Japanese (Famicom) cartridges are shaped slightly differently. While the NES used a 72-pin interface, the Famicom system used a 60-pin design. Unlike NES games, official Famicom cartridges were produced in many colors of plastic. Adapters, similar in design to the popular accessory Game Genie, are available that allow Famicom games to be played on an NES. In Japan, several companies manufactured the cartridges for the Famicom. This allowed these companies to develop their own customized chips designed for specific purposes, such as chips that increased the quality of sound in their games.

Big Brother and the Holding Company is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1965 as part of the same psychedelic music scene that produced the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Jefferson Airplane. They are best known as the band that featured Janis Joplin as their lead singer. Their 1968 album Cheap Thrills is considered one of the masterpieces of the psychedelic sound of San Francisco; it reached number one on the Billboard charts, and was ranked number 338 in Rolling Stone's the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album is also included in the book 1001 Albums
Joplin sang for the first time with Big Brother in 1966. Years later, Andrew described the band's first impressions of her: We were the established rock and roll band. We were heavy. We were like: all right, out of three or four bands in this city, we are one of them. We're in the newspapers all the time. We're working out. We are doing this woman a favor to even let her come and sing with us. She came in and she was dressed like a little Texan. She didn't look like a hippie, she looked like my mother, who is also from Texas. She sang real well but it wasn't like, "Oh we're bowled over." It was probably more like, our sound was really loud. It was probably bowling her over. I am sure we didn't turn down enough for her. She wrote letters home about how exotic all of us were. The names of the bands. That kind of thing. In other words, we weren't flattened by her and she wasn't flattened by us. It was probably a pretty equal meeting. She was a real intelligent, Janis was, and she always rose to the occasion. She sang the songs. It wasn't like this moment of revelation like you would like it to be. Like in a movie or something. It wasn't like, "Oh my God, now we have gone to heaven. We have got Janis Joplin." I mean she was good but she had to learn how to do that. It took her about a year to really learn how to sing with an electric band. It took a while for some of the band's followers to accept the new singer and her current boyfriend, keyboardist Stephen Ryder. Her music was completely different from that which Big Brother was playing at that time. Big Brother had a very experimental and unconventional sound, but with Joplin, they became more disciplined musicians, their songs adopted a more traditional structure, and the band started to increase its popularity in the San Francisco psychedelic scene.

Brigham Young University (often referred to as BYU or, colloquially, The Y) is a private research university located in Provo, Utah, United States. It is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and, excluding online students, is the largest of any religious university and the third largest private university in the United States, with 29,672 on-campus students. Approximately 99 percent of the students are members of the LDS Church, and one-third of its US students are from Utah.
Students attending BYU are required to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings such as academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, and abstinence from extramarital sex and from the consumption of drugs and alcohol. Many students (88 percent of men, 33 percent of women) either delay enrollment or take a hiatus from their studies to serve as Mormon missionaries. (Men typically serve for two-years, while women serve for 18 months.) An education at BYU is also less expensive than at similar private universities, since "a significant portion" of the cost of operating the university is subsidized by the church's tithing funds.

Flight of Fury starts as General Tom Barnes (Angus MacInnes) organises an unofficial test flight of the X-77, a new stealth fighter jet with the ability to literally turn invisible. General Barnes gives his top pilot Colonel Ratcher (Steve Toussaint) the job & everything goes well until the X-77 disappears, even more literally than Barnes wanted as Ratcher flies it to Northern Afghanistan & delivers it to a terrorist group known as the Black Sunday lead by Peter Stone (Vincenzo Nicoli) who plans to use the X-77 to fly into US airspace undetected & drop some bombs which will kills lots of people. General Barnes is worried by the loss of his plane & sends in one man army John Sands (co-writer & executive producer Steven Seagal) to get it back & kill all the bad guy's in the process...
This American, British & Romanian co-production was directed by Michael Keusch & was the third film in which he directed Seagal after the equally awful Shadow Man (2006) & Attack Force (2007), luckily someone decided the partnership wasn't working & an unsuspecting public have thankfully been spared any further collaboration's between the two. Apparently Flight of Fury is an almost scene-for-scene word-for-word remake of Black Thunder (1988) starring Michael Dudikoff with many of the same character's even sharing the same name so exactly the same dialogue could be used without the makers even having to change things like names although I must admit I have never seen Black Thunder & therefore cannot compare the two. Flight of Fury is a terrible film, the poorly made & written waste of time that Seagal specialises in these days. It's boring even though it's not that slow, the character's are poor, it's full of clichés, things happen at random, the plot is poor, the reasoning behind events are none existent & it's a very lazy production overall as it never once convinces the viewer that they are anywhere near Afghanistan or that proper military procedures are being followed. The action scenes are lame & there's no real excitement in it, the villains are boring as are the heroes & it's right down there with the worst Seagal has made.
Flight of Fury seems to be made up largely of stock footage which isn't even matched up that well, the background can change, peoples clothes change, the area changes, the sky & the quality of film changes very abruptly as it's all too obvious we are watching clips from other (better) films spliced in. Hell, Seagal never even goes anywhere near a plane in this. The action scenes consist of shoot-outs so badly edited it's hard to tell who is who & of course Seagal breaking peoples arms. The whole production feels very cheap & shoddy.
The IMDb reckons this had a budget of about $12,000,000 which I think is total rubbish, I mean if so where did all the money go? Although set in Afghanistan which is a war torn arid desert Flight of Fury looks like it was filmed down my local woods, it was actually shot in Romania & the Romanian countryside does not make a convincing Afghanistan. The acting is terrible as one would expect & Seagal looks dubbed again.
Flight of Fury is a terrible action film that is boring, amateurish & is an almost scene-for-scene remake of another film anyway. Another really lazy & poorly produced action thriller from Seagal, why do I even bother any more?

