Respected friends, July was a terrific month for our campaign. We welcomed Tim Kaine to our ticket. We put on a convention in Philadelphia that showed the nation our team, our values, and how proud we are to stand with Hillary. And it was a GREAT month for fundraising -- in fact, our best 24 hours ever started on the night Hillary accepted the nomination. Our average contribution in July was just $44, and more than half of our donors last month were brand new to the campaign. Our team is getting bigger and more diverse every day, and this is still the first and only presidential campaign in history where a majority of donors are women. Together, we’re smashing glass ceilings and breaking down the barriers that hold Americans back from reaching our full potential. Because of this team, we raised nearly $90 million in July -- and we head into August with $58 million on hand to take on Donald Trump, register and turn out as many voters as possible, and win this election. But respected friends, we can’t afford to get complacent -- not now, not ever. We're 98 days from Election Day, and early voting in Iowa starts in just seven weeks. And every day, we’re seeing anew just how dangerous and morally toxic our opponent truly is. Every time we think he can’t go any lower, he finds a new way to shock and disgust us. When we think we’ve seen it all, he finds new depths to sink to. This weekend, he went after the grieving parents of a decorated Army captain who was killed in action. That’s who he is. You and I wouldn't accept that kind of behavior from a teenager, let alone a man seeking the highest office in our country. We don’t insult and belittle people, we don’t hurl accusations colored by bigotry, and we certainly don’t attack our bravest and most vulnerable citizens like Khizr and Ghazala Khan. When it comes to Trump, it can be tempting to throw up our hands in frustration -- or direct a few choice words at our TV screens when they cut to him on the news. But we have to keep fighting. Our country is depending on us to see this through and work even harder.So we’re going to follow Michelle Obama’s pitch-perfect advice from her speech in Philadelphia: “When they go low, we go high.” We’ll never sink to Trump’s level. We’re going to keep fighting for the ideals our country was founded on: liberty, equality, and kindness towards our fellow Americans. Because here’s the reality, : Our country is deeply divided. This will be a very close race. It would be a close race no matter who the Republican nominee was -- there are just too many partisans on both sides for anyone ever to win in a landslide. That's why it's been 32 years since a presidential election was decided by more than 10 points. That’s also why we can’t afford to take a single vote for granted. We send you all these emails and we ask for your contributions and we keep on pushing day after day -- because we know that this team's work will make the difference between winning and losing this election. The difference between President Hillary Clinton protecting and building on the progress of the last eight years to make life better for American families… or President Donald Trump changing the course of our nation’s history forever. Make no mistake: This team will decide the outcome of this race. If we keep stepping up like we did in July, registering new people to vote, and getting out into our communities to talk about why this race matters and why we support Hillary, we will win. If we underestimate our opponent or take this race for granted, we’ll lose. We have 98 days left -- let’s make each one count. Chip in $5 right now, and on November 8th, let’s make history:
Thank you for everything,
Hillary for America

What you see vs. what you don't!

You’ve made it all the way to Day 6 of the Skillcrush Email bootcamp, you are killing it!
Remember last week when you were up to your eyeballs in this vs. that (Internet vs. the web, websites vs. web applications, etc)? Well, you’re back at it again today with Frontend vs. Backend.
Up until now, all of the technology we have discussed has been frontend technology. Starting today, and for the rest of the bootcamp, you will be learning about the backend.
These are not merely semantic distinctions, they actually have real world implications. Developers usually specialize in either frontend or backend technologies (not usually both) and many companies have frontend and backend teams, or even whole departments dedicated to either end!
|
|
|
|
The frontend is the part of a web site that you can see and interact with, while the backend is all the rest.
You know how the tip of an iceberg pokes out above the water, but they’re really hundreds of feet deep? That’s a lot like a web site.
The parts you see and interact with on a web site – the buttons, the dropdown menus and big bold fonts – make up the frontend.
The frontend of a web site has specific technologies attached to it. HTML makes up the text on the page, CSS makes it pretty, and JavaScript makes it interactive. All of these things happen in the browser.
The backend is everything that happens before it gets to your browser. If you’re booking a flight, that’s where prices are checked, itineraries are booked, and credit cards are charged. A backend can be very simple or very complicated.
A typical setup for a backend is a web server, an application and a database. The web server delivers a note to the application that you’d like to see all of the flights to Chicago. The application looks up the flights in the database, puts together a web page that lists them, and sends that web page back to your computer through the web server. That’s all the backend. Once your computer gets a hold of it, it’s the frontend.
For technologies used in the backend, anything goes. If a database stores your name or flight info, it might be MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or many others. Web pages could be put together with Python, Ruby on Rails, or PHP. The web server that sends those pages over to your computer might be Apache, Nginx, or IIS. The list goes on and on!
|
|
|
|
Because you don’t see the backend, programmers can swap out pieces of it without you ever knowing. For a while Twitter was powered by Ruby on Rails, but in 2011 switched over to Java. I’ll bet you didn’t notice!

Planting is set to begin in just 7 days! Time is running out!
|
In these very hills Judah Maccabee fought the Greeks. In these very hills, the Tabernacle stood for hundreds of years. In these very hills, the Jewish people have taken root and built up beautiful communities despite massive world opposition. We are now in the 50th year since the Israel Defense Forces liberated the Lands of Judea and Samaria along with the reunification of Jerusalem.We are determined to dig in deeper in order to ensure that the roots that have been planted by hundreds of thousands of idealists will NEVER be uprooted from our historic homeland. How? By bringing more of the land to life and planting the Samaria Vineyard! Thousands of brand new trees in the heart of Samaria, in the area of Biblical Shiloh!! The majestic view from the Samaria Vineyard stretches all the way to the exact location where the Children of Israel entered the Land of Israel at Jericho.
In the meantime, join with the many hundreds who have already responded to our call, and plant at least one tree in this amazing Samaria Vineyard. We are well on our way to reaching our goal of 5,000 trees This Month so that we can plant all the trees and bring this vineyard to life!
Thanks,
Israel Video Network
