Theo Anderson’s article “The Right-Wing Machine Behind The Curtain” for the monthly magazine In These Times (Volume 41(1), April 2017) focuses on who is really behind the election of Donald Trump. For that the article concentrates on two organizations that were started in the early 1970s; the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation. Both play a crucial role in the ascend of the radical right-wing movement, and Vice-President Pence is deeply connected to the Heritage Foundation. One of the main points the author is highlighting in this article is the fact that Trump is seen as a tool for the movement’s goal to overturn the current power structure of this country.

In this memo, I will discuss the article “Back to Basics”, by John Baldwin written in the magazine High Tech News in January/February, 2017 which describes that electronics equipment depend on audio signals and radio-frequency. Signal levels varies from micro-volts to megawatts which depends upon bandwidth and power requirements of the device. In order to compare the size of small and large signals, they are represented in decibels (dB). There are three types of dBs such as: acoustic, which is used for measurement of loudness perceived by human ear, relative is common dB unit, and absolute always was a reference signal represented by dBm and dBw etc.
According to the article, “Back to Basics”, by John Baldwin describes that signal level varies from micro-volts to megawatts, there for small and high level signals are represented in decibels.

She observed while users tested her designs/prototypes to gain a more complete knowledge of what, and where, her designs needed to focus on. This discovery phase played a small role early in her career, which lead to frustration. She professes that having a robust discovery phase with lots on hand research is a great investment in all manners of UX/UI.

This is a recommendation for you to read an article, written by Kevin Dupzyk, titled “What’s That Deep in the Gulf of Mexico?,” contained in, page 8, of the April 2017 edition of Popular Mechanics. It provides a concrete appreciation of how technology assists man in protecting the marine life and the operation of oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. This article captures the role of a vessel, called the Turrittella, which is a Floating Production Storage and Off-loading or (FPSO) facility. In bad stormy and windy situations, a sensor buoy called a metocean, monitors and signals the Turrittella if something is amiss; in a strong storm condition the Turrittella can be cut-loose from the well and run.

The article by Josh Saul titled, “The New Alamo: The Fight Over Immigration is About to Get Ugly, And Texas is Where the Bodies Will Start Falling,” published by Newsweek, volume 168, number 11, on March 24, 2017, really put on the spotlight the complex issue of federal immigration laws, and how law enforcement agencies are going about procuring people that may be breaking such laws. In one end of this spectrum, the article entails how the new White House administration is pushing a strict enforcement of immigration laws by giving local police agencies the power to ask any citizen about their legal status, and by pushing local government to comply with federal agencies at the penalty of having federal funding being cut to those cities. Within just a few months into this year, federal agencies are already running out of the proposed budget for the White House agenda on this issue because non-criminal non-U.S. citizens are being trapped into this giant net the federal government has placed on the entire country, and there are not enough officers and detention places to keep these people in. On the other side of the spectrum, the people fighting to have an opportunity to live legally in the U.S., the article offers the names and doings of organizations that protect immigrants rights, and how ordinary people of different walks of life, although all undocumented, have been pushed to fight back for their lives now that the White House war on immigration is fully fledged.
According to the article by Josh Saul titled, “The New Alamo: The Fight Over Immigration is About to Get Ugly, And Texas is Where the Bodies Will Start Falling,” a national-scale of enforcement of immigration laws has begun and clashes and casualties between people and governments are inevitable.

These neutrality rules were approved by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015, to ensure that no online content is blocked and that the internet is not divided into fast lanes for companies and slow lanes for everyone else. According to the article, (in para. 4) “In a news conference, the White House spokesman, Sean Spicer said President Trump had “pledged to reverse this overreach.” Meaning the Obama administration rules, Spicer said. However, according to Lohr’s article: “Mr. Trump early this year appointed Ajit Pai, a former lawyer for Verizon and a minority Republican member of the Federal Communications Commission, as chairman of the agency, but Mr. Pai has since indicated that he plans to roll back many consumer protections regulations created during the Obama administration, including the net neutrality.”
According to Steve Lohr’s article “Net Neutrality Is Trump’s Next Target, Administration Says” published today March, 30, 2017 on the New York Times is about President Trump wanting to get rid of Obama administration’s Net neutrality rules, but his Federal Communications Commission chairman wanting to keep them.

The article “No Longer In a Heaven But Vowing Defiance,” by Lizette Albarez published in The New York Times, Volume 166, number 57,496, February 2, 2017, informs that Miami Florida where the mayor Carlos Gimenez, a once Cuban refuge running away from political persecution terminated this protection. Sanctuary cities do not follow the federal government’s order to help deport undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes or simple offences. The first step the mayor took to no longer maintain the city’s tittle was to detain and deport county jail members who were flagged as possible undocumented immigrants for two entire days. Gimenez based his decision in order to receive the profitable federal grants, which add up to $355 million a year.
According to Lizette Alvarez in “No Longer In a Heaven But Vowing Defiance,” Mayor Carlos Gimenez removed Miami’s sanctuary city title in order to receive federal grants, leaving undocumented immigrants in danger of deportation.
