Chip vendors support optical communication migration
SFP+ offers a more compact form factor than X2 and XFP packages and runs on less than 1W. It also offers higher mounting densities than current 10Gbit/s devices. A more streamlined design has made SFP+ the same size as the SFP industry standard used for data rates up to 4Gbit/s.
The newer standard reduces cost by removing everything except the optics from the modules. Signal-conditioning functions are moved from the module to the host card, as are the Serdes, media access controller, clock and data recovery (CDR) and electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) functions. The result is a simplified transceiver module with electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) functions.
Inside Avago's 10Gbit/s SFP+ transceiver are its own 850nm VCSELs.
Three SFP+ ranges have been standardised for 10Gbit/s nets: 10GBase-SR (30-300m with OM3-grade multimode fiber), 10GBase-LR (10km across single-mode fiber) and 10GBase-LRM (220m with FDDI-grade multimode fiber).
In January, Avago Technologies Ltd began offering production quantities of a 10Gbit/s Ethernet SFP+ short-reach optical transceiver. At the core of the AFBR-700SDZ are Avago's own 850nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), which leverage technology from its 4G VCSEL design. According to the company, that earlier design has undergone more than 200 crore device-hours of testing without failure. The AFBR-700SDZ uses multimode fiber and extends coverage to 300m.
The transceiver supports the SFF-8431 specification for enhanced 10Gbit/s SFP+, and SFF-8472 for the digital monitoring interface in optical transceivers. The RoHS 6-compliant, Pb-free device delivers real-time temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current and laser average output power, and it receives input power information through a two-wire interface. The digital diagnostic interface allows disabling of the transmitter to check for faults, and for the monitoring of potential loss of signal in the receiver.
Last year, Applied Micro Circuits Corp. claimed to be the first vendor to ship a fully integrated dual-port SFP+ transceiver. The QT1215 is a 9.95-10.6Gbit/s CDR circuit with fully adaptive EDC capability. It not only provides an interface between a 10Gbit/s Serdes and an SFP+ optical module but also converts a single differential input XFI data stream into a serial 9.95-10.5Gbit/s output data stream, in compliance with the SFP+ standard.
In the SFP+ side receive direction, the QT1215 contains a sophisticated EDC engine that complies with both the SFP+ and LRM standards. The EDC permits the recovery of signals degraded by differential mode delay, chromatic dispersion and PMD. Using internal algorithms, the chip continuously adapts to channel characteristics. The EDC engine in the QT1215 uses a low-power mixed-signal architecture that instantly adapts to fiber impulse response changes. The transceiver was designed to exceed the performance specified in 10GBase-LRM, thereby providing a robust product for multimode fiber applications, said the company. The QT1215 includes a standard two-wire interface for communicating with external EEPROM for the embedded microprocessor. A separate two-wire interface provides control and status capability for the IC. The integrated embedded controller provides EDC adaptation control and can be programmed for various value-added capabilities.
A typical network application for AMCC's QT1215 is shown: a fully integrated, two-port, 9.95-10.6Gbit/s CDR circuit with fully adaptive EDC capability.
Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd has launched a line of SFP+ transceivers for 10Gbit/s applications that is available in production quantities. The SPP series is designed to meet IEEE 802.3ae and 802.3aq specifications for 10G Ethernet. Sumitomo released three transceivers in the SPP5000 series. SPP5101SR, for 10GBase-SR, uses an 850nm VCSEL for operation over multimode fiber at distances up to 300m. SPP5101LM is for 10GBase-LRM, using a 1,310nm Fabry-Perot laser for operation over multimode fiber at up to 220m. SPP5101LR is for 10GBase-LR and uses a 1,310nm DFB laser for operation over single-mode fiber (SMF) at up to 10km.
In December, Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. released the VSC8242, a CDR chip with EDC. Although the device was initially aimed at X2, the dominant optical module for 10Gbit Ethernet shipments today, its lead application is enabling the migration of datacom and telecom routers and switches to the SFP+ optical module form factor. The VSC8242 supports all three SFP+ range applications and complies with 802.3aq, 802.3ae and SFF-8431 electrical specifications. That functionality allows existing module designs to move quickly and cost-effectively to the SFP+ form factor.
The VSC8242 incorporates two bidirectional 10Gbit/s paths to support the increased port densities. Additional features include various lookbacks, a complete set of programmable Rx and Tx path functionality (such as output preemphasis) and full GbE data rate support.
Finisar Corp. has introduced 8Gbit/s long-wavelength SFP+ transceivers for advanced storage networking applications. The 1,310nm transceivers support 1.4km and 10km transmission over SMF and are well-suited for fiber connectivity and disaster-recovery storage applications.

Discussions of the object as a key to understanding central aspects of modern and contemporary art.
Artists increasingly refer to “post-object-based” work while theorists engage with material artifacts in culture. A focus on “object-based” learning treats objects as vectors for dialogue across disciplines. Virtual imaging enables the object to be abstracted or circumvented, while immaterial forms of labor challenge materialist theories. This anthology surveys such reappraisals of what constitutes the “objectness” of production, with art as its focus.
Among the topics it examines are the relation of the object to subjectivity; distinctions between objects and things; the significance of the object's transition from inert mass to tool or artifact; and the meanings of the everyday in the found object, repetition in the replicated or multiple object, loss in the absent object, and abjection in the formless or degraded object. It also explores artistic positions that are anti-object; theories of the experimental, liminal or mental object; and the role of objects in performance. The object becomes a prism through which to reread contemporary art and better understand its recent past.
Artists surveyed include
Georges Adéagbo, Art in Ruins, Iain Baxter, Louise Bourgeois, Pavel Büchler, Lygia Clark, Claude Closky, Brian Collier, Jimmie Durham, Fischli & Weiss, Luca Frei, Meschac Gaba, Isa Genzken, Gruppe Geflecht, Eva Hesse, Mike Kelley, John Latham, Antje Majewski, Gustav Metzger, Cady Noland, Gabriel Orozco, Adrian Piper, Falke Pisano, Eva Rothschild, Aura Satz, Kenneth Snelson, Hito Steyerl, Josef Strau, Alina Szapocznikow, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, Erwin Wurm

