December 1 is the closing date for registration.
If you are interested in Data Science, here is a chance to do something.

The Data Science hackathon is open to all, especially female-led teams.

Pls dont understand explain what is for.

A hackathon is an event, usually hosted by a tech company or organization, where people/programmers get together for a short period of time to collaborate on a project/generate ideas. The participants work rapidly and often work without sleep to achieve their task, as the events generally only last 24 hours or take place over a weekend.

The goal of a hackathon is to create functioning software or hardware by the end of the event. Hackathons tend to have a specific focus, which can include the programming language used, the operating system, an application, an API, or the subject and the demographic group of the programmers.

So in this case, people are coming together to build data science applications or generate ideas which data science technologies can fit into, and the focus is COVID-19 solutions.

So here it is; you can be a part of this hackathon if you are interested in Data Science.

Females are encouraged to apply. You can register alone or register as a team.

If you have any data science questions, you may post a response to this thread.

Republican voters rally against Trump.
A nice convention its going to be this year during the Republican Convention

No matter what, he will always seen as a failure and generations to come will read that in history. That can not be changed.
Period.

Amen.
Whether he becomes president or not is not the case, this is on record, he will likely remain in history as the poorest among all presidents of the US. That is the point.

Righteousness89:
Get yourselves ready ..
may GOD keep us all alive..

It will Repeat itself again!!

Righteousness89:
They are here again with their Ghost ratings and polls!

2016 set to Repeat itself again!!

This time it would be Greatest Lanslide of all times..

I normally don't respond to people. These are not election polls. This one shows how well the public viewed the performance of a president. It is always nice to increase in knowledge.

Once a failure, always a failure. Take a look at US presidents' approval ratings

Catch this clearly - "lost God". Even the evangelicals are paying for their trumpish ways
Lesson: become friends with Trump and you'll get ruined.

And about Trump supporters.

"The desire to matter and feel significant among Donald Trump supporters is associated with support for hostile and vindictive actions against the president’s political rivals, according to new research published in the journal Political Psychology".

“It means that among those who were particularly invested in supporting Donald Trump and whose individual sense of personal significance was mostly affected by the victory, his hostile actions were accepted the most,” Jaśko told PsyPost

Even babies hate him

And the lies?

True

Bad for life?

Donald trump is testing the institution of the presidency unlike any of his 43 predecessors.
We have never had a president so ill-informed about the nature of his office, so openly mendacious, so self-destructive, or so brazen in his abusive attacks on the courts, the press, Congress (including members of his own party), and even senior officials within his own administration.

Trump is a Frankenstein’s monster of past presidents’ worst attributes: Andrew Jackson’s rage; Millard Fillmore’s bigotry; James Buchanan’s incompetence and spite; Theodore Roosevelt’s self-aggrandizement; Richard Nixon’s paranoia, insecurity, and indifference to law; and Bill Clinton’s lack of self-control and reflexive dishonesty.

But is it anti-Buhari protest? No. It is actually Trump they rejected.
UK rejected Trump a long while ago. Because he was a silly dick.

Even Superman has had enough

Military officers are sworn to serve whomever voters send to the White House. Cognizant of the special authority they hold, high-level officers epitomize respect for the chain of command, and are extremely reticent about criticizing their civilian overseers. That those I spoke with made an exception in Trump’s case is telling, and much of what they told me is deeply disturbing. In 20 years of writing about the military, I have never heard officers in high positions express such alarm about a president.

Nobody can know a crazy leader better than Germans. They had Hitler. See what Germans think of Trump

Months before now, an anonymous author published a book warning about the Trump-risk


The author who has claimed to be a senior Trump administration official, who has written both the book “A Warning” and the 2018 New York Times op-ed that claimed there was a “resistance” within the administration, went on Reddit on Tuesday night to answer questions –- anonymously.

“Trump will hear from me, in my own name, before the 2020 election,” the author wrote on the online "discussion website," answering a question about speaking publicly.

(MORE: Anonymous senior Trump official behind 'resistance' op-ed has written a book -- and will stay anonymous)

The author continued, writing, “As far as anonymity is concerned, I will not keep my identity shrouded in secrecy forever. I am not afraid to use my own name to express concern about the current occupant of the Oval Office.”

Back in 2018, the author wrote in the New York Times that President Donald Trump’s actions could be ameliorated by officials he surrounded himself with. Now, the author said they completely disagrees with that previous judgment, saying “I was dead wrong.”

