#is a bit more complicated without a proper building inspector

[gwarden123]

It sucks so much when someone's house gets destroyed in a storm or somebody's kid dies because a boundary wall falls on them, and you can see just from the pictures that it only happened because it wasn't built properly.

The First: Aftermath (Part 2)

A collaborative work between myself and @reneethecyborg on what happened after Lupin III: The First. Part 2 of 4, 1609 words.

It never ceases to amaze Zenigata how quickly things tend to spiral out of control when the Lupin gang is involved. Just a few days ago, he was staking out a Parisian museum in hopes of preventing Lupin from stealing some old diary with vague ties to his grandfather. The stakeout had sort of worked, excepting Lupin’s usual dramatic escape at the last second. Then radio silence for a day or so, until Lupin popped up again in the middle of Mexico for no clear reason. That’s when things really got complicated, as they almost always do with these people.

While arresting Lupin may be the cornerstone of his career, Zenigata’s primary goal has always been to uphold justice and root out corruption wherever it may lurk—even among his own coworkers, from time to time. With that in mind, it’s not terribly surprising that he often finds himself forming a temporary alliance with the Lupin gang when there’s a greater evil to deal with, and there are few greater evils than the one they’ve come up against this time.

All in all, things seem to have worked out alright. The entirety of the Brazil base’s manpower was either taken into custody or gunned down when Interpol (and the Lupin gang) stormed the place, the Eclipse device was kept out of the wrong hands, and Laetitia Bresson can get on with her life as a bright young woman with a promising career in archaeology to look forward to, finally free of the dark cloud hanging over her.

But something still isn’t sitting right with Zenigata.

He would never admit to giving them a head start—it would sound too much like he’s going soft—but it didn’t seem fair to chase the Lupin gang out on a rail before they had a chance to say goodbye to their new friend. From where Zenigata had been watching on Interpol’s own boat, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice, the whole affair seemed rather subdued. Lupin didn’t perform any of his usual grand gestures of farewell; Laetitia had hugged him, but he ended it fairly quickly and spent most of their conversation on the speedboat, like he was trying to keep a bit of distance between them.

The pursuit didn’t last long, on account of the fact that they could hardly leave Laetitia stranded there on the pier, but what little he saw before cutting the gang loose left a bad taste in his mouth. Again Lupin lacked his usual grandstanding and bravioso—no cheeky waving, no jumping around hurling childish barbs as the speedboat careened off into the sunset.

As a detective, Zenigata’s job is to make inferences based on whatever scraps of information he can wring out of a situation. In this case, the information he has leads to one conclusion: whatever happened on that plane, it didn’t go anywhere near as smoothly as Lupin insisted it would when he originally pitched his plan to destroy the Eclipse personally. There’s other supporting evidence, too; when the plan was originally hashed out, Lupin claimed he would set the Eclipse to destroy itself and then immediately bail out before it could become a danger to him. But when the time came, nobody saw him at all until long after the plane had begun to consume itself, and even then he didn’t have his parachute.

Something went wrong up there, Zenigata’s sure of it. If he had to guess, he would suppose that Geralt wasn’t as much of a pushover as Lupin seemed convinced he would be. They probably fought—or rather, Geralt fought while Lupin danced around making a fool of himself. Given the nature of Lupin’s scheme, it would stand to reason that Geralt might have come at him with everything he had. People tend to abandon all pretense when their ideology and life’s work goes up in smoke before their eyes. With that in mind, it’s very likely that Lupin took a beating before he could get away. That would explain his behavior after the fact, if he were injured.

Of course, there’s not really anything Zenigata can do about his theory, regardless of whether he turns out to be right. Going back for Laetitia meant he had absolutely no chance of catching the Lupin gang, or even tracking where they might have gone; he’s got a hunch they’re still somewhere in Brazil, but that’s not enough to work with. And there’s still all the logistics and busywork that come after a caper like this—reports to write and fact-check and edit, charges to file against the surviving Nazis, favors to cash in so Laetitia can make her way back to France (and then, shortly, to Boston) without too much hassle.

Zenigata is going to be up to his neck in paperwork for the rest of the month making sure this mess is sorted out properly and without any mistakes, and that’s assuming everything goes smoothly when it comes to filing charges. He’d like to believe his annoyance at being chained to his desk is purely a result of not being able to hunt down the Lupin gang after having no choice but to let them slip away, but he’d be lying to himself. The truth of the matter is that he’s worried, and there’s nothing to be done about it now except grind through the paperwork and wait to see if they resurface any time soon.

Just as Zenigata’s considering calling it quits for the night, his desk phone rings. That in itself isn’t terribly unusual, but everybody who’s needed to speak with him about today’s chaos has come to him directly—the building’s internal lines have been tangled up for hours with all the cross-department communication. It must be someone from outside the building, then, and Zenigata has a strong hunch who it might be. “Inspector Zenigata,” he says automatically.

“It’s Jigen.”

That’s what Zenigata was hoping for. “I’m not going to bother asking where you are.” Jigen would never say, and it would be impossible to trace the call before he loses his patience and hangs up. Besides, he’s almost certainly calling from a payphone, and that’s only marginally more useful information than ‘probably somewhere in Brazil’.

“Good. Saves us some time.” He sounds about as terse as usual—his gruff demeanor doesn’t translate well to phone conversations—but there’s something else there. Maybe he’s tired. “Just wanted to let you know we made it to dry land.”

Well, that’s good. Pretty vague reassurance, though. “And you’re all alright?” He can’t be blamed for probing a bit. It’s basically his job.

A brief pause. Not a good sign. “We’re all alive, if that’s what you mean.” Definitely not a good sign. Jigen sighs, or maybe it’s just static on the line. “Look, pops, I’ll level with you. Lupin’s not doing too hot. He’ll live,” he adds hastily, cutting off any possible miscommunication.

So Zenigata’s hunch was right. It’s no victory, all things considered. “How bad is it?”

Another pause, though this one is less loaded. “Not as bad as it could’ve been. He didn’t get shot this time, for once.” Lupin had mentioned his plan to palm Geralt’s bullets before they disembarked. Sounds like he pulled it off. “But that prick really did a number on him. Broke some ribs, fucked up his arm. Nearly crushed his throat, looks like.”

Zenigata finds himself gripping the receiver more tightly as he imagines what might have happened to cause those injuries, anger bubbling into his chest. Lupin may be a criminal, but nothing he’s done would ever warrant such brutality. “And you and Goemon, you two have it under control?” If they needed a proper doctor, Zenigata might find himself too busy to notice any reports that might come in regarding notable patients in the area. He’s got a lot of work to do, after all.

“I think so. It’ll mostly just take rest. Lots of rest.”

“Are you sure you can make that happen? Lupin won’t like it.”

“We’ll chain him down if we have to.” Jigen says it flatly, but there’s a hint of humor under there.

The situation must not be too dire, if he’s able to crack jokes. “Well, thanks for telling me. I really appreciate it, Jigen.” He won’t admit that he’s been fretting since he had to make the call to turn the boat around.

“No problem. It’s what Lupin would want, anyway.” Jigen pauses again; there’s a faint tapping noise, like he’s drumming his fingers on the receiver a little too close to the mouthpiece. “Pops, do yourself a favor. Take a vacation once you’re done cleaning up the Nazi mess. We’re not gonna let Lupin do jack shit for at least a month or two, so you’d be wasting your time waiting up for us.”