It’s a breezy mid-morning in Nu‘uanu Valley, with the pre-dawn dew still clinging to the grass and the sun just working its way through the cloud cover above the Ko‘olau mountains. Artist and twenty-year Honolulu resident Steve Rosenthal is barefoot on his backyard patio, surveying this idyllic scene as he describes the particular challenge of tuning a concert grand piano over the roar of a lawn mower. As if on cue, a neighbor’s gas-powered weed whacker fires up, the insistent whine threatening to drown out our conversation. Rosenthal smiles, then shrugs.
“You just have to integrate it.”
Soft-spoken and prone to this sort of Zen-tinged understatement, Rosenthal himself is a study in artistic integration. He is a piano-tuner by trade; a sculptor and woodworker whose art has been exhibited from Honolulu’s Contemporary Museum to the United States Embassy in Bangladesh; and an avant-garde composer and musician who often performs on instruments of his own construction, which are themselves works of museum-quality art. Somehow it all fits together, but … how?
“We use the same words to describe music and art,” he offers, scratching absently at his salt-and-pepper beard. “Tone, texture, contrast and composition: They’re equally important to both.”
Fleeing the noise of yardwork, we trade porch for living room, which is filled with all manner of musical instruments: conga drums, Chinese gongs, marching band cymbals, maracas, flutes, lutes and guitars. As he explains the origins of the various devices, Rosenthal leans over an odd contraption he fashioned out of found items—a wood file, a small length of construction rebar and other random metal objects. He gently strikes the instrument, producing pitch-perfect, other-worldly tones.
As the son of a concert pianist growing up in San Diego, California, it was natural for Rosenthal to gravitate to music. Classically trained in composition and performance— primarily with double reed and wind instruments—he began his formal musical education when he was nine, and went on to study at San Diego State University and the Kansas City Conservatory of Music, where he focused on the oboe.

What’s blockchain? Nice query.
Because the framework for breakthrough cryptocurrency Bitcoin, blockchain first significantly moved into the general public lexicon in the course of the crypto market’s This fall 2017 mania. The buying and selling worth of Bitcoin reached almost U.S. $20,000 in December of that 12 months. Traders hailed Bitcoin as the perfect funding of all time. Not even the world’s highest-priced inventory, Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares, gave buyers a greater ROI from IPO to an all-time excessive.
Nevertheless, this explains the results of a blockchain utility — it’s simply one thing blockchain can do. So what precisely is blockchain? We’ll reply that query under.
Blockchain: Merely Put
A blockchain is a gaggle of related blocks.
A block is a diary.
In a diary, later ideas depend upon the ideas earlier than it to make sense. Every phrase in every sentence depends upon the phrase earlier than it to deliver context.
“I argued with my pal. I hate my pal.” That is smart.
“I hate my pal.” That’s nonetheless a grammatically appropriate sentence, nevertheless it makes much less sense as a result of we don’t know why.
“…my pal.” This makes no logical sense.
Consider the block because the diary that is smart. Later entries within the block are inseparable from the previous entries within the block. Like a diary, the block tells a narrative.
The block is only a story of transactions as a substitute of ideas. Every new entry (hash) refers back to the hashes earlier than it. This creates a novel chain of occasions that can not be faked or duplicated.
How Does Blockchain Work?
Hashes in a block translate actions into an extended code string. So “I argued with my pal. I hate my pal” turns into fj9e8aTpA(TV*AR3o0RNB*Aoj.
In case your subsequent entry the next day is “I made up with my pal,” the hash code shouldn’t be solely contingent on you writing “I made up with my pal,” but in addition the knowledge “I argued with my pal. I hate my pal” as nicely. Let’s say that hash seems to be vn”(vr&BENTsM]TVES*M(VT/e9b.
In case you attempt to change a earlier entry so the chain reads “I argued along with her pal. I hate my pal,” the primary hash should change fully. As a substitute of fj9e8aTpA(TV*AR3o0RNB*Aoj, this generates u3289y@((@VN29b28dn.
While you add the “I made up with my pal” entry, u3289y@((@VN29b28dn generates a very new second hash 94V@)%2(V@#B8wvN. Now contemplate a ledger of 10,000 entries. That is tough for people to pretend. Extra importantly, it’s almost inconceivable for computer systems to maintain up with. This protects the legitimacy of a block.
Now think about that you simply copied your diary and gave it to five,000 folks. All of those folks know that your diary reads “I argued with my pal. I hate my pal. I made up with my pal.”
In case you change your block to learn “I argued along with her pal,” 5,000 folks have the unique copy. They are going to know you modified one thing. On the planet of blocks, these 5,000 persons are 5,000 computer systems, all checking hashes for any modifications. If any of those 5,000 computer systems discover a change, they report it to all the opposite computer systems.
That is the construction that provides the block its energy.
In case your diary is a block, then all of the diaries at your faculty — that’s the blockchain.
What’s Blockchain Used for?
Fraud-proof record-keeping has implications for the whole lot. Even in its relative infancy, blockchain technology is utilized in forex switch, distributed cloud storage, id authentication, autonomous networking and good contracts, amongst many different capabilities.
A few of the world’s largest firms are utilizing blockchain tech. Listed below are just some of essentially the most distinguished:
- IBM: At the moment the most important firm that’s totally embracing blockchain, with greater than 220 functions developed on blockchain and counting, together with the IBM Meals Belief initiative with Walmart.
- Robinhood: An immensely common trading platform that permits customers to commerce cryptocurrency in addition to extra conventional investments like shares and ETFs.
- Alibaba: Has over 90 blockchain patents and is creating blockchain options for healthcare.
- Fujitsu: Lately funded the Blockchain Innovation Heart positioned in Brussels and is creating a Proof of Enterprise fast-track consulting service.
- Mastercard: Creating extra environment friendly operations to scale back transaction prices and enhance fraud safety for customers.
Different notable firms both utilizing blockchain or researching the know-how embody Amazon, Fb, ING Group, Cisco and Tesla.
What’s a Blockchain Instance?
Bitcoin is only a single operate that’s constructed on high of blockchain know-how. Take the instance of De Beers, the well-known diamond firm. The method of mining, transporting, cleansing, testing, producing and promoting a diamond product is one which stretches over continents and numerous folks. Think about the alternatives for fraud.
Now think about how far more worthwhile that firm is perhaps if it may hold good information of its diamonds from the mine to the showroom. The executives within the firm will need to have thought the identical factor, as they’re planning the implementation of a blockchain ledger to hint cargo from begin to end throughout the whole diamond trade.
The platform they carried out is known as Tracr. Tracr can ideally observe the origin of a diamond, confirm its authenticity at any level within the provide chain and hint that offer chain again to the mine a diamond got here from. Different trade stalwarts have signed onto the pilot, together with Diarough, Diacore, Signet Jewelers, Venus Jewel, Rosy Blue, Alrosa and Chow Tai Fook.
It stays to be seen whether or not De Beers will go these financial savings alongside to its clients as soon as it perfects Tracr.
Can Blockchain be Hacked?
Though producing a brand new hash for every transaction on a blockchain would take a ridiculous period of time to perform, a blockchain can technically be hacked. In accordance with analysis from Cornell College and MIT, there are methods to cheat the blockchain even when it can’t be instantly attacked.
For instance, Emin Gun Sirer of Cornell, et al. discovered that he may distract different nodes (pc editors) in a blockchain with ineffective issues. Strategies like this have allowed hackers to interrupt into what must be nameless and safe digital wallets and steal cryptocurrency. Coincheck, a crypto trade primarily based out of Japan, was robbed of $500 million, and that’s not the one instance of blockchain theft.
Sincere actors can battle this type of fraud by means of a tough fork. Laborious forks mainly roll again time to create a earlier model of blockchain historical past the place the fraud was by no means executed. It is a controversial method, however many currencies have really carried out scheduled onerous forks due to variations of opinion in a technical matter.
There may be additionally the matter of pure consolidation. In a vacuum, a blockchain system is meant to operate as a decentralized community. The 5,000 diaries you handed out to five,000 computer systems (nodes) every have equal rights so as to add a hash to the blockchain or name out fraud. In the actual world, some nodes will acquire extra diaries than others. Research inform us that 1,000 Bitcoin wallets maintain over 40% of the market. If these nodes have been efficiently attacked, it may deliver havoc to the whole market.
Briefly, there’ll all the time be a weak point in human-created tasks. Blockchain could also be far more tough to hack than conventional safety measures, however not inconceivable.
A New Frontier
The story of blockchain is simply starting. The World Financial Discussion board predicts that blockchain will retailer greater than 10% of the world’s GDP inside 10 years. With implementation rising throughout many industries, it’s solely a matter of time earlier than blockchain impacts your life not directly or instantly.

