Project Pope
Project Pope is a science fiction novel by the American author Clifford Simak, published in 1981 by Ballantine Books. The novel is about a group of robots and humans living on a planet called the End of Nothing. Their mission is to search the universe and other dimensions to seek out true religion and knowledge. They add the information they gather to their Pope, a robotic supercomputer, in order to make an infallible authority of all knowledge and religion. The novel was nominated for both a Hugo Award for Best Novel and a Locus Award for Best SF novel in 1982.
# Plot.
On a desolate planet named the End of Nothing at the edge of the galaxy, a group of robots and their human assistants | 6,137,400 |
54001558 | Project Pope | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Project%20Pope | Project Pope
form the religious institution called Vatican 17. This group is engaged in a secret project to create the ultimate infallible Pope a supercomputer robot containing all knowledge that can be gathered from this universe and other dimensions.
Some of this information comes from human psychics called Listeners who can travel mentally to other planets and dimensions. Their experiences are recorded on “knowledge cubes” and eventually fed into the Pope. Based on the Pope's interpretation of all knowledge both material and spiritual the robots hope to establish a truly universal religion.
A religious crisis occurs when one of their listeners called Mary claims to have found heaven. The “theological | 6,137,401 |
54001558 | Project Pope | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Project%20Pope | Project Pope
faction” of robots petition to have Mary canonized. But another robot faction doubts the authenticity of Mary's heaven. The Vatican fears an end to the search program. Mary is taken ill and cared for by the newcomer Dr. Jason Tennyson. When he arrives on the planet he quickly befriends Jill Roberts, a reporter who wants to write a formal history of the Colony.
While exploring the new planet Tennyson meets Thomas Decker, who is usually accompanied by Whisperer. Whisper is a member of a species who were native to the planet. He has the ability to speak to Decker and soon finds out that he can communicate telepathically more easily with Tennyson than with Decker.
Decker tells Tennyson that he | 6,137,402 |
54001558 | Project Pope | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Project%20Pope | Project Pope
thinks he knows where Mary's heaven is. Meanwhile, Decker is murdered by one of the theological faction robots in order to keep its location secret. Tennyson Jill and Whisperer discover the location of Mary’s heaven from the equation people, aliens from another dimension. They met several unique and strange aliens, including a triad of aliens consisting of a haystack with 13 eyes, a bubble named Smokey and octopus-like creature in constant Motion nicknamed Plopper. To their surprise, they also meet Decker or rather a duplicate of him. Mary's heaven turns out to be a type of center for galactic studies that collects physical samples of life forms from all over the galaxy. Tennyson and the others | 6,137,403 |
54001558 | Project Pope | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Project%20Pope | Project Pope
struggle to get back to Vatican with proof that Mary’s heaven is this galactic library, not the real heaven.
The group is transported back to the End of Nothing, including the triad of aliens, thus providing proof that Mary’s heaven is not the real heaven. The Cardinals in the Vatican accept this evidence and the Search Program is restored.

# Themes.
Simak was haunted by what he thought would be his final statement (he died seven years later). This novel reflects his search for "the Principle", the key to understanding the universe. This novel examines the dichotomy between faith and rationality.
# Reception.
In general, the novel was well received and is considered among Simak’s | 6,137,405 |
54001558 | Project Pope | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Project%20Pope | Project Pope
masterpieces.
In his review in "Analog Science Fiction and Fact", Easton recommends the novel. He highlights Simak’s friendly and pastoral style saying, “[e]ven when his themes are cosmic, he renders them in terms of the day to day.” However, he criticizes Simak for his “curious use of robots”. “The robots might as well be laid-back flesh and blood.”

Whitfield Cowles House
The Whitfield Cowles House is a historic house at 118 Spoonville Road in East Granby, Connecticut. Built about 1785, it was home to one of the early innovators in the development of silver plating, and was (as of the 2010s) still owned by Cowles descendants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
# Description and history.
The Whitfield Cowles House is located in a rural-residential area of southern East Granby, on the north side of Spoonville Road just east of its junction with South Main Street (Connecticut Route 187). It is set facing south on a short stub of an abandoned colonial-era roadway, near the southern edge of a mainly wooded parcel. | 6,137,408 |
54001639 | Whitfield Cowles House | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Whitfield%20Cowles%20House | Whitfield Cowles House
It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, end chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. Its most prominent feature is a two-story Colonial Revival portico, which extends across the center three bays. It has four fluted Doric columns, which rise to a narrow frieze and dentillated cornice. A balcony, partially supported by the central two columns is set under the portico and over the main entrance. The entry is like the portico an early 20th-century alteration, with flanking sidelight windows. The interior follows a central hall plan, with a single-run staircase. The interior decoration is a mix of Colonial Revival and Georgian-Federal late 18th century elements.
The house | 6,137,409 |
54001639 | Whitfield Cowles House | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Whitfield%20Cowles%20House | Whitfield Cowles House
was built about 1785, probably by Joseph Griswold Jr., who sold the house and to Reverend Whitfield Cowles in 1802. Cowles did not receive adequate financial support from his congregation, and eventually turned to other business endeavours to supplement his ministerial pay. He was dismissed from his position over political differences in 1808, and devoted himself entirely to business. With partners, he established a nearly complete textile operation, and also produced carding equipment and other tools. A major initiative of his was the establishment of a wire factory not far from his home. He soon began experimenting with electroplating silver, a pursuit his son William developed after he died. | 6,137,410 |

