There is an infamous quote carved on the doors of The Boston public library saying, “Free to all”, which is you know a kind of an inspiring statement.I think Mr. Trump has never heard of the Library of Alexandria, which alone forms the sole basis of all the human civilization. And we need to understand that universal access to all knowledge is within our grasp.The statement clearly describes how “Unread” the current President of the United States is and he must know that the largest print library in the world is the Library of Congress. It's 26 million volumes, 26 million volumes. It is, by far and away, the largest print library in the world. And he should better learn what wonder spells that library has cast on the development of the Capitol hills.Once a fire in the Library's history destroyed 35,000 books, That time The US Congress allocated $168,700 for the reconstruction of the Library,So Why the hell am I talking about a Goddammn library in the Washington city, The United States is a developed nation and unlike Afghanistan, it does not depend on foreign aid. But here what POTUS Trump needs to understand is that Libraries are not just a set collection of books and journals, it is a social gathering point a research center and a center of discussion for the ‘Scholars of the State’.Now to Talk about Boston Public library:The Library developed a system of book classification called Library of Congress Classification (LCC), which is used by most US research and university libraries.The collections of the Library of Congress include more than 32 million cataloged books and other print materials in 470 languages; more than 61 million manuscripts; the largest rare book collection in North America, including the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, a Gutenberg Bible(originating from the St. Blaise Abbey, Black Forest) (one of only three perfect vellum copies known to exist);[54][55][56]Over 1 million U.S. government publications; 1 million issues of world newspapers spanning the past three centuries; 33,000 bound newspaper volumes; 500,000 microfilm reels; over 6,000 titles in all, totaling more than 120,000 issues comic book [57].With numerous titles; films; 5.3 million maps; 6 million works of sheet music; 3 million sound recordings; more than 14.7 million prints and photographic images including fine and popular art pieces and architectural drawings;[58]Now to talk about ACCESS, The library is open for academic research to anyone with a Reader Identification Card. Since 1902, American libraries have been able to request books and other items through interlibrary loan (The term sound damn too interesting)from the Library of Congress if these items are not readily available elsewhere. Through this system, the Library of Congress has served as a "library of last resort", according to former Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam. [26]The Library of Congress also lends books to other libraries with the stipulation that they are used only inside the borrowing library.[72]The question is not What purpose is the library serving? The question is, Is this the world that we really want to live in?The biggest crisis in any War-torn country is the ‘Crisis of Knowledge’, For example, Afghanistan does not have a blooming HIV crisis, It has a knowledge crisis regarding HIV, and the same thing is with India and other developing countries, You invest in knowledge and other things take care of themselves.Now if to talk about the Economic impacts that A Library puts, Knowledge production actually expands the economy. Take the development of Universities for examples, Take Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, a 300 acres college in the Southern state of India, The village after which the college is named, was initially a barren land filled with small communities of fishermen, what happened once the University sprang up? The VIT college now is the home to near about 30000 students, and the Village is converted into a robust city, with all the things available which a suitable lifestyle demands.So earlier what started from just One room and some set of books has now transformed the region into a hot bowl of a mix which has a cultural, economic and religious value to it.And here are 10 other reasons why Afghanistan needs more libraries:Libraries are eco-friendly partners.Libraries are community hubs and homes.Libraries promote diversity.They give resources to those who have none.They are politically neutral (and provide neutral research) in a divided world.Libraries offer resources for small businesses.Libraries encourage the arts, from writers to painters to rappersLibraries are a gathering place for teens, kids, seniors together.Libraries taught Steve Jobs, Hillary Clinton, Seth Godin and thousands of others.They store knowledge that — unlike the internet — is not ephemeral.“A library is a temple of learning, and has liberated more people than all the wars in the history”.And always remember “Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries”.