A Nigerian militant group on Saturday announced the deaths of seven workers from a construction company who had been taken hostage last month. The group, Ansar al-Muslimeen (widely known as Ansaru), released video stills of some of the bodies and blamed the deaths on a joint Nigerian-British military operation intended to free the hostages. Neither of those governments confirmed the purported operation. "We are aware of reports of the death of a British national in Nigeria and are urgently investigating," according to the Foreign Office. "We urge the media not to speculate at this extremely sensitive time." The militants on February 18 claimed responsibility for the kidnappings of the seven construction workers taken from their office in northeastern Nigeria. At the time, in an e-mail sent to reporters, Ansaru said it taken the hostages two days earlier because of "transgression and atrocities" against Islam in Afghanistan, Mali and other locations. Those kidnapped included workers from Italy, Greece, Britain and Lebanon. Gunmen took the workers from the offices of Setraco, a construction company in Jama'are, in Bauchi State, police said. The company is based in Abuja and is involved in many major road construction projects in northern Nigeria. The gunmen first attacked a prison, burning two police trucks, public service broadcaster Voice of Nigeria reported, citing state police spokesman Hassan Muhammed. They then killed a guard at the Setraco workers camp before kidnapping the workers, Muhammed told the broadcaster. In December, the group claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of a French citizen near the border with Niger and for an attack on a prison in Abuja in November. U.S. officials say Ansaru is an offshoot of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which Nigerian authorities say is behind a recent rash of killings and kidnappings in the country. Boko Haram -- whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" -- has killed more than 2,800 people in an escalating campaign to impose strict Islamic law on largely Muslim northern Nigeria, according to Human Rights Watch. Incidents have included the killings of three North Korean doctors in northern Yobe and the killings of nine people working for a government polio vaccination program in the northern city of Kano this month.

The relationship between ethnic Greek identity and Greek Orthodox religion continued after the creation of the Modern Greek state in 1830. According to the second article of the first Greek constitution of 1822, a Greek was defined as any Christian resident of the Kingdom of Greece, a clause removed by 1840. A century later, when the Treaty of Lausanne was signed between Greece and Turkey in 1923, the two countries agreed to use religion as the determinant for ethnic identity for the purposes of population exchange, although most of the Greeks displaced (over a million of the total 1.5 million) had already been driven out by the time the agreement was signed.[note 1] The Greek genocide, in particular the harsh removal of Pontian Greeks from the southern shore area of the Black Sea, contemporaneous with and following the failed Greek Asia Minor Campaign, was part of this process of Turkification of the Ottoman Empire and the placement of its economy and trade, then largely in Greek hands under ethnic Turkish control.

I saw this film prior to joining the British Army. I went through my basic training, at first difficult and then as I progressed much easier. My time was spent during the height of the troubles in NI and the cold war. There was times when I questioned myself on what I had gotten myself into, not for long, as the training would always take over and you would always react instinctively. The voice over used to display what the soldiers are thinking is spot on, though I would have added breathing and heart rate as this seems to pound in your ear drums in given situations. Some years later I was in Canada for a family get together. An Aunty of mine who lives in the USA and is a lecturer at the Columbus Uni Ohio had done a paper on the effects of the British Army in NI. She spent some time out there researching. Although an ex pat she was very anti-British. She made a bee line for me and condemned me for being a British soldier. My only answer was see the film 'A long day's dying'. It's the closest a civilian will get to realise why a soldier does what he does. The answer is right at the end.