home. He soon began experimenting with electroplating silver, a pursuit his son William developed after he died. He partnered with silversmiths based in Hartford for the manufacture of silver-plated spoons, eventually expanding to a wide array of domestic silverware. By the mid-1840s Cowles was shipping his products as far off as South Carolina. However, the business was laden with debt, and eventually failed. Some of Cowles' partners and employees went on to more successful development of the technology, leading Connecticut to become a center of silver-plate manufacturing by the late 19th century.

Zimbabwean bond notes
Zimbabwean bond notes are a form of banknote in circulation in Zimbabwe. Released by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe the notes are stated to not be a currency in itself but rather legal tender near money pegged equally against the U.S. dollar. In 2014 prior to the release of bond notes a series of bond coins entered circulation.
# History.
In November 2016, backed by a US$200 million African Export-Import Bank loan, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe began issuing $2 bond notes. Two months later, US$15 million worth of new five-dollar bond notes were also released. Further plans for $10 and $20 bond notes were ruled out by the Reserve Bank's governor John Mangudya.
The notes | 6,137,415 |
54001677 | Zimbabwean bond notes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zimbabwean%20bond%20notes | Zimbabwean bond notes
were not generally accepted by the Zimbabwean people, so the government tried expanding the electronic money supply and issuing Treasury bills instead.
The bond notes were still in circulation in 2018, although former Finance Minister Tendai Biti said that they should be demonetised, as they were being subject to arbitrage. In the campaigning for the 2018 elections, the bond notes became a political issue, with the MDC Alliance calling for their replacement with 'real cash'.
Despite the notes being notionally pegged to the US dollar, their value, like the former Zimbabwean dollar, has collapsed, with everyday transactions using a rate of $3 in bond notes to 1 US dollar as of January 2019.

54001622 | Minar (Firuzabad) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minar%20(Firuzabad) | Minar (Firuzabad)
Minar (Firuzabad)
The Minar (, literally "pillar") or Minaret (), recorded in medieval Arabic-language Islamic sources as Terbal ( "Ṭirbāl"), was a unique, spiral, tower-like structure built in the centre of the Sassanian circular city of Gōr (modern Firuzabad, Iran). Several theories have been proposed for its purpose. Only the core of the structure remains today.
# Description and history.
Ardashir I's new city of Gor had a circular plan with the official buildings located at the centre of an inner circle in radius. The tower-like structure of Terbal was located at the very centre of this circle. Together with Takht-e Neshin, these are the only structures of the city that are made of granite-mortar-masonry. | 6,137,420 |
54001622 | Minar (Firuzabad) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minar%20(Firuzabad) | Minar (Firuzabad)
According to "Iranica", these two structures may have been confused in medieval Islamic sources, and it is unclear that the names "Aywān kiyākhurra" () (Istakhri), "Gunbad-i Kīrmān" (or "Gīrmān"; ) and "Īrān Garda/Girda" () (Ibn al-Balkhi) mentioned in these sources refer to which structure. Terbal was a square structure with more than high and spiral in design. It was the core of a stair-tower, and was compared by Ibn Hawqal to a similar edifice at Balkh (a reference to a Buddhist stupa, or possibly a ziggurat). With the width of the destroyed stairs and outer walls added, its actual width is estimated to be about . The remaining structure is hollow, according to the Qajar period writer Forsat-od-Dowleh | 6,137,421 |
54001622 | Minar (Firuzabad) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minar%20(Firuzabad) | Minar (Firuzabad)
Shirazi.
# Purpose.
Among Western orientalists and travellers, the structure was first observed by Eugène Flandin and Pascal Coste, who noted its uniqueness in Iranian architecture. Prior to Ernst Herzfeld studies of the structure, Terbal was mistakenly thought to be a descendant of the ziggurat, while some thought it is a fire temple, with the Holy Fire ("atar") being put at its top to avoid contamination with dust.
It is hypothesised that the structure may have been part of a government building and symbolised