Now that he mentions it, a vacation sounds nice. Zenigata does get to travel a lot, but only for work; he hardly has time to take in the sights or buy souvenirs. “A month or two, huh? I’m holding you to that. I want a clean bill of health before you even think about another heist, got it?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Jigen sighs more than says. “Anyway, I’m gonna go. I’ll tell Lupin you said hi.”

And just like that, the line goes dead. In terms of the Lupin case, Zenigata still has no leads, but he can’t bring himself to be particularly upset about it. He got the information he was hoping for, and he can’t really ask for more than that. Instead, he returns to his paperwork and makes a mental note to look into attending Laetitia’s archaeology seminar in Boston next month.

31 Tips to Prepare your Home and Property for Spring

🌸Spring.

It is closer than you think.

How do we take great care of our home and yard to ensure we get the most life out of it?

We thought about it and decided to put together a list of things you can do, or have someone do to keep your home and property at it's very best! Helping to be sure it will last for years to come.

In most cases, just a few minutes of work can save you from the potential of a much more serious issue. What do they say? Short term pain for long term gain? That sounds fair.

People love to do the right thing, but find it better to have guidelines to help them make the most efficient decisions. To make this easier, this list is broken into 3 parts;

Exterior of the home.

Interior of the home.

Yard and Surrounding Structures.

These are broken down so you can easily tackle one section per weekend, leading up to Spring.

Then you will be ready to bring on the grill weather without worry!

Let's start with the Exterior of the Home.

Change in temperature and more severe weather (snow, ice, cold, freezing, extreme changes) can cause your home to react in ways that could cause potential harm to the home if left untreated. A simple scan and repair list can make a world of difference to the life and health of your home. Let's take a look at the Exterior Checklist.

Exterior of the Home Checklist

1. Roof

Examine the roof for loose or missing shingles, as well as any damage to pipes in the roof area. It is important to note that you do not need to get on the ladder yourself to check, you can use your eye, your phone to zoom in, or even binoculars to check it out. *If you feel your roof needs further inspection, call a professional home inspector or roofer, do not attempt to get on the roof without proper training or equipment. Always safety first.*

2. Exterior Walls (Siding/Wood Shingles/Wood/Stucco/Masonry)

Check to see if the walls of the home are in good standing. Check for loose shingles, loose siding, peeling paint or stucco, or loose or crumbling masonry. If you see that your home has any of these issues, it would be a good idea to enact a plan to make sure you are able to strengthen the surfaces so they are ready for the rain and sun to come. If you are unable to do it yourself, find someone in your area that has a great reputation and can assist you with any repairs, treatments, or replacements you may need to get your exterior walls back in good standing. This is also a good time to paint once you are sure the structure is good.

3. Chimney

Masonry can shift in the weather, bricks can become loose or start to crumble. A regular inspection can help you find problems early and fix them in time before they become more serious. Check for crumbling cement, decaying bricks, or pieces that have fallen. If the chimney looks like it has shifted you may want to reinforce the strength of the structure as soon as you can, get someone with expertise in the area to take a look. Most (not all) companies offer a free quote.

4. Foundation

The foundation can shift and crack in the weather as well. If you take a walk around the perimeter of your home you will search for any cracks, bulges, holes, or stress marks (discoloration) in the foundation. Some are an easy fix, but the sooner you find and repair them, the less problematic they will be for the future. Cracks in the foundation often start causing leaks or endanger the stability of the home structure.

5. Doors/Windows/Screens (Including garage doors)

Weatherstrips around the doors and windows can be deteriorated over the winter. A quick scan, some caulking, and a bit of paint can lengthen the life of your doors and windows. Check for any damage to the doors and windows themselves, as well as the casings around the doors and windows. Check for signs of water damage. Check the hinges on the doors, and windows, see that they are not rotten, they are not rusty, and that they are well oiled and working with ease. The window and door screens will need an inspection for holes and rot. If you see a hole it can be as easy as a screen repair kit available at most hardware stores, or as complicated as needing a new screen. Either way, you are protecting your home from unwanted insects and critters.

6. Outdoor Faucets

Inspect your outdoor faucets to be sure they work, as well as to be sure they are receiving the amount of pressure they need. A great tip from HGTV is to put your thumb or finger over the spout if putting the thumb/finger there causes the water flow to stop you may have damaged pipes in the home and you should look at getting a plumber to have a look at it.

7. Gutters

Heavy snow and ice can weigh on your gutter system. Spring is a great time to inspect your gutter for any debris, gaps, loose or broken pieces, holes, or overall damage. It is a good idea to check them over, repair and clean before the rain season starts to avoid excess water surrounding your home.

8. Trim

Outdoor trims and moldings can need some tightening or fixing up. Check around the home to see if any trim has rotted or has loosened from the structure. Use the proper tools to tighten them back up and caulk where needed. Again, we do not want loose areas for water and bugs to get into your home.

Now that we have completed the Exterior check, we can move on to the Interior of the home.

The Interior of the Home has many areas that can become at risk if no one inspects it. This lack of inspection can leave your home vulnerable to weather, water damage, or critters, just to name a few. A simple Scan of the areas and list to fix or schedule to be fixed can save you a lot of major headaches down the road. Let's take a look at our Interior of the Home Checklist.

Interior of the Home Checklist

9. Leaks

Check for leaks by scanning the most likely areas to see leaks such as Faucets, Sinks (and under sinks), Pipes, large Appliances, Windows, Doors, Ceilings, Attics, and Basements. If you see signs of water damage, dry discolored spots, water pooling, etc., it is best to address the issue right away to avoid more damage. Leaks are no laughing matter.

10. AC Units

Since they do not tend to get used year-round, inspecting them prior to their high use seasons are ideal times to check on them. There are many things you can do, inspect, turn them on, clean the unit, replace any filters (follow the recommendations in the manual, each unit is different) if everything works ok you should be good to go for another season. If not you may need the unit recharged. There are heating and cooling companies that specialize in these units.

11. Attic

Check your attic for leaks, debris, critters, damage. You don't go up there every day so take the time to really look around at least once a year.

12. Basement

Check around the walls, doors windows, for signs of water damage, cracks, or shifting (this will often lead to cracks). Check around for signs of critters that may have gotten in and inspect where the water/critters may have gotten in. Repair as soon as possible.

13. Extra Cleaning

They call it Spring Cleaning for a reason! This is a great time to do the stuff you don't normally do to get ready for the open windows and sunshine. I often think of things like washing baseboards, trim, blinds, drapes, walls, ceilings. Cleaning the railings, cupboards, drawers, fridge, freezer, and other items that get ignored for most of the year.

14. Safety Devices

This is a great time of year to check on all of your home safety devices, see that they are in good working order, and change the batteries if batteries are required. Smoke Alarms, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, and Fire Extinguishers, all need regular checkups and some detectors need fresh batteries.

15. Furnace (check and change filter)

Spring is a good time to check and change the filter in your furnace. Some furnaces have a maintenance schedule, some companies include checkups in their purchases. Check your furnace contract if you have one, if you don't have one it would be worth your time to call the furnace company and see what best practices are for your furnace and what is or is not included with your furnace.

16. Caulking

Bathrooms and Kitchens need caulking around tile, tubs, showers, sinks, and counter surfaces. Over time and use the caulking breaks down and needs to be redone. recaulking regularly will save your surfaces from rot or leaks.

17. Exhaust Fans

Bathroom and Kitchen exhaust fans, get full of dust, grease, and other debris. It is best to check and clean your exhaust fans so the motor is free to work without all the extra weight and stress of dust and other build-ups.

