, is now available as well. In the ECT 123 Pentium Classroom lab, we have increased memory and updated software. We plan to move our PC labs to a Windows-NT environment over the summer which will improve system reliability and provide a current software platform for campus use.
UNIX File Backups
NACS has provided a file backup service for campus UNIX computer systems for a number of years. This service frees research groups and departments from having to maintain their own file save schedules and tape archives. In late 1995, this service was migrated from a homegrown solution to a commercial file save product, greatly increasing the efficiency of running saves. This change allows us to keep up with increasing demands for saves without increasing fees and will allow us to offer additional save services in the future for MS-Window and Macintosh computers.

When we started eating a Paleo diet we began with a lot of salads. Since it was mid-spring/early summer it was pretty easy to come up with fresh ingredients and quick meals but as we got deeper and deeper into fall and the fresh ingredients became harder and harder to find, I began to get nervous that I was going to fall back into old habits just to get by.
This week I thought I'd share a few recipes that have seriously helped our family from feeling the "winter pinch" and keep on track and best yet, they're delicious!
First up...
Melissa Joulwan's
Chocolate Chili
from her cookbook Well Fed
|Image from The Clothes Make the Girl
I make Melissa's recipe about once a week and I always double the recipe. It has been a delicious Sunday lunch while watching whatever games happen to be on and it's great reheated for lunches (and that's coming from a girl who does NOT enjoy leftovers).
The only thing I do different from Melissa's original recipe is hold back on some of the chili powder. It's not hot, per se, (and I'm a wimp when it comes to heat) it's just a bit too much for our kids' delicate palates.

So what is Sky Bet Tracker cash out, which has been released as Sky Bet's sports Cash Out option?
The cash out tool is one that started as a new nice-to-have function promoted by certain large UK bookies but is now a staple part of any bookie across the world that wants to retain loyal customers.
Sky Bet have taken that tool and built their new mobile App around it, and it looks and feels really good.
What Is Sky Bet Tracker Cash Out And How Do I Use It?
The Sky Bet tracker cash out system works in a very similar way to other cash out systems. The Tracker works via a mobile App that you can download from the site.
It allows you to bet on either one event or a multiple 'acca' and then end the bet early, allowing you to lock in or 'cash out' an amount. The bet then ends, so if the result goes against your original bet it doesn't matter any more. Of course you only get a percentage of the amount you would have won if you'd let the bet ride, but that's the risk you take.
For more info on what cash out is see our article 'what is cash out'.
What Does The App Offer?
The Tracker system offers you the following:
– Gives you all your built in live football stats and the status of the bets all in one place
– When you download the app it will place the bet and ALL qualifying markets together in the app
– Gives you real-time stats on your bets including cards, corners and possession.
– Allows you to clearly see the status of the bets, including your accas to let you make good decisions on your cash out
What Else Do I Need To Know?
Firstly, once you open an account you'll be able to get a £20 free bet once you've bet £5 on any market.
Please note, whilst this tool is in development you will only be able to view Football singles and accumulators that wholly contain the following markets:
– Match Result
– Half Time Result
– Both Teams to Score
– Correct Score
– All Under/Over Goals Markets
– Half Time Correct Score
– Double Chance
Please note that Price Boost variants of the above are not eligible for 'Cash Out'
Matches must take place within 7 days of bet placement. Bets involving matches greater than 7 days away will be ineligible for Cash Out.
We hope we've answered the question 'What Is Sky Bet Tracker Cash Out' for you. Download the App and good luck!

A transgender gang fight left a teenager dead at an apartment complex in downtown Athens, Georgia on Sunday.
Rayquann Deonte Jernigan, 17, who went by the name Ava Le'Ray Barrin, was shot by another transgender man in the parking lot of the Riverview Apartments on College Avenue.
21-year-old Jalen Breon Brown, pictured below, was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault.
Police say neither Jernigan nor Brown lived in the apartment complex. They were visiting other transgenders who lived at the complex.

"It started out as an argument between friends of the suspect and victim," said Capt. Jerry Saulters, commanding officer of the Athens-Clarke County police Criminal Investigations Division.
