Congressional Democrats have requested an FBI briefing for all members of Congress regarding foreign efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election by spreading disinformation in order to influence lawmakers, according to a letter released Monday.
"We are gravely concerned, in particular, that Congress appears to be the target of a concerted foreign interference campaign, which seeks to launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity, public debate, and the presidential election in November," the Democrats wrote to Wray last Monday.
Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Mark Warner and Chuck Schumer, the authors of the letter, did not specify which foreign governments are allegedly involved in the disinformation efforts, or which lawmakers are being targeted in the scheme.
Some Democratic lawmakers have asserted that the Russian government is behind a disinformation campaign regarding former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter's activities in Ukraine.
Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is leading an investigation into Hunter Biden's work with Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company.
Democratic Sens. Gary Peters and Ron Wyden sent a letter to Johnson last Thursday requesting a briefing about the Burisma-Biden probe, saying they wanted to understand the "counterintelligence implications of foreign election interference and your ongoing investigative work."
Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, may himself have spread Kremlin disinformation related to President Donald Trump and members of his campaign.
Schiff has repeatedly touted the infamous Steele dossier, which alleged that Trump campaign advisers conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
In a March 20, 2017 hearing, Schiff read several of the dossier's allegations into the public record. He has also cited the document in interviews to call for additional investigation into the Trump campaign.
But the dossier, written by former British spy Christopher Steele, may itself contain Russian disinformation.
A Justice Department inspector general's report said that the FBI had evidence that Russian intelligence operatives may have fed disinformation to Steele through his network of sources.
The FBI relied heavily on Steele's information in its investigation into the Trump campaign.

By Yankuba Jallow
Sanna B. Sabally, an erstwhile vice chairman of the defunct AFPRC has given graphic details of tortures supervised by Brigadier-General Alagie Martin.
While testifying before the TRRC on Thursday, 25th November 2019, he told the Commission that Alagie Martin and his team of torturers tortured Ex-Captain Sadibou Hydara until he dies.
"Sadibou Hydara died as a result of the tortures meted on him by Alagie Martin and his men. Alagie Martin was their commander and every day they come to torture us (Sabally and Hydara); he was their head. They have tortured me over 20 instances," Sabally said.
Hydara was the Secretary of State for Interior and also a member of the defunct AFPRC government.
"Malafi Corr used to come with a hammer and there is no part of my body that he doesn't use it on," Sabally said.
He said the late Sadibou Hydara also went through everything he went through.
He said the torture meted on ex-captain Sadibou Hydara by Alagie Martins who is still serving in the Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) and his men resulted to his subsequent demise. He said the members of Alagie Martin' team of torturers were Malafi Corr, Lance Corporal Lamin Sengore, one Ndour, Pa Modou Sarr, Batch Samba Jallow (a driver to Edward Singhatey) and Private Baboucar Bobb.
He said the late captain Hydara died on the 6th June 1995 at 16:17.
"Sadibou Hydara died in my hands. I watched him till he died," Sabally told the Commission.
He said his demise came about when the tormentors (Martin and co.) used an iron rod and beat his testicles until his entire body was bleeding.
"From this time until he died, he was bleeding," Sabally told the TRRC.
Sanna added that he also faced the same torture like Sadibou which nearly made him sterile though after serving his sentence, he underwent treatment.
"Now I am partly healed," he said.
Attempts to Poison Him
He said a few months before his release from prison there had been attempts on his life. He said he was told by one of the cooks to be careful because one Superintendent Yaya Jarju always puts something in his food. He said from this time, he avoided eating from what he used to be served and the cook will provide him with something else.
He said on the 29th August 2003, one Nfamara Sanneh an army officer injected him with an injection that caused his legs to be longer than each other.
At the NIA
He said the investigators used different forms of torture to torture him for him to sign a document indicating that he attempted to take the life of Yahya Jammeh, adding that he has never surrendered to their request. He said after every torture meted on him, the tormentors would bring tape recorder for him to subdue to their demand and if he resists then the torture will continue until he fainted then they will stop.
He said he was tortured severely at the NIA and Mile II. He gave a rundown of his and Hydara's torture in the hands of Brigadier-General Alagie Martin and his men adding that Malafi Corr was the one who used to come with a hammer that he used to beat them.
"Malafi Corr tortured me until I lost my tooth using his hammer," Sabally said.
He said there was a day when these men came for him and took him to security wing 5 while he was naked. He said they forced his head into a liquid that has acid and gasoline.
"They put my head in that bucket having the liquid until I fainted. They put my head in a plastic bag," Sanna explained.