18. Back of Fridge and Dryer

The back of your fridge has a large coil that attracts dust. The back of your dryer has a huge hose that can hold dryer lint and dust. Cleaning and vacuuming these areas at least once a year will benefit the life of these appliances. Plus lower the incidence of fire.

19. Critter check  

Check for signs of termites, mice, or other vermin by looking around corners, warm damp low traffic areas like cupboards, under appliances, attics, and basements as mentioned above. You will see signs like chewed drywall, droppings, insulation pieces from the walls, etc. If you suspect a critter problem it is best to try and get a pro to handle things so they don't affect your wiring and safety.

We are feeling so great!

☑️The Exterior is all checked and doing well.

☑️The Interior is all checked and doing well.

Now it is time we address the Yard and all of the Surrounding Structures.

Quite often, we forget to check the things and areas around the home that need regular attention. Let's take a look at the things that you may have around your yard that would also benefit from a Spring checkup!

Yard and Surrounding Structures Checklist

20. Decks and Patios

When examining your decks and patios check for holes, weak spots, missing boards. Inspect your railings for movement. Address the needs of the structure first. Once the structure is sound, you can treat the wood with sealers or paint to keep them safe and beautiful for the seasons to come.  

21. Fences and Gates

Treat and seal, or paint your wooden fences and gates to freshen them up for the beautiful Spring and Summer seasons. Check for loose boards, missing slats, or damaged parts. Also, check on hardware such as hinges and latches to be sure they work with ease and do not have any rot, rust, or breakage. Oil hinges if needed.

22. Lawn Furniture

This is a great time to inspect lawn furniture for rot, exposure, and other damage. It is a good time to treat, paint, and repair your furniture before the season starts requiring you to use your furniture regularly.

23. Lawn care

Over the season's foliage can be moved around and branches can be broken. It is best to trim bushes and trees away from the home and powerlines to avoid danger. If the area you would like to trim is hard to access, get professional help, do not risk your safety.

24. Lawn Power Equipment

Any lawn equipment such as mowers, blowers, whipper snippers, and hedge trimmers, need to be inspected for rust, ceased up motors, wire health, and proper amounts of oil/gas, or whatever other lubricants they are meant to have for their health. Checking before starting these machines could save you from blowing the motor and the cost of replacing the machine completely.

25. Grills and BBQ's

Inspect your grills for rust, rot, critters, or holes before you fire up the BBQ! Also, check your tank and hoses to ensure they are in good working order before you turn them on.

26. Driveways and Pathways

Weather can cause things to shift, crack, lift, or fall. Keep your walkways and driveways safe by inspecting and fixing any areas that have shifted to keep the people that use these areas safe.

27. Sprinklers/Irrigations Systems/Hoses

Damage can happen due to weather and expanding and contracting. Checking to see that the pressure is good and all water is flowing freely is a good place to start. Hoses can rot and become unusable.

28. Septic Tanks

Yearly inspections of your septic tank will ensure the safety of your water and systems.

29. Stagnant Water

Remove or Treat all stagnant water to reduce mosquito breeding ground. Empty and refill birdbaths, lawn decor that holds water, manmade ponds, etc. Anywhere water is sitting for a long time.

30. Dips in Yard

Use compacted soil to fill in any dips in the yard. You can find the dips by walking around after rain and seeing if the water is pooling anywhere, especially close to the foundation, that area is especially important to protect from leaks. This practice will help to avoid water build-up that could create leaks and mosquito breeding grounds.

31. Firewood Piles

Move Firewood away from the home and up at least 18 inches off of the ground, this will prevent the wood from rotting and also prevent the wood from becoming infested with insects. Keeping it away from the home will prevent the critters and insects from being drawn closer to your home than necessary.

Water Off The Duck’s Back

Scene 5 - Greg returns to his normal routine understanding much more of the Holmes brothers than he had bargained for.

After seeing the detective in his birthday suit for two days, it was odd to watch the man dressed in his purple shirt and trousers, adjusting the collar of his coat. Greg moved forward and approached him from behind, in the pretext of helping him adjust the already perfect collar.

Sherlock concentrated on the feel of the inspector’s chest almost resting on his back, eyes narrowed, lips pursed. Swiftly turning around from the window where he was observing the staff outside, he caught the surprised inspector by the waist and held on.

Greg gave a withering smile uneasy for having almost lost his balance when Sherlock made the deduction. Easing away his tension, the inspector smoothed the detective’s shoulders with a smirk and asked, “Ready?”

“Best if you returned first. To keep my prying brother from gathering information,” Sherlock stated, his hold on Greg’s waist firm, eyes focussed with utmost concentration on the stubbled face that reflected peace and happiness.

“Oh, of course,” Greg weakly nodded, cleared his throat and made to move away.

Realising that Sherlock was not ready to loosen his grip, the inspector looked up into his eyes, that reflected nothing but a depth of darkness. Looking hard, Greg realised he was being assessed and sighed, “I am fine. Don’t bother.”

“Hmm,” was the only response from the detective.

____~____

The drive back to town was trying, but Greg managed without much hassle. Having switched off the phone for the two days of his leave, the battery had died and the car charger kept losing connection with the socket. Not bothering to fix it, Greg drove directly to Scotland Yard, pocketed his phone and took the lift to his office.

“Where were you!?” Sally demanded, following him when he got out of the lift.

Waving her away, Greg continued walking with a spring to his step and smile on his face, that disappeared on seeing the receding hairline that he was most familiar with, through the window of his office. The door was closed, thankfully and Greg swiftly turned around bumping into Sally who was standing right behind him.

“I thought I should warn you,” she said sarcastically, “but, you seemed pre-occupied. So I didn’t bother.” The quirk of her eyebrows said it all.

Without uttering a word he snatched the first file lying on Sally’s desk and left the building.

Scene 6 - Mycroft confronts Greg and is more perplexed by his evasiveness than Greg is by Sherlock’s response.

“Where the Hell have you been!? I need you to help me find Sherlock! He’s been missing for two whole days and my agents have no idea where to look! Has he contacted you? Did you send him on one of your investigations?” Mycroft never approached him when he was at a crime scene. He always summoned him to his office at Parliament Square or his car that would be idling by the curb a few metres away from the site.

Licking his lips that had gone bone-dry, Greg ran through explanations in his head for his conduct, only to process the words uttered by the elder Holmes and sighing with relief he rolled his lower lip between his teeth and lied, “I’ve been busy. Sure he isn’t simply pulling your chain? Did you go to his place and check up on him?”

“Of course I bloody did! Why do you think I am here?!” Mycroft was furious and his umbrella handle took the toll.

“I’ll look into it and let you know by evening. I should really get back,” Greg gave a quick nod towards the crime scene that was taped and breathed deep, eyebrows raised high as if for acknowledgement.

Mycroft gave a grim nod, lips pursed and walked off, umbrella as stiff as his back by his side.

____~____

The relief was short lived. Greg feared that the Government Official was too concerned for his brother to notice the details of Greg’s adventure and would easily put two and two together. What the hell was he thinking!? Such a stupid decision!

He needed to contact Sherlock fast and find a proper way of confronting the issue. No way this could be kept secret from the man who defused terror cells day in day out.

The weak chime from his phone alerted Greg. Removing it from his coat pocket, he noticed the 9 missed calls and several texts from Mycroft’s number. the one he did open was from Sherlock sent a minute ago.

I’m back.

Looking at the phone screen for sometime, Greg finally decided to leave the investigation to Dimmock. Driving within the speed limit he reached the small apartment that Sherlock had rented the previous month within the hour and rushed up the stairs to the third floor.

Panting for breath outside the door, both hands on his knees, mouth open, he shook his head on hearing the voice from inside say, “So eager.”

