A picture is all you need. Here are three:
You see, several years back, Exxon and Rosneft entered the joint venture in 2012 to develop offshore reserves in the Arctic Kara Sea and the Black Sea, as well as onshore assets in Siberia. The following year, they advanced their strategic alliance by adding seven more blocks in the Chukchi, Laptev and Kara seas.
Sanctions against Russia in 2014 put that deal on ice until now. Tillerson is about to become the latest in Trump picks for his cabinet in the position of Secretary of State as Republicans McCain, Graham, and Rubio cave on their objection to Tillerson’s ties with Putin.
And this just happened hours ago: THE Russian ROUBLE Rallies! (breaking news: https://www.ft.com/)
Meanwhile, President TrumpleThinSkin decries his inauguration numbers with “alternative facts”and signs an order to defund International Planned Parenthood with a roomful of men watching, while also continuing to eradicate more of Obama’s work as he ends the block on Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines and pulls out of the TPP, and freezes federal hiring.
It’s the same Celebrity Apprentice face. See, it’s not hard for a reality TV, business conman to look presidential, because he’s got these guys behind him pulling the strings: 
See the look on Steve Bannon’s cruel face?
Speaking of Bannon, have you heard about the laugh Track used in Trump’s first meeting with the C.I.A. on Monday? Yes, that was his own audience he brought to clap and cheer him on having us believe that the C.I.A. staff in attendance were all cheers and laughter at his inglorious speech to them. Bannon, anyone? He just hired someone to troll Paul Ryan now too.
It’s going to be a long 100 days…

About danaj33
I have been teaching in the Broadcast Electronic Media Art department at City College of San Francisco since 2001. I started teaching full-time in 2009 and am tenured.
My career as an audio engineer spans 32-years since the first day I began to record and mix songs on my Tascam PortaStudio (cassette 4-track) in the early 80's while attending college at UC Berkeley. I formed a couple of bands and sang lead (sometimes playing rhythm guitar) until 1988 when I discovered that the "behind-the-scenes" tech realm was much more to my liking. I love how an audio engineer controls the ENTIRE sound mix, and not just one's own instrument. I then began a career as a live sound engineer in earnest and have toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe as front-of-house sound engineer for a multitude of bands on various record labels (most notably "Medicine" on American Recordings) and have been a staff engineer at the venerable Bottom of the Hill nightclub since their inception in 1991 leaving a regular shift there in 2010 due to the teaching schedule. The club and its staff are like family.
I owned and operated a live sound production company since 1989 (ending officially in 2017) called dcj Productions that has provided sound to the Bay Area community (mostly in the non-profit sector) in both large outdoor sound events as well as nightclubs and music halls.
In 1991, I started recording bands on an 8-track Tascam TSR-8 analog tape recorder and moved into the digital realm in 1993 to 16-tracks of Alesis ADAT connected to a Soundcraft Ghost console in my home studio.
In 1995, I advanced to Pro Tools and have been recording exclusively digital ever since, combining audio skills in sound for film as a location recordist as well as an engineer in post-production sound design and mixing. I remained "strictly analog" in my live sound mixing until just this past year (2012). Now that one can obtain a decent, live sound digital mixer at an affordable price, it was high time to check out digital for live. I now have a Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2 to work on with my students to give them much needed hands-on experience with a digital console.
I co-owned and ran APG Records & APG Studios, an SF record label and recording studio, from 1999 - 2004 which had a distribution deal through EMI. The company folded in 2004. I continue to record music and engineer live performances at many Bay Area venues in addition to full-time teaching at CCSF.
In 2001, I was hired to the part-time faculty at City College of San Francisco in the Broadcast Electronics Media Arts department where I have taught many of the classes including Digital Media Skills (BCST119), Basic Audio Production (BCST120), Digital Audio Production (BCST124), Sound Recording Studio (BCST125), Sound For Visual Media (BCST126), Advanced Sound Recording (BCST127), Sound Reinforcement (BCST128), Audio for the Web (BCST135), Video for the Web (BCST136), and Field Video Production (BCST141). I have also taught classes in sound design, audio for animation and games, music video, and computer applications at Art Institute of California-San Francisco, Globe Recording Institute, and Laney College in Oakland, CA.