Meeting their GPA requirements and SAT/ACT requirements is very important to getting past their first round of filters and proving your academic preparation. After crossing this hurdle, you'll need to impress Rice University application readers through their other application requirements, including extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation. We'll cover more below.Rice University GPA RequirementsAverage GPA: 4.08(Most schools use a weighted GPA out of 4.0, though some report an unweighted GPA. This school did not officially report its average GPA, but we've estimated it here using data from over 1,000 schools.)With a GPA of 4.08, Rice University requires you to be at the top of your class. You'll need nearly straight A's in all your classes to compete with other applicants. Furthermore, you should be taking hard classes - AP or IB courses - to show that college-level academics is a breeze.If you're currently a junior or senior, your GPA is hard to change in time for college applications. If your GPA is at or below the school average of 4.08, you'll need a higher SAT or ACT score to compensate. This will help you compete effectively against other applicants who have higher GPAs than you.SAT and ACT RequirementsYou must take either the SAT or ACT to submit an application to Rice University.Average SAT: 1510This score makes Rice University Strongly Competitive for SAT test scores.The 25th percentile New SAT score is 1430, and the 75th percentile New SAT score is 1570. In other words, a 1430 on the New SAT places you below average, while a 1570 will move you up to above average.The Score Choice policy at your school is an important part of your testing strategy.Rice University has the Score Choice policy of "All Scores."This means that Rice University requires you to send all SAT scores you've ever taken to their office.Rice University ACT RequirementsAverage ACT: 33Rice University is Strongly Competitive for ACT scores.The 25th percentile ACT score is 31, and the 75th percentile ACT score is 34.Even though Rice University likely says they have no minimum ACT requirement, if you apply with a 31 or below, you'll have a very hard time getting in, unless you have something else very impressive in your application. There are so many applicants scoring 33 and above that a 31 will look academically weak.ACT Score Sending PolicyIf you're taking the ACT as opposed to the SAT, you have a huge advantage in how you send scores, and this dramatically affects your testing strategy.Here it is: when you send ACT scores to colleges, you have absolute control over which tests you send. You could take 10 tests, and only send your highest one. This is unlike the SAT, where many schools require you to send all your tests ever taken.This means that you have more chances than you think to improve your ACT score. To try to aim for the school's ACT requirement of 34 and above, you should try to take the ACT as many times as you can. When you have the final score that you're happy with, you can then send only that score to all your schools.ACT Superscore PolicyBy and large, most colleges do not superscore the ACT. (Superscore means that the school takes your best section scores from all the test dates you submit, and then combines them into the best possible composite score). Thus, most schools will just take your highest ACT score from a single sitting.We weren't able to find the school's exact ACT policy, which most likely means that it does not Superscore. Regardless, you can choose your single best ACT score to send in to Rice University, so you should prep until you reach our recommended target ACT score of 34.SAT/ACT Writing Section RequirementsBoth the SAT and ACT have a Writing section that includes an essay.Rice University requires you to take the SAT/ACT Writing section. They'll use this as another factor in their admissions consideration.SAT Subject Test RequirementsSchools vary in their SAT subject test requirements. Typically, selective schools tend to require them, while most schools in the country do not.We did not find information that Rice University requires SAT subject tests, and so most likely it does not. At least 6 months before applying, you should still doublecheck just to make sure, so you have enough time to take the test.Final Admissions VerdictBecause this school is extremely selective, getting a high SAT/ACT score and GPA is vital to having a chance at getting in. If you don't pass their SAT/ACT and GPA requirements, they'll likely reject you without much consideration.To have the best shot of getting in, you should aim for the 75th percentile, with a 1570 SAT or a 34 ACT. You should also have a 4.08 GPA or higher. If your GPA is lower than this, you need to compensate with a higher SAT/ACT score.For a school as selective as Rice University, you'll also need to impress them with the rest of your application. We'll cover those details next.But if you apply with a score below a 1570 SAT or a 34 ACT, you unfortunately start out with the odds against you and have a tiny chance of getting in. There are just too many students with high SAT/ACT scores and strong applications, and you need to compete against them.Application RequirementsEvery school requires an application with the bare essentials - high school transcript and GPA, application form, and other core information. Many schools, as explained above, also require SAT and ACT scores, as well as letters of recommendation, application essays, and interviews. We'll cover the exact requirements of Rice University here.Application Requirements OverviewCommon Application Accepted, supplemental forms requiredUniversal Application Accepted, supplemental forms requiredElectronic Application AvailableEssay or Personal Statement Required for all freshmenLetters of Recommendation 2Interview Not requiredApplication Fee $75Fee Waiver Available?

(The music and architecture schools have extra admission requirements including a recording for music and a portfolio for architecture.)

