Bristol joins nation to pause, pray for America
BRISTOL, Va. - Thousands from around east Tennessee and southwest Virginia gathered at noon Thursday to observe the 62nd National Day of Prayer, joining an estimated 2 million from around the country to "Pray for America."
The first recorded National Day of Prayer dates back to 1775 and the Continental Congress, but it became an officially-recognized event after President Harry S. Truman signed a joint resolution of Congress into law in 1952
President Ronald Reagan amended that law in 1988, declaring the first Thursday in May would forever be the National Day of Prayer.
Thursday afternoon's event in Bristol saw faithful from all generations joining together and offering thoughts and prayers for the country's first responders, service members, leaders, and even youth.
Fifth-grader Jordan Thompson,the youngest to take the microphone in Bristol's Cumberland Square Park, offered a prayer for the country's youngest generation, and even a bit of wisdom. "If you are not going to church, go to church because it is awesome," said Thompson. "And when you grow up, spread the Word."
Northstar Baptist Church's Dr. Bill Houck reinforced the day's theme. "We just honestly believe God is the only hope for our nation. While many people put their hope in elected officials, our hope is in God and we need to turn to Him,"said Houck.
In his National Day of Prayer proclamation, President Obama asked the nation to reflect on the recent tragedies in Newtown, Boston and West, Texas. He encouraged those around the country to join him in "asking for God's continued guidance, mercy and protection."

Soooo Comfy!
"I love these boots! They feel good going on in the morning and you almost hate taking them off at night. I have a fairly large calf and often buy wide calf boots. These fit perfectly straight from the box. However, there is a buckle at the top that could be used to widen or tighten a little. I have had lots of compliments on these boots from male and female both young and old."