Saulters said Brown was on the second floor of one of the buildings arguing with Jernigan and two friends who were in the parking lot at about 11:45 a.m. Brown reportedly fired a "warning shot" near Jernigan before he went down to the parking lot where he and Jernigan began fighting.
At some point during the scuffle, Jernigan was shot in the chest. He was unresponsive when police arrived, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Brown claimed self-defense, but Saulters said his motive doesn't hold up.
"It did not hold up because he fired towards the victim prior to the fight, and a fight does not constitute deadly force," Saulters said.
Several transgender organizations, including one group based in England, released statements condemning the local newspapers for "misgendering" Jernigan by referring to him using male pronouns.
"What saddens and infuriates us as an organization that seeks to represent and empower black trans women is that Ava was just 17 years old and hadn't even had a chance to follow her dreams yet," Black Transwomen Inc. said in a statement. "Ava has become not only the 14th trans woman murdered in the U.S. in 2017, she unfortunately is now the youngest one killed this year. She is also the 12th African American trans person killed this year."
The statement failed to mention that another gender confused individual killed Jernigan.

Taking up with the man who kidnapped her baby, going on the run after being convicted of murder and letting her loved ones think that she's dead are a few of the questionable moves that Sharon's made on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS over the last year or so. So the show has constructed a Sharon-centric episode, set to air Monday, July 4, to remind viewers of what the character's been through. Executive producer/headwriter Maria Arena Bell says that the episode will "shed more light on Sharon and all the factors that caused her to be in this situation, why she's acted the way she has and why she's gone into the pit of [low] self-esteem."
"I'm trying to show why Sharon's in the place that she's in," concurs the convicted murderess' portrayer, Sharon Case. "Everything that's built up to where she is today [will be examined.]"
It's not a coincidence that Y&R has scheduled this episode for a holiday. Late Y&R creator Bill Bell often scheduled stand-alone flashback episodes on holidays because he knew that viewers might skip watching the show on those days in order to spend them with their families. "You don't miss what happens in the series," says Case. "But if you watched that day, you saw a special episode. That's what this episode does. It continues the series a little bit, but mostly it's one of those great holiday episodes. There are so many flashbacks it feels like a classic."

Planning for the presidential transition of Donald Trump, led by then Vice President-elect, former governor Mike Pence of Indiana,[6] began before Donald Trump won the United States presidential election on November 8, 2016, and became the president-elect. Trump was formally elected by the Electoral College on December 19, 2016. The transition was formerly led by Chris Christie until he and a number of his supporters were replaced or demoted on November 11. The results were certified by a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2017, and the transition ended when Trump was inaugurated at noon EST on January 20, 2017.

Transition procedures
In accordance with the Pre-Election Presidential Transition Act of 2010, candidate transition teams are provided office space by the General Services Administration (GSA).[7][8] Transition teams are also eligible for government funding for staff; spending on Mitt Romney's transition team in 2012 was $8.9 million, all funds appropriated by the U.S. government.[8]
Under existing federal law and custom, the Republican Party's nominee became eligible to receive classified national security briefings once his/her nomination was formalized at the party's national convention.[9]
Key responsibilities of a presidential transition include the identification and vetting of candidates for approximately 4,000 non-civil service positions in the U.S. government whose service is at the pleasure of the president; arranging the occupancy of executive residences including the White House, One Observatory Circle, and Camp David; liaising with the United States Strategic Command for receipt of the Gold Codes; and briefing senior civil service personnel about a new administration's policy priorities.[10]
Recent developments
A law enacted by the United States Congress in 2016 amending the Presidential Transition Act requires the incumbent President to establish "transition councils" by June of an election year to facilitate the eventual handover of power.[9]
The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), meanwhile, launched a new program called "Transition 2016" in 2016. Led by Ed DeSeve and David S. C. Chu, the program was described by NAPA as one which provides management and procedural advice to the leading candidates in establishing transition teams.[11]
In April 2016, representatives from the Trump campaign, as well as the campaigns of four other then-running Republican candidates, met in New York with representatives of the Partnership for Public Service to receive a two-day briefing and overview of the transition process.[12] According to Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, the campaign shortly thereafter began implementing the recommendations provided at the meeting.[13] In early May 2016, after Trump became the presumptive nominee, campaign officials announced they would name the members of a presidential transition team within the "upcoming weeks". On May 6, The New York Times reported that Trump had asked Jared Kushner to begin work on putting a transition team together.[14] Corey Lewandowski and Paul Manafort worked with Kushner in the selection of a transition chief.[15] Three days later, Trump announced that New Jersey Governor (and former rival Presidential candidate) Chris Christie had agreed to head the effort.[16]