Greetings again from the darkness. What ever happened to the great Barry Levinson? He directed two of my all-time favorites in "Avalon" and "Diner". He had some fine movies as well ("Rainman"), but always provided something of interest ... until now. I believe the worst thing you can ever say about a comedy is that it is boring. "Envy" is the definition of boring. Never of big fan of pure slap stick ("Dumb and Dumber"), I was just stunned at how god-awful this movie is. There are maybe 2 chuckles in the whole thing - if you can pay attention that long. The best part of the film is the running gag of the title song by a Redbone sound-alike. If the film had been written as well as the song, it would have been tolerable. Rachel Weisz is a wonderful actress and I realize they all want to do comedy (even Julianne Moore), but the real world exposes one weaknesses. SNL cast member Amy Poehler is her usual over the top in her role as trailer park trash turned princess. The disaster of the film is Jack Black and Ben Stiller. The first work commute together flashes some promise, but after that their chemistry disappears due to the poor script. This script is like most of Jack Black's character's ideas - not a bad thought, but no hope for success.

Here is a news article: Reuters President Donald Trump.
Six months into his administration, President Donald Trump is mired in three investigations surrounding Russian involvement in the election and hasn’t pushed through Congress any measure reforming health insurance, taxes or infrastructure.
On the other hand, the economy is doing well. That’s what MarketWatch’s Trump Scoreboard shows as the 45th president marks six months on the job.
Of the three prime measures of Trump’s performance — jobs, pay and the stock market — the president is doing well on two fronts, jobs and markets.
Pay growth, on the other hand, hasn’t really taken off.
Also read: U.S. economy poised for faster growth? Leading indicators say yes ||||| President Trump has been in the White House for exactly six months, and in that time he’s torched the most precious thing a new president gets: his honeymoon. Instead, Trump looks more like he needs marriage counseling.
To be charitable, as they say in Silicon Valley, the president has failed fast. He needs a reboot. And we’re here to help.
Look beyond his baffling tweetstorms about Mika and Joe and check the president’s record. Despite having full GOP control of Congress, Trump has no major legislative accomplishments, record low approval ratings and no promised health care overhaul, and he has inspired world leaders — even his fellow Americans — to wonder if the country has abdicated its role as international leader. And that’s the good news.
The bad news: Four Congressional committees and a special counsel are investigating whether his campaign colluded with Russia to rig the U.S. election.
But hey, it’s only the first six months. Here’s a road map for Trump 2.0:
Get out of the house: The president is a natural communicator. Regardless of what you think about his policies or his rhetoric, there’s no denying that he feeds off live crowds and generates energy whenever he hits the road. He desperately needs some juice now.
The problem is that he’s held only five campaign-style rallies since taking office, and all have been in states that he won — two were in deep-red Kentucky and Tennessee.
Instead, hold a rally in a swing state. Or — yes, really — a blue state. Visit the states of senators who are wavering on the health care bill. Or go to a city with terrible roads and talk about infrastructure. Just get out there.
But get off the golf course: It’s not like Trump hasn’t had time to visit a swing state. Through July 16, Trump had visited one of the 17 golf clubs he owns 40 times since becoming president. Not that he necessarily played a round during every visit, but we’re guessing he didn’t encounter a lot of swing voters hanging around the 19th hole waiting to talk about Medicaid reform.
Trump used to mock President Barack Obama for spending too much time on the links. But through a specific point in each presidency, July 9, Trump had played 19 times compared to Obama’s eight, according to the nonpartisan site Politifact.
Sell, sell, sell: For someone who touts himself as being the best at “The Art of the Deal,” Trump whiffed on using his populist appeal to win votes for the GOP health care plan. Forget the last-minute lunch he had Wednesday with Republican senators to try to resuscitate the apparently dead repeal effort. Too little, too late.
He gave no speech to the nation explaining what he wanted the legislation to look like and why it was necessary. Held no news conferences on the subject. Fronted no town halls. Pretty weak for a candidate who promised that repealing and replacing Obamacare would be a “day one” priority for him.
The result: Even his base didn’t support it.
In the counties that propelled him to the presidency, only 12 percent of the people said the House version of the GOP health care bill was a good idea, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey out this week. Of the Trump voters living in those counties, the poll found that 25 percent considered it was a good idea and 59 percent had no opinion or weren’t sure. A good salesman doesn’t leave that kind of money on the table.
Let Melania change your Twitter password — and keep it: As a campaigner, Trump’s use of Twitter was ground-breaking and politically masterful, at times, for how he circumvented media scrutiny to “speak” directly to his supporters. His feed was also crass, insulting and juvenile. Now that he’s president, voters are getting tired of it.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll out this week found 68 percent of the respondents felt Trump’s use of Twitter was “inappropriate,” 65 percent “insulting,” 52 percent even “dangerous.” Translation: They’re not saying don’t use it; they’re saying use it like someone who has gone through puberty.
So here’s a win-win proposal. First lady Melania Trump said one of her top priorities would be to curb cyberbullying. Since she hasn’t done much toward that goal, the president can help her out. Trump should give Melania his password and let her screen his tweets.
Wonk out: There is little public evidence the president is proficient in the policy details of, say, the GOP health care plan. If he were, perhaps we would have seen him explain it in something longer than 140 characters.
It’s not enough, wrote Amy Walter, an analyst with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, for Trump to try to succeed by merely being a deal maker.
In the health care fight, Trump’s “lack of hands-on interest in the details ultimately mattered more than his desire to win. The transactionalism that he practiced in business isn't workable on a bill this complex and emotionally freighted,” Walter said.
Trump has bragged that “I’m, like, a smart person” who went to an Ivy League school. Show it. Turn off “Fox and Friends” and pick up a policy briefing book. In Washington, a little knowledge goes a long way. It could help sell what’s likely up next for him: tax reform.
Let. It. Go. Eight months after the election, Trump remains obsessed with Hillary Clinton. She is Trump’s sixth-favorite Twitter topic (tied with “Comey,” and just behind “Obama,” but far behind the leader: “fake news.”) He even peppers his real-world chatter with asides about how much worse life would be “with Hillary.”
Nobody not named Clinton cares anymore. A Bloomberg Poll out this week shows that not only has Clinton’s approval rating dropped to 39 percent, but also she is the first losing presidential candidate since 1992 whose approval rating decreased after the loss.
Take heed, Mr. President. You won ... eight months ago. If this were the NFL, Trump would be flagged for excessive celebration.
The problem with Trump as president: Election night remains one of the few things he’s had to celebrate.