Passengers on a domestic flight deplaning in New York were asked to present ID by Customs and Border Protection agents—a likely unenforceable demand that nevertheless diminishes freedom.
American citizens had their introduction to the Trump-era immigration machine Wednesday, when Customs and Border Protection agents met an airliner that had just landed at New York's JFK airport after a flight from San Francisco. According to passenger accounts, a flight attendant announced that all passengers would have to show their "documents" as they deplaned, and they did. The reason for the search, Homeland Security officials said, was to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a search for a specific immigrant who had received a deportation order after multiple criminal convictions. The target was not on the flight.
After days of research, I can find no legal authority for ICE or CBP to require passengers to show identification on an entirely domestic fight. The ICE authorizing statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1357, provides that agents can conduct warrantless searches of "any person seeking admission to the United States"—if, that is, the officer has "reasonable cause to suspect" that the individual searched may be deportable. CBP's statute, 19 U.S.C. § 1467, grants search authority "whenever a vessel from a foreign port or place or from a port or place in any Territory or possession of the United States arrives at a port or place in the United States." CBP regulations, set out at 19 C.F.R. § 162.6, allow agents to search "persons, baggage, and merchandise arriving in the Customs territory of the United States from places outside thereof."
The military and older whites are the big winners in the president's budget proposal, Democratic constituencies and Republican budget hawks are the big losers.
President Trump reportedly wants to exclude Social Security and Medicare from budget cuts while severely retrenching other domestic federal functions. That represents a frontal challenge not only to congressional Democrats but also to Republican budget hawks led by House Speaker Paul Ryan.
From one direction, the administration's emerging budget blueprint represents a clear generational tilt toward the "gray" over the "brown": It would elevate the spending priorities of a preponderantly white-and Republican leaning-older population over the needs of heavily diverse, and mostly Democratic, younger generations. But the plan would also prioritize the demands of seniors over the long-running effort by Ryan-led House Republicans to restrain the long-term growth in entitlement spending––which almost all budget experts consider the key to controlling long-term federal deficits.
When President Obama left, I stayed on at the National Security Council in order to serve my country. I lasted eight days.
In 2011, I was hired, straight out of college, to work at the White House and eventually the National Security Council. My job there was to promote and protect the best of what my country stands for. I am a hijab-wearing Muslim woman––I was the only hijabi in the West Wing––and the Obama administration always made me feel welcome and included.
Like most of my fellow American Muslims, I spent much of 2016 watching with consternation as Donald Trump vilified our community. Despite this––or because of it––I thought I should try to stay on the NSC staff during the Trump Administration, in order to give the new president and his aides a more nuanced view of Islam, and of America's Muslim citizens.
Is the brash new president bending Washington to his will—or being tamed by the status quo?
Just over a month ago, Donald Trump thundered into the White House with a bold declaration. "We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining, but never doing anything about it," he said. Instead, he contended, "Now arrives the hour of action."
Trump promised to steamroll the Washington status quo, disrupting both Republicans and Democrats. He would replace the elite consensus of both parties with a new, populist-nationalist philosophy, and bully Congress into submission.
One month in, Trump has certainly succeeded in kicking up a frenzy of news and controversy. It surrounds him at all times, like the cloud of dust around Pig-Pen in Peanuts. But when it comes to taming Washington, the results are decidedly mixed. Instead, it is the Republican Party—in the form of Congress and conservative institutions—that seems mostly to be in charge, and Trump who is being tamed.
And is Donald Trump one?
Why does Donald Trump exaggerate the size of his inauguration crowd, brag about his election win in conversations with world leaders, and claim without evidence that voter fraud may have cost him the popular vote? Why does he dismiss protesters who oppose him as "paid professionals" and polls that reflect poorly on him as "fake news"? Why does he call much of the media the "enemy of the people"?
There are explanations for these things that focus on the individual, characterizing Trump as a self-centered reality-TV star obsessed with approval and allergic to criticism.
But there is also an ideological explanation, and it involves a concept that gets mentioned a lot these days without much context or elaboration: populism.
Long after research contradicts common medical practices, patients continue to demand them and physicians continue to deliver. The result is an epidemic of unnecessary and unhelpful treatments.
First, listen to the story with the happy ending: At 61, the executive was in excellent health. His blood pressure was a bit high, but everything else looked good, and he exercised regularly. Then he had a scare. He went for a brisk post-lunch walk on a cool winter day, and his chest began to hurt. Back inside his office, he sat down, and the pain disappeared as quickly as it had come.
That night, he thought more about it: middle-aged man, high blood pressure, stressful job, chest discomfort. The next day, he went to a local emergency department. Doctors determined that the man had not suffered a heart attack and that the electrical activity of his heart was completely normal. All signs suggested that the executive had stable angina—chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle is getting less blood-borne oxygen than it needs, often because an artery is partially blocked.
Five neuroscientists argue that fancy new technologies have led the field astray.
It's a good time to be interested in the brain. Neuroscientists can now turn neurons on or off with just a flash of light, allowing them to manipulate the behavior of animals with exceptional precision. They can turn brains transparent and seed them with glowing molecules to divine their structure. They can record the activity of huge numbers of neurons at once. And those are just the tools that currently exist. In 2013, Barack Obama launched the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative—a $115 million plan to develop even better technologies for understanding the enigmatic gray blobs that sit inside our skulls.
John Krakaeur, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins Hospital, has been asked to BRAIN Initiative meetings before, and describes it like "Maleficent being invited to Sleeping Beauty's birthday." That's because he and four like-minded friends have become increasingly disenchanted by their colleagues' obsession with their toys. And in a new paper that's part philosophical treatise and part shot across the bow, they argue that this technological fetish is leading the field astray. "People think technology + big data + machine learning = science," says Krakauer. "And it's not."
The president has long toyed with the media, but the stakes are much higher now.
American presidents have often clashed with the press. But for a long time, the chief executive had little choice but to interact with journalists anyway.
This was as much a logistical matter as it was a begrudging commitment to the underpinnings of Democracy: News organizations were the nation's watchdogs, yes, but also stewards of the complex editorial and technological infrastructure necessary to reach the rest of the people. They had the printing presses, then the steel-latticed radio towers, and, eventually, the satellite TV trucks. The internet changed everything. Now, when Donald Trump wants to say something to the masses, he types a few lines onto his pocket-sized computer-phone and broadcasts it to an audience of 26 million people (and bots) with the tap of a button.
The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here's the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.
It's 2021, and President Donald Trump will shortly be sworn in for his second term. The 45th president has visibly aged over the past four years. He rests heavily on his daughter Ivanka's arm during his infrequent public appearances.
Fortunately for him, he did not need to campaign hard for reelection. His has been a popular presidency: Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic. Wages have grown strongly in the Trump years, especially for men without a college degree, even if rising inflation is beginning to bite into the gains. The president's supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies and his TrumpWorks infrastructure program.

