Donald Trump Instructs Non-Profit Organization With Hefty Military Contracts To Terminate Employees Critical Of The Government.
At a speech today in Huntsville, Ala., ever divisive President Trump addressed a largely white crowd as "people like yourselves," and referred to protesting athletes, often African American, as "those people." Trump called for "those people" to be fired for protesting the treatment of African Americans at the hands of the police.
He not only called for them to be fired, he called them "sons of bitches."
Trump has sworn to uphold the Constitution yet engages in the character assassination of private citizens because of their political views. Trump has disrespected the highest political office of our land by using it to attempt to suppress unpopular speech. This is not just wrong. It is dangerously wrong.
In Charlottesville, when neo-Nazi scum armed with assault style weapons marched, ready to fight to "Make America White Again" (their words). Trump actually said that some of these people -- armed and ready to kill other Americans for the purpose of eradicating Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Mexicans, Asians, Latinas and even the first real Americans, Native Americans -- Trump said some of these were "nice people."
Compare that to what Trump said to condemn an unarmed black man peacefully protesting by exercising his constitutional First Amendment rights by silently taking a knee.
The President of the United States called this peaceful black man a "son of a bitch."
As Leland Melvin, a former NASA astronaut and NFL player says, this is "appalling, unnerving and reprehensible."
(And yes, the NFL is a non-profit organization and the military has been paying the NFL for color guard and flyovers for years).

Saturn: The Ringmaster | NASA Cassini Mission
[Click on image for full view]
Assembled using RGB filtered images taken by Cassini on October 27, 2004. Rings are true color, Saturn is not.
The Cassini mission was a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Former NASA Astronaut And NFL Player Tells Trump To STFU
Leland Melvin, a former NASA astronaut and NFL player, is not happy with Donald Trump. In a letter to Donny, Melvin writes:
"I used to walk the grounds of UVA in Charlottesville, VA as a graduate student only to watch in horror as those same grounds became a battlefield being trod by Nazi and anti-Semitic worshippers armed with assault style weapons ready to fight to make America White again. (their words). You actually said there were nice people on both sides. People armed and ready to kill other Americans for the purpose of eradicating Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Mexicans, Asians, Latinas and even the first real Americans, Native Americans to make America Great Again were 'nice people'?
"Comparing this to what you say in condemnation of an unarmed black man peacefully protesting by exercising his constitutional First Amendment rights by silently taking a knee is appalling, unnerving and reprehensible.
"Today, you called Colin Kaepernick 'a son-of-a-bitch.'
"You said he should be fired.
"You are calling his white mother a bitch.
"The strong contrast in language for a black man and a Nazi is very telling. Do you have any sense of decency or shame?..."
Melvin concludes his letter to Trump.
"Donald Trump, please know that you are supposed to be a unifier and a compassionate and empathetic leader. If you canβt do the job then please step down and let someone else try."

Yeah I really love this Pixel XL. It's just a genuinely good all around phone. Fastest Android phone I've had to date, camera is awesome, battery life was epic today, and the in hand feel is very good. It's just solid. Possibly perfect! Why did I spend this whole past year hating it? I guess because it didn't have any gimmicks. It's got "normal" sized bezels. It's got a single speaker. It doesn't have an s-pen. It doesn't have a duo camera. And yet it cost so much more than the phone it replaced. Once you own one, you'll get it. It feels like it's worth every penny after you use it for a day!

Want to Take Better Notes? Ditch the Laptop for a Pen and Paper, Says Science
The research was conducted with college students. Some were allowed to take notes during a lecture on a laptop and others had to go old school and write with a pen. Surprisingly, the students who took notes with pen and paper remembered far more than their peers who had a laptop. In addition, in a follow up scenario, both sets of students were allowed to go back to their notes and use them as cheat sheets when asked to talk about the key points from the lecture. In this case also, the students who wrote notes with pen and paper did better. So what was happening? First and most obviously, those with laptops were tempted to do other things on the computer which simply wasn't an option for the pen and paper group. By default, the pen and paper crowd was listening more intently to the lecture. In addition, there was a surprising correlation between how much the students wrote down and how much they remembered, and it was the reverse of what you might think. The laptop group had much more detailed notes. They could keep up better simply because you can type faster than you can write. More words didn't translate into better retention, though. They spent less time really thinking about the words and more time trying to type verbatim what they heard. The pen and paper group, on the other hand, wrote down far less but had to think about what they were choosing to write. It turns out that act of thinking about what was being written was a key part of the way the information got absorbed better into their brains.

Eventually, a child is born but, to Casey's dismay, it's a girl, not a boy. His wife suggests they try again several more times but each time, it's still another girl. Casey is depressed but his pals tell him that in spite of everything, they still make a powerful baseball team. Casey likes the idea and accepts.