Today is President Trump’s 182nd day in office — six months. While reporters don’t catch wind of every meeting Trump holds, the daily guidance that the White House releases on his schedule often shows more depth than Barack Obama’s schedule regularly revealed. Trump frequently releases information on not just events open to the White House press pool but also his closed events, even mundane appointments with his chief of staff and meals with other officials and lawmakers, the most common dining companion being Vice President Mike Pence, who has broken bread with the president at least 20 times.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has had 24 noticed meetings with the president — the most of any confirmed administration official. So Tillerson, a former Exxon CEO, may be Trump’s favorite Cabinet secretary, or the two simply have a lot of pressing diplomatic concerns to talk about.

Trump has held at least 41 meetings with members of Congress, including at least 14 on health care reform. The reality is likely far higher, as lawmakers frequently accept invitations or visit privately. Trump has even held a few meetings with Democrats — including Rep. Elijah Cummings and the predominantly Democratic Congressional Black Caucus — and hosted senators from both parties for cocktails and a performance from the U.S. Army Chorus and U.S. Marine Chamber Orchestra.

Trump has signed 42 pieces of legislation — 19 resolutions and 23 laws — though Republicans have been blasted as a do-nothing Congress, since health care repeal still has not reached the Resolute Desk for his signature.

During his first 100 days, Trump did not take an international trip. But since then, he has made three trips abroad, touching down in eight countries: Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium, Italy, Vatican City, Poland, Germany and France. He has traveled across the United States for five rallies and has a sixth planned in Youngstown, Ohio, on July 25. He has taken 11 trips to his properties in Florida and New Jersey and spent one weekend at Camp David.