Here's one way to confuse it.
You can tell a lot about a person from how they react to something.
That's why Facebook's various "Like" buttons are so powerful. Clicking a reaction icon isn't just a way to register an emotional response, it's also a way for Facebook to refine its sense of who you are. So when you "Love" a photo of a friend's baby, and click "Angry" on an article about the New England Patriots winning the Super Bowl, you're training Facebook to see you a certain way: You are a person who seems to love babies and hate Tom Brady.
The more you click, the more sophisticated Facebook's idea of who you are becomes. (Remember: Although the reaction choices seem limited now—Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, or Angry—up until around this time last year, there was only a "Like" button.)

I was reading the last chapters once again and I stopped to think who might be this character who defeated Geckio Moria in the past.
Maybe another pirate of the Seven.
I'd like to know your ideas. Post them!
I was reading the last chapters once again and I stopped to think who might be this character who defeated Geckio Moria in the past.
Maybe another pirate of the Seven.
I'd like to know your ideas. Post them!
Yes, probably one of the Yonkou.
Perhaps he's the last remaining unidentified Shichibukai, but I think that's kinda unlikely. Gecko Moria referred to Kaidou as "Now I can even defeat that Kaidou in the New World, right?" He referred to Kaidou as someone of the New World, not as a Shichibukai or otherwise.
Kaidou being one of the remaining three admirals is not impossible. Like Aokiji, whose real name is actually Kuzan, admirals take on code names after their promotion. So maybe Kaidou is the "Yellow Monkey". Consider that Moria was a pirate, fighting against a former vice-admiral, now admiral, is not impossible.
But I bet Kaidou is someone totally new, someone who can not be categorized into the known categories.
I don´t think he´s one of the shichibukai because he doesn´t seem to have an animal themed name.
Kaidou is hardly a full name. For example: Dracule Mihawk. Only "Mihawk" is animal theme, Dracule is not.
Yonkou is color themed, perhaps body haired themed as well...
Admirals have both animal and color theme.
Oda is overfond of animals and particularly monkeys.
You are right about the "Oda is overfond of animals" part. Just check out the color covers. As for the monkey thing, I suppose it's just a fad of some sort. Monkey sells well.
Kaidou's probability of being of the two remaining Yonkou is fairly high. However Moria said this: "even that Kaidou of the New World can't defeat me now." or something. He did not refer to any title and seems to have little respect of this person. Instead of referring to a title, Moria referred to "of the New World". Maybe Kaidou is a total outsider to any groups. He simply lives in the New World.
What chapter was Barbanera refereing to? I can't seem to remember that part.
Jink's Manga Picks
Shamo || Vinland Saga || Mirai Nikki || Dangu || Tokyo Red Hood
I think it was chapter 455 or 456, i can´t remember which one.

Bosnian Breakdown, CD (£11.50)
The GlobeStyle team ventured east last year and ended up in Bosnia, in the north-east of what is still (but only just) called Yugoslavia. Bosnia more than most areas has the right to regard itself as "the crossroads of Europe" and certainly over the years has made its place in history, not the least event being the start of the First World War. However, back in April 1991, there was a relative peace in the region and the intrepid Globe(Style) trotters issued forth to a small recording studio in a place called Ilidza in Bosnia and captured the sound of the hottest band in town - Kalesijski Svuci -and their unique sound, produced from violin, sargija (a stringed instrument of the sax family), the ubiquitous accordion, modern electric guitar and rhythm section. Formed in 1981, they play their own unique mix of traditional songs, taught them by their forefathers, and the contemporary sounds floating across the airwaves from all surrounding sides. The majority population of the region comprises Slav and Muslim communities and this and the unique singing style known as "na glas" (an extremely close harmony form) lend a distinct sound to this "unpronounceable beat of Sarajevo", which in any language still gets s-e-r-i-ously down.