Local ales, good food, cosy fires and friendly staff... Wellies, walking boots and dogs welcome.I'd certainly agree with all of the above. The menu is a mixture of classics (burger, lasagne, fish & chips etc.) and some more interesting dishes (bubble and squeak burger). They also have daily specials, that always includes a pie and a steak of some sort. That first night, tempted as I always am by a good burger, I had game pie. It was delicious and bode very well for the other menu items. My starter - bubble and squeak topped with an egg and mushroom sauce - was also good.
A couple of weeks ago, we went back, this time for Saturday lunch. Tempted as I was again by the burger, I was in a bit of a fish mood and went for the beer-battered fish and chips. It was every bit as good as my memory of the pie and the chips were fantastic - crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle; they must be at least twice-cooked. The mushy peas were a little disappointing, being mushed actual peas, rather than the usual processed kind. They were still nice, just not what I expected (or fancied).
Two successes out of two meant that it was natural choice for an (early) Mother's Day/Birthday/St Patrick's Day lunch with the folks. Today, I succumbed and went for the burger. (Although the Beef & Guinness pie was a close second choice.) Although not quite up to the standard of the Dandy Lion in Bradford-on-Avon, the burger was really good; juicy and meaty and full of flavour. Mmmmm. The chips were fantastic again and definitely get my seal of approval. The allure of the starters was too strong and my wife and I (unnecessarily) shared some smoked mackerel with celeriac remoulade. Good as it was, next time I think I'll save room for a chocolate brownie! (Although the potato skins my parents shared for a starter also looked tempting.)
Stuffed to the gills, we skipped dessert and went for a bit of a stroll after lunch before heading back home for the England-Ireland rugby match. A future pub walk beckons, I think.

Deciding to undergo eyelid surgery is a significant step, one that can improve both your vision and your daily life. If you’re dealing with the challenges of drooping eyelids, or you’ve found yourself repeatedly Googling “how to get rid of puffy eyelids,” a consultation could be your next step towards a more comfortable, clearer life.
Understanding Eyelid Issues: Ptosis and Dermatochalasis
Eyelid problems are more than a superficial issue. Ptosis and dermatochalasis are 2 common conditions:
- Ptosis refers to the drooping of the upper eyelid, affecting your visual symmetry and even potentially limiting your peripheral vision. You might notice it more when reading or watching TV, constantly battling that “heavy eyelid” sensation.
- Dermatochalasis involves sagging skin around the eyelids, which adds weight and can obstruct your line of sight. You may often find yourself lifting your eyelids manually just to see better. These conditions frequently lead patients to ask, “Why do my eyelids feel heavy?”
Signs You May Need Eyelid Surgery
If you’re experiencing a loss of peripheral vision, constant eyelid irritation, or find yourself straining your forehead muscles to lift your sagging eyelids, you may be a candidate for eyelid surgery. These are often signs that drooping eyelids are affecting your quality of life.
Cases can range from mild to severe. A mild case might involve slight visual field obstruction, while severe cases could seriously affect your ability to perform everyday tasks. To quantify the level of vision impairment you’re experiencing, tests are conducted to help determine how your eyelids affect your eyesight. The results can be valuable when presenting your case for insurance coverage.
What Tests to Expect for Vision Impairment
The diagnostic process may include visual field tests, slit-lamp examination, and taking photographs for assessment and documentation.
- Visual Field Tests: This test evaluates your peripheral vision and can take up to half an hour. It’s non-intrusive and painless and involves accurately identifying a series of lights that flash on a screen in your field of vision.
- Slit-Lamp Examination: This high-magnification inspection of your eyes takes about 15 minutes and helps rule out other underlying issues affecting your sight.
- Eyelid Photography: Captures your condition for surgical planning and insurance documentation.
These tests also provide essential data when presenting your case for insurance coverage.
Cosmetic vs. Medical Need
Eyelid surgery can be a game-changer, but it’s important to distinguish between cosmetic desire and medical necessity.
Cosmetic surgery aims to enhance your appearance but may not be covered by insurance. Medical blepharoplasty, however, addresses functional issues such as sagging skin that obstructs vision and may be covered by insurance with the proper documentation.
Upper Blepharoplasty: More Than Just a Lift
Upper blepharoplasty targets the excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid region. The surgery takes approximately 1 to 2 hours and involves removing the troublesome tissue.
While various procedures target different eyelid issues, upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid. It can be an excellent solution for sagging eyelids and significantly improve vision, especially in peripheral areas.
Blepharoplasty: Before & After
Wondering what results you can expect? These are before-and-after photos of blepharoplasty patients.
Who is Not a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery
Although eyelid surgery can offer transformative results, it’s not for everyone. You may not be an ideal candidate if you have certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure or eye diseases, or if you’re prone to poor wound healing. Having realistic expectations is important. While surgery can improve your vision and appearance, perfection is not guaranteed.
How to Get Insurance to Pay for Eyelid Surgery
Navigating insurance coverage for eyelid surgery can be challenging but is often possible. Most insurers consider the surgery medically necessary if it impacts your quality of life due to vision loss.
To make your case, you’ll need comprehensive documentation, including photographs, results of your visual field tests, and a physician’s report outlining why surgical intervention is necessary. Don’t overlook this step; it’s essential to consult with your provider to understand what’s needed to get coverage for your sagging eyelids treatment.
Preparing for Upper Eyelid Surgery
Preparation for any surgical procedure is crucial. Patients should:
- Undergo a thorough medical evaluation: This may include blood tests and other diagnostics.
- Discontinue certain medications: Some medications may increase surgical risks and should be stopped after consulting your physician.
Proper post-operative care can be as important as the procedure itself in obtaining optimal results:
- Initial Recovery: Expect some swelling and bruising that will gradually subside.
- Follow-up Visits: Regular check-ins will ensure a smooth recovery process.
- Returning to Normalcy: Most patients return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days.
Schedule a Consultation
If you’re dealing with the challenges of sagging eyelids, a consultation could be your next step towards a more comfortable, clearer life.

