Trump's litany of lies

Trending on Google+
When Trump campaigned for the office of President, he was lying even to himself..

He was actually campaigning for his fantasy of being an emperor with absolute power over everyone and everything.
Unfortunately, the constitution of the nation limits his powers, and Trump is frustrated yet again by the crushing weight of the existence of laws he feels himself to be above, in a reality that his ego has never admitted exists.

From the article linked below:

Donald Trump appears to have just discovered that he isn’t a dictator and doesn’t have complete control of the FBI and Justice Department.

According to a new report from The Hill, the president said he is “frustrated” that he isn’t “supposed to be involved” in overseeing any potential investigation into his former opponent, Hillary Clinton.

“The saddest thing, is because I’m the president of the United States, I’m not supposed to be involved in the Justice Department,” Trump said in an interview, apparently just discovering that his position does have limits. “I am not supposed to be involved in the FBI. I’m not supposed to be doing the kinds of things I would love to be doing and I’m very frustrated by it.”

Though Trump is correct that he is “not supposed to be involved” in the FBI’s work, he seemed to have forgotten that earlier this year when he admitted that he fired former FBI director James Comey because of the Russia investigation.

But in this rare moment of truth-telling from Trump, he essentially admitted that he wishes he could use the full weight of the FBI and Department of Justice to go after his political opponents, regardless of the fact that there is no merit to the slew of allegations the right-wing has thrown at Clinton. This is a stunning and dangerous admission from a President of the United States.

Meanwhile, in the reality-based world, there is a legitimate and increasingly damning investigation circling the White House in relation to the president’s ties to Russia during last year’s election. Three Trump officials have already been charged and more are likely to come.

Every time Trump cries "fake news" he's lying..

Fortunately, the right-wing fake-news-fabricating media imbeciles who support Trump are also shooting their proverbial foot off with every idiotic conspiracy theory they try to promote.

In one recent incident Alex Jones, the bloated puff adder of the airwaves embarrassed himself completely, tried to blame hackers for his ineptitude, and then ranted "you won't stop us!"...

From the article linked below:

Nothing better illustrates the extent to which conspiracy-mongering is killing the conservative media ecosystem than all the fervent talk about how a secret network of leftist intelligence officials is plotting to overthrow the presidency of Donald Trump.

Diet-pill salesman and far-right talk show host Alex Jones provided the most comical evidence for this during his Tuesday program when he joyously told listeners that he had been given a much-hyped memorandum written by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and other Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee. This apocryphal document supposedly provides iron-clad proof that crazed “Deep State” bureaucrats working in the FBI and elsewhere used the privately funded dossier of allegations against Trump collected by former British spy Christopher Steele to justify illegal wiretapping of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

Scores of House Republicans have hyped “the memo” as utterly damning, yet neither they nor Trump have chosen to release it or the documents on which it was based.

...Jones instructed his camera crew to focus a “document cam” on the papers that he was rifling through, to capture images of the pages for viewers who wanted to hit "pause" and examine them while the sponsor messages played.

But as Jones (who frequently boasts about his personal access to Trump during the president’s many hours of “executive time”) was soon to learn via instant Twitter mockery, his prized printout was nothing more than a court opinion that had been posted online since at least May of last year.

After being ridiculed for his obvious error — the very first page of the document states that it is a judicial ruling — Jones tried to pin blame on unnamed hackers who had seized control of one of his employees’ computers, apparently in support of a “globalist” conspiracy to destroy all nation-states worldwide, just as they were going to upload the document to his InfoWars website.

“While we’re trying to post it, they grab control of the computer and turn it off and fry it right in front of us and then start jumping in — they are inside our computers right now,” Jones said, not bothering to show any evidence of the supposedly nuked PC or explain why the omnipotent hackers hadn't just killed his live stream.
...
[Jones ranted] “But they can’t stop us — they can’t stop us from publishing it because guess what, idiots? Trump already published it. It already got published, we haven’t told you yet. You’re fools! So, you’re not going to stop anything, globalists. Understand that!”

Amid a decades-long career of promoting half-baked ideas, Jones’ Tuesday embarrassment won’t be long remembered. What is much more significant is how the gravel-voiced Texan came to believe he had been given a top-secret document and what that means for the American right.
....
In the old days, Republican political consultants were happy to let purveyors of nonsense exist on the fringes of the conservative movement, as long as the motivated the nutjobs to come out and vote. In a classic illustration of the Biblical admonition that you will sow as you have reaped, it’s the crazy racist uncles of right-wing politics who are effectively now in charge.

Golden Shoe 2018: Messi can't keep up with Harry Kane

Arecent survey valued Harry Kane just behind Neymar and Lionel Messi, but one area where the Tottenham Hotspur striker can trump that star pairing is in the race for the 2018 Golden Shoe.
So far, Kane has 21 goals, putting him ahead of Edinson Cavani and Ciro Immobile on 20, and Messi with 19.
The Argentinian's display against Betis has seen him jump two positions compared with the previous week, whilst Luis Suarez has also had a prodigious rise up the table.
El Pistolero has scored on seven consecutive matchdays, allowing him to draw level with Neymar in twelfth position.