Bosnia Has Achieved Peace but Not Ethnic Unity, a Study Finds
Four years after the fighting stopped in Bosnia, an international study group has concluded that Western efforts have failed to realize the driving principle of the Dayton accords: a single, multi-ethnic country. A lengthy paper released by the International Crisis Group, an independent group consisting of former national leaders, diplomats and analysts concerned with the Balkans, paints a bleak picture of Bosnia as a place divided into three ethnic entities propped up almost entirely by Western economic assistance. As aid begins to drop, social and economic tensions will increase, threatening the tangible success of peace, the report says, urging more robust action by outside governments to get what they want in Bosnia.October 31, 1999 worldNews

Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church is known for taking things a bit to the extreme.
That is going to continue Sunday, July 13 when he heads out onto an over 3,000 mile bike ride from Nashville to Los Angeles.
"It's going to be epic, it's going to be a wonderful thing," Locke said.
Epic 14 was born when Global Vision Bible Church sat down, trying to think of new ways to raise money and awareness. The 3,000 mile ride will take place in 10 days, something only a handful of people have done. It is 1,000 miles longer and 11 days shorter than the Tour De France. To prepare, Greg Locke has been riding 3.5 hours a day for the past six months. To achieve that distance in the 10 days, Locke will have to ride 20 hours and sleep just four. He wants to ride for two straight days to start to help get ahead of the curve.
You can follow Locke on his path through the website at www.epic14.com. Locke will have a live tracker on him that will send updates to the website every few minutes. He will leave out of Mt. Juliet, head to the Natchez Trace Parkway down through Mississippi and Louisiana, over through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, before finally ending in Los Angeles, Calif. Locke is going to have a send off around noon, July 13 at the church on 2060 Old Lebanon Dirt Road. Locke hopes to have a big turnout, and hopes that some will begin the journey with him, as well as ride with him along the way.
"I'm going to need all the encouragement and pep in my step that I can possibly have," said Locke.
The proceeds raised from the event will go to help upgrade the facilities at their church. In the past, Global Vision Bible Church has raised money for things like combating sex trafficking, helping the homeless, giving Bibles, helping single moms and helping rehabilitation programs.

Can't wait to wear!
"I looked at this shoe last fall and passed on buying it. I'm so glad they were still available (and actually cheaper than last year!)! These shoes are even more gorgeous in person! I have wide calves and always struggle to find boots that I can get over my calves. The height on these is perfect. And works excellent with a fall dress, tucked skinnies, or shorts (yes, I've tried them on with all three!). The bummer is that it has been 80-90 degrees here in PA for the whole time I've had these boots and haven't had a chance to wear them for real. The distressed leather upper gives them a perfect rugged, classic look."

"I love these boots!! Super cute with leggings, jeggings, or under jeans. True to size, I wear a 9 and ordered a 9 and they fit great! Comfy too! The one thing I don't like is the zippers don't stay up (but the boot does stay on my foot, so half the time I don't even know they're down!) and you have to keep zipping them back up."

Travel Guide of Madrid for: Petit Palace Posada Del PeineSol, Madrid, Community of Madrid
Madrid Summary
- Easy to explore by foot
- World-class museums, like El Prado and the Reina Sofia
- Beautiful historic architecture and sleek skyscrapers
- Diverse dining scene
- Great nightlife
- Beautiful parks, like the Retiro and the Parque del Oeste
- Wide array of accommodation options
- Great shopping
- One of the best, newest subway (metro) systems in Europe
- High-speed railway system hub (2.5 hours to Barcelona; 2.5 hours to Sevilla)
- Petty theft around the tourist areas, especially in Sol and Gran Via
- Difficult to find a parking spot, and traffic jams during rush-hours
- Crowds in the city center
- Unbearably hot, dry summer months (especially July and August)
What It's Like
The capital of Spain is a vibrant, multicultural city located right in the center of the country. The Cuatro Torres business area's additions to the city skyline (four sleek towers, including a hotel and corporate offices) give an idea of what Madrid is rapidly becoming: a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city -- albeit one that preserves its century-old traditions.
Los Austrias neighborhood, with its narrow cobblestoned streets and beautiful 17th century churches, oozes history, but is also home to a vibrant nightlife and wonderful restaurants. Malasaña and Chamberi are the traditional neighborhoods, with old-style, low-rise buildings and small shops. Salamanca, the most affluent area in the city center, boasts top-notch boutiques, tree-lined streets, and some beautiful mansions, while the northern end of the Castellana, the main north-south artery, has some of the most recognizable buildings of Madrid's skyline. All these very distinct neighborhoods are sprinkled with a myriad of green areas -- from small patches of grass with a few benches, to huge landscaped parks like El Retiro, also known as "the lung of Madrid."
You won't run out of things to see in Madrid, a city known for its world-class museums - -- including El Prado, the Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen Bornemisza -- its beautiful architecture, hopping nightlife scene, and lively 'tascas' (or small bars), always full of people enjoying one of the hundreds of different tapas, or watching a Real Madrid game.
Where to Stay
The city center is full of hotels, be it small, cheap pensions or larger, luxurious hotels, and is an ideal location for those who want to be within walking distance of popular tourist attractions, shops, and the great nightlife. For more exclusive hotels and easy access to the high-end boutiques, stay in the area around Goya and Serrano. If you're traveling for business, you might find the hotels around Cuzco and Plaza de Castilla convenient.