On Friday, June 3, 2016, the Agency Transition Directors Council first assembled at the White House to review transition plans of each of the major executive departments; neither the Trump nor Clinton campaigns sent representatives to this initial meeting. At about the same time, the White House began transferring its preceding eight years of accumulated electronic files to the National Archives and Records Administration's Electronic Record Archive for preservation.[17]
The transition planning came under heavy criticism for lagging behind other recent transition planning efforts when it was shown to have hired only a "handful" of staff by late July.[18] At that time, Chris Christie named Bill Palatucci, a corporate attorney from New Jersey and the state's Republican National Committeeman, as general counsel; Palatucci reportedly began meeting with senior members of Mitt Romney's 2012 transition team shortly thereafter.[19] Meanwhile, on July 29, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough led a conference call with Chris Christie to discuss transition procedures. During the call, McDonough informed Christie that Anita Breckenridge and Andrew Mayock will be the administration's primary "points of contact" with the Trump campaign moving forward. The pair also discussed the planned availability of office space at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue for the Trump transition team, which the General Services Administration was to make available beginning August 2, 2016.[20]
During the first week of August, the Trump transition office was officially opened. The same month, William F. Hagerty, a former member of Mitt Romney's transition team, was named director of appointments while John Rader, a senior aide to United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair Bob Corker, was retained in the position of deputy director of appointments.[21][22]
In an example of "how removed the transition process is from the tumult and rancor of the campaign", representatives of the Trump and Clinton transition teams began holding a series of meetings with each other, and with White House officials, to plan details of the transition process.[23]
By October, it was reported the transition team had grown to more than 100 staff, many of whom were policy experts brought aboard to compensate for a dearth of policy staff employed by the Trump campaign.[24] For example, in October 2016, Robert Smith Walker, former chairman of the House Science Committee, was appointed space policy advisor.[25]
Immediate post-election
In the early hours of November 9, 2016, media outlets reported Trump would secure enough votes in the Electoral College to win the presidential election, and become the 45th president of the United States. Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton conceded the election to him later that day.[26]
Security enhancements
Prior to Trump's return to his private residence at Trump Tower, the United States Secret Service initiated "unbelievable security measures", including closing East 56th Street to all traffic, reinforcing a cordon of sand-laden dump trucks that had been placed around the building the night before to defend the site from being rammed with a car bomb, and deploying New York City Police Department tactical teams around the skyscraper. The FAA, meanwhile, ordered a flight restriction over midtown Manhattan.[27][28][29]
Trump business interests
Following his victory at the election, Trump began transferring control of the Trump Organization to the company's other executives, including his three oldest children; Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump in a blind trust.[31] According to a November 11 statement from the Trump Organization, it was "in the process of vetting various structures with the goal of the immediate transfer of management of the Trump Organization and its portfolio of businesses".[32][33]
At a press conference on January 11, 2017, Trump said he and his eldest daughter Ivanka would resign all management roles with The Trump Organization by inauguration day, January 20. Its assets would be put into a trust run by his two oldest sons Donald Jr. and Eric, together with existing Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg.[34] Trump would continue to own the business.[35][36] At the press conference, Trump attorney Sheri Dillon made a substantial presentation on the legal structure that was being put in place for the Trump Organization during the presidency. "No new foreign deals will be made whatsoever during the duration of President Trump's presidency," Dillon said, and new domestic deals "will go through a vigorous vetting process" and President Trump will have no role in them, among other assertions.[37]
Beginning of transition process
Shortly after noon on November 9, outgoing president Barack Obama made a statement from the Rose Garden of the White House, in which he announced that he had spoken, the previous evening, with Trump and formally invited him to the White House the next day, November 10, for discussions to ensure "that there is a successful transition between our presidencies". President Obama said he had instructed his staff to "follow the example" of the George W. Bush administration in 2008, who he said could "not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition".[38]
