The golf club remains open and active when Trump is on the scene, giving the president a chance to mingle with members and, as he delights in doing, dropping in on weddings and parties. That’s the kind of off-the-cuff promise-making that White House aides are on high alert for.Īlso, during his trips here, there are fewer staff members around to try to keep him upbeat and, with some luck, away from the television. “Whatever’s needed in America, whether it’s truck drivers or programmers, whatever’s needed for American companies,” Catsimatidis said Trump told him. as well as for companies to hire the foreign workers they need. He told those in attendance that he was considering signing an executive order to make it easier for top-performing foreign students to stay in the U.S. John Catsimatidis, a billionaire businessman and radio host who owns a New York City supermarket chain and attended the dinner, described Trump as in a “great mood” as he touted the economy and fielded questions, including several on immigration.

The program formally commenced in 1972, becoming the sole focus of NASA's human spaceflight operations after the Apollo, Skylab, and Apollo–Soyuz programs in 1975. Various shuttle concepts had been explored since the late 1960s. Original selling points on the shuttles were over 150 launches over a 15-year operational span with a 'launch per month' expected at the peak of the program, but extensive delays in the development of the International Space Station never created such a peak demand for frequent flights. Each vehicle was designed with a projected lifespan of 100 launches, or 10 years' operational life. The orbiter also recovered satellites and other payloads (e.g., from the ISS) from orbit and returned them to Earth, though its use in this capacity was rare. Its missions involved carrying large payloads to various orbits including the International Space Station (ISS), providing crew rotation for the space station, and performing service missions on the Hubble Space Telescope. The Shuttle is the only winged crewed spacecraft to have achieved orbit and landing, and the first reusable crewed space vehicle that made multiple flights into orbit. ![]() When its mission was complete, the orbiter would reenter the Earth's atmosphere and land like a glider at either the Kennedy Space Center or Edwards Air Force Base. The Space Shuttle-composed of an orbiter launched with two reusable solid rocket boosters and a disposable external fuel tank-carried up to eight astronauts and up to 50,000 lb (23,000 kg) of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO). It flew 135 missions and carried 355 astronauts from 16 countries, many on multiple trips. Its official name, Space Transportation System ( STS), was taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft of which it was the only item funded for development.

He even added that parents of kindergartners are in favor of buses featuring this system because the first row or two of every bus containing lap-shoulder belts is reserved for their little ones. He said they now expect to wear lap-shoulder belts, so it was not difficult at all. Later, I asked the official if it was difficult to get students to buckle up. Soon, every driver in this particular district wanted their buses equipped with safety belts. Initially, only a few drivers wanted to drive buses containing restraints however, as others noticed the behavioral improvements in students as a result of the restraints, they also began requesting buses with lap-shoulder belts. ![]() Because officials in this particular district have seen a reduction in bullying, student attendance and retention has also improved. View Gallery: October political cartoons from the USA TODAY NetworkĪdditionally, bullying - which can occur onboard school buses - has decreased substantially. This behavioral improvement has also considerably reduced driver distraction. Because students in his district are required to buckle up, cases related to discipline issues have reduced by 90 percent. Those that were belted in remained safely restrained.Īfter the test was completed, one supervisor who began phasing in safety belts on all buses in his school district five years ago informed me that the benefits of restraints go well beyond the obvious improvement in safety. For those unbelted, the crash proved to be fatal. In this scenario, crash test dummies were both belted and unbelted. ![]() During this simulation, a semi driven at 35 miles per hour hit the side of a bus fitted with cameras and other data collection equipment. I recently observed a simulated school bus accident in Indiana that yielded all too real outcomes. Incidents like these often force parents to wonder, “Why do we let our children leave the safety of our family vehicle where their car seat or lap-shoulder belt ensures they are protected for a school bus without any type of restraint system at all?” The argument against school bus lap-shoulder belts wears thin when one considers that there are about 20,000 injuries on buses across the country every year. The school bus is the only vehicle on the road today for which a lap-shoulder belt is not federally mandated. The Lap and Shoulder Belt bill may provide a solution to resolve this difficult problem. Recent accounts of school bus driver shortages across the country are not unique to a particular area in fact, these shortages can be found right here in Tennessee.ĭriving a school bus is a great responsibility that is filled with stress and distraction and is also prone to criticism. ![]() ![]() The help system adjusts itself automatically to the size of your screen.