Kahn Litwin, Renza & Co. takes the stress out of a busy day.
As one of the largest full-service CPA and business-consulting firms in New England, things can get pretty hectic, especially during tax season.
But Providence-based KLR tries to counter the work with a slew of fun themes, such as Dress Your Decade Day, Bring Your Pet Day and Sports Trivia Night.
"Everyone is working crazy hours during the busy tax and audit season, and you kind of need to lighten up the workplace," said Laura DaLomba, managing principal at KLR's Newport office. "It's a brief respite from the day, and it builds camaraderie."
Every month, KLR recognizes employees who have gone above and beyond in helping their associates, with Gem awards – which are distributed in front of peers. There are also special dinners, activities and other rewards associated with getting a job done well.
"With something like the Gem awards, you want to recognize employees and thank them for really saving the day," said DaLomba.
KLR brings its employees together at other times too. The firm's managing director regularly schedules group lunches with every staffer to help foster professional development and open communication.
KLR's mentoring program helps younger professionals advance in their careers. Mentees are paired with more-senior employees, who offer guidance in developing individual skills.
"It's nice to have someone in your corner that can get you out of your comfort zone and help push you beyond what you're normally comfortable doing," said DaLomba. "That's where you really grow." •

Simple but cute
"I needed a navy blue pump for work, so I ordered this one. I love heels but nothing too high. The only small complaint I have is that it slips off my heel a little. A heel cushion should fix that."

Great shoe
"I bought the navy color. Sometimes it looks black to me. I just received the shoe and tried them on and it fits perfect. I wear between an 8-9W depending on the shoe and I purchased the 8.5 and it fits fine. Please note that there is a compete sizing difference in this shoe and the Barbie patent pump made by this same company."

St. Peter's Second Universal Letter 1:1-10
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 98.9,1
Exalt the Lord our God.
Verse: The Lord reigns; let the people tremble.
SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promise, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature. For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall.

With a click of a mouse, your kids can jump onto the World Wide Web. The Web is an amazing resource children can use to research term papers, connect with friends, play games online, and keep up with pop culture.
But despite the benefits, using the Web is not without danger, especially for children and teenagers who have yet to learn how to avoid Internet danger zones. Inappropriate material, identity theft, predators, and "cyberbullies" are just a few of the threats lurking "out there."
As parents, we want to do all we can to protect our children from harm. We supervise their playdates, we ask questions about who their friends are, we teach them to avoid strangers… yet many of us aren't as careful as we need to be when we allow our children log on to the Web.
So what's a parent to do? Start by following a few basic Internet safety tips.
The less time your child spends online, the less chance he has of finding inappropriate material, predators, and other dangers. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours a day of total screen time (which includes computer and television, as well as video games).
It's easier to monitor your child's online activities when the computer is in a common area of your home, like the den or the kitchen. Avoid allowing children, even teenagers, to have a computer permanently located in their bedroom, where they may be online without your knowledge.
Invest in a software package that allows you to monitor past online surfing, and check often to make sure your child is not visiting sites that are off-limits.
Discuss Internet safety and responsible online behavior with your children. Let them know that they can and should to come to you if they ever feel threatened or uncomfortable with messages, content, or other online experiences.
It's difficult to set and enforce rules if you don't understand what a blog is or how MySpace, Club Penguin, or Facebook works. Take time to visit the sites your child visits.
You can make the Web a safer place to surf for your entire family by taking advantage of a free software package like Windows Live OneCare Family Safety from Microsoft.
The AAP has an Internet Safety site that provides resources from the AAP and other organizations to help kids, teens and families use websites and social media safely. In addition to recommendations from pediatricians, the SafetyNet site has a Family Media Use Form, and links to external sites including On Guard Online (an comprehensive guide to being smart and safe online) and NetSmartz (an interactive, educational safety resource).

