In a memo to reporters writing about the "alt-right," John Daniszewski, vice president for Standards at the Associated Press, cautioned journalists to be specific and deliberate when writing about a label that many say is just a euphemism for white nationalism.

"Avoid using the term generically and without definition, however, because it is not well known and the term may exist primarily as a public-relations device to make its supporters’ actual beliefs less clear and more acceptable to a broader audience," Daniszewski wrote. "In the past we have called such beliefs racist, neo-Nazi or white supremacist."

Leftist scholar Noam Chomsky has a message for voters who refused to cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton to prevent Donald Trump from winning the White House: You made a "bad mistake." 

...
 

"He'll 'shake up the system' in bad ways," Chomsky said of the president-elect. "What it means is now the left—if Clinton had won, she had some progressive programs. The left could have been organized, to keeping her feet to the fire. What it will be doing now is trying to protect rights...gains that have been achieved, from being destroyed. That's completely regressive."
 

Indeed, Chomsky further warned in the aftermath of the election: "The outcome placed total control of the government—executive, Congress, the Supreme Court—in the hands of the Republican Party, which has become the most dangerous organization in world history."

nyc loft reno

at least it still retains the appearance of a loft. NYC is out of the question w/ $ pr sf but this is a nice model for elsewhere. Hate the new DWELL format, repeatedly clicking "No Thanks, continue" to reach a post is an unessessary extra step.

Last night, NSA Chief Adm. Michael S. Rogers told the Wall Street Journal that Republicans were “consciously" assisted by the Russian state’s email hackers looking for a ‘”specific effect” in this year’s general election. In October, the NSA co-signed a written statement naming Russia as the culprit in the email hacks, which was jointly released by America’s intelligence community except the FBI.

“There shouldn’t be any doubt in anybody’s minds, this was not something that was done casually, this was not something that was done by chance, this was not a target that was selected purely arbitrarily. This was a conscious effort by a nation-state to attempt to achieve a specific effect.”

Pulling from news reports, social media, and direct submissions at the Southern Poverty Law Center website, the SPLC had counted 201 incidents of election-related harassment and intimidation across the country as of Friday, November 11 at 5pm. These range from anti-Black to anti-woman to anti-LGBT incidents. There were many examples of vandalism and epithets directed at individuals. Often times, types of harassment overlapped and many incidents, though not all, involved direct references to the Trump campaign. Every incident could not be immediately independently verified.

The ICAO Manual of Aerodrome Standards: Aerodrome Design and Operations specifies:

 

6.2.3  An object shall be coloured to show a chequered pattern if it has essentially unbroken surfaces and its projection on any vertical plane equals or exceeds 4.5 m in both dimensions.  The pattern shall consist of rectangles of not less than 1.5 m and not more than 3 m on a side, the corners being of the darker colour.  The colours of the pattern shall contrast each with the other and with the background against which they will be seen.  Orange and white or alternatively red and white shall be used, except where such colours merge with the background.