Scene 7 - Greg accepts the weirdness of his existence with a pinch of salt.

“What’s the plan?” Greg got straight to the point the moment he entered the flat.

“What plan?” Sherlock innocently asked, busying himself with the laptop that was precariously placed on a pile of books.

“You know! To tell Mycroft!” Greg exclaimed, sounding frustrated and exhausted.

“All that work will be for naught if you get frenzied over my brother’s intrusiveness,” the detective parabled, as he typed away.

“What work?” Greg asked cautiously, eyeing the detective continue monitoring the screen calmly.

Tilting his head ever so slightly, pursing his lips, Sherlock merely shrugged his shoulders and raised an eyebrow at Greg.

“You don’t mean ..?” Greg let the question hang between them, a loose thread that he was unwilling to pull.

Sherlock’s head tilted a little more as his chin rose while the corner of his lips dropped as if in “What else?”

Hands still on his hips, Greg was dumbstruck. “It was just to settle a score, wasn’t it?” Greg whispered, closing his eyes in defeat.

The sudden whoosh of hot breath over his lips made him stagger back but warm hands caught him by the elbows. Breathing out heavily Greg let his head fall forward, shoulders drooping, giving up the will to resist. Sherlock moved closer, his chest an offering of rest for the swirling emotions of a hounded soul.

“We cannot,” Greg whispered, “Not anymore.”

“No,” Sherlock responded softly, his even breathing giving the inspector the strength he sorely lacked.

“Then what?” Greg futilely asked.

“We make it as if you were simply an experiment, nothing more, if ever he finds out. Which, I assure you, he will not,” Sherlock added emphatically bit softly.

“How can you be so sure?” Greg sounded doubtful.

“I disabled all his listening devices before texting you,” Sherlock countered.

“What?!” Greg’s head flew up, face astonished, looking at the smiling face of the detective with absolute anger.

Scene 8 - The final episode in the one time adventure of the inspector from Scotland Yard.

“I assume he has been clean for the past month, Inspector?” Mycroft asked loftily, seated behind his desk, typing away on his laptop.

“Yes. There has been no incidences,” Greg confirmed. Minimising words was the best way to avoid blunders, he had realised.

“Is his quarters good enough? What do you think? You’ve been spending quite a lot of time there, I hear,” Mycroft briefly looked up at the inspector at the last line and scrutinised the man like a hawk eyeing it’s prey from afar.

Clearing his throat Greg shrugged and gave a brief nod.

“Keep him occupied, will you. That’s the only way to wean him of his drug habit,” Mycroft added with a scoff and returned his attention to the screen.

“Of course, I will,” Greg replied with relief and moved towards the door with speed. As his hand reached the door knob, the voice from behind rumbled, “Next time you decide to get lost on a vacation do inform me beforehand.”

Gripping the door handle with all his might, Greg mumbled a “Hm,” and walked out heart pounding. Resting his back on the closed door, he took a deep breath while coming to a decision.

____~____

“What are you playing at?” Greg sounded annoyed. He was sitting on the only sofa in the room while Sherlock was busy climbing the shelves and searching for bugs. Annoyed at the interruption the detective shushed him and continued for almost a quarter of an hour. “For a man who barely moves his ass to clean this room, you have the energy of squirrel when it comes to hunting bugs!” Greg couldn’t help exclaim.

“Found it!” Sherlock smiled gleefully as he pulled out the hidden camera from inside the skull’s eye socket and dismantled it.

Shaking his head, Greg started to rise. He had been there for about an hour to discuss a case that was baffling them. Each time Greg got distracted from the case and veered the topic to his meeting with the elder brother, Sherlock shot him a strange look and gave him a few useful hints on the case.

Greg was a man with simple ideas about life. Enjoy the work, love life, everything else will fall in it’s place. The Holmes brothers on the other hand loved to complicate matters. The one thing that they taught him was to be silent and observe when in doubt. That’s the best way to learn of the other’s lapses.

Having gotten enough information on the case, he decided it was time to leave. But, Sherlock seemed to have other plans. He was hovering over him, studying him like a bird of prey, first with one eye, then the other. The similarity of the brothers was oddly unsettling.

“You’ve been sleeping well,” Sherlock stated.

“I have,” Greg replied, his head bobbing. hands in pockets.

“No nightmares,” Sherlock observed.

“No,” Greg shook his head, biting his lower lip.

“Good night, Inspector,” Sherlock wished him and was on the other side of the room looking out the window before Greg raised his head.

But when you rush to get out your plunger and drain opener liquid, or immediately grab the telephone to call a plumber? It depends about the situation-and in your knowledge of plumbing ins and outs. Weigh the seriousness of the situation, your experience level in resolving similar issues, plus your financial situation to make a decision.

BIG CHANGES IN WATER HEATERS began April 2015. Is your water heater 8 years old or older? Changes in how water heaters are now made may effect you. The Department of Energy made new laws for water heaters starting April 2015. While the more energy efficient units will be better for the environment they could be very challenging for home owners, especially condo owners and where the water heater is in a small space or closet. New units will be larger, more complicated to install and costlier. Call MGR Plumbing Services to see what options are best for you - changing your water heater NOW with a current, cheaper unit, if available, that will fit into your existing space, or considering a tankless water heater, or using the new energy efficient units that are just out. Don't wait for a problem, the new changes will make a quick fix unlikely.

A plumber is really a skilled, licensed educated professional. The plumber opens a small business hires several general labors and does well. Training and schooling several team players. They all work tirelessly, make a fare wage and so are content. But, one of these simple team players had a concept... The Idea was, how I might make money using what I find utilizing this professional plumber. So, this employee began to consider what it really would take to accomplish one of several services the professional plumber agreed to the city. As he looked into exactly what it takes to start a business he found out that some of the plumber's skills could possibly be done legally without each of the years of schooling and special license. You need a small business name & license, insurance, a bond, had to buy a little equipment, set some money aside for advertising, each of the while working for the professional plumber. After almost a year of conserving money, buying equipment and preparing to accept the entire world. He gives his notice for the professional plumber. I am going out on my very own; this is it, the danger, the task, the adventure a person can have.

For potable drinking water, plumbers in North Port used copper pipe. The copper pipe water lines were used for routing potable drinking water to the various fixtures throughout a new home. Those copper water lines were joined together using a lead solder. Copper water lines are still used today, however; the solder used to join the pipes no longer contains lead.

If everyone in the United States could manage to use just one less gallon of water per shower every day, we could save some 85 billion gallons per year. How do you do it? By keeping the shower pressure lower or by making your showers a few seconds shorter.

If a plumber needs to do major repairs to your house, the work could call for a permit. You'll want this since a permit provides added assurance that the work is done correctly. Having this added measure in place means an inspector will check the work your contractor or plumber does to ensure he or she did the job correctly. If you ever plan on putting your house or commercial building on the market, a real estate agent and prospective buyers will also want to check any large work you did to make sure it was done properly.

So, I decided to use the old approach of participant observer for a Ocala plumber and try and write what I am gathering from many people I really do not know.  It saves energy too. Most systems have a very timer that you can program the machine to change don and doff at certain points of the day, like when you find yourself sleeping or at the job, that can turn off capacity to the unit. It will just use power if it's programmed to run. Some units run continuously and will utilize a large amount of one's, but installing a unit that features a timer will save you on your own electricity bill also, making the house much more efficient and greener.

