Congress’ Role in the Making and Execution of National Security Policy in the Trump Era
President Obama and the Republican Congress were usually at odds over national security policy. With a Republican in the White House now, will the President and Congress see eye to eye on threats and their solutions, or will differing institutional pressures and perspectives keep the respective ends of Pennsylvania Avenue apart? And, will the congressional investigations of Russia’s attempt to influence the presidential election end with a bang or a whimper? However the investigations conclude, what impact will they have on the relationship between the two branches?

Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.
Even in sunshine it has a dark, chilling, foreboding entrance indicative of its history including as fortress, Crown Court, prison, place of execution
Demonstrators protesting the pending execution of Willie McGee chain themselves to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. May 6, 1951.
McGee, charged with raping a white woman in Missisissippi in November 1945, was executed two days later despite a six-year campaign by the Civil Rights Congress that involved protests and legal maneuvering that resulted in two re-trials and numerous postponements.
The demonstrators pictured had earlier picketed the White House.
McGee wrote to his wife the night before his execution, “Tell the people the real reason they are going to take my life is to keep the Negro down.... They can't do this if you and the children keep on fighting. Never forget to tell them why they killed their daddy. I know you won't fail me. Tell the people to keep on fighting. Your truly husband, Will McGee.
McGee was executed May 8, 1951.

General consensus was that the book was good for large company process execution with a Midwest mentality. But in the Silicon Valley, emphasis is on innovation and practice.

Ever since the practical value of electricity was discovered in the first half of the 19th century, close connections between the human body and electricity have unfolded a multiplicity of trajectories in our culture. There is the fantasy of reanimating dead tissue such as in case of the Frankenstein monster, experiments with stimulating brain cells to think faster and the electric chair used for execution. Costanza adds another chapter to this complex history of the electrified body. In her apartment, stripped of furniture and other everyday objects, she gets in front of the camera wearing only her underwear and touches her body with the tip of a MiniJack cable connected to an amplifier. As she moves the cable over the different parts of her skin, the current coming from the amplifier is connected to the ground through her body and the sound of this electric circuit is heard on the loudspeakers connected to the amp. When she touches her covered parts no sound is produced. The performance is reminiscent of a peepshow or a sex video on the Internet, except there is neither striping nor sex, only her body and the electricity, connected in a composed, yet tense act of intimacy.