Real Madrid's urgent action to save Cristiano Ronaldo

A solution to Real Madrid's poor form, and in particular that of Cristiano Ronaldo, has been high on a busy agenda for the club's most important figures of late.

With Real's performances over the winter period causing great alarm from the fans to the president, it was felt necessary to pool together some of the team's wisest heads to get to the bottom of their lack of spark.
The result was an agreement between Florentino Perez and Sergio Ramos for the defender to lead an inquest as the pair's understanding is more or less total.

What the centre-back did next was gather Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Marcelo for a dinner that reiterated the club hierarchy's respect and gratitude for the Portuguese winger in particular.
Seeking a return to normality, plenty in Madrid feel the therapeutic meeting, which was one of many, had its desired effect with full-back Marcelo also beginning to shrug off whatever weight was on his back, performing much like his old self against Deportivo La Coruna on the weekend.

Market management



A number of meetings have been held within the capital by Perez, director general Jose Angel Sanchez and Co. with Zinedine Zidane also involved as Real look for a way forward in the transfer market.
In Abu Dhabi, Club World Cup games were followed by intricate analysis sessions focusing on the current squad and potential targets.

What unfolded was a staunch defence from the coach of his players. No signings were desired as Zidane felt no genuine improvements were available during the January window.
This topic will therefore be returned to in the coming weeks and months, as will that of the top players' form, as Los Blancos aim to talk their way out of a crisis and get back to their dominant ways as soon as possible.

CMP 111 LECTURE NOTE
MODULE 1
Definition and meaning of computers:
A computer is an electronic device, use for manipulating data according to a list of instructions. A computer is a machine that is used to process data. In a more formal definition, a computer is any machine or device which, under the control of a stored program, can accept data in a prescribed form, process the data, and supply the results as information in a specified form.
There are three points to note about the above definition, that:
Computer is a machine: It consists of electronic and electro mechanical parts working together, to process data. These machine parts are referred to as computer hardware.
Computer processes data: Essentially, a computer processes data, automatically. It performs three major functions, which include accepting data, often referred as input, processes data and supplies these data or information which is referred to as output.
Computer is controlled by a stored program: A program is a set of instructions which tells the computer what to do. The general term used to describe computer programs is software, in contrast to hardware. A program is normally stored in the computer’s memory while the instructions are being carried out. Professionals trained in the art of instructing the computer to solve problems normally write these programs. The manufacturers permanently fix some programs, called firmware, into the computers. Software can be placed in the computer’s memory, used, taken out, and re-used again whenever required.
When a computer is used, data must be presented to it in a prescribed form. This called data input format. The form, in which data is supplied to the computer, is that in which the program to be used by the computer is expecting it. A computer program is also used to determine the format in which the results are to be supplied. These processes of data in and out are shown in figure 1 below.


                                      input  COMPUTER   output


1.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTERS.
The computer has some distinguishing characteristics that make it different form the tools mentioned above. Such characteristics include: Speed, Capacity, Versatility