The goal of a lot of capitalistic minded individuals is usually to go ahead and take knowledge learned because you age, and transform it into a life's dream. You can work with the Man, as people say, but that's the Man? My notion of the man is someone plus some say Government, but anyone who has taken danger, and has been an established Entrepreneur, the owner of a large company, sometimes termed as a money machine. These are many of the saviors in our country. Yes, sometimes greed and power assume control and manipulate folks depressed by the device. From a young age we are programed to benefit someone, paying high taxes and held back from your unlimited opportunities this Nation will give to us.

Finding a plumber must not be a problem, since there are so many around prepared to handle your assignment. The problem however is getting the right person to do the job. In most cases, people begin their search by asking around off their family and friends. Recommended plumbers are usually the best especially in emergencies.

In order to become a plumber, anyone should apply for a plumbing license. This license is disseminated from the county or city the person resides in. Therefore, each city inside state might have its plumbing license requirements. However, all counties and cities from the state of Pennsylvania agree that the plumber must have work experience just as one apprentice. Before you can become licensed, work experience might need to be completed within plumber that is already licensed by the state.

A plumber is really a skilled, licensed educated professional. The plumber opens an enterprise hires several general labors and does well. Training and schooling a group of team players. They all give your very best, make a fare wage and therefore are content. But, one of these team players had a concept...

Under-slab plumbing issues occur in old homes where galvanized pipes were used for plumbing. As well, lead piping is another issue as it is a health hazard. Plumbing companies can remove old pipes and replace them with modern piping. Proper drainage is another concern with old plumbing. After a while, the old pipes can become damaged or clogged. Plumbing companies are able to clean the drain and sewer lines and make any repairs or replacements.

Typical factors of slab leaks for example the shifting of the groundwork (because of bad design or ground situations), inferior water supply lines, water supply pressure that's excessively high, and the water chemistry(when the pH scale of the water supply is excessively high, then the incoming copper pipeworks may begin to rust and you'll have pinhole leakages). You may also figure out if you get a slab leak by examining the water supply meter in the home. If the small arrow moves within a few minutes, that implies that there is a slab leak.

Make your own Instagram filter

Blink, smize, pout, post. (Apostolos Vamvouras via Usplash/)

Ah, Instagram—my life, my love, my doom. Lusting over other people's vacations and brunch outings is an official hobby of mine, but as much as I love scrolling endlessly through the beautiful lives of people I mostly don't know, I love Stories more. They're quick, they're easy, and their limited lifespan allows me to be as silly as I want without ruining my whole grid aesthetic.

Plus, Stories allow you to add a filter to your photos—one of the most versatile features on social media nowadays. Want to horse around looking like a cute rodent? There’s a filter for that. Want to have silky smooth skin and try on lipsticks you can’t afford? There’s a filter for that. Want to look like the cover of a Pink Floyd album? Well, you get the gist.

For years, Instagram filters were only made by the platform itself or by a handful of studios and creators with access to Spark AR Studio, a tool Facebook designed specifically to create filters for their platforms. But that changed in early August, when Spark AR's closed beta version ended and the software became available to anyone dreaming of making their own filters.

So, as the Instagram addict I am, I volunteered as tribute and set about learning how to make my own filters—and then write about it so you can do it, too.

But before we start, there are some things you need to know:

It's not that hard (if you don't want it to be)

Building a filter can be complicated, but the difficulty depends on how elaborate your idea is. If you want to stick to something easy, you can create a lot of 2D effects in Spark AR that won’t require you to animate anything or spend hours on end trying to figure things out.

Experience is not required, but it makes things easier

If you’re already familiar with graphic editing programs such as Cinema 3D or even Adobe Photoshop, you may find it easier to navigate Spark AR. If this is your first encounter with such a tool, make sure to explore and experiment with the platform first. It’ll help you get to know it a little bit better.

Spark AR already did most of the work for you

When Facebook opened Spark AR to the public, it created a community of creators to help, inform, and inspire its members on the new art of filter-making. There's also a rich platform of content, materials, and tutorials to educate people on all things filter. In fact, when you download Spark AR, the first thing you'll see is a menu with preset projects such as an animated bunny face mask, a light streak, and floating particles. These will give you a pretty good idea of how the main types of filters work behind the scenes, but you'll also be able to play around with them until you've achieved something completely new and yours.

If you’re more adventurous and want to try animating 3D objects, there’s an entire library of preset elements for you to put in your filters, including all sorts of skulls, Pokeballs, anime characters, and even a realistic dancing crab, for whatever reason.

Since I have absolutely no animation experience and prefer minimalist effects anyway, I’ll build a simple 2D filter. Doing so is easy enough and a perfect initiation to making filters. You can combine 2D elements, use them separately, or even multiply them within a single project to create a richer effect.

Lesson No. 1—Know thy surroundings

Spark AR has a lot of elements. Knowing your way around is crucial. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

Start by downloading Spark AR Studio. It's free, easy to install, and available for Windows 10 and macOS Mojave 10.14 and higher. Once it's installed, you can choose to work with various presets or start your own filter from scratch by clicking on the Create Project button in the bottom right.

Spark AR will open to the default workspace, which is divided into four areas. In the top left, there’s the “Scene” panel, which will show the basic structure of the objects in your filter. By default, you’ll see “ambientLight0” and “directionalLight0,” which are lighting elements.

Below the Scene panel is the “Assets” panel, which will contain all the materials that describe the objects in the Scene panel. For example, if you add a red rectangle to the Scene panel, the color element will show up in the Assets panel.

The space in the middle is the viewport. This will be your main workspace, offering two perspectives of your project. The bigger one in the center shows all the objects in your filter within the range of your device’s camera. This will help you create effects in camera space—which move with the camera—or world space—which stay put regardless of where the camera moves.

That little rectangle is your device, and the lines that connect it to the image show the range of your camera. (screenshot of viewport in spark ar/)

In the top right of the viewport, there’s another viewer called “the simulator” that shows how your filter will look as a final product. By default, you’ll see your work as it would appear on an iPhone 8, but if you hover over the viewer and click on the name of the device, you can change it. Options span a number of iOS devices (including the iPad) and Android smartphones (including some versions of the Samsung Galaxy, the Google Pixel, and the Google Nexus).

You can choose the specific device you want to build your filter for, or test how it looks on different screens. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

Finally, on the far right of your workspace, there’s the “Inspector” panel, which will show the properties of the elements in your scene and allow you to edit color, texture, position, rotation, and other details.

Spark AR includes several test faces for you to try your filters on. You'll be able to see how they look on people of different genders and ethnicities, a blank canvas, and even yourself. You can play with your options by clicking on the camera icon to the left of the Scene panel and choosing the face you want to use from the pop-up menu. If you want to try it on yourself, choose Facetime HD Camera and you'll be able to build a filter on your own face.

Oh, hi there! Greetings from behind the red square. (screenshot of spark ar showing the live camera/)

At any point in the process, you can test your work on the Instagram app. Just click on the Send to Device button (second to the left of the Assets panel) and choose Send to App. You can test it on both Facebook and Instagram by clicking the Send button next to each one.

If you've never ventured beyond Microsoft Office, you may find this a little nerve-wracking, but don't worry—it'll all start making sense once you're actually working. If you'd like a little extra help, check out Spark AR's interface walk through.

Lesson No. 2—Teleport by changing the background

Let’s start with something simple. Swapping your background is technically called “segmentation” and is a basic, but fun, effect that offers tons of possibilities.

1. Choose an image to use as your background. You can select a proper photograph or create something new by playing with colors and effects in Photoshop or any other image-editing software. I chose one of the Hubble Space Telescope's pictures of the Bubble Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. Look how cool it is—of course you'd want to teleport there. Even its name is rad.