He said there were days when the team of torturers buried him alive thrice. He said they pushed him in a grave and covered him up with sand up to his neck and brought a tape recorder and asked him to say he wanted to kill Chairman Jammeh. He stated that he did not yield to their demand.
Also, he said there was a day when Alagie Martin and his men forced him to defecate and eat it but he couldn't defecate at that time. He said he was severely tortured by the team, especially Lamin Senghore.
He also gave a depressed testimony of his several tortures at the beachside by his tormentors (Martins and co). He said they used to put his head in the water until he fainted and they would remove him and when he starts to regain consciousness, the process of torture would continue.
He told the Commission there was a day when the team of tormentors tied him and put him in a groundnut bag and hung him up.
"I was in the bag upside down until I fainted," Sabally testified.
He said there was a day when Alagie Martin and Lamin Senghore electrocuted him on his private part and his trunk.
"Alagie Martin and Lamin Senghore were always present whenever we were being tortured," Sabally said.
He said at all times, he was been tortured, he was always naked. He said there was a day when the tormentors used a needle and inserted it into his penis.
He said on another day, he was taken to the NIA headquarters to witness the torture of two women by personnel of the NIA, adding that they promised that they would continue to torture them until he agreed to sign the document that he wanted to take the life of Yahya Jammeh.
"He said he did not sign the document. The women were tortured by inserting bananas into their womanhood. One of them cannot conceive anymore and the other cannot copulate now," he said.
He said he was dragged along with the late Hydara on the floor at the NIA headquarters.
Continuation of his Testimony on the November 11 Foil Coup
Ex-Captain Sabally said the AFPRC members held a meeting at the State House and concluded that the ring leaders of the 11th November 1994 foiled coup should be executed.
"Chairman Yahya Jammeh told me clearly that 'you have to execute the ring leaders," Sabally said.
He said after two of the ring leaders were executed at the Fajara Barracks under his commandment, he proceeded to Radio Gambia (now GRTS) where he made an announcement about the circumstances of the coup and apologized to the people of Bakau for the sleepless night.
He said from Radio Gambia, he proceeded to the State House where the Council held a meeting about the remaining ring leaders. He said they agreed that the remaining ones who were captured should be executed while those on the run should be captured. He said they went to the Yundum Barracks and took out the ring leaders from the cells.
"We were there to execute them (the ring leaders)," Sabally noted.
He said the ring leaders were put in a Land Rover and taken to a range around Siffoe and executed.
"I Sanna B. Sabally gave the order for the execution at the range. All Council members except Yahya Jammeh along with Peter Singhatey and our orderlies participated in the execution exercise. I take full responsibility," Sabally confessed.
He said the executed soldiers and officers at the range were; Lieutenant Gibril Saye, Cadet Amadou Sillah, Lieutenant ML Darboe, Bakary Manneh alias 'Nyancho', Abdoulie Bah and Buba Jammeh.
He explained that at the Guard Room of the Yundum Barracks, he nearly shot ex-Captain Edward Singhatey because he shot Corporal Alagie Kebbeh on his tight whilst he was interrogating him as to his knowledge about the foiled coup.
He said after the execution was done, he gave the order for the soldiers to be buried at the Yundum Barracks but the burial did not take place in his presence. He said at the State House, the Council members discussed the ring leaders who were on the run including Lieutenant Binneh Minteh and Sajakal Joof.
The Establishment of the NCC
Sabally said the National Consultative Committee (NCC) was formed by the AFPRC to consult with the members of the public as to how long they want the Council to stay.
"I was totally not in support of the establishment of the NCC," Sabally said adding that this was because before they embarked on the coup, they all swore by the Quran and Bible that they will hand over the government after six (6) months in office. He said, therefore, the establishment of the NCCE was not necessary.
Sabally indicated that he and Sadibou Hydara's opposition for their stay beyond six (6) months and the establishment of the NCC was not taken lightly by the other Council members. He said Baba Jobe, Foday Barry, Saul Ndow and one police officer Jobarteh came to his office and informed him the idea to form the 22nd July Movement.
"I told them categorically that I am not against their move and they could carry on with their plan but I will leave after 6 months," he said.
He said Yahya Jammeh was looking for two and a half years. He expounded that when the NCC submitted its report to Chairman Yahya Jammeh, he talked to the Chairman about the report but the Chairman asked him to come to his office the following morning to talk about it.
"When I came the following morning, I was arrested and taken to Mile II," Sabally said.