A final ballot count at a Lehigh County judges’ race in 2021 appeared to result in a narrow victory for Democratic nominee Zac Cohen over Republican David Ritter on Thursday.
In last month’s Democratic primary for Pennsylvania’s 14th Senate district, candidate Tara Zrinski gave way this week to opponent Nick Miller.
Last November, the US Supreme Court issued an unsigned order allowing Lehigh County election officials to count 257 mail-in ballots that had no handwritten date but were received in a timely manner.
Based on that ruling, Thursday’s census gives Cohen a 10-year term as judge of the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas with a count of 32,669 votes to 32,664 for Knight, according to Tim Benyo, the county’s director of voter registration and elections. Both candidates are lawyers.
Ritter said in a statement to lehighvalleylive.com: “We are disappointed with the results of today’s vote with an undated statement. In the next few days, my legal team and I will be discussing our options regarding an appeal to the United States Supreme Court.”
Cohen was not immediately available for comment.
Without those ballots, Ritter would take the third and final judge seat in the 2021 election by a 74-vote margin over Cohen. Tom Caffrey and Tom Capehart secured the other two seats after the still unofficial results of the election.
Pennsylvania electoral law requires voters to write a date on the envelope in which they mail in their ballots. However, the handwritten date is not used to determine whether the ballot was cast in a timely manner, as the envelope is postmarked by the post office and timestamped by counties upon receipt.
In each case, counties have acknowledged accepting ballots with incorrect dates.
The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia had ruled that the requirement of a date next to the voter’s signature on the outside of the return envelope was “irrelevant” in state election law and not a reason to discard such ballots.
Judge Samuel Alito, in a dissent against last week’s order, warned that the matter could affect November’s election. Alito, along with Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, wrote that he believed the 3rd Circuit was “very likely wrong.”
In Pennsylvania’s Senate race, settled this week after the May 17 primary, Zrinski conceded Miller the 14th district election based on an alleged settlement filed Wednesday by one of nine voters from Lehigh and Northampton counties lawsuit was announced. The plaintiffs argued that ballots mailed in after Election Day and others mailed in without a “secret envelope” should be counted in the race, which was led by Miller over Zrinski with 42 votes.
The lawsuit, filed by Allentown’s attorney Matthew Mobilio, says 117 absentee ballots were uncounted because they were not sealed in the unnamed envelope and 143 ballots were uncounted because they were received after 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Mobilio announced the settlement with the electoral boards of Lehigh and Northampton counties, saying it envisages “major reforms to both counties’ voting eligibility processes and voter education efforts,” according to a press release.
Zrinski explained in the press release: “Ensuring that every vote is counted was my top priority. This agreement represents a move towards that goal while also allowing us to move towards the November elections. While I am deeply saddened that the votes in this race will not be counted, meaning I will not be the state senator for District 14, what improves mail-in voting and ensures better access to the ballot box in future elections is the most important thing to me.”
The 14th Ward extends across northwest Northampton County and slopes south into the Allentown area of Lehigh County. Zrinski is a Northampton County councilwoman. Miller is on the Allentown School Board. The Democratic primary winner will face Republican primary winner Dean Browning for a four-year term as state senator in the Nov. 8 election.
The settlement will allow final confirmation of the primary election results, Mobilio said in Wednesday’s publication: “Today we secured a major victory for Lehigh and Northampton County voters.
“Although the results of the May election will not be affected by this agreement, these new measures will help protect future elections from being called into question because of uncounted ballots and help voters understand what they are doing.” need to comply with the law. ‘ continued Mobilio. “This settlement does not solve all problems with Pennsylvania’s election laws. However, we believe this is a big step in the right direction, and hopefully the General Assembly will use the recent voter complaints as an impetus for major electoral reform in Harrisburg.”
Lehigh County officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Mobilio’s announced settlement. Northampton County officials announced Thursday that the results of the May 17 primary are official, barring the 14th Circuit Senate race pending a court ruling.
“I would like to thank the members of our Electoral Commission for their dedication to ensuring that the citizens of Northampton County receive fair, legal and accurate elections,” said Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure, confirming voting in all other races. “I would particularly like to thank the voters for their participation in our democracy.”
According to Mobilio, as part of the settlement, Lehigh County has agreed to:
- Notify any voters whose naked ballots are discovered before 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, or provide the names of those voters to party officials who are on site during the primary poll so party officials can notify voters;
- Consider purchasing a ballot sorter that has the ability to weigh returned ballots or measure their thickness so voters can be alerted to possible bare ballots;
- Consider notifying voters if, after receiving their ballot, they believe they may have cast a naked ballot;
- Consider changing the color of the non-disclosure envelope to something more conspicuous than white so that the non-disclosure envelope stands out to the voter and is easily distinguishable from other materials provided with their mail-in ballot;
- Include with all outbound ballot applications and ballot-by-mail applications (including permanent voter mailings) an insert emphasizing the importance of providing contact information; and
- Include messages on the Lehigh County Voter Registration website emphasizing the importance of providing contact information.
According to Mobilio, Northampton County has agreed to the following:
- Include messages to Northampton County voters emphasizing the importance of providing contact information, including a notice on the Northampton County Voter Registration website;
- During the preliminary briefing, which begins on or after 7 a.m. on Election Day, the district must disclose the names of any voters whose naked ballots are discovered before 8 p.m. on Election Day to party and/or candidate officials who are on site during the area code so party representative(s) can notify voters; and
- Consider changing the color of the non-disclosure envelope to something more conspicuous than white so that the non-disclosure envelope stands out to the voter and is easily distinguishable from other materials provided with their mail-in ballot.