2. Add two rectangles. One will be the background (like a green screen) and the other one will display your face while erasing your real-world background. Head to the bottom right of the Scene panel, click on Add Object, scroll down the pop-up menu, and choose Rectangle. Do this twice. By default, your rectangles will appear as "Rectangle0" and "Rectangle1", but it's a good idea to change the names so you don't get lost. I changed "Rectangle0" to "Background" and "Rectangle1" to "Foreground, for example." To do so, double-click the name and a field will appear. Make sure both rectangles are nested under canvas0. This means both will be "children" of that element and will be subjected to any changes you make to their "parent."

3. Set the rectangles' sizes. Click on the Background rectangle (formerly known as "Rectangle0") and you'll see its properties in the Inspector panel on the right. Click on the Size fields and then the Fill Width and Fill Height drop-downs that appear. This will make the rectangle change size no matter which device a person uses it with. Do this for the second rectangle as well. Your viewport will be completely covered by the rectangles, which will be displayed as a checkered pattern called "alpha." This means they're transparent, but they're still there.

In this step, we aim to expand both rectangles to cover the entire filter. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

4. Separate the layers. By default, any object you add will join the layer you last worked in. If you don't want it there, you'll have to move it to a different layer. For the segmentation effect to work, you'll need the rectangles in different layers so the background renders after the foreground. To do this, click on the Background rectangle in the Scene panel. On the Inspector panel to the right, click on the Layer field and choose Create New Layer. If you want to, you can rename the layers by clicking the Layers tab in the top right of the Scene panel, and double-clicking the name each layer in turn.

5. Create new materials. Time to give those transparent rectangles a solid form. That's what "Materials" are for. You'll assign each rectangle its own material by selecting each one in the Scene panel and then, in the Inspector panel on the right, clicking the plus sign next to Materials. When you do it for the second time, you'll see a drop-down menu offering existing materials or the option to create a new one. Choose the latter.

Once you’ve chosen your materials, they’ll show up in the Assets panel and it’s also a good idea to rename them to keep track. When you select your materials in the Assets panel, you’ll see a bunch of new options in the Inspector panel. You can change color, texture, opacity, blend, etc. If you want to experiment with your filters, play around with these options and see what you can come up with.

Materials are one of the main elements in Spark AR—they can be a picture or a block of color. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

6. Create a segmentation texture. This will turn any video captured by your camera into a texture, which means it'll separate you (or whoever you're pointing your camera at) from the background. In the Scene panel, click on Camera, and in the Inspector panel, click the plus sign next to Segmentation. A new asset will appear in the Assets panel called, by default, "personSegmentationMaskTexture0".

7. Add "texture extraction" to the foreground material. First, click on Camera in the Scene panel, and in the Inspector panel, click the plus sign next to Texture Extraction. Another asset will appear in the Assets panel, named "cameraTexture0."

To use it as a new texture, click on the foreground material in the Assets panel. In the Inspector panel, change the Shader Type (first item on top) to Flat, which will give this material the properties of a flat, 2D element. If you want to give it a volume effect (ideal for 3D), the Physically-Based option is a good choice. You can also play around with these to see what types of effects you can come up with on your own.

Under Diffuse (the second item in the Inspector panel), find Texture and choose cameraTexture0 from the drop-down menu. Lower, check the box next to Alpha (it will look like it's "off" but clicking the box to the right will make it appear) and in the Texture field, open the drop-down menu and choose personSegmentationMaskTexture0.

8. Change the background. It might look like nothing happened, but you're almost there. You've set the foundation for your filter and now all you have to do is change the background. Click on the Background_Material and on the Inspector panel, under Diffuse, change the color to something that contrasts with the subject in the camera. This will help you adjust the edges of the segmentation by changing the Mask Size and the Edge Softness. You'll find these options in the Inspector panel when you click personSegmentationMaskTexture0.

If you like blocks of colors, you can stop there and play around with different background colors. But why do that when you can get a constellation? Let’s change that background.

Select your Background_material, and under Diffuse, reset the color to white. Lower, under Texture, click on Choose file from computer and upload the picture you want to use as a background. Keep in mind that large photo files may be too big for Instagram or Facebook to process seamlessly, so keep it as light as you can. I used a 720-by-734-pixel image weighing around 86KB, and the program was a little sluggish.

9. Add a little sparkle. As cool as teleporting yourself to Cassiopeia may seem, it's not cool enough. Not unless you have some shiny bits of flair floating around you. This is known as the floating particle effect, and it's a common feature in Instagram filters. Applying one to your filter will be quite easy and highly customizable.

Having the emitter as an independent object allows you to create a “world” effect. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

First, in the Scene panel, click on Add Object and scroll all the way down to the end of the list to choose a Particle System. You'll notice a new element in the viewport emitting alpha squares in the middle of your viewer. This is your emitter, and the alpha squares are the particles.

When you create your emitter, it will appear in the Scene panel under your foreground rectangle, which means it will be subjected to the Focal Distance element (second under Camera) by default. If you want to create a "world" effect, click on the name of the emitter ("emitter0," by default), drag it down and drop it below Microphone. This will make the emitter an independent object.

You’ll notice three arrows coming out of the emitter. They represent the X (red), Y (green) and Z (blue) axis, and you can drag them around to change the emitter’s position. Also, when you click on the name of the emitter, you’ll find a list of every possible customizable option. We’ll go through a few of them.

The checkered pattern is called “alpha.” it means something's there, but it’s transparent. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

<p><strong>Position, scale, and rotation:</strong> These all have X, Y and Z fields that will help you move the emitter around in relation to the camera (position), how far in each direction the particles will go (scale) and at what angle (rotation). You can play with the values of these fields (positive and negative numbers) to create the effect you want.</p>

<p><strong>Emitter:</strong> You can choose what type of emitter you want to use. Since I have a fixed background—it will not move if we move the camera—I'll use the <strong>Ring emitter</strong>, which will spray particles in a spherical radius. This will create a "world" effect that will make some particles appear closer and others further from the camera.</p>

<p><strong>Customizing particles:</strong> The <strong>Birthrate</strong> determines the number of particles the emitter will release. The more particles you want, the higher this number will be. <strong>Speed</strong>, <strong>Scale</strong> and <strong>Lifespan</strong>, are self-explanatory—the first one determines how fast your particles move; the second: how big your particles are; and the third: how long your particle will last before it fades.</p>

<p><strong>Force:</strong> This is like gravity. If you play with the values in the Y axis, you'll notice your particles will appear lighter or heavier. A value of 0.05 will slow your particles down—the lower the value, the heavier particles will be.</p>

10. Add a material. Until now, you've only have the idea of particles; simple alpha squares floating around your filter. Now, it's time to add a material. With the emitter selected in the Scene panel, go to the Inspection panel, scroll down, and click on the plus sign next to Materials and choose Create New. A new element will appear on the Assets panel. Double-click on it and rename it "Particle_material."

You'll notice your particles will have changed. Mine turned yellow, but yours might've turned some other color (if that is the case, don't worry). Select Particle_material in the Assets panel, and then in the Inspector panel, click on the Shader Type drop-down and choose Flat. All this works if you're using a 2D particle effect, but if you're using something with a 3D effect, you can use Physically-Based, instead. Further down, under Shader properties, next to Texture, click on the Choose file from computer option. An explorer window will open and you'll be able to select any file you like.