His Arrest
He said he was arrested on the 27th January 1995 at the State House. He added that a day or so before his arrest, ex-Captain Edward Singhatey informed him that he should hand over all weapons he had in his possession because civilians feared ministers having them in their offices. He added that he complied and handed over all the weapons. He said he later realised that it was a plan to weaken him whenever he resisted arrest.
He said he was arrested by Kalifa Bajinka, Almamo Manneh, Malafi Corr, Musa Jammeh, Batch Samba Jallow and others on the corridor of the office of Chairman Jammeh.
"They disarmed me, they brought me down and my legs were tied. A few minutes later Sadibou Hydara came and went through the same process," Sabally said.
He said when Sadibou Hydara was being arrested, Edward Singhatey pointed a gun on the forehead of Hydara.
"I told him not to fire (shoot Sadibou)," Sabally adduced.
He said he has never attempted to take the life of Yahya Jammeh, contrary to the news that was broadcast on Radio Gambia that he attempted to kill Chairman Jammeh.
He said he was tried at a court-martial and was convicted on the 23rd December 1995 and sentenced to imprisonment for 9 years which he served completely.
He said Captain Momodou Badjie did not participate in any of the execution because he was in the provinces as a governor. He also said Justice Fafa Edrisa Mba'I was the one who guided the Council in the process of coming up with the decrees because he was the legal-minded man and none of the council members was legal-minded.
Sanna Sabally apologized to the whole Gambia, families of victims of November 11 soldiers as well as civilians who had suffered in his hands and the ex-ministers of the PPP government.
"I came out of prison not bitter but better. I have forgiven all those who tortured me," Sanna stated.
He called on all soldiers to stay in the barracks and execute their constitutional mandate of defending the territorial integrity of the country and not to participate in politics. He challenged officers to attend to their juniors whenever they seek for redress.
"Let us all stay in the barracks and officers should endeavour to address the complaints of their juniors," the witness said.
"I am appealing to Gambians to forgive me. I was a young person without experience," he said.
Sabally expressed his desire to meet the families of the November 11 fallen soldiers.
He said there were a lot of institutional failures in the Gambia.

Should Women Use Creatine?
What is creatine?
Creatine is nitrogenous organic acid that can be found naturally in your body. It is produced in the liver and kidneys and is used to provide energy to the brain and other muscles in the body.
For a complete guide to creatine read: What is Creatine?
Most Women want to take a creatine supplement, but they are afraid of it. The age old myth that it will make you bloated and bulky is the biggest fear factor for women. We have good news for all women out there; creatine will give you more energy for your workouts, increase your stamina, and it will essentially make you stronger. Creatine helps your muscles get the nutrients needed to grow and recover. Here is a great fact ladies, if you eat food, then you already use it. Creatine is created by the body and it is found in many foods we eat such as fish, beef, and lamb. Taken a good creatine alongside a good workout plan and healthy diet can give you unlimited results.
There is tons of evidence that show that a woman's body uses the supplement in the exact same fashion as a man's body and it is just as effective when used consistently. Now Lady's, We cannot tell a lie here, Taking creatine will cause a small amount of water retention. The good news is that the water being stored will be retained mainly in the muscles and may cause you to look a little more defined but not bloated. The water retention is not the same for every person and it depends on many factors such as how many carbohydrates that you take in, your sodium intake, and how much you sweat.
Taking this great supplement, Creatine, Can also have Weight Loss potential while supplementing. Creatine Enables you to workout longer, become stronger, and recover faster, resulting in your body burning more calories than normal. If you combine that calorie burn with gaining lean muscles and you have a metabolic recipe for weight loss. Your body will burn calories all day and even while you sleep. The fat loss is awesome, but let's be clear, creatine is not a diet pill and will only be effective for people who work out regularly.

Check out these great tips on starting your home business!
Making the decision to start a home-based business is scary and exciting at the same time. The following short article will offer you with some knowledge and how-to's from individuals with understanding in starting a home based business and succeeding with it.
A great suggestion for your home business is to try entering an area that is either completely unique or a special section of something else. This can show to be extremely advantageous in regards to market saturation and competitors. Do some research study and see how your idea compares.
Just select a home business if you believe you'll be able to continually scale it up. It's fantastic to have sufficient income for yourself, however what happens if the work ends up being so overwhelming you need to start employing staff?

Britain's Foreign Office said Moazzam Begg and Feroz Abbasi were
among six prisoners at Camp X-ray in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, whom
President Bush designated on Thursday for military trial.
The news angered Begg's father Azmat. "I don't know why he has
been trapped," he told Sky News. "Our government has got to take
very serious steps toward his release. This military tribunal -- I
don't have any trust in it."