I often think about how men are silenced these days on anything having to do with gender issues. I received an email from a male reader who is concerned about the same thing: he is told he is a “rape apologist” for even suggesting that men might be unfairly accused of rape. Here is his letter:
Hi Dr. Helen,
One of the things that’s caught my attention lately is a constant repetition by my lefty friends (I live in Boston, so I have many of them) of the term “rape culture.” My understanding of this term is that our culture (meaning, I suppose, western, judeo christian, etc) tolerates and tacitly encourages men to rape, and does not punish them sufficiently when they do.
Now, I understand the difficulty of getting a rape conviction. I do. There generally aren’t any witnesses, and what little physical evidence there may be could just as easily be the byproduct of consensual sex. This leaves the victim as the only witness, and her credibility is frequently the only thing in her favor.
On the other hand, we know that there are false rape allegations. I’ve asked my lefty friends how they’d change things to improve this situation. The answers I generally get boil down pretty much to “believe the accuser” and “past sexual behavior shouldn’t be admissable”. When I point out that this flies in the face of key legal concepts like the presumption of innocence, and the right of the accused to an affirmative defense, I get called a “rape apologist.”
Camille Paglia has pointed out that it used to be that there were “extralegal” ways of punishing rapists. Which is to say that a victim’s father and brothers would often go have a friendly chat with the rapist, who, after he got out of the hospital would either mend his ways or run afoul of a family who weren’t so friendly.
That tactic is difficult to pull of in cases where the identity of the rapist is unknown, where the victim is too embarrassed to tell the family or where the family is spread out, geographically. It’s also, I must admit, a bit barbaric.
That we’ve largely abandoned this does leave us in a spot where convictions are difficult to obtain, and that’s a difficult thing, even for those of us concerned about false accusations; we want the real perps to be punished no less than we want the innocent to go free.
However, I’m told that being concerned with such trivialities as being presumed innocent makes me a rape apologist and a part of rape culture.
Even worse is when some poor man dares to make suggestions about how women can go about reducing the likelihood of being raped. The only acceptable answer to this, it seems, is that men need to stop raping. If one were to point out that A) I have a right not to have my house burglarized, but that B ) I lock my door anyway… yup… rape apologist, rape culture.
I have looked around the edges of the “‘men’s movement”. While I see that there are men who are concerned about the same things I am, I also see things I don’t like (most notably the celebration of “pick up artists” as men who manage to eschew the bonds of relationships and marriage, but still manage to get laid.) However, when I’ve seen the subject broached among feminists, the term “hate groups” comes up almost immediately.
When I did interviews for my book Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters, one of the lawyers I interviewed said, “men’s rights only go as far as how honest she chooses to be.” In the case of the allegation of sexual abuse or rape, this is true. As the reader points out, no one wants to let a rapist go free, but just as important is that we do not allow the society to feel that it is okay to jail or punish a man who is falsely accused. Feminists and their supporters want our society to believe that women don’t lie about rape or abuse, but this takes away from the fact that women are human and some humans lie.
In an article at the Washington Times entitled “False reports outpace sex assaults in the military” even the Pentagon found that there was an increase in unfounded allegations:
False complaints of sexual abuse in the military are rising at a faster rate than overall reports of sexual assault, a trend that could harm combat readiness, analysts say.
Virtually all media attention on a Pentagon report last week focused on an increase in service members’ claims of sexual abuse in an anonymous survey, but unmentioned were statistics showing that a significant percentage of such actually investigated cases were baseless.
From 2009 to 2012, the number of sexual abuse reports rose from 3,244 to 3,374 — a 4 percent increase.
During the same period, the number of what the Pentagon calls “unfounded allegations” based on completed investigations of those reports rose from 331 to 444 — a 35 percent increase.
And though the number of allegations is increasing, nothing is being done:
Unsubstantiated accusations remain a significant problem, but the SAPRO is doing nothing about it,” Mrs. Donnelly said. “I went through both volumes and found no evidence of concern about the significant 17 percent of ‘unfounded accusations.’ Something should be done to reduce the numbers of false accusations, the first step being an admission that the problem exists.”
Just as nothing is being done in the military, nothing is being done much about false allegations against men in general except to occasionally say “Oops, too bad for you.” Apparently, an innocent man’s life and reputation is worth little, especially if women need to feel that something is being done. A man should be happy to sacrifice his life for the good of women and their supporter’s “rape culture” cause.
Don’t believe it. Stand up for men’s due process rights, free speech and yes, their reputations just as you would for a woman’s. We are all citizens in a supposedly (yeah, right…) free society where we are entitled to due process, the presumption of innocence and the ability to speak out when feminists and their Uncle Tim supporters accuse us of being “rape apologists” as the reader above described. These accusers are sexist pigs who think that one woman’s life is worth more than 100 falsely accused men who can rot in jail for all they care. And if they are innocent, that might just be better in their book. Because they are guilty of something by virtue of being male.
Now, my question to you, dear readers, is how do you deal with the silencing tools used by the left, the right, women, men and others who wish to silence the decent men in our society?