Fitzhugh (Broderick), who is jobless, broke, has lost his family and being evicted from the building, and characters played by Casey Affleck, Michael Pena, Gabourey Sidibe (her second film since her Oscar nomination) as a Jamaican whose father would crack safes, and - well, Kovacs decides they need someone more familiar with crime and enlists Slide ( Eddie Murphy), a loud-talking dude from the street in his neighborhood. Obviously, this requires stealing the car from the penthouse, where there's no door or elevator that can handle it. They're looking for a wall safe, but then discover Shaw's Ferrari is solid gold: $65 million is hidden in plain sight. Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead an all-star cast in Tower Heist, a comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them. Enraged, Kovacs recruits a team to break into the apartment. From director Brett Ratner, Tower Heist also stars Matthew Broderick, Téa Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe, Casey Affleck, and Alan Alda. So dear old Lester and all the others are penniless. The FBI is on the job because Shaw has been running a Ponzi scheme, and among his loot are the pension plan and investments of the tower's employees. It was taken apart piece by piece, he explains to FBI agent Claire Denham ( Tea Leoni), and assembled there. His most prized possession is a bright red 1953 Ferrari, once owned by Steve McQueen. ![]() The penthouse is owned by Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda), a financial wheeler-dealer, whose walls display priceless modern art. His team works flawlessly, beginning with the beloved doorman Lester (Stephen Henderson). The story: Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) is the perfectionist building manager at the most luxurious condo skyscraper in New York, which providentially is on Columbus Circle, in the exact footprint of Trump Tower. It's funny in an innocent screwball kind of way. There is also the novelty that here is a comedy that doesn't go heavy on the excremental, the masturbatory and symphonies of four-letter words. ![]() It's the kind of story where the executives at a pitch meeting feel they're being bludgeoned over the head with box-office dollars. The movie is broad and clumsy, and the dialogue cannot be described as witty, but a kind of grandeur creeps into the screenplay by Ted Griffin and Jeff Nathanson. When Alda's character is revealed to be running a Ponzi scheme that frittered away the pensions of the building's blue-collar employees, Stiller's building manager character rounds up a posse- including Gabourey Sidibe's Jamaican maid, and two dopes played by Casey Affleck and Michael Pena- to break into Alda's apartment and steal what they assume is a huge trove of cash.Quibble, quibble. The Tower is home to average Wall Street guys like Matthew Broderick's character as well as kingpins like Alan Alda's, living in a penthouse apartment with a rooftop pool, a car that once belonged to Steve McQueen, and all the rich guy entitlement you could ask for. There will be funny scenes or exciting scenes, or especially a moment when Eddie Murphy seems awake onscreen for the first time in years, but they all eventually float back into a movie that's a steady stream of mediocrity, adamant in its refusal to stand up and make something of itself.Įven the tower at the center of the movie is unremarkable, called simply "The Tower" and shot at a black monolith building that looms over Columbus Circle with its utter blandness (in real life it is, of course, owned by Donald Trump). Director Brett Ratner is famous for these kinds of movies, and while he does nothing to get in the way of the things that Tower Heist does well, he doesn't enhance them either. ![]() It's a movie without passion or any of the trick-door complications of the heist genre, just an opportunity to throw some stars, jokes and big visual set pieces into a high-rise building and entertain the masses. Unless by "bad" of course you mean bad movies, which Tower Heist is just innocuous enough to avoid becoming. ![]() ![]() ![]() This will definitely extend the wireless signal. We’ve seen people try to solve the issue of extending their WiFi range by installing additional wireless routers or using signal repeaters. Learn about nuances of wireless access point installation from our experts. It may take some trial, error and aesthetic compromise, but by the time you’re through with this post, you’ll know how to arrange your equipment around the unique layout of your home or office. Unless your home is in the construction phase and cables can be hidden in the walls, you’ll usually be left with some amount of visible cable. Running cable is tedious and requires some craftiness. People place their wireless routers in discreet locations for a reason-they’re ugly! It’s true, most wireless routers meant for home use look like something out of a science fiction movie with blinking lights and large antennas.Įven so-called “wireless” routers and APs typically call for at least one cable in order to provide power and Internet connectivity. Your AP’s optimal position may also conflict with your aesthetic. Large structures, like walls and shelving units, as well as materials, such as glass, metal and stone will weaken your wireless signal. However, in most scenarios, a variety of factors prevent a simple repositioning from being the quick fix, especially if you are trying to extend your WiFi signal to an outdoor location, such as the garage or backyard. A centralized location allows the WiFi signal to extend and permeate every square inch of your home equally. In a perfect world, you would position your AP in the exact center of your home. ![]() There are sectorized APs that broadcast wireless signals in a 45 or 90 degree area, but you typically don’t find these used outside of commercial applications. Most wireless routers or APs broadcast wireless signals omnidirectionally, a fancy way of saying the WiFi signal is broadcast in all directions. One of the key elements of a strong WiFi signal is the location of your wireless router or access point (AP). Choose the right location for your router or access point How To Extend WiFi Range Outside (In Your Home) 1. We’ve listed a few situations below, some do’s and don’ts and a summary of them all to help you make a more educated decision when it comes to extending your WiFi signal. Your options vary based on the type of environment you’re in, the type of equipment you’re using and the results that you want to achieve. There are plenty of ways to extend WiFi range outside, from floor to floor, or from building to building, without having to make hefty investments or become a certified network engineer. Wondering how to extend wifi range outside? Think you have to be a network engineer? Think again! You don’t think of your WiFi connection when it’s working properly, but when it isn’t, the slow speeds, dropped connections and dead zones can drive you to obsession, willing to do anything and pay any price to extend your WiFi and have it work properly.