Number of days left in Trump’s first term ||||| Six months into President Trump's term, he has made 836 misleading claims, averaging 4.6 per day. (Meg Kelly/The Washington Post)
Shortly before reaching the six-month mark of his presidency, President Trump made an assertion and then paused that perhaps he should not be so definitive. “I better say ‘think,’ otherwise they’ll give you a Pinocchio,” he said. “And I don’t like those — I don’t like Pinocchios.”
As it turned out, the president’s claim — that he has signed more bills (42) at this point than “any president ever” — was completely wrong. Just among recent presidents, he’s behind Jimmy Carter (70 bills signed), George H.W. Bush (55) and Bill Clinton (50).
So it goes with Trump, the most fact-challenged politician that The Fact Checker has ever encountered. As part of our coverage of the president’s first 100 days, The Fact Checker team (along with Leslie Shapiro and Kaeti Hinck of the Post graphics department) produced an interactive graphic that displayed a running list of every false or misleading statement made by the president. He averaged 4.9 false or misleading claims a day.
Readers encouraged us to keep the list going for the president’s first year. So at the six-month mark, the president’s tally stands at 836 false or misleading claims. That’s an average of 4.6 claims a day, not far off his first 100-day pace.
We decided to compile this list because the pace and volume of the president’s misstatements means that we cannot possibly keep up. This interactive database helps readers quickly search a claim after they hear it, because there’s a good chance he has said it before. But the database also shows how repetitive Trump’s claims are. Many politicians will drop a false claim after it has been deemed false. But Trump just repeats the same claim over and over.
Trump’s most repeated claim, uttered 44 times, was some variation of the statement that the Affordable Care Act is dying and “essentially dead.” But the Congressional Budget Office has said that the Obamacare exchanges, despite well-documented issues, are not imploding and are expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future. If anything, actions taken by the Trump administration have spawned uncertainty. Several insurance companies have cited Trump administration policy as a reason to leave insurance markets in certain states, though others have sensed opportunity and moved in to replace insurers who have left.
The apparent implosion of the Senate health-care bill suggests the limits of Trump’s rhetoric. His repeated claim that Obamacare has already failed or is dead, in the face of objective evidence that the law is actually working, failed to win enough votes for passage — and failed to sway Democrats to consider working with him. Only rarely has the president tried to make a positive case for action on health care, as opposed to simply tearing down the Affordable Care Act.
Trump, as he did during the presidential campaign, also exaggerated the impact of increases in premiums on the Obamacare exchanges, cherry-picking numbers from a handful of states. Trump also frequently uses the calculation of premium increases without incorporating the impact of tax credits — which most people in the exchanges receive. If you take the subsidies into account, the average monthly premium of most people in the Obamacare exchanges goes down, not up.
Trump also has a disturbing habit of taking credit for events or business decisions that happened before he took the oath of office — or had even been elected. Some 30 times, he’s touted that he secured business investments and job announcements that had been previously announced and could easily be found with a Google search. Nearly 20 times he’s boasted that he achieved a reduction in the cost of Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, even though the price cut had been in the works before he was elected.
Trump even claimed that it took “one sentence” to get the president of China to agree to sell U.S. beef in China. “I said, President Xi, we’d love to sell beef back in China again. He said, you can do that. That was the end of that,” Trump bragged on July 17. Perhaps it was so easy because the Obama administration already had brokered the beef deal back in September. The only thing that was new was a set date for beef sales to start.
Seventeen times, Trump asserted that because he demanded NATO members pay their fair share, “billions of dollars more have begun to pour into NATO.” But at a NATO summit in 2014, after Russian aggression in Ukraine, NATO members pledged to stop cutting their defense expenditures and by 2024 “move toward” a goal of spending at least 2 percent of gross domestic product on defense. Since the 2014 meeting, defense expenditures from member countries have increased steadily.
The cumulative spending increase from 2015 to 2017 above the 2014 level is an additional $45.8 billion, according to NATO, with another increase of $13 billion expected in 2017. But these budget decisions were made during the 2016 calendar year, before Trump became president. (Moreover, the money does not “pour into NATO” but remains with each nation.)
Ten times, Trump has said he has proposed “the biggest tax cut in the history of our country,” even though his administration has released no plan beyond a single sheet of paper. Even if it became a reality (there are reports that the tax plan is being scaled back), it still would be smaller than tax cuts passed by Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan. Eight times, he has claimed to have already achieved “record investments” in the military even though his proposed defense increase is relatively modest — and not yet been approved by Congress.
Trump’s repeated claim that he secured deals worth $350 billion during a trip to Saudi Arabia, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States, was greatly inflated. Many of the purported deals were not concluded and were simply aspirational — and key investments were in Saudi Arabia, creating few jobs for Americans.
More than a dozen times, the president dismissed investigations into Russian interference into the election as a Democratic hoax, even though nonpartisan intelligence agencies concluded that Russia intervened on behalf of Trump and congressional committees led by Republicans have begun their own probes.
When the president was a real estate developer, there was little consequence for repeated exaggeration or hyperbole because few people kept track. But now that he’s president, Trump may find that the “art of the deal” often requires close attention to the facts, especially if he wants to persuade lawmakers to take tough votes.
As president, Trump has already earned 20 Four-Pinocchio ratings — and a total of 152 Pinocchios. If he doesn’t like his Pinocchios, there’s a relatively simple solution: Stick to the facts.