The same day, United States Secretary of Defense Ash Carter issued a memo to the United States armed forces informing them of the pending transfer of National Command Authority to a new administration.[39] Also on November 9, the U.S. Intelligence Community offered the full President's Daily Brief to Trump and Mike Pence, with Trump receiving his first brief on November 15 in his office at Trump Tower.[40][41]
By the afternoon of November 9, a transition website – greatagain.gov – had been launched. The website provided information on transition procedures and information for the media.[42] The website was later criticized for reposting content originally created by the Partnership for Public Service, however, Partnership CEO Max Stier declined to criticize the use and noted that the organization had been working with the major campaigns on transition planning, explaining that he hoped the group's materials would be "a resource that is used for the betterment of transitions".[43] Content on the transition website was licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.[44]
At 11:00 am on November 10, the President and President-elect held a private, 90-minute meeting at the White House, which was followed by a joint media availability in the Oval Office with a press pool composed of journalists from Reuters, Voice of America, Bloomberg, the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, ABC News, and McClatchey syndicate. During the availability, Trump thanked Obama for their meeting and said he looked forward to tapping him for future counsel.[45] According to Trump, Obama convinced him, during their discussion, to retain certain aspects of his signature policy Obamacare, including the ban on insurance companies denying new coverage to those with pre-existing conditions and the right of parents to keep their adult children on their health insurance policies until the age of 25.[46]
November 11 reshuffle
On November 11, Trump telephoned transition head Chris Christie and told him his involvement with the Bridgegate scandal was a political liability and his performance heading the transition unsatisfactory (Trump, later, also expressed private frustration at Christie's retention of lobbyists in key transition posts). At the end of the call, Trump fired Christie from his position as transition chair. Over the next twenty-four hours, and with little warning, Christie loyalists were quickly removed from the transition team in what was characterized by NBC News as a "Stalinesque purge". Transition executive Richard Bagger, for instance, found himself suddenly locked-out of the transition team's offices. Bill Palatucci, Mike Rogers, and others, were also among those removed.[47][48][49][50]
Immediately after the reshuffle, Mike Pence was elevated to transition chair by Trump. Under Christie, many of the members of the transition team were registered lobbyists who had worked on issues overseen by the agencies they were charged with staffing or affected by policies they were preparing.[51][52] However, by November 16, Pence had introduced new restrictions that Politico described as "in some ways far more rigid than President Barack Obama's groundbreaking lobbyist ban". Under the new rules, while incoming administration officials who are currently registered lobbyists would be allowed, they would have to sign documents forfeiting their ability to re-register as lobbyists for five years after departing government.[a] In addition, Pence ordered that all lobbyists be removed from the transition team, with Politico reporting two days later that staff members who were registered lobbyists had begun to resign.[54][55][56]
Pence's tenure
On November 15, Trump requested security clearance for son-in-law Jared Kushner (a member of the transition team), which would allow him to attend the full President's Daily Brief – a request that experts have called "unprecedented".[57] As of November 15, all briefings of the transition team by government were on hold pending the need for incoming chair Mike Pence to sign an agreement with the Obama administration.[58]
On November 16, Trump met with Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, who had been discussed as a possible contender for several cabinet positions.[59] Trump also met with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.[60]
On November 17, Trump met with former secretary of state Henry Kissinger in order to discuss matters relating to foreign affairs.[61] Later that day, Trump met with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe in an informal visit at Trump Tower. After the meeting, which was attended by Michael T. Flynn and Ivanka Trump, Abe said he had "great confidence" in Trump and described their discussion as "very candid".[62]
Past and current State Department officials, however, were disturbed by Ivanka's presence. Moira Whelan, a former John Kerry 2004 presidential campaign staffer who left the department in July after serving as a deputy assistant secretary for digital strategy in the U.S. Department of State, averred that "anyone present for such a conversation between two heads of state should, at a minimum, have security clearance, and should also be an expert in Japanese affairs ... meeting of two heads of state [sic][b] is never an informal occurrence. Even a casual mention or a nod of agreement or an assertion left unchallenged can be interpreted in different ways".[65][66]