New Math is an attempt to quantify the world using words and basic math.
New Math is an attempt to quantify the world using words and basic math.
When President Obama left, I stayed on at the National Security Council in order to serve my country. I lasted eight days.
In 2011, I was hired, straight out of college, to work at the White House and eventually the National Security Council. My job there was to promote and protect the best of what my country stands for. I am a hijab-wearing Muslim woman––I was the only hijabi in the West Wing––and the Obama administration always made me feel welcome and included.
Like most of my fellow American Muslims, I spent much of 2016 watching with consternation as Donald Trump vilified our community. Despite this––or because of it––I thought I should try to stay on the NSC staff during the Trump Administration, in order to give the new president and his aides a more nuanced view of Islam, and of America's Muslim citizens.
Meet the protesters who tricked conference attendees into waving Russian flags.
Two men made trouble—and stirred up a social-media frenzy—on the third day of the Conservative Political Action Conference by conducting a literal false-flag operation.
Jason Charter, 22, and Ryan Clayton, 36, passed out roughly 1,000 red, white, and blue flags, each bearing a gold-emblazoned "TRUMP" in the center, to an auditorium full of attendees waiting for President Trump to address the conference. Audience members waved the pennants—and took pictures with them—until CPAC staffers realized the trick: They were Russian flags.
The stunt made waves on social media, as journalists covering CPAC noticed the scramble to confiscate the insignia.
No joke, someone has been handing out Russian flags that say #Trump on them. And people are waving them.#CPAC2017 pic.twitter.com/CDZS5oEqyL— Maya Shwayder (@MayaErgas) February 24, 2017
At the Conservative Political Action Conference, career-minded young Republicans are torn over embracing the new nationalism of the president.
OXON HILL, Maryland — If you want to take the temperature of the conservative movement at CPAC, you need to know where to stick the thermometer. It's not in the onstage speeches, or the myriad policy panels, or the boozy after-parties—it's inside Exhibit Hall D on the ground floor of the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.
Here, in what conference organizers have dubbed "The Hub," hundreds of blue-blazered and high-heeled young conservatives roam the cavernous hall—crammed with booths set up by right-wing think tanks, media outfits, pressure groups, and publishers—shopping for a future career. The general vibe is that of a trade show, with attendees perusing pamphlets about D.C. internships, swapping Twitter follows, and taking selfies with minor cable news celebrities. They buy t-shirts with cheeky messages on them ("God is great, beer is good & liberals are crazy"), and the lucky ones make off with a satchel full of swag (the Sheriff David Clarke bobblehead was a particularly hot item this year).
Long after research contradicts common medical practices, patients continue to demand them and physicians continue to deliver. The result is an epidemic of unnecessary and unhelpful treatments.
First, listen to the story with the happy ending: At 61, the executive was in excellent health. His blood pressure was a bit high, but everything else looked good, and he exercised regularly. Then he had a scare. He went for a brisk post-lunch walk on a cool winter day, and his chest began to hurt. Back inside his office, he sat down, and the pain disappeared as quickly as it had come.
That night, he thought more about it: middle-aged man, high blood pressure, stressful job, chest discomfort. The next day, he went to a local emergency department. Doctors determined that the man had not suffered a heart attack and that the electrical activity of his heart was completely normal. All signs suggested that the executive had stable angina—chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle is getting less blood-borne oxygen than it needs, often because an artery is partially blocked.
Technology has its own purposes.
"No… it's a magic potty," my daughter used to lament, age 3 or so, before refusing to use a public restroom stall with an automatic-flush toilet. As a small person, she was accustomed to the infrared sensor detecting erratic motion at the top of her head and violently flushing beneath her. Better, in her mind, just to delay relief than to subject herself to the magic potty's dark dealings.
It's hardly just a problem for small people. What adult hasn't suffered the pneumatic public toilet's whirlwind underneath them? Or again when attempting to exit the stall? So many ordinary objects and experiences have become technologized—made dependent on computers, sensors, and other apparatuses meant to improve them—that they have also ceased to work in their usual manner. It's common to think of such defects as matters of bad design. That's true, in part. But technology is also more precarious than it once was. Unstable, and unpredictable. At least from the perspective of human users. From the vantage point of technology, if it can be said to have a vantage point, it's evolving separately from human use.
The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here's the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.
It's 2021, and President Donald Trump will shortly be sworn in for his second term. The 45th president has visibly aged over the past four years. He rests heavily on his daughter Ivanka's arm during his infrequent public appearances.
Fortunately for him, he did not need to campaign hard for reelection. His has been a popular presidency: Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic. Wages have grown strongly in the Trump years, especially for men without a college degree, even if rising inflation is beginning to bite into the gains. The president's supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies and his TrumpWorks infrastructure program.