Today is the six-month mark of Donald Trump’s presidency, and I think it’s still correct to say that his presidency is off to the least successful start in modern times.
That’s not a judgment based on his policies (although regular readers surely know I’m no fan of their content). It’s instead an attempt to judge him on his own terms, as I tried to do at the 100-day mark: How effective has he been in accomplishing what he promised to accomplish?
Advertisement Continue reading the main story
I’m somewhat surprised that the answer today feels so similar to the answer at the 100-day mark, because there were times in the last few months when he seemed on the verge of becoming more successful, at least on his own terms. After the House passed its health care bill, it was possible to imagine a series of major bills that would sweep away regulations, reduce benefits for the poor and middle class and cut taxes for the rich. |||||
A summary of this is? | – President Trump hit the six-month mark in office Thursday. So, how's he doing? That depends. The Washington Post looks at Trump's progress on seven key campaign issues. The status of his goals to have better relations with Russia and reform health care have been well-covered elsewhere. The wall is still not built, though Trump has continued to specify what it will look like (solar panels, see-through parts to protect from flying bags of drugs, etc.). Portions of his travel ban have been halted by the courts, and he went back on his promise to label China a currency manipulator. And whether or not you're "tired of winning" yet is "in the eye of the beholder." Here's what else you need to know about the Trump presidency at six months: Despite everything else, the economy is actually doing well under Trump, MarketWatch reports. The US has added 863,000 jobs since February, and the S&P 500 is up 10.4% since January. However, wage growth hasn't matched those gains. ABC News looks at Trump's 182 days in office by the numbers, including signing 42 pieces of legislation, a historically low 36% approval rating, 37 days spent on a golf course he owns, one solo news conference, and 1,279 days left in his first term. The Washington Post has some other numbers: Trump has made 836 false or misleading claims during his first six months for an average of 4.6 per day. Michael Goodwin at the New York Post says we can't judge Trump's presidency too harshly because he's been targeted relentlessly by the media, Democrats, and "much of the permanent government" and has yet to start "World War III with a tweet." Goodwin thinks he'll turn it around: "I believe Trump's ego will not let him accept being a failed president." On the other hand, David Leonhardt at the New York Times says Trump's presidency "is off to the least successful start in modern times" by the president's own stated terms. Despite using his executive power to change policies on immigration and climate change, Trump hasn't passed a single major piece of legislation, is historically unpopular, and is embroiled in the Russian scandal. In a press release, the White House touts six months of job creation, accountability, cutting regulations, and "putting America first." Finally, Joe Garofoli at the San Francisco Chronicle has some advice on how Trump can "reboot" his presidency. Among them: Hold rallies in swing states or blue states, stay off the golf course, let Melania Trump screen your tweets, and learn the actual details of the policies you want passed. | 4 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