Actually, Trump’s lawyer plans to file a complaint with the Justice Department over Comey’s handling of his memos. I’m unaware of any intention to sue Comey.Trump does have a history of threatening lawsuits in an attempt to intimidate people.Here’s a list of 20 times he threaten to sue during his campaign alone:On June 30, 2015*, Trump threatened to sue Univision over the Miss USA pageant. He sued.On July 2, 2015, Trump threatened to sue the National Hispanic Media Coalition after it called one his speeches a “bigoted, racist, anti-Latino rant.”On Sept. 21, 2015, Trump threatened to sue the Club for Growth, a D.C.-based nonprofit, over negative ads.On Sept. 22, 2015, Trump threatened to sue stoptrump.us - Registered at Namecheap.com over selling anti-Trump shirts.On Oct. 14, 2015, Trump threatened to sue Culinary Workers Union and Bartenders Union for saying Trump spent the night at the unionized Treasure Island casino-resort instead of his own hotel. He sued.On Nov. 19, 2015, Trump threatened to sue John Kasich over negative ads.On Nov. 20, 2015*, Trump threatened to sue New Day For America (a super PAC) over negative ads.On Dec. 7, 2015*, Trump threatened to sue Mike Fernandez, a Jeb Bush donor, over negative ads.On Jan. 18, 2016*, Trump threatened to sue The Washington Post for writing an article about how one of his casinos filed for bankruptcy.On Feb. 3, 2016, Trump threatened to sue Ted Cruz over voter fraud in the Iowa caucuses.On Feb. 12, 2016, Trump threatened to sue Ted Cruz for “not being a natural born citizen.”On Feb. 17, 2016*, Trump threatened to sue Ted Cruz for attack ads.On March 27, 2016, Trump threatened to sue the Republican Party over a dispute about Louisiana delegates.On April 12, 2016, Trump threatened to sue the Associated Press for publishing an article about the handling of a Trump-branded condo development in Panama.On April 27, 2016, Trump threatened to sue David Cay Johnston if he didn’t like what Johnston reported.On May 18, 2016, Trump threatened to sue the Washington Post for libel.On July 18, 2016, Trump threatened to sue Tony Schwartz, co-author of “The Art of the Deal,” for negative statements Schwartz made to The New Yorker.On Oct. 4, 2016*, Trump threatened to sue The New York Times for publishing an article on Trump’s tax returns.On Oct. 12, 2016, Trump threatened to sue The New York Times for publishing an article about two women who accused Trump of sexual assault.On Oct. 22, 2016, Trump threatened to sue nearly a dozen women for accusing him of sexual assault.As far as the author of the piece knows, he’s only followed through in two of these.(The ~20 Times Trump Has Threatened To Sue Someone During This Campaign)At times he has actually sued and failed miserably.In 2009 Trump sued author Timothy O’Brien, who wrote an unauthorized biography of Trump called TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald. O’Brien asserted that Trump was actually worth a few hundred million dollars, and was not a billionaire. It’s noted that Trump’s wealth is a sensitive topic with him. Trump sued for an astonishing $5 billion. A New Jersey super judge rejected his lawsuit. The appeals court didn’t see the logic of his appeal. Trump even admitted during deposition that his wealth often depended on his feelings:"Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day. Then you have a September 11th, and you don't feel so good about yourself and you don't feel so good about the world and you don't feel so good about New York City. Then you have a year later, and the city is as hot as a pistol. Even months after that it was a different feeling. So yeah, even my own feelings affect my value to myself."Trump later sued comedian Bill Maher for this:“After Trump had insisted in 2012 that President Barack Obama release his college transcripts and passport records, Maher pushed back on the mogul’s request with a demand of his own: that Trump show proof that he is not “the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.” Maher, interviewed on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show, cited the similarity in color between Trump’s coif and an orange orangutan’s fur, as split-screen images of Trump next to the animal were displayed. If Trump complied with the request and proved him wrong, Maher promised he would give Trump $5 million for the charity of his choice. The charities Maher suggested? “Hair Club for Men” or the “Institute for Incorrigible Douchebaggery.”Trump took the jab personally. He filed a $5 million lawsuit against Maher for breach of contract, alleging that when he provided his birth certificate to Maher proving he is not, in fact, the son of an orangutan, Maher never came up with the $5 million. Alas, the lawsuit didn’t get very far. Trump wound up dropping it, but the threat to Maher remained.”For those who follow Trump closely, the lawyer representing him in this case was Michael Cohen.The obvious way not to get sued by Trump is not to hurt his feelings. Specifically, don’t devalue him. Literally. His wealth is a sensitive issue. When he agreed to be roasted on Comedy Central, his one stipulation was that they didn’t joke about his wealth. That’s it. Jokes about his wife or family were apparently okay with him, but not his wealth. “Giving evidence” shouldn’t actually be a problem. That would come after a request from a court. You can’t be responsible for that. On the other hand, revealing confidential information without any such court order can be a problem if you violate a confidentiality agreement. That’s a breach of contract. That’s one likely reason why his taxes, aside from the two pages from 2015, haven’t been leaked. As much as someone might like to leak them, so few might have copies of them (accountants, lawyers) that they would know where they came from. Their career could be ruined.(When Donald Trump had to prove he was not the son of an orangutan)Trump's lawyer to file complaint against Comey: report