Longways Set Formation: Line-up in two long lines that run from head of the hall, to the foot. You should face your partner, who is standing in the line opposite yours. Traditionally, men compose the line to the caller's right. At the command "take hands four", the top 2 couples take hands in a small ring of four, couples 3 and 4 take hands, and so on down the line.
As the dance progresses, couples will come out at the ends. They will wait only once through the sequence, and another couple will then be there to dance with them.
FYI: I heartily recommend the Country Dance and Song Society as a worthwhile investment of your time, money and effort. The organization encompasses and supports all kinds of traditional dance and music. Membership supplies you with great newsletters, discounts on the bookstore's items, an annual members list and dance camp opportunities. Also available is information on where to contra dance in the U.S. and abroad. Contact CDSS for more information: http://www.cdss.org/ CDSS E Mail: email@example.com 413-268-7426
Washington Quickstep - Traditional Contra Dance Level: Very Easy
duple improper* Music: Palm Sunday (jig); Da Full Rigged Ship
(Shetland jig) Tempo: dotted quarter note = Metronome Marking 120
A1 Star Right
A2 Active couple down the middle
Turn alone, come back, cast off with inactives
B1 Right and Left Through (across set)
Right and Left back
B2 Long lines forward and back
Active couple Swing
(end facing down, towards next couple)
Washington Quickstep is an old favorite, and very easy for beginner callers and dancers. A gent should always put the lady he swung on his right side as they end a swing.
*Improper dance formation - Couples must trade places with their partners during that "down" time at the ends. If you travel down the line as an active, after you wait out once, you become inactive, and vice versa. If the dance is substantially different for active and inactive roles, you must point this out. Otherwise, you will have couples getting lost when they come into their new roles, because they forget to watch!
Jefferson Reel - Traditional Contra Dance Level: Easy
duple proper * Music: Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (an old-time reel);
Bonnie Isle O'Whalsay (reel from Shetland Isles)
Tempo: quarter note = MM 120
A1 Circle Left
A2 Star Right
B1 Actives down the outsides
B2 Down hall in lines of 4 (actives in middle)
Actives arch, ends pop through**
*Proper formation: Gents on the caller's right; ladies on the caller's left.
**The inactives leave ends of the line, meet partner, walk under the arched hands of the actives. Everyone is now facing their new neighbors. The whole line moves back to place in this position, actives walking backwards, inactives walking forward. Jefferson Reel can be danced proper or improper, so is good for single-gender or family dances.
FYI: If you have any questions concerning any of the enclosed dances, please contact me: firstname.lastname@example.org
Nueces (c) 1997 Barb Smith Level: Intermediate
duple improper Music: 100 Pipers (jig); The Kitchen Girl
(reel from New England)
Tempo: dotted quarter note = MM 120/half note = MM 120
A1 Neighbor Balance, Box the Gnat (right hand)*
A2 Star Left
Partner Balance, Swat the Flea (left hand)**
B1 Gypsy your partner+
Partner Swing (end facing neighbors, actives up, inactives down)
B2 Balance Ring of Four, Circle Left 1/2
Do-si-do Neighbor 11/2 to progress
* Box the Gnat - right hands, form arch, Lady moves under arch while Gent moves to the Lady's place.
** Swat the flea - same as Box the Gnat but holding left hands.
+ Gypsy - a more overt version of English "siding". With right shoulders facing, walk around your partner while keeping arms down by your side and gazing into your partner's eyes.
Note: When executing the do-si-do, keep arms down by your side.
I have begun writing dances named for Texas rivers. The Nueces ("new aces") empties into the Gulf of Mexico at Corpus Christi. You will need lots of room between couples in line for this one.
Permanent Wave (c) 1997 Barb Smith - Contra Dance
Level: Intermediate duple improper - Sicilian Circle formation*
Music: Riding on a Load of Hay (reel); Sweeney's (reel from Ireland)
Tempo: quarter note = MM 120
A1 Ocean Wave Balance**, Ladies travel forward to next wave (4 beats),
Balance this wave, Ladies Allemande Left halfway while Gents travel forward
A2 Ocean Wave Balance, Swing partner (12 beats, end facing across set)
B1 Circle Left 3/4 (to original position)
Dip and Dive (inactives arch first)+
B2 Dip and Dive (yes, again!)
Allemande Right your neighbor 11/4 (to form a wave with this couple)
*Sicilian circle - Is, in essence, a contra dance longways set that has been bent around so the ends meet. Have couples line up as spokes in a wheel, facing another couple, with all ladies standing to the right of their Gents. Since there are no ends, you stay in your active or inactive role throughout the dance.
**Ocean Wave Balance - To begin this dance, have ladies take left hands in the center to form a wave with the set of four. For teaching purposes, they must already be in that position to begin the count. Actives will still be facing clockwise, inactives counterclockwise. When dancing, it happens automatically at the end of B2.
+ Dip and Dive - 1 couple arches, opposite couple moves under the arch, they make an arch and bring it back over the 1st couple.
This dance was written for the band of the same name, because of my great fondness for them, gained after many wonderful gigs together.

Speaking about the production David said: ‘The reaction to Cinderella has been overwhelming and we've already added an extra date due to the demand for tickets. We have secured a first class cast for this production and I'm very proud to be part of it’.
A county-wide 'Search for Cinders' was mounted just over a month ago which resulted in over three hundred applications from actresses hoping to play Cinderella. Co-Producer and writer of the new show, Tim Newman, commented ‘Hannah Bailey who will be playing Cinderella offers us everything we were hoping for in this part and I know that every young girl in the audience will fall in love with her. I'm not sure what Hannah is more excited about, playing Cinders or having David Essex as her father in the show!’
Cinderella is being produced by Brighton Premiere, which is a collaboration of two Brighton based companies, E3 (who produce events such as The Grand Brighton Half Marathon and The Snowman Spectacular Ball on behalf of Chestnut Tree House) and The Brighton Academy of Performing Arts (in association with Stephen Mear, Matthew Bourne, Bill Deamer, Carole Todd, Mary Hammond and Killian Donnelly).
The creative team is also comprised of West End stars, and even has two cast members from 2015's Disney's live action version of Cinderella within its ranks! It will be directed by Stuart Dawes: We Will Rock You, Passion, Spamalot and Tim Newman: Memphis the musical, Mamma Mia, All the Fun of The Fair, with choreography from Emma Green: Wicked, Grease, Fame the musical and Kate Alexander: Hairspray, Starlight Express, Guys and Dolls. The live band will be under the musical direction of Alex Turney: Once, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Olivier Awards.
This spectacular new production, which features a huge LED video wall and one of the largest pantomime casts in the country is only half of the experience. Ticket holders to the 750-seated auditorium, will also enjoy free entrance to a magical Christmas Fayre including delicious food options, dodgems and a chance to meet Santa himself! Each performance will also be raising money for the three biggest children’s charities in Sussex, Chailey Heritage Foundation, Chestnut Tree House and Rockinghorse