Trump is undermining America's national security by trying to shape analysis to support his world view.
The White House recently sought to enlist the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to build a case for its controversial and unpopular immigration ban, CNN reported on Thursday. Among intelligence professionals, the request to produce analysis that supports a favored policy—vice producing analysis, and allowing it to inform policy—is called politicization. It is anathema to the training most analysts receive and the values that lie at the heart of the vocation. There is a high cost to putting ideology over informed assessments of political, economic, and military realities.
At the Central Intelligence Agency, where I served as director of strategy in the Directorate of Analysis, the subject of politicization is introduced to analysts almost as soon as they enter into service. There is good reason for this: Politicization is not an academic issue.
Reporting on the Philippines' drug war
Since the middle of last year, a group of Filipino reporters, photographers, and cameramen have been at the frontline of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs. They are a different type of war correspondent, and the drug war, a different type of war.
The correspondents work what they call the "night shift," the unholy hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., when the dead bodies are found. They wait at Manila's main police station and rush from there to the site of the most recent kill. They keep count of the corpses, talk to witnesses and families, interview the police, attend wakes and funerals. A lot of what the world learned about the carnage, especially in the early months, is due largely to the night shift reporters.
Minimum-wage jobs are physically demanding, have unpredictable schedules, and pay so meagerly that workers can't save up enough to move on.
Fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson made a move that was unprecedented at the time and remains unmatched by succeeding administrations. He announced a War on Poverty, saying that its "chief weapons" would be "better schools, and better health, and better homes, and better training, and better job opportunities."
So starting in 1964 and for almost a decade, the federal government poured at least some of its resources in the direction they should have been going all along: toward those who were most in need. Longstanding programs like Head Start, Legal Services, and the Job Corps were created. Medicaid was established. Poverty among seniors was significantly reduced by improvements in Social Security.
In "American Bitch," Hannah confronts an author accused of sexual misconduct—and sees how her own past fits into a larger system.
Why do the girls of Girls act that way? That's the question underlying five years of baffled cultural responses to Lena Dunham's epic of questionable decisions, cruelty, narcissism, and grace. Girls has never given a straightforward answer to the question. Despite unflinching confessional dialogue and occasional backstory development and sharp cultural satire, Hannah Horvath and her friends still have an air of Athena, sprung into existence fully formed. Asking why these girls spill drinks and impulsively marry and vomit off of bunkbeds is like asking why anyone exists at all.
This has made Girls unusual in a cultural landscape where the tragic flashback is the go-to decoder of individual motivation. To take two recent examples from HBO, The Young Pope connected Pope Pious's childhood abandonment to his adult torment, and Westworld's so-called "key insight" was that to be human is to remember suffering. In society more broadly, ongoing dialogues about trauma, triggering, and privilege—dialogues that Dunham often wades into as a public figure—insist that personal history needs to be taken as seriously as present conduct does.

In a short documentary, a former KKK leader reconnects with the African American woman who helped raise him.