On December 6, Michael G. Flynn, the son of Michael T. Flynn, was forced out of the transition team.[67] Spokesman Jason Miller did not identify the reason for Flynn's dismissal; however, The New York Times reported that other officials had confirmed it was related to a tweet he made regarding the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.[68]
On December 14, Trump met with CEOs and representatives from Silicon Valley tech companies in Trump Tower.[69][70][71][72][73]
Transition team
The Trump transition team was led by Vice President-elect Mike Pence. It originally had six vice-chairs, which was expanded on November 29, 2016 to thirteen vice-chairs: Ben Carson, Chris Christie (previously head of the transition from May 2016 through election day), Michael Flynn (incoming national security advisor), Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Sessions (incoming attorney general), with the addition of K. T. McFarland (incoming deputy national security advisor), Governor Mary Fallin, Senator Tim Scott, Representative Marsha Blackburn (previously on the executive committee), Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Representative Tom Reed, and outgoing representative Cynthia Lummis.[74][75][76]
The transition team also had an Executive Committee which included:[75]

- Representative Sean Duffy
- Representative Trey Gowdy
- Representative Dennis Ross

- Kiron Skinner
Structure and staff
An organizational chart of the transition team was made public by the New York Times.[79] It divided the work into two areas: "agency action" led by Ron Nicol[80] and "policy implementation" led by Ado Machida. The agency side, which oversaw appointments, was divided into six arenas:[80]
- National Security, led by former representative Mike Rogers, until he was abruptly fired on November 15.[58]
- Economic Issues, led by David Malpass, the former chief economist at Bear Stearns,[81] and William L. ("Bill") Walton, who heads the private equity firm Rappahannock Ventures and Rush River Entertainment. Walton is Vice President of the Council for National Policy and a senior fellow for Discovery Institute's Center on Wealth, Poverty and Morality.
- Domestic Issues, led by Ken Blackwell – the former mayor of Cincinnati, treasurer of Ohio, and secretary of state of Ohio[82]
- Defense, led by Keith Kellogg, the former commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division.
- Management and Budget, led by former attorney general Ed Meese and Kay Coles James.
- Agency Transformation and Innovation, led by Beth Kaufman.
The policy side had three senior leaders including Ado Machida as director of policy implementation, Andrew Bremberg as executive legal action lead, and Carlos Diaz Rosillo as executive authority advisor. Bremberg is Senior Advisor and Chief of Staff for US Health and Human Services for the George W. Bush administration and advisor to Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and for presidential bid of Wisconsin governor. Scott Walker; he was previously reported to be serving the transition as an advisor on health issues.[83][84]
The policy implementation team included the following policy areas:
- Defense & National Security, led by Major General Bert Mizusawa.
- Immigration Reform & Building The Wall, led by Danielle Cutrona, counsel to Senator Jeff Sessions.[51]
- Energy Independence, led by Michael Catanzaro, an energy lobbyist whose clients include American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, Hess, Devon Energy, and Encana Oil and Gas.[51][52][85]
- Tax Reform, led by Jim Carter, a lobbyist employed by Emerson.[51]
- Regulatory Reform, led by Rob Gordon, who serves as staff director/senior policy advisor for the House Natural Resources Committee, Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.[51]
- Trade Reform, led by Rolf Lundberg, a lobbyist and former employee of the Chamber of Commerce.[51]
- Education, led by Gerard Robinson of the American Enterprise Institute.[51]
- Transportation & Infrastructure, led by Martin Whitmer, a lobbyist at Whitmer & Worrall whose clients include the American Association of Railroads, National Asphalt Pavement Association and the Utilities Technology Council.[51]
- Financial Services Reform, led by Brian Johnson, chief financial institutions counsel for the House Financial Services Committee
- Healthcare Reform, led by Paula Stannard, former deputy general counsel and acting general counsel of HHS and currently a lawyer at Alston & Bird.[51]
- Veterans Administration Reform, led by Bill Chatfield
- Protecting Americans' Constitutional Rights, led by Ken Klukowski, senior counsel and director of strategic affairs for the First Liberty Institute.[51]
Other people reported to have been working on the transition team included:
- James Carafano – a senior fellow at the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute and former professor at the U.S. Naval War College led appointment selections to the U.S. State Department[82]
- Jeffrey Eisenach – a Verizon and other telecommunications client consultant helped to pick staff members at the Federal Communications Commission[81]
- Kris Kobach – the secretary of state of Kansas served as a policy advisor on immigration[86]
- Nick Langworthy – the chairman of the Erie County, New York Republican Committee[87]
- Robert Smith Walker – former member of Congress from Pennsylvania and chair of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee of the U.S. Department of Energy, advised the transition on space policy[25]
Large numbers of foreign policy advisors left the White House team unwilling to work with Trump's team.[88]
Cabinet designees
The following have been named as cabinet appointees by the president; all positions, except chief of staff and vice president, require the advice and consent of the United States Senate prior to taking office.