Senior U.S. defense officials have refused to give names or
nationalities of the six but said they had attended "terrorist"
training camps and may have been involved in financing Saudi-born
Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.
Human rights campaigners questioned whether they would receive a
fair trial.
"The U.S. Department of Defense will appoint the judges and
prosecutors, control the defense and make up the rules of the
trial," said Stephen Jakobi, Director of Fair Trials Abroad.
"We have got to the point where the hallmarks of the Cuban
exercise are those of a failed and cynical public relations stunt,"
he added.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "This is the very beginning of
the process. They have only been designated at this stage. It is not
automatic that any person so designated will end up before a
military commission."
The European Commission urged the United States to avoid applying
the death penalty to the six captives.

You could be storing items that you don't use often, extra beauty products, or even pet bowls to use later. Toe-kick drawers are usually 4 inches high and set back about 3 inches from the front of your cabinets. They can be 24 inches wide and as deep as your cabinets are. That's a lot of storage space. Here are three helpful reasons you should add at least one toe-kick drawer to your kitchen cabinets.

The course focuses on the components of the method and how they help to structure project delivery. Delegates should note that evening work will be assigned which is not expected to exceed two hours per night.
Specific course content will include:
PRINCE2 Overview
- The structure of the method and the guide will be introduced before we discuss the context within which a PRINCE2 project operates.
- Principles
- The seven PRINCE2 principles provide the framework for managing the project and are built on good practice developed from successful and failed projects.
- Themes and Processes
The seven PRINCE2 themes are aspects of the project that must be continually addressed and integrated as the project journeys through its life cycle.
- Business Case
- Organization
- Quality
- Plans
- Risk
- Change
- Progress
The seven PRINCE2 processes encompass the chronological activities that are required to direct, manage and deliver the project successfully. The activities include pre-project, initiation and delivery, and end with project closure.
- Starting up a Project
- Directing a Project
- Initiating a Project
- Controlling a Stage
- Managing Product Delivery
- Managing a Stage Boundary
- Closing a Project

- There are nine project management team roles recommended by PRINCE2 and we're going to take a look at these in each of them in turn. In fact, actually, we've got four up there, straight away. We've got the executive who controls the project board. It's not a democracy that we vote on anywhere around it. It's the executive that makes all the final decisions and we must only have one executive. The executive reports up to corporate which is not shown but it will be above the board on this diagram, outside of our project management team. And the executive is representing the business then. They want to make sure that what we're doing is delivering value for money and they're also going to be keeping an eye on the business case because they are ultimately then, if they control the board, they're ultimately accountable for the success of the projects and we measure success by whether or not we're going to get the benefits or think we're going to get the benefits as much as whether or not we've met our cost or time targets et cetera. So, the executive represents the business and there's only one of those. They are supported by the senior user or users because we can have more than one of those. And the senior user is going to represent those who will use the product, get benefits to the product or impacted in some way by the final project product. So, there may be actually a fair number of people or roles that could be senior user in the project. And if there are very many of them, then we don't want the project board to become too big and unwieldy because they'll never get anything done so there may be a committee, a subcommittee of users to the side and one of those will be elected or the executive will choose them to be the senior user and they go on the board. So, the senior users are concerned with whether or not our product is fit for purpose. It's a quality angle that they're taking on things here. They need to make sure by telling the rest of the project management team and project manager what we are going to make. So, they need to know what we're going to make and what would be acceptable within it. So, we will gather our quality criteria for quality expectations, sorry, from them and pin them down to measurable acceptance criteria. So, the senior users will tell us what they want and what would be fit for purpose. And so, they're going to be keeping an eye on that and they're going to be making sure that we're going to get a suitable project product at the end of this that will give us the benefits that the organisation requires. So, we have the senior users then and we also have the senior suppliers and they are on the board because they have got lots of expertise, technical expertise and they can tell us what skills and resources are required to complete the products in our projects. There may be one single senior supplier but there could be many others. You could again find yourself in a situation where a committee of suppliers might be formed and then one representative comes on to the project board, may be elected by the executive if nothing else. And the senior suppliers then are thinking about what skills and resources are required. So, we've got the three project interests then represented in our project board and when they come together to make board level decisions, they then become the project board and they will make decisions based on information raised to them by the project manager and they may then go up to the corporate or programme level or customer level above, if they need further advice or to inform the corporate level above of major decisions they've made. So, they're not on the diagram but they are always above the project board. And in fact the project board then acts as a buffer between the rest of the project management team and the corporate level. So, there you have four roles, the project board is made up of three, the senior user, the executive and the senior supplier. The next role to discuss is that of the project manager and we'll return to that in a minute and give you another insight into how much they have to do