US set for year of fear
The romanticised view of US presidential elections is that they present quadrennial opportunities for national renewal; that they are expressions of hope and optimism that reflect this country's founding belief in its inexorable advancement and improvement.
Peered at through rose-coloured spectacles, they become the democratic flowering of American exceptionalism.
Some post-war examples might include John F Kennedy's victory in 1960, which was interpreted as bringing the somnolence of the Eisenhower years to an end and unbridling the frenetic energy of the Sixties.
At the 1980 election, Ronald Reagan is credited with bringing closure to America's long national nightmare of Vietnam and Watergate.
In 2008, Barack Obama seemed to personify how America could renew itself after the destruction of the Twin Towers and the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
On closer examination, however, those elections don't just look like expressions of hope but also outpourings of fear.
Jack Kennedy exploited Cold War anxieties that America was falling behind the Soviet Union, even inventing a "missile gap" that gave Moscow the supposed nuclear edge.
Ronald Reagan kicked off his election campaign by championing "states' rights" in Philadelphia, Mississippi - the site of the "Mississippi Burning" murders in the 1960s - using language that articulated southern white fears about the encroachment of the federal government and advancement of African-Americans in a setting loaded with shadowy symbolism.
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, Barack Obama profited from anxieties that the American economy was in meltdown.
All three benefited from what the political theorist Richard Hofstadter memorably described in the mid-1960s as "the paranoid style in American politics".
"American politics has often been an arena for angry minds," wrote Hofstadter, a line penned in 1964 that resonates just as strongly today. Now, as then, American elections commonly witness the triumph of fear over hope.
As we enter election year, there is a deep pool of nervousness and resentment from which to draw.
On the economic front, there is the shrinkage of the American middle class. New figures from Pew Research suggest that for the first time in more than four decades, the middle class is no longer in the majority.
People becoming wealthy enough to be defined as "better off" explain some of this shrinkage. But 20% of Americans are now in the lowest income tier, compared with 16% in the early 1970s.
The median wealth of middle-class households has also seen a dramatic fall over the course of this century, decreasing by 28% from 2001 to 2013. Pew found also that median incomes in all wealth brackets were lower in 2014 than in 2000. The "American dream" is not such an animating force.
What's often called the Uberisation of the economy - the move towards freelancing and flexible working arrangements - is eroding the traditional compact between employer and employee.
Fears about economic security overlap with fears about national security.
In the aftermath of the San Bernardino and Paris attacks, Americans are more fearful about the prospect of terrorist attacks than at any time since 9/11, according to a poll conducted by the New York Times and CBS News.
Some 44% of the public thought an attack was "very" likely in the next few months. A poll this month from Gallup suggested that Americans regard terrorism as the country's number one problem.
Confidence in American institutions has also been on the wane, as seen in another Gallup poll. Here are the results for how many people said they had a "great deal of confidence" in the following:
These are not good days for the American establishment, whose pillars look increasingly wobbly.
Beyond these statistics lies further evidence of national anxiety.
The spate of mass shootings - almost one a day in 2015 - has not just spread fears about public safety, but seemingly heightened concerns among gun owners that the federal government will some day restrict the availability of firearms (not that gun control is going anywhere in Congress).
That offers one explanation for the spike in gun sales on Black Friday in November, when the FBI ran a record-breaking 185,345 background checks, about two per second.
12,223 people killed in gun incidents
24,722 people injured in gun incidents

The Black Lives Matter campaign continues to highlight the brutal excesses of certain police officers. In recent months, a number of leading American university campuses, including Yale, have been restless. Even American football, the national winter sport, seems to be in a perpetual state of scandal.
Add to that the unchecked rise of China, the difficulty in combating the group calling itself Islamic State, the inability to humble Vladimir Putin, the failure to defeat the Taliban and a nagging sense of the waning of American international influence and that pool of resentment increasingly resembles a toxic swamp.
The state of the union is perturbed and anxious. America is beset by a climate of uncertainty and fear in which populist campaigns, like those mounted by Donald Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left, can flourish.
Worryingly for Hillary Clinton, periods of national anxiety also have a tendency of producing party change in the White House. One thinks of Jack Kennedy in 1960, Richard Nixon in 1968, Jimmy Carter in 1976, Ronald Reagan in 1980 and Bill Clinton in 1992.
Back then, Bill Clinton cast himself as the candidate who still believed "in a place called Hope", his birthplace, but his success stemmed from enunciating the economic apprehensions of "the forgotten middle class".
For all the demographic and electoral map advantages that the Democrats have come to enjoy in presidential politics, Hillary Clinton will also need to give voice to middle class anxieties about stagnant incomes, wealth inequality and dwindling opportunity. It explains the tweet that launched her campaign back in April: "Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion."
Whoever ends up on top, the campaign will provide yet more evidence of the paranoid style in American politics. It will not be marked by a sense of national renewal or sunniness.
Rather, 2016 looks set to be a year of fear.

Image copyright EPA Image caption The pictures released by the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) shows Mr Kim walking unaided
North Korean media have published photos of leader Kim Jong-un walking without a stick at an army meeting, following speculation about his health.
Mr Kim was not seen in public for nearly six weeks before appearing at an event using a walking stick last month.
South Korean intelligence said he had surgery to remove an ankle cyst.
Mr Kim's health has been the subject of much rumour in recent years, with some saying he may be suffering from gout or hip problems.
The latest pictures, which came out in newspaper Rodong Sinmun on Wednesday, show Mr Kim meeting military commanders.
North Korea agency KCNA said Mr Kim had attended the army meeting on Monday and Tuesday and posed with participants for photographs.
He was accompanied by right-hand man Hwang Pyong-so and other top leaders.
Mr Kim missed a key political event in October - the anniversary of his ruling party. But South Korea said it believed he remained in control.
South Korean intelligence later said that Mr Kim had developed a cyst on his left ankle in May, pinching a nerve and causing the ankle to swell.
A team of European medical experts were said to have flown to Pyongyang in September or October to operate on Mr Kim's left ankle and remove the growth. ||||| This is a set of web collections curated by Mark Graham using the Archive-IT service of the Internet Archive.