On November 30, Politico, which viewed Trump's chosen administration nominees as being more conservative as opposed to previous presidential administrations, described Trump as "well on his way to building a conservative dream team that has Republicans cheering and liberals in despair."[89] On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal stated that "it's nearly impossible to identify a clear ideological bent in the incoming president's" cabinet nominations.[90]
The Washington Post noted that Trump's cabinet would be "the wealthiest administration in modern American history."[91] The Post also noted that while some of Trump's appointments consisted of "his staunchest and most controversial allies" such as Bannon, Flynn and Sessions, other appointments appealed to the Republican establishment and had "the imprint of Mike Pence".[92]

PROVO, Utah — The Santa Clara Broncos made it eight wins in their last 10 West Coast Conference games with an 8-6 victory Thursday night over the BYU Cougars at Miller Park. The Broncos trailed by three heading into the seventh and scored two that inning along with three in the eighth to take the lead for good and claim the series opener.
The Broncos won for just the third time this season when trailing after seven innings with three extra-base hits in two of the last three frames. Their two through six hitters combined for nine of the team's 10 hits, all seven of the team's RBIs and five of the team's eight runs scored.
"These guys never stop competing," head coach Dan O'Brien said. "I can't say enough about how relentless they've been. They never give in, and tonight it helped us come from behind after a rough start to the ballgame."
Senior starter D.J. Zapata allowed three runs (two earned) on ten hits with no walks and one strikeout for the Broncos (23-26, 13-9 WCC), and did not allow a leadoff hitter to reach in Thursday's victory. Jason Seever (W, 2-2) pitched 1.2 scoreless innings to pick up the win in relief and Reece Karalus (SV, 11) retired all six batters he faced in the eighth and ninth to earn his co-conference best 11th save of the season.
BYU senior starter Desmond Poulson allowed four runs (one earned) on five hits with four walks and three strikeouts in 6.0+ innings to finish with a no decision. Senior relief pitcher Chris Howard (L, 0-3) allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits with two strikeouts in one inning for the Cougars (18-29, 8-14 WCC).
With one out in the third, Kert Woods walked for the Broncos and advanced to third on a throwing error by Poulson. Senior center fielder Greg Harisis hit a bunt to the left side that Poulson fielded and threw short of senior first baseman Bret Lopez and into foul territory, putting two runners in scoring position. Sophomore shortstop Jose Vizcaino, Jr. followed with an RBI groundout and freshman catcher Stevie Berman hit a two-out, RBI single in consecutive at-bats to put the Broncos ahead 2-0.
BYU had four straight batters reach in its half of the third, including back-to-back RBI singles from junior designated hitter Dillon Robinson — on a ball that hit off the chest of Vizcaino, Jr. — and senior third baseman Brock Whitney. Tied at 2-2 with the bases loaded and one out, the Broncos turned a double play to end the inning when sophomore third baseman Kyle Cortopassi fielded a ground ball on a high hop, tagged third and threw across the infield in time for the third out.
"We talk all the time about taking a punch, handling adversity, and punching back," O'Brien said. "We were playing some pretty bad baseball there for a while but they never stopped competing and picking each other up. That's becoming their identity as a team."
Santa Clara took its second lead when Woods reached on a dropped third strike with two outs in the fourth, allowing senior designated hitter Quinton Perry to score from third. The Cougars tied the game at 3-3 with back-to-back doubles from Whitney and senior right fielder Kelton Caldwell in the fifth. After two RBI singles made the score 5-3 Cougars in the sixth, BYU scored its sixth run when Kert Woods made a catch at the wall in right, and the relay throw sailed wide of second base with runners tagging from first and second.