but the project manager and there is only one of them, they're very busy in a PRINCE2 project because there's lots of things that they've got to manage and delegate and monitor and control. They're going to be responsible for the day-to-day running of the project and they're doing that because they've been given permission to do that by the board. So, the project board will delegate responsibility to the project manager to run the project, one management stage at a time. So, there's a lot of planning, lots of monitoring, lots of controlling going on there. And the project manager is going to be delegating to the team manager or team managers because we could have many team managers. We might have hundreds of products that we need to create within this project and many team managers to create them. So, the project manager will be giving work packages to the team managers and the team managers will then be organising their team members to get them created but notice their team members are not in our project management team. So, the teams will create the products and they'll regularly report progress to the project manager who will then in turn report progress to the board. And the project manager is supported by project support. Project support carries out the administrative tasks and this is not an optional role, none of them are optional actually. There must be somebody carrying out project support, at least one person or maybe a group. In some situations, as I'm sure some of you are aware, it's quite difficult to find enough project support and in fact the project manager often ends up taking on that role as well. Project support are also there to support the team managers and the team managers sometimes end up taking on project support as well. So, we can share those roles. In fact, the project manager could be team manager in smaller projects, particularly if they have the technical expertise and can complete the products themselves. So, the project manager, team manger and project support represents the delivery part. Project manager's managing it but it's the project support and team managers working with the team members that are going to be working together to get through the management stages and make those products. The next role to discuss is the role of change authority because it's inevitable that we will have change requests. We thought we knew what we were going to do at the start but you know things change and issues are raised and some of those issues are requests to change things that have already been agreed. We have a change authority role which is there to examine the change requests and decide whether or not to accept the change or reject the change. And the project manager will, they will receive these change requests and they will, if they have been given some change authority 'cause they could have some themselves, they will actually just make that decision if it's within their limits to do so. But if it's a bigger change and they're not allowed to spend that much money or take that long on one change request like that, then they can escalate up to the change authority. So, the project manager might be given the ability to authorise change that maybe costs a thousand pounds, maybe delays the project by no more than a day but above that limit any change requests go to the change authority and they might have a limit of maybe 10,000 or a week so any changes that will cost more than that and delay more than that would have to be escalated to the board, if the board want that. So actually, the levels of delegated authority will depend on what the project board have decided. They will decide what those levels of authority would be. So, the change authority is a role but the project manager might carry out some change authority responsibilities and also the board would as well but certainly for the big changes, they would make the decisions on those. And the final role to talk about is project assurance. Project assurance give confidence to the project board that the project is on track and that it is being run properly and there are actually three types of project assurance. You can see there we've got connectors from project assurance up to the project board and the members of the board because the senior user will be concerned that things are still going to be fit for purpose and so they will nominate someone in project assurance to audit the work of the project manager, team managers, project support to give them confidence that things are going to be fit for purpose. Now, the executive who represents the business, they want confidence that things are being run properly, that we're using the right policies and procedures and that it still looks like we're going to get value for money. So, they will have somebody in project assurance who will examine and audit the work that's been going on in relation to the business interests. And also the suppliers might have their own policies and procedures and so they will want project assurance to audit the work that's being carried out to ensure that we are using the correct policies and procedures and everything is going as it should. But project assurance is not all about auditing, they are there to support the project manager and team manager and project support as necessary. So, project manager, team manager, project support, they could always go to project assurance and ask for their advice at any time, that's what they're there for. So, the key words to think of when we're thinking about project assurance is giving advice and auditing the work of the project and they're doing that to give confidence to the project board. So, there you go. That's the project management team and all the roles within it and a very quick summary of their responsibilities. And I would suggest that you take a look at chapter seven, we've given you a reading assignment, go and have a look at the different roles there and read in more detail what they're responsible for because that's always good just to have as knowledge in the background, even at foundation level. And we also have appendix C, right at the back of the manual which goes into a lot more detail about what the individual responsibilities should be or are recommended at least by PRINCE2. So, that's another one of your reading activities but that's an extension task, more useful if you're going to come along later to the practitioner part of the course but it's there and it's always interesting to see what they think the different roles should be doing. It would be useful also particularly for the foundation exam to understand the rules around combining roles. Now, I have mentioned that some of the roles can