Programmability
Speed: Ability to process at very fast rate and accurately. The computer is faster than machines such as the adding machine, slide rule, cash register, calculators, etc.
Capacity: Ability to store and process large amounts of data than all the other machines that processes information.
Versatility: The computer can be used for many things, it can be used for all the things the other information processing tools can be used for, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc. It can also be used for the many other things these information processing tools cannot do, such as processing of examination results and keeping of student’s records.
Programmability: The computer as the ability to be instructed on how to solve a given problem using programming languages like BASIC, FORTRAN etc.
1.3 TYPES OF COMPUTERS.
There are three main types of computers, they include Digital computers Analogue computers and Hybrid computers
These classifications are based on the way they operate.
i. Digital Computers
The word, “digital”, as used here, means whole numbers (discrete); for example, the channel selector on the television set is a digital device because it restricts you to discrete set of channels; one cannot select channel 3.123. Another example is the digital wristwatch, which shows you the exact time in digits. Digital computers are the most common computers. They operate by being given a series of steps of instructions. Some examples of digital computers are IBM 360/370, PDP 11/34. Digital computers are used in offices and schools.
ii. Analogue Computers
Analogue devices have continuous values. For example, the volume control on our television set is an analogue device, because it allows us to adjust the volume continuously in one smooth continuous action. Other examples of analogue devices are thermometers, speedometers, and petrol dispensers at the petrol station, they operate in one smooth
- 5 -
continuous form. Analogue computers operate by accepting data as a quantity varying over a length of time. They are mostly used in industrial operations.
iii. Hybrid Computers
These combine some of the properties of both digital and analogue. For example, setting (programming) on a modern day television set involves both digital and analogue. You first select the channel (digital), then you tune the channel until it receives the station you want clearly (analogue); the station is then stored on that channel (digital). This is an example of a hybrid device; it involves different processes that combine both the properties of analogue and digital. Hybrid computers are not too common; they operate in a programmed form and combine the properties of analogue and digital. An example is a robot used in an industrial environment. The robot first allows the process to get to a particular temperature (analogue); it then does some other processes, which is either digital or analogue.
1.4 CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS.
The following factors are used in classifying computers: size of its internal memory, processing capability, price range and speed of operation. Classification of computers according to their sizes includes: Supercomputers Mainframes Minicomputers, and Microcomputers
i. Supercomputers: These are the largest, fastest and most expensive computers. The cost is several millions of dollars, and the speed is between 600 million to 900 million instructions per second (MIPS). Scientists in weather forecasting, oil exploration, etc. Use these for complex calculations. Examples of supercomputers are CRAY X-MP and CRAY 2, which cost millions.
ii. Mainframes: A mainframe computer is a large computer in terms of price, size of internal memory and speed. Mainframe manufacturers tend to make a “family” or a range of computers, rather than a single computer, in much the same way as a car manufacturer produces a range of different cars. A mainframe also cost millions of dollars. It also has a variety of peripheral devices such as printers, plotters, terminals, etc. more than are found with small computers, and a large amount of external storage. Mainframe computers usually need a specialized environment in which to operate: with dust, temperature and humidity carefully controlled. The size of the internal memory is usually more than 256 megabytes of storage. They are used mostly in large establishments (e.g. universities, banks, commercial houses, etc.). Examples of mainframes are IBM 360/370 systems. NCR V-8800 system.
- 6 -
iii. Minicomputers: Minicomputers were developed in the 1970s for specialised tasks (i.e. they are special purpose computers). They are smaller and less powerful and less expensive than mainframes. Minis, as they are often called, are easier to install and operate and they require less floor space. Minicomputers do not require specialised environment to operate in, but care must always be taken to ward off dust from the equipment. They cost between $15,000 and $200,000. Internal storage capacity of a minicomputer is usually between 128 megabytes and 256 megabytes. Examples include VAX 750/6000, HEWLETT PACKARD 3000, PDP 11 and so on.
iv. Microcomputers: A microcomputer is a computer whose central processing unit (CPU) is based on the microprocessor. Microcomputers are at present the most popular of computers. They are very small (desktop to briefcase size). The capability is generally not as many and not as complex as minis or mainframes. They are easy to use. They can be linked with mainframes and minis, and their capabilities are gradually approaching those of minicomputers. Most microcomputers today generally have between 16 and 128 megabytes. The price ranges from about $400 to over $5,000. Examples include IBM PC and its compatible, Apple Macintosh, etc. They are often called PC’s. There are very different kinds of microcomputer. All of them have a keyboard, which looks like the keyboard of a typewriter. They also have a screen of a television set.

2.0 HISTROY OF COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER GENERATIONS


2.1 EARLY AIDS TO COMPUTING.
i. Fingers and Toes:
The first early aids of counting were the fingers and toes. Man uses his fingers to help him count, it was a very simple device which help man to carry out simple additions. But they are not very good when counting larger numbers more than twenty. So because of this, primitive man started to use stones instead of fingers to help him count.
ii. Stones:
In the early days, when man wants to count say the number of animals he owned, he built a pile of stones with one stone for every animal. After he had finished building the piles he needed, he then needed to look at it and see how many there were on the piles he gathered. This method was used to count larger numbers. The stones could be used to count hundreds of numbers.
iii. Abacus
- 7 -
The next idea was to use coloured beads threaded on a string. At first the beads were made of stones. Around the year 1200, the Chinese used this method to count. The beads were threaded on lines of wire frame. The beads on the first line counted the units. The beads on the second wire counted the hundreds and so on. By moving the beads back and forth along wires, numbers could be added and subtracted. This device was called an ABACUS. An Abacus is a wooden frame with strings on which colourful beads are strong, a picture of this is shown below.

Melatonin


Overview

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour "clock" that plays a critical role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up. When it is dark, your body produces more melatonin. When it is light, the production of melatonin drops. Being exposed to bright lights in the evening, or too little light during the day, can disrupt the body's normal melatonin cycles. For example, jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt melatonin cycles.
Melatonin also helps control the timing and release of female reproductive hormones. It helps determine when a woman starts to menstruate, the frequency and duration of menstrual cycles, and when a woman stops menstruating (menopause). Preliminary research suggests low levels of melatonin help identify women at risk of a pregnancy complication called pre-eclampsia.
Some researchers also believe that melatonin levels may be related to aging. For example, young children have the highest levels of nighttime melatonin. Researchers believe these levels drop as we age. Some people think lower levels of melatonin may explain why some older adults have sleep problems and tend to go to bed and wake up earlier than when they were younger. However, newer research calls this theory into question.
Melatonin has strong antioxidant effects. Preliminary evidence suggests that it may help strengthen the immune system.
If you are considering using melatonin supplements, talk to your doctor first