No, Spark AR guy, those are not fireflies. (Sandra Gutierrez G./)

Whatever image you end up using for your particles will have to have a transparent background. Most of the time, you’ll find these types of files in PNG format with a simple Google Image search. I looked for “spark, filetype:.png” on Google Images and chose the one I liked the most. Once you have a particle with its own texture, you might want to readjust your emitter. I went back and made the particles bigger (from 0.01 to 0.05).

Congratulations! You made your first Instagram filter. Now what?

11. Share your new filter. To do so, you'll have to upload it to the Spark AR hub, where it will be reviewed by Instagram's support team. Once they've seen it and have determined that your filter complies with the platform's community guidelines, your filter will be available in the Instagram gallery, on your profile, within Stories, and through a sharing link. The process takes about five business days.

Start by clicking the Export button to the left of the Assets panel (it's an upward arrow). Once there, save your project in an arexport file, which you will have to upload to the Spark AR hub. The program will automatically direct you there once the export is done.

Spark AR is a versatile tool that’s not that user-friendly, but stands out because of the vast possibilities it offers those who want to create filters. With a little imagination and tweaking, the segmentation and particle emitter effects alone can launch a myriad of experiences. There’s a lot of content out there for you to learn and experiment with, so it’s just a matter of investing the time and playing with it.

Now, if you excuse me, I have some stories to post.

I can see the view count going through the roof. (screenshot of woman with instagram filter/) from Popular Photography | RSS https://ift.tt/31fVmBM

AP FACT CHECK: Trump on migrants, Saudis, Hispanic vote

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump inflated the projected benefits of an arms deal with the Saudis as he defended his wait-and-see attitude about Saudi complicity in the disappearance of a journalist whose apparent murder has sparked world outrage.

On immigration enforcement, the president made the unsubstantiated claim that migrants are being paid to mass at the border and somehow disrupt the Nov. 6 elections in the United States. Trump also stretched credulity when boasting about his performance with Hispanic voters at a rally and distorted facts concerning climate change and the Russia investigation in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

A look at some of his words over the past week:

HISPANIC VOTE

TRUMP: “We’re doing very well with Hispanic Americans. We’re doing very well. Because you know what? They want safety at the border. They want great jobs. Remember, the last election, well, ‘he won’t do too well with the Hispanic vote.’ Did we do well or what?” — Arizona rally Friday.

THE FACTS: More “what” than “well.”

Among Hispanics, Democrat Hillary Clinton beat Trump handily in 2016, 66 per cent to 28 per cent, according to exit polls. That level of Hispanic support for a Democratic candidate was similar to 2008, when Barack Obama gained 67 per cent of the Hispanic vote to Republican John McCain’s 31 per cent.

At the same time, Clinton’s performance among Hispanics lagged their support for Obama in 2012, when he won 71 per cent to Republican Mitt Romney’s 27 per cent.

Trump in 2016 had campaigned heavily on a platform of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, calling for mass deportations and referring to some Mexicans as rapists. Given that record, it’s fair to claim he outperformed expectations with Hispanic voters, but he did worse or at least no better than McCain in 2008.

——

MIGRANTS

TRUMP, on a caravan of Central American migrants trying to reach the U.S.: “A lot of money’s been passing through people to come up and try to get to the border by Election Day because they think that’s a negative for us.” — Montana rally Thursday.

TRUMP on the caravan: “Can you believe this, and what Democrats are allowing to be done to our Country?” — tweet Thursday.

THE FACTS: Trump was riffing off of an unsupported allegation by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., that people were being paid in Honduras to join the caravan and “storm the border @ election time,” as Gaetz tweeted.

Gaetz tweeted a video on Wednesday of men handing out money to people standing in a line, without evidence that it illustrated his claim. Questioned about the video’s origin, Gaetz posted a correction on Twitter, saying, “This video was provided to me by a Honduran government official. Thus, I believed it to be from Honduras.”

Neither man has produced evidence that the migrants are being paid to come to the border.

Mexico’s government says migrants with proper documents can enter Mexico and those who don’t either have to apply for refugee status or face deportation.

——

SAUDI ARMS DEAL

TRUMP: “Frankly they have a tremendous order — $110 billion. Every country in the world wanted a piece of that order. We got all of it. And what are we going to do? Again, I’ve had some senators come up and some congressmen that said, ‘Well, you know, sir, I think what we should do is we should not take that order.’ I said, ‘Who are we hurting? It’s 500,000 jobs.”‘ — interview Wednesday with Fox Business News.

TRUMP, on possible action against Saudi Arabia: “I’ll be working on this with Congress. … But I would prefer that we don’t use as retribution cancelling $110 billion worth of work, which means 600,000 jobs. … I went there to get that order.” — remarks Friday at a defence event in Arizona.

THE FACTS: Trump’s wrong to suggest that he has $110 billion in military orders from Saudi Arabia. A far smaller amount in sales has actually been signed. His State Department has also estimated much fewer U.S. jobs than Trump’s figure of 500,000 to 600,000, projecting “potentially tens of thousands.”

Details of the $110 billion arms package, partly negotiated under the Obama administration and agreed upon in May 2017, have been sketchy. At the time the Trump administration provided only a broad description of the defence equipment that would be sold. There was no public breakdown of exactly what was being offered for sale and for how much.

The Congressional Research Service described the package as a combination of sales proposed by Obama and discussed with Congress and new sales still being developed.

The Pentagon said this month that Saudi Arabia has signed “letters of offer and acceptance” for only $14.5 billion in sales, including helicopters, tanks, ships, weapons and training. Those letters, issued after the U.S. government has approved a proposed sale, specify its terms.

Regarding economic impact, Trump’s claim of about 500,000 jobs involved — he later upped that figure to 600,000 — is questionable given the tenuous nature of the orders. A May 20, 2017, State Department fact sheet on the proposed $110 billion deal estimated it could end up “potentially supporting tens of thousands of new jobs in the United States.”

Trump’s repeated claims that he’s signed $110 billion worth of new arms sales to Riyadh are “just not true,” said Bruce Riedel, a senior fellow at Brookings Institution and former CIA and Defence Department official. “Very little has changed hands.”

Trump has pledged unspecified “severe punishment” should the U.S. determine Saudi involvement in the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who had written columns critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. But Trump has said he does not want to halt the arms sale to Saudi Arabia because it would harm U.S. manufacturers. Saudi Arabia is indeed a major U.S. ally and arms customer.

Trump on Friday called Saudi Arabia’s announcement that suspects in Khashoggi’s death are in custody a “good first step.” Saudi Arabia has claimed that Khashoggi was killed in a “fistfight” at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

Trump said that before he decided what to do next, he wanted to talk to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

MONTANA SENATE RACE

TRUMP, speaking about the failed nomination of White House doctor Ronny Jackson to be Veterans Affairs secretary: “Ever since his vicious and totally false statements about Admiral Ron Jackson, the highly respected White House Doctor for Obama, Bush & me, Senator John Tester looks to be in big trouble in the Great State of Montana! He behaved worse than the Democrat Mob did with Justice K!” — tweet Wednesday.

THE FACTS: Trump misleads by seeking to place the blame for Jackson’s failed nomination entirely on Tester, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. It also remains unclear whether the late-surfacing allegations against Jackson are “totally false” because the Pentagon inspector general is continuing to review some of them.

Jackson, a Navy rear admiral, withdrew his nomination in April after Tester released results of committee interviews he conducted with military personnel who raised questions about Jackson’s prescribing practices and leadership ability. The interviews were done with the knowledge and support of Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., chairman of the committee considering Jackson’s nomination.

The time period covered Jackson’s tenure as a White House physician dating to 2006 and involved his current and former colleagues who served in both Republican and Democratic administrations.