be combined so the project manager could be team manager and project support, project support could also be given to the team manager as well. So, all of those roles could be shared and it depends on the complexity of the project and what's appropriate. But also we need to think about other things as well and we've got that here on the right. We need to think about conflicts of interest. So, where there are conflicts of interest, then we won't combine those roles. We also need to consider individuals capacity. Are they able in all sorts of different ways to do two jobs at the same time? It might be to do with training, capability, time issues. So, do have a think about that. We really want to avoid bottlenecks and I know in a lot of situations resources, human resources are very scarce but ideally, you want to allocate roles so there are no bottlenecks or conflicts of interest and everyone's working within their capacity. So, bearing that in mind, all the roles can be combined, except the executive and project manager. You cannot have one person carrying out the role of executive, making all the final decisions and the project manager who is managing the project day-to-day. I mean the whole point of PRINCE2 is that we have these three levels within the structure. We've got the board directing, the project manager managing and then the team managers delivering products and the project manager has no one to go to if they're going having to go to themselves as executive for decisions, it's you need a, two people at least to carry out those two roles. There's conflicts of interest there. There can only be one executive or project manager and I have mentioned that so that's definitely the rule and that's largely to do with decision making and planning issues. We need only one executive because they make the final decisions. If there's any conflict, it goes up. If it can't be resolved, it goes up to the executive and they make the final decision. But if there's conflict between themselves because there's two of them, well then we're in trouble. So, only one executive around here and there's only one project manager because they need to be that central point of contact. I'll discuss that in a moment. If we've got two or more people as project manager, things slip through the net. Now, it's quite usual to have junior project managers, certainly in large organisations with complex projects and that would be tailoring, if they were managing groups of team managers. But often people are called junior project manager, when actually they're just acting as a team manager and managing a team. So, it sounds more impressive on a business card or on a signature. So, have a think about that we can change the language and the titles of our project management team, that would be tailoring but certainly for our exam just remember the nine that we have here. And another rule then is that the executive's accountability for project success cannot be delegated. It's absolutely their responsibility and they can delegate a lot but they cannot delegate that. They are accountable for the success of the project. And lastly, bearing in mind conflict of interest, assurance roles should not be given to the project manager, team manager or project support. And I mentioned that project assurance are there to audit the work of project manager, team manager, project support. So, if you give them also the audit role, they are auditing themselves and that's definitely a conflict of interest. They are checking their own homework and they might not spot the mistakes. So, bear those in mind, those are the rules and sometimes when you get exam questions, they need you to, well, you need to know those rules in order to get the answer right. The last thing we'll look at then is the role of the project manager. And as you can see here, from the diagram in chapter seven, crikey, that's a lot, yes. The project manager is very busy. They have got an awful lot of responsibility. They are the single focus for day-to-day management in the project and they've got you know line management issues, cost management, they've got to communicate and manage the stakeholders and that's a large part of their job. They're still thinking about quality, not to mention things like change and I won't go through all of these but but clearly you can see this is a very complex role. And this is why I recommend that you take a moment to read about these roles in more detail in the chapter so that you can understand fully what they involve. And there you go. That's it from me. That's the end of this part.

Top 8 Upcoming Phones To Look out for in 2020
Over the years, smartphones have transformed into completely different devices to what they were before. Initially, when the smartphones were launched or introduced into the world, they used to be these big and thick communication devices that only a handpicked of the people had. With the passage of time, the phones transformed into mini devices and there were very small phones available in the market.
However, now bigger screens have been taking all over the world. You can see the top brands like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Vivo or even Oppo are launching phones with great screen technology. In fact, the recent phone of Oppo is well equipped with all the features that a 2019 phone should have. It is also expected that the Oppo a5 2020 price in Pakistan will also remain the same. Hence, one can always check this mid-range, yet amazing phone anytime.
Fast-forwarding to 2020, there are a lot of speculations that have been making rounds about the new and innovative technology we will notice in smartphones. The year 2019 has been the one where 5G and artificial intelligence was introduced to us whereas experts are calling 2020 to be a revolutionary year for smartphones. With so much competition all around, the brands have been working very hard to bring something very unique in their smartphones. In fact, every brand has something very different planned for 2020 and there are a lot of rumors in the consumer market. Meanwhile, we have comprised a list of phones that you need to watch out in 2020.
iPhone X Fold
iPhone is surely one of the smartphones that create a stir in the marketplace, all year round. Even with iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, there were lots of speculations going around before its official launch, where the design of the phone was the main highlight. Anyway, it is expected that the iPhone would also be getting in the folding phone business, and it will launch its first folding phone in 2020. The phone is expected to be more than 2x times more expensive than the regular iPhone.