"We definitely just fought it out," Vizcaino, Jr. said. "We weren't playing as sharp as we usually do, but this team is all about picking eachother up. We just focused, were able to make some good swings on balls and win the game."
Berman doubled to right center to lead off the seventh and scored on Braff's RBI groundout to short. One batter later, Perry hit a long home run to left field to make the score 6-5. Vizcaino, Jr. hit his first home run of the season — a two-run shot to left — to put the Broncos back in front in the eighth, and Braff's RBI single capped off a span of five runs in two innings, culminating in an 8-6 Bronco lead.
"[Howard] threw me a ball in the dirt, and I didn't look too good on that," Vizcaino, Jr. said. "I looked to coach, he told me to relax so I took a breath, got my foot down early and looked for something up to drive the run in. I ended up putting a good swing, looked up, and the next thing I knew everyone was cheering so I figured the ball went over the fence."
Vizcaino, Jr. led Santa Clara with a 2-for-5 night, drove in three runs and scored one. Berman, Perry, and senior left fielder Casey Munoz each added two hits, and Braff drove in a pair of runs while Woods scored a pair of runs.
"Jose was having a rough ballgame," O'Brien said. "In fact, he was having a rough at-bat before making a huge mid at-bat adjustment. That shows just how far Jose has come as a ballplayer. I'm so proud of him."
Back in the lead for the first time since the fifth, the Broncos called on their closer Karalus to start the eighth. The sophomore struck out the first two batters he faced and retired all six BYU batters in the eighth and ninth to seal the victory.
"As soon as the eighth inning was starting, I saw [Karalus] running in and I yelled at him and said 'Oh, this game's over' and he kind of smiled at me," Vizcaino, Jr. said. "I know he's going to pound strikes, and with all those strikeouts it's fun being behind him. He brings a lot of confidence and presence on the mound."
The Broncos and Cougars play game two of the series Friday for a 6 p.m. MDT (5 p.m. PDT) first pitch. Santa Clara's Peter Hendron (6-3, 3.40 ERA) is scheduled to take the hill against BYU's Jeff Barker (4-5, 4.52 ERA).
Game Notes: First pitch was at 6:06 p.m. … time of game was 3:05 … attendance was 721 … Poulson faced one batter in the seventh.

Air compressors are generally made out of stainless steel, cast iron or aluminum and can be powered by gas or electricity. Portable or mini air compressors are often housed in plastic and use rechargeable batteries. Compressor components include an air tank, hose, motor and pressure gauge as well as various fittings. Some air compressors have handles or anti-vibration feet. A critical safety feature that all compressors should have, including used or refurbished models, is a relief valve that opens if the pressure exceeds the maximum level.
Air compressors are used in many different industries and consequently, used compressors are widely available. The most common application for air compressors is to power pneumatic tools such as nail guns and jackhammers. Compressed air is up to eight times as dense as regular air, so tires, tubes and air tanks are filled using air compressors in order to increase their capacity. Air compressors are used industrially to circulate and purify air; oilless air compressors are characterized by their ability to compress air without contaminating it with oil. They are also used for commercial cleaning and drying.
Used air compressors are similar in operation to pumps. They both increase the pressure on a liquid or gas to convey them through a system. However, fluids are relatively incompressible, and therefore the transportation industry only utilizes gases like air to be pressurized and used for power. Used air compressors are either positive displacement or dynamic compressors. They are identified by how they condense the air. In positive displacement compressors, a space or chamber is filled with air and then collapses.
The compressed air is emptied from the chamber and stored in the tank. Dynamic compressors have a rotating component that spins rapidly, accelerating the air. When it slows, the air molecules collide with the rotor and each other, and the air becomes denser. In the storage tank, the pressure is maintained because the crowded air molecules move faster than they would under normal conditions. The air rushes towards an open valve in an attempt to expand to its regular size, while hoses and nozzles channel and direct the air into a useful application.