Jackson, who broadly denied allegations of bad behaviour, had already faced tough questions from several committee Republicans about whether he had the experience to manage the massive VA.

The allegations were referred to the Pentagon’s inspector general for evaluation. After an initial assessment and review, the inspector general’s office in June decided a formal investigation was warranted. That probe is continuing, according to the office.

——

CLEANEST AIR

TRUMP: “I want the cleanest air on the planet and our air now is cleaner than it’s ever been.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: He’s wrong about the air being the cleanest ever, according to his own administration. While the air generally has been getting cleaner since the 1970s, the downward trend in pollution has made a bit of a U-turn since Trump took office.

His Environmental Protection Agency released data that showed traditional air pollution — soot and smog — increased in 2017 and that the air is not the cleanest it has ever been.

The days with an unhealthy number of small pollution particles, often called soot and linked to heart and lung problems and deaths, jumped from 2016 to 2017 in 35 major metropolitan areas. In 2017, there were 179 unhealthy soot days, up 85 per cent from 97 in 2016. Last year had the most unhealthy soot days since 2011.

The number of days with unhealthy smog levels was down from 2016, but higher than 2015, 2014 and 2013.

The number of days when the air quality index was unhealthy was 729 in 2017. The number of days is higher than a year because it counts each city’s unhealthy reading on a certain day as one and there are numerous cities involved. Last year’s level was the highest since 2012 and a 21 per cent increase over the cleanest air in 2014.

——

CLIMATE CHANGE

TRUMP, when asked about a dire U.N. report this month on climate change that said dangerous warming has already happened and that with each degree, the many harms to Earth will get even more treacherous: “No, no. Some say that and some say differently, I mean you have scientists on both sides of it.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: He’s wrong to suggest the scientific community is substantially split. Scientists from around the world wrote the recent report, and it was unanimously accepted by government representatives around the world, including in the United States, said Cornell University climate scientist Natalie Mahowald, a lead author of the report.

The Trump administration last year also released the National Climate Assessment, which painted a similar picture.

University of Illinois climate scientist Donald Wuebbles, a lead author of that national report, emailed that “there is no debate AT ALL going on about this within the scientific community.”

“Trump might as well be saying that there are scientists on ‘both sides of the gravity debate,”‘ Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann said in an email. “Dangerous climate change impacts are already apparent. Of course there are uncertainties. There always are. There are uncertainties in the science of gravity (we have never measured a graviton, the fundamental unit of gravity). That doesn’t make it safe to jump off a cliff.”

——

IMMIGRATION

TRUMP: “We have the worst laws in the history of the world on immigration and we’re getting them changed one by one. We’ve made a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks even, but we’re getting them changed one by one.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: He’s actually failed to achieve changes in immigration laws. All the immigration-related changes pushed by his administration were done by executive order, not legislation, or through policy shifts such as the zero tolerance policy that criminally prosecuted anyone caught crossing illegally and gave rise to family separations. The administration also has used regulations to tighten the rules on how immigrants can receive public benefits. Immigration legislation has failed despite Republican control of the White House and both houses of Congress.

——

TRUMP, on the separation of children from their parents at the border: “Now President Obama had the same law. He did the same thing.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: Obama did not do the same thing as a matter of policy. It’s true the underlying laws were the same. But the Trump administration mandated anyone caught crossing the border illegally was to be criminally prosecuted. The policy meant adults were taken to court for criminal proceedings, and their children were separated and sent into the care of the Health and Human Services Department, which is tasked with caring for unaccompanied migrant children. The zero tolerance policy remains in effect, but Trump signed an executive order June 20 that stopped separations.

Jeh Johnson, Obama’s homeland security secretary, told NPR there may have been unusual or emergency circumstances when children were taken from parents but there was no such policy.

——

TRUMP: “And in fact the picture of children living in cages that was taken in 2014 was a picture of President Obama’s administration and the way they handled children. They had the kids living in cages. They thought it was our administration and they used it, and then unbeknownst to them and the fake news they found out, ‘Oh my God, this is a terrible situation.’ This was during the Obama administration.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: He’s right. Images that circulated online during the height of Trump’s family separations controversy were actually from 2014 under the Obama administration. But circumstances for some children have not changed. In June, an Associated Press reporter was part of a group that visited a U.S. Border Patrol holding facility, where hundreds of children were waiting in a series of cages created by metal fencing. One cage had 20 children inside, scattered around were bottles of water, bags of chips and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets. The cages in each wing opened out into common areas to use portable restrooms.

The children both in 2014 and 2018 were separated temporarily from their parents in the facilities, placed in areas by age and sex for safety reasons.

——

RUSSIA INVESTIGATION

TRUMP, about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation: “It’s a tremendous waste of time for the president of the United States. To think that I would be even thinking about using Russia to help me win Idaho, we’re using Russia to help me win the great state of Iowa or anywhere else is the most preposterous, embarrassing thing.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: Trump may be right that he did not need a boost in Idaho and Iowa, states he won in 2016 with comfortable margins of 31 percentage points and 9 percentage points, respectively. But the notion of Russia-backed activities on his behalf “anywhere else” in the U.S. is not far-fetched, according to an indictment in February by Mueller.

The indictment accuses 13 Russians and three Russian entities of seeking to help Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton by running a hidden social media trolling campaign and seeking to mobilize Trump supporters at rallies while posing as American political activists in “purple states like Colorado, Virginia and Florida.” According to the indictment, the surreptitious campaign was organized by the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll farm financed by companies controlled by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a wealthy businessman with ties to President Vladimir Putin.

The indictment says the defendants commonly referred to targeting more closely divided “purple states” after being advised by a Texas-based grass-roots organization in June 2016 to focus efforts there.

The indictment details contacts targeting three unidentified officials in the Trump campaign’s Florida operation. In each instance, the Russians used false U.S. personas to contact the officials. The indictment doesn’t say if any of them responded.

Trump lost by nearly 2.9 million votes in the popular vote to Clinton, but captured the needed Electoral College votes to win the presidency after prevailing in politically divided states including Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

——

TRUMP, on his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen: “By the way, he was in trouble not for what he did for me; he was in trouble for what he did for himself. You do know that? Having to do with loans, mortgages, taxicabs and various other things, if you read the paper.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: Cohen was definitely in trouble for what he did for Trump. He stated in open court that Trump directed him to arrange payments of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, to fend off damage to Trump’s White House bid.

Cohen said one payment was made “in co-ordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office,” and the other was made “under direction of the same candidate.”

It is true that Cohen did not identify Trump, but there was no ambiguity in court documents or in his statement.

Cohen’s extraordinary statement at his August plea hearing marked the first time any Trump associate, in open court, has implicated the president himself in a crime.

Trump is, however, correct that other charges which Cohen admitted to didn’t involve the candidate or the campaign and were for tax deception.

—-

TRUMP: “Do you know these Russian hackers you’re talking about from Moscow? They have nothing to do with me. … They were hackers from Moscow. Some of them supported Hillary Clinton.” — AP interview Tuesday.

THE FACTS: The Mueller indictment offers no evidence or reason to believe that the Russian effort was intended to help elect Clinton — quite the opposite. Some anti-Trump messaging tied to Russians was indeed disseminated online, but investigators believe the motive was to spread confusion and discord in the campaign, not to elect her.

The pro-Trump efforts identified in the indictment were strategic, on the ground in key states as well as online, and included attempts to make contact with Trump campaign officials. Russian President Vladimir Putin, while denying any involvement in Russian interference, has said he wanted Trump to win.