Samsung Galaxy S11
Recently, there were some leaked patent images of the Galaxy S11 that showed the phone to have a completely bezel-less display in 2020. The screen also has the functionality of extendibility and it can become into a more gigantic screen. However, nothing is confirmed yet. Many times companies also release patents just so that they could use that design in the future. Samsung can use the former camera sensor feature in the S11 too that can capture 64MP images at resolution of 0.8μm.
Xiaomi Mi Flex
A smartphone by Xiaomi that would be the brand's entry into foldable phones. the Mi Flex will have not just one, but double screens. A big screen will be at the front, and the secondary screen will be at the op back. The smartphone will have a triple camera system, with a pop-up selfie camera. The phone will also feature a hidden earpiece.

The smartphone is expected to launch in the mid of 2020, at a reasonable price range.
OnePlus 8
The company has been launching its phones every year, since the initial launch of the OnePlus 1. The OnePlus 8 will come in two versions and would have improved battery life. The screen of the phone will be much bigger compared to the former devices. We will also be able to see some camera enhancements done on the smartphone, as the previous models didn't have any great luck in their camera features. An HDR technology is also expected in the new smartphone.

Well, you'd think twice about complaining about the lack of leg room had you seen some of the earliest planes. It was only in the early 1900's that planes started being used commercially and even then, the first commercial aircraft the Benoist XIV could only carry one passenger - a far cry from the hundreds of people you will share a plane with going on holiday today.

Carpenter Ants in Kansas City
Carpenter Ants in Kansas City
Carpenter Ants in Kansas City
Scientific Name: Camponotus spp.
Class/Order/Family: Insecta/Hymenoptera/Formicidae
Subfamily: Formicinae
Carpenter Ants in Kansas City. We recognize the Carpenter Ant worker as polymorphic, multiple sizes. They all vary greatly in size, between 1/8 to 1/2 inches in length. Their color is Black or combinations of red and black or completely red or brown. Carpenter Ants have a 12-segmented antenna without a club. The Thorax lacks spines, and the profile is evenly rounded on the upper side. The Pedicel is 1-segmented, and the Gaster has an anal opening round, which is surrounded by a circlet of hairs. The stinger is absent, and the workers are capable of emitting a strong formic acid odor.
Damage: External evidence of infestation other than the presence of workers and/or swarmers is the expelling of debris, which consists of sawdust-like shavings and/or fragments of insulation and insect body parts that accumulate below such holes. This is a good indication of an infestation. A gallery of tunnels is formed in the wood, which has a sand-papered appearance or finished off the look. The active galleries are kept clean of debris.
Most of the Carpenter Ant species will establish their first nest in a piece of decayed wood and then will expand into more sound wood. Nests that are located inside are found in wood softened by fungus rot. Carpenter Ant nest can also be found in the ground outdoors. The nest is sometimes mistaken for Fire Ant Nest.
Management: After a thorough inspection by ZipZap Bed Bug KC, we will determine the proper techniques required to ensure eradication of the Carpenter ants affecting your structure. Our Board Certified Entomologist will prescribe a program that will be specific to your unique Carpenter Ant infestation problem. Your Carpenter Ant problem will be no longer through the proper use of baits or liquid chemical treatments.

The Pioneers
Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important and dramatic chapter in the American story—the settling of the Northwest Territory by dauntless pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would come to define our country.
The immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River, was opened to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement with three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. This is a revelatory and quintessentially American story, written with David McCullough's signature narrative energy.
The American Spirit
A timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, the most honored historian in the United States—winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among many others—that reminds us of fundamental American principles.
Over the course of his distinguished career, David McCullough has spoken before Congress, colleges and universities, historical societies, and other esteemed institutions. Now, at a time of self-reflection in America following a bitter election campaign that has left the country divided, McCullough has collected some of his most important speeches in a brief volume designed to identify important principles and characteristics that are particularly American. The American Spirit reminds us of core American values to which we all subscribe, regardless of which region we live in, which political party we identify with, or our ethnic background. This is a book about America for all Americans that reminds us who we are and helps to guide us as we find our way forward.

The North Face, the world's premier supplier of authentic, innovative and technically advanced outdoor apparel, equipment and footwear, today announced ultra-runner Rob Krar, of Flagstaff, Ariz. has joined its global athlete team. The North Face has a team of more than 70 professional global athletes, which includes runners, snowboarders, skiers, rock climbers and mountaineers
"Rob has proven that he is a world-class competitor at any distance, but it is his ability to push his mental and physical limits in the outdoors that make him such a great addition to our athlete team," said Aaron Carpenter, vice president of marketing for The North Face. "The way he dove headfirst into ultrarunning, how he's attacked longer distances this season, and his passion for environmental stewardship is inspiring to the entire family at The North Face. We are excited to work with him in accomplishing his goals."