A 19-year-old Stevensville man was sentenced to three years in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to theft and reckless endangerment in Carroll County Circuit Court.
Jeffrey James Taylor was one of three teen-agers charged in April with bursting into the Carrolltown Veterinary Hospital and forcing an employee to place 15 bottles of Ketamine in a bag. Court records said the youths used a toy Uzi gun to frighten employees.
Ketamine, a sleep-inducing drug commonly used as an anesthetic, can be converted from liquid to a powder form and snorted or smoked.
In exchange for Taylor's pleading guilty to the theft and reckless endangerment charges, prosecutors dropped charges of assault, assault with intent to rob, robbery with a deadly weapon and robbery.
Circuit Judge Luke K. Burns Jr., who strongly recommended that Taylor be admitted to the Toulson Boot Camp program -- sentenced the teen-ager to five years in prison with all but three suspended on the theft charges.
Taylor also was sentenced to 18 months on the reckless endangerment charge. The sentences are to run concurrently, the judge said.

Here are some packaging materials you should consider:Insulated box – There are many kinds of shipping boxes for your chocolates.
Bubble wrap – Used to stabilise the inside of your package.
Cold packs – Sealed in plastic bags, these cold packs help maintain the coolness of your goods and act as a portable refrigerator.More items…•.
What to add to chocolate to make it harden?
There is not much of a secret or trick to dipping something in chocolate and getting it to harden, actually. Simply melt semisweet chocolate by itself or with a little cream or butter. Dip, then refrigerate. When the chocolate is cooled, it hardens.
Should I add oil to melted chocolate?
Before you melt your chocolate, add a little vegetable oil. This will keep your chocolate from drying out. It can also fix slightly overheated chocolate! … So next time you decide to dip chocolate, melt carefully, stirring frequently, and add a touch of vegetable oil to your chocolate to ensure perfectly dipped treats!
Will chocolate melt at room temperature?
1 Answer. Chocolate should be stored in a cool, dry area whenever possible. … That said, even tempered chocolate (i.e. baking chocolate squares) will melt at hotter room temperatures, so if the air is humid or you’re in a hot climate, you’ll typically want to refrigerate.
How do you keep chocolate from melting?
Putting your chocolate in a cupboard or cabinet should suffice as a dark place for storage. Keep it below 70 degrees. Studies have shown that most chocolate melts between the temperatures of 75 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Storing your chocolate at a temperature below this will help to ensure that it does not melt.
How long does it take for chocolate to melt at room temperature?
3 to 5 minutesYou have to be at peace with the process, because it takes what it takes. Test: Dip a knife, spoon, or spatula into the chocolate and set it down at cool room temperature (65° to 70°F).

I'm looking forward to finding out who has won the inaugural Selfies Award. No, it's not an accolade for the most narcissistic snap on social media – it's a prize for the best work of fiction self-published in Britain in 2018.
The judges (a team of publishers, a literary agent, and Australian writer and editor Emily Laidlaw) have chosen an intriguing shortlist of eight titles, all by women. There are romances, crime thrillers, a couple of historical novels and a couple with a money-laundering theme. The authors include experienced writers who have won awards: one, Kathleen Jowitt, was the first self-published writer to have a book shortlisted for the Betty Trask Prize for first novels.
The Selfies are backed by BookBrunch, a daily news service for the book industry; IngramSpark, a publishing platform; and the London Book Fair. "The shortlist ... contains works that can confidently stand against the very best fiction being published in the UK today," says BookBrunch's Jo Henry. As well as looking for "a fantastic story", the judges sought works that excelled in design, production and marketing strategies and had great sales potential.
Self-publishing has come a long way from the kind of product famously described by Chuck Wendig as "a rising tide of turd-froth". True, some self-published books are still terrible, the tragic product of the self-deluded and badly prepared. But the very fact the Selfies exist means there must be a range of good professional British titles for the judges to choose from.
Self-published authors now have their own international "union", the Alliance of Independent Authors. Among the services it offers is a watchdog desk, which "identifies rogue services which overcharge, over-promise, under-deliver, or in any way exploit authors". Sadly, there are many of these jackals about.
Then there are the hybrid authors: those who already have books out with traditional publishers who go the self-published route if it suits them better, or if the usual avenues aren't available for a particular project. In Australia they include Kylie Scott, John Birmingham, Alison Croggon, cartoonist Judy Horacek and young-adult author Ellie Marney, who has written feisty and funny blogs about the process.
When Marney submitted her crime romance novel, No Limits, to her regular publisher, Allen & Unwin, it felt it couldn't market the book to young readers already captivated by her series because it featured drug use and violence. So Marney decided to publish it herself.
"People say 'there's no right or wrong way to publish a book', but I disagree," she writes in her blog. "There's a wrong way – write a crappy book, go through a vanity publisher who robs you and massages your ego, print up a few copies of your book at OfficeWorks or something and try to flog it at your local bookstore, have your legendary prose sprayed across the clouds in sky-writing ... Those are all bad ways to publish. The good way to publish is to be business-like about it: go through a traditional publisher, or a small supportive indie publisher, or self-publish in an organised and professional way."
No Limits' anti-hero, bad boy Harris Derwent, has keen BookReads fans, and the book was shortlisted for the 2018 Davitt Awards for crime fiction by women authors (disclosure: I was one of the judges).
The Selfies winner will be announced on March 12 at the London Book Fair. She will receive £1500 ($2790), plus a self-publishing package for her next book, including a book-cover design and a publicity campaign. And best of all, something that is hard for self-published authors to get: recognition for her work.