Within the two categories of used air compressors there are many variations and designs, including centrifugal, mixed-flow, axial-flow, reciprocating, rotary, screw, scroll and diaphragm compressors. Used air compressors can be purchased with confidence if approved by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). They certify the quality and safety of compressors and in some states only allow the purchase and rental of ASME-approved machines.

Has a United Nations international boundary committee really "sided with Argentina" by expanding its maritime limits in the South Atlantic by a third to include the disputed Falkland Islands, or Islas Malvinas, as has been widely reported?
In fact, the announcement from a subcommittee of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) does no such thing. The CLCS was established by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to do one thing: verify the scientific data that a state submits to determine the limits of its outer continental shelf, and therefore the extent of the area to which it has exclusive access to seabed resources.
A state's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) runs from 12-200 nautical miles from shore, and beyond that lies the outer continental shelf, extending as far as 350 nautical miles or potentially even further. Because the scientific basis for making such claims is highly technical, the UN established the CLCS to assess states' submissions. Right from the beginning it was recognised that in many cases states' claims could legitimately overlap.
Claim and counter-claim
For instance, imagine a situation where Country A and Country B are 500 nautical miles apart from each other. Country A makes a submission proposing that there is a contiguous seabed that goes all the way to Country B. In such a case, the 200 nautical miles closest to Country A would clearly be part of Country A's EEZ, the 200 nautical miles closest to Country B would clearly be part of Country B's EEZ, and the 100 nautical miles in the middle would seemingly be awarded to Country A.
However, while disputes over territory on land or in territorial waters near the coast are zero-sum games – where one country's gain is necessarily another's loss – in this case the science that supports the geological contiguity of the seabed backing Country A's claim is very likely to also support the same claims made by Country B.
This is acknowledged under the Law of the Sea through separating the verification of the science from the actual drawing of boundaries. Having certified the scientific basis for any claims, the CLCS turns the matter to arbitration or to a tribunal that then can divide up the shared space between the states with legitimate claims to it. Often this involves just drawing a line down the middle. However, that line may be adjusted – due to differences in the competing states' populations or historic factors, for example. Or the two states may decide to administer their overlapping seabeds jointly and share resource revenues equitably.
Share and share alike: it works in the Arctic
Despite popular conceptions of an ongoing rush for Arctic territory, states with competing claims have recognised their shared interest in establishing scientific data universally agreed by all. So although Canada, Denmark, Russia, and the US are all ultimately competitors for what lies beneath the seabed of the Arctic Ocean, they generally recognise that acknowledgement of each state's claim – including their own – is dependent on universal recognition of scientific data. They have therefore been working closely together to map the ocean floor, sharing costs, exchanging specialised expertise and equipment, and uploading data to an openly accessible website: the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean.
A similar situation could exist in the South Atlantic, but for the long-running dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland/Malvinas Islands which has at times broken into open military conflict, most recently during the Falklands War of 1982. There is no equivalent dispute over land, rather than ocean, territory among the Arctic nations.
No end in sight yet
Well aware of the dispute, the CLCS has moved carefully in the South Atlantic. In 2009 the UK and Argentina both made submissions to the CLCS with significant overlap, as demonstrated by this map produced by IBRU, the Centre for Borders Research at Durham University.
This is a case where shared scientific research could support both sides' claims. When the CLCS empowered a subcommittee to make a preliminary determination on Argentina's claims in 2012 it noted that a final determination could not be made until the Falkland/Malvinas sovereignty dispute was settled. So even while this subcommittee has now endorsed Argentina's science, and regardless of the fact that it's been promoted as a "win" for the Argentine government (and, by implication, a "loss" for the UK), it doesn't, in fact, move the process forward. There can be no progress until the sovereignty issue is settled.
Indeed, the CLCS finding that Argentina's science is sound is also likely to strengthen the UK's claim to the contested seabed around the islands. Should the UK's claim to the islands be recognised, the CLCS finding makes it more likely than ever that the seabed between the islands and the Argentine mainland will need to be shared.
In the long run the UK and Argentina will have to move toward finding a shared interest – perhaps even the two states can achieve détente through science (and the hope of a share of the region's oil and mineral wealth). Unfortunately in the short term the ruling has invoked only passions and political posturing that does nothing to move towards a solution for the South Atlantic.