A competitive runner in high school and college, Krar started running ultra distances on a whim last year "just to see what it would be like." Although he has been running and racing for years, he won the La Sportiva Mountain Cup in 2012 and set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for the single crossing of the Grand Canyon north to south route in little more than 2h51m. In his short time on the ultrarunning scene, Krar has made a
name for himself.
With a focus on longer distances, Krar started the 2013 season with a record-setting win at the Leona Divide 50 in Southern California in April, besting the rest of the field by nearly an hour and earning entry into the renowned Western States Endurance Run. Just 13 days later, he achieved what he calls his proudest running accomplishment to date: Blazing across the Grand Canyon and back — 42 miles — in 6h21m, shattering the FKT previously held by Dakota Jones on what is known as the Rim to Rim to Rim by an incredible 32 minutes.
In July, Krar doubled the farthest distance he'd ever run in his Western State 100 debut and, in near record-setting heat, placed second just minutes behind fellow The North Face athlete and two-time Western States 100 Champion Timothy Olson.
Alongside veteran The North Face team member Michael Wardian, Krar will be representing The North Face for the first time Saturday in the Ultra Race of Champions (UROC) 100k in Colorado.
"I'm thrilled to be an ambassador of The North Face, a company committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and exploring the unexplored," said Krar. "It's humbling to be included among so many remarkable athletes as a member of the global team, many of whom have inspired me to push beyond my perceived limitations and persevere."
Krar will be working closely with The North Face Research, Design and Development team, on performance apparel and footwear. His expertise and experience will add to the rapidly developing collection. When he's not running, he can be found climbing Flagstaff's limestone rocks, casting a line in the Colorado River or rolling the beautiful single-track on his mountain bike.
For more than 40 years The North Face has teamed up with the world's best athletes, mountaineers, alpinists, climbers, skiers, snowboarders and endurance adventurers who have defined the limits of what is humanly possible. The North Face ultra-running Team includes Jez Bragg, Sébastien Chaigneau, Lizzy Hawker, Tsuyoshi Kaburaki, Dean Karnazes, Nikki Kimball, Hal Koerner, Kami Semick, Diane Van Deren, Michael Wardian, Mike Wolfe, Rory Bosio, and Timothy Olson and all are excited to have Krar as part of the team.

There's been quite a bit of discussion this week about Perl 5.6, and how much effort people should put into their ensuring their CPAN distributions work with 5.6. The question I haven't seen asked: is anyone still using 5.6 in production?
Perl 5.6 was released in 2000, and it was a major step forward in a number of ways: Unicode support, the warnings pragma, lvaluable subs, weak references, POSIX character classes and more.
The whole "5.6 support discussion" was apparently started by one of MIYAGAWA's tweets:
"if uploading a module to CPAN means a commitment to support 5.6 i would have never uploaded one"
Following discussions on IRC, twitter and elsewhere, Matt Trout wrote up his thoughts. In response, David Golden wrote up why you shouldn't waste your time on Perl 5.6. Bálint Szilakszi then argued that we should stop supporting 5.6 for security reasons.
MSTROUT and CHROMATIC subsequently had a discussion in reddit comments, which clarified a number of things.
I remembered that MIYAGAWA's cpanm tool keeps track of the versions of Perl seen. I wondered whether that sees any Perl 5.6 users, but Miyagawa-san pointed out that cpanm doesn't support 5.6. He did provide a month's worth of data, which I summarised by major version:
Even numbers are stable releases, the odd numbers are development releases, which is why you don't see much activity for the older development releases (curious that there are any for 5.13.x, 5.15.x, and 5.17.x!)
Notice that the most popular version (amongst cpanm users, remember) is 5.18.x, but the second most popular version is 5.10.x; Perl 5.10.0 was released in December 2007.
Here's that data as a pie chart:
Just over 3% of the requests are from Perl 5.8. I wondered how many of those are smokers and toolchain developers, as opposed to "real-life users of 5.8", but Miyagawa-san told me that the cpanm stats already exclude smokers, CI, etc, as much as possible.
In an interesting P5P post 2 years ago, RIBASUSHI pointed out that although the cpanm userbase is skewed towards early adopters, they're running old versions of Perl. From which I think he's saying that we can assume there are more people out there running very old versions of Perl than we might think.
Are you using Perl 5.6 in production anywhere? Please let me know if you are, and I'll produce some kind of summary. I'll anonymise the data, if you (or your company) don't want people to know you're using Perl 5.6.
Thanks to Miyagawa-san for producing the data.comments powered by Disqus