First lady: More to do to push healthier eating
WASHINGTON First lady Michelle Obama is praising the food industry for efforts to market healthier foods but says more must be done.
Speaking Friday at a childhood obesity summit, Mrs. Obama encouraged the industry to put better labels on food, limit marketing of unhealthy foods and do more to promote healthy foods.
She invoked her pre-White House years as a working mom who would run through the grocery store trying to make healthy decisions for her children.
Reducing childhood obesity is "a moral obligation to our children" and "a patriotic obligation to our country," she said.

Scientists at NYU School of Medicine have investigated into a new method known as transcranial electric stimulation (TES), which they believe offers a more efficient approach to affecting brain circuits, in comparison to current methods. Investigations are currently being done to see how TES could possibly aid in the treatment of neurologic and psychiatric conditions.
The idea for noninvasive TES was brought about after NYU Langone scientists suggested that the current protocols were not delivering an adequate amount of stimulation to affect neuronal activity within the human brain. Dr. Buzsáki and colleagues have shown this novel stimulation method to be more effective at affecting neuronal circuits, in addition to establishing a minimum current threshold needed to affect brain oscillations in people.
Although this method is more efficient than current protocol, it does not directly stimulate neurons in the brain, which is the goal for most people working in the field of neurology. Scientists are still looking to find stimulation methods that would deliver enough charges to the brain with a decreased effect on the scalp. There is need for devices that deliver a higher intensity of current, without causing an excess of sensory discomfort.

Can anyone help me about a John Grove. His son Thomas Grove a carpet weaver in Kidderminster,was born about 1813 and married on March 31st 1839 to a Mary Ann Siner.
Any help would be much appreciated.
27-04-2006, 11:24 AM
There is this John GROVE in the 1841 census of Kidderminster who is a Carpet Weaver - any use??

My maiden name is Grove and my grandfather was Alfred Grove whose first wife was Mary Ann Foster. They were from Kiddeminster England and Alfred first arrived in the US on July 30, 1903. One of their children was named Thomas so I wonder if the Thomas Grove you are asking about might be my great grandfather. Since I am 77 years old and an only child there is no one in my family I can ask about this. All of my father's siblings are deceased. I had seen your posting only today when I decided to do a Google search on Kiddeminster England birth records. A few years ago I did a search of the immigration records for Ellis Island in New York City, where all immigrants had to sign in when arriving from England or Europe. I have printed out the ship manifests on my family and also find that a Jan E. Grove, 36 year old male, born in Kiddeminster, arrived in the US on March 5, 1904 along with my father, Wilfred, his brother, Thomas Henry, and his sister, Annie. Another record I found states that a Thomas Hy. (Henry?)Grove, age 32, born in Kiddeminster, arrived in the US on August 7, 1910. It seems likely that all of these are related. I know that Alfred, my grandfather was alone when he first came to the US in July 1903. He went back within a few weeks and came alone again in August 1903. Then the records show that his wife, Mary Jane and his children, Wilfred, Thomas Henry and Annie came to the US on March 5 1904, along with a Jan E. Grove. I remember my father telling me that he remembered returning to England when he was a child and that they had trouble returning to the US because of the first World War. I have found the immigration record when he and his whole family did return to the US on Sept. 8, 1914. I have no idea whatever happened to the Thomas HY. or Jan E. that I have mentioned. My father never mentioned either of these names to me. Is this any help? I would be interested in hearing from you.

In September of 1984, at least 751 people got violently sick in The Dalles, Oregon. At first, no one in the town could figure out why. Those sickened had all eaten at ten different restaurants in the area, but local health officials couldn’t find a common food that may have caused their illness. A year later, they…
Staminus Communications, a hosting provider that specializes in DDoS protection, was the target of a massive hack that exposed sensitive customer data, including credit card information. One of the company’s clients is the Ku Klux Klan, so there’s that.
“Operation KKK” seeks to expose high-ranking members of the white supremacist group. As it did last year, Anonymous is leading a campaign to release the personal information of alleged Klan members, assuming its favorite stance—righteous sower of chaos. Hold the pitchforks: There’s good reason to doubt what these…
A "radiation weapon" designed by a rogue mechanic was offered for sale to the Ku Klux Klan and two synagogues, the FBI claims. South Carolina's racist terror club and two upstate New York synagogues were allegedly approached by a 49-year-old who hoped to build and sell his secret weapon.
I can't imagine a normal person having a use for this crazy raincoat but if you're a wizard and/or KKK member, you'd probably like to protect your headgear from getting wet too. This limited edition raincoat does just that for you.
Almost too weird to believe: writer Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK in the late 1940s, and learned the powerful organization's secrets — but nobody would publish them. Meanwhile, the Superman radio program needed a villain to replace the Nazis.

Armenia and the US Need New Impetus in Their Relations
Since the election of the US new president and the transfer of the power from the Democrats to the Republicans, it is high time for Armenia to demonstrate an initiative to mutually consider new formats of cooperation that will further deepen the existing relations between the two countries. A step towards this will be organizing bilateral high level meetings. It would be ideal if as a result of those meetings the sides sign a memorandum, which will signal a new stage of the cooperation between them.
High-level meetings at this period of time is of special importance, taking into consideration also the fact that Armenia is passing from a presidential system of governance to the parliamentary one.
In this context it would be more than natural that during those meetings among other issues the sides also discuss, as well as initiate steps for further deepening the parliamentary connections between the two countries. The sides can make initial arrangements for the new format of cooperation between, for example, the ruling parties, which will assume regular meetings of the party representatives with a clearly defined cooperation agenda. In the context of the parliamentary diplomacy, the cooperation in the framework of the US-Armenian friendship group should also be activated.
On the other hand, the cooperation at the executive level can be boosted by stronger connections between various ministries, which can be achieved by establishing a regular format of meetings between the US and Armenian counterparts (for example once a year).
Thus to further boost the US-Armenia relations, the cooperation at different levels should become even more active. This also refers to the cooperation with the local-governing bodies, such as with the US separate states, cities, etc.
Finally, taking into consideration the so-far demonstrated tendency of Trump’s team in their foreign policy, Armenia, in its relations with the US, should focus on the aspects of cooperation which are of mutual interests for both sides and are not only based on the assistance programs.