This undated picture released by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency on May 28, 2013 shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, right, inspecting the August 25 Fishery Station under the Korean People's Army Unit 313. Close
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made his first appearance without a cane since emerging from a six-week seclusion that prompted speculation about his health and grip on power.
Kim clapped his hands and walked alongside hundreds of troops applauding him in photos released today by the Rodong Sinmun newspaper, run by the ruling Workers’ Party. He attended a meeting of battalion commanders and political instructors yesterday in Pyongyang, the paper said.
“The photo dispels the lingering sense of uncertainty that was associated with the cane,” Yoo Ho Yeol, a professor of North Korea studies at Korea University based at Sejong in South Korea, said by phone. “He’s trying to show he can walk without a problem.”
Kim, who returned to the public gaze with the cane in mid-October, exercises dynastic control of the North’s 1.2 million troops and nuclear arms program. He recently ordered the shooting of about 10 senior party officials on charges including graft and watching South Korean soap operas, South Korean lawmaker Shin Kyoung Min said Oct. 29, citing a briefing by the National Intelligence Service in Seoul.
Kim, believed to be around 30, had a cyst removed from his right ankle in September or October, according to Lim Dae Sung, a secretary to South Korean lawmaker Lee Cheol Woo, who also attended the intelligence briefing.
The leader took power in late 2011 after his father Kim Jong Il died. North Korea has since conducted its third nuclear test and launched a long-range rocket that put a satellite in orbit. The U.S. and South Korea say the launch was a test of ballistic missile technology banned under United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Summary: | – What with his nation's recent naval triumphs and Ebola crackdown, Kim Jong Un is a busy guy. So North Korea watchers can rest easier knowing that Kim is apparently back on his own two feet. As Bloomberg reports via state media (pictures here), the strongman appeared in public this week, and this time it was without the much-discussed cane he was leaning on when he emerged last month from an unexplained six-week absence. "The photo dispels the lingering sense of uncertainty that was associated with the cane," says an expert. "He's trying to show he can walk without a problem." Kim was apparently meeting with military commanders Monday and yesterday, notes the BBC. | 1 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

A 40m (130ft) newly-built section of the bridge, as well as scaffolding around it, fell 20m onto workers, said police spokesman Bjorn Schmitt.
It was not immediately clear what caused the accident, which happened on Wednesday near the town of Werneck.
There are thought to have been around 20 workers on the site at the time.
Initial police reports at the scene of the collapse in northern Bavaria suggested at least two people had been killed.
Mr Schmitt said he was concerned that workers were buried under the wreckage of the scaffolding.
Authorities are trying to establish if any cars had been travelling along the country road which passed underneath it at the time.
Traffic on the A7 road, which still uses the old undamaged bridge that is being replaced, was not affected by the incident, Deutsche Welle reported, although temporary speed restrictions are being enforced around the accident zone.
Work on the new 236-metre (774ft) bridge started last year and was supposed to be completed by the end of 2017.
The bridge is more than 50 years old.

Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) is the manager of the New York's longest- established floating craps game, and he needs $1000 to secure a new location. Confident of his odds, he bets the city's highest-roller, Sky Masterson (Marlon Brando), that he can't woo uptight missionary Sarah Brown (Jean Simmons). 'Guys and Dolls (1955)' is such a great musical because it deftly blends the contrasting styles of film and stage. During a dazzling opening sequence, crowds of pedestrians move in rhythm, stopping and starting as though responding to backstage cues. Even the walking movements themselves are stylised and angular, halfway between a walk and a dance. Mankiewicz's New York City is a glittering flurry of art deco colour and movement, a fantasy world so completely removed from reality that even the business of underground gambling and criminal thuggery seems perfectly genial.
As I write this review, I've just received word that Jean Simmons has passed away, age 80. This, unbelievably, was the first time I'd seen her in a film, yet she dazzled me from the beginning. Her idealistic and sexually-repressed Sarah comes out of her shell following an alcohol binge in Havana, letting loose with an adorably playful rendition of "If I Were A Bell." Even though both Simmons and Brando were non-singers, producer Sam Goldwyn decided not to dub their vocals, contending that "maybe you don't sound so good, but at least it's you." Despite Goldwyn's backhanded confidence, the pair both do well to carry entire musical numbers themselves. Simmons suggests the same child-like liveliness that Audrey Hepburn might have brought to the role, and Brando exudes such self-assurance and charisma that it doesn't matter that his singing voice isn't quite there.