“No one can thwart his attraction to wrongdoing,” the author wrote, referring to Trump. “Americans cannot and should not rely on a group of unelected bureaucrats to maintain stability.”

Like Nigeria Airways like Trump Airline
And some other failures
Wine, casino, plaza, airline and more.


All failed. The one he's holding, the US will also fail in his hands.

Trump's academic records at NYMA

In 2011, days after Donald Trump challenged President Barack Obama to “show his records” to prove that he hadn’t been a “terrible student,” the headmaster at New York Military Academy got an order from his boss: Find Trump’s academic records and help bury them.

The superintendent of the private school in Cornwall-on-Hudson “came to me in a panic because he had been accosted by prominent, wealthy alumni of the school who were Mr. Trump’s friends” and who wanted to keep his records secret, recalled Evan Jones, the headmaster at the time. “He said, ‘You need to go grab that record and deliver it to me because I need to deliver it to them.’ ”

The superintendent, Jeffrey Coverdale, confirmed Monday that members of the school’s board of trustees initially wanted him to hand over Trump’s records to them, but Coverdale said he refused.

“I was given directives, part of which I could follow but part of which I could not, and that was handing them over to the trustees,” he said. “I moved them elsewhere on campus, where they could not be released. It’s the only time I ever moved an alumnus’s records.”

The former NYMA officials’ recollections add new details to one of the allegations that Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime personal lawyer and fixer, made before Congress last week. Cohen said Trump ordered him “to threaten his high school, his colleges and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores.”

Trump has frequently boasted that he was a stellar student, but he declined throughout the 2016 campaign to release any of his academic records.

Trump spent five years at NYMA, starting in fall 1959, after his father - having concluded that his son, then in seventh grade, needed a more discipline-focused setting - removed him from his Queens private school and sent him upstate to NYMA.

Trump told The Post during the 2016 campaign that he “did very well under the military system. I became one of the top guys at the whole school.”



He said his parents originally sent him there because “I was a wise guy, and they wanted to get me in line.”

Jones and Coverdale declined to disclose the contents of his transcript.

Those who were aware of the 2011 effort to conceal Trump’s records said the request set off a frenzy at the military academy.

“I know for a fact that in 2011, the decision was made by the superintendent to remove those records and secure them so no one on the staff could get to them,” said Richard Pezzullo, a graduate who worked closely with school officials in a drive to save the school, which was then in financial distress. “People had been making inquiries, and there was a paramount interest in securing those records.”

The boarding school had no formal archive at the time. Jones said he combed through the basement of Scarborough Hall on the academy’s sprawling campus and found the real estate mogul’s transcript in file cabinets containing student records.

“I don’t know if we should be doing this,” Jones recalled telling his boss. “He told me that several wealthy alumni, including a close friend of Mr. Trump, were putting a lot of pressure on the administration to put the record in their custody for safekeeping.”

Coverdale declined to say where he hid Trump’s records or to identify the people who ordered him to pull them out of the school’s files. “I don’t want to get into anything with these guys,” he said. “You have to understand, these were millionaires and multimillionaires on the board, and the school was going through some troubles. But to hear, ‘You will deliver them to us’? That doesn’t happen. This was highly unusual.”

The White House did not provide a response to The Post’s request for comment Monday. Leaders of the academy’s board from that time also did not respond to requests for comment. Nor did Cohen or the school’s current superintendent, Jie Zhang.

Cohen said last week that he sent threatening letters to Trump’s schools, warning that “we will hold your institution liable” if any of his records are released.

In 2011, when NYMA was asked to secure Trump’s records, he had not entered politics formally. But he was considering challenging Obama in the 2012 campaign and had been making the rounds on TV, stepping up his criticism of the president, including insinuating that Obama was not qualified for admission to Columbia University, where he finished his undergraduate degree, or Harvard University, where he went to law school and graduated magna cum laude.

At NYMA, the decision to remove Trump’s records from the files was unique, said Jones, a management consultant who served as headmaster from 2010 to 2011. “It was the only time in my education career that I ever heard of someone’s record being removed,” he said. “But people were fearful as a result of whatever call was made from Mr. Trump’s friends. I was told we’re getting a lot of heat about this.”

Coverdale, who was the school’s superintendent from 2010 to 2013 and is now a public school administrator in Florida, said he does not know what happened to Trump’s file after he left the academy in 2013.

Attended New York Military Academy. Guess what? His academic records were buried.
Man should have been born in Nigeria.

Cry for the US too while crying for our own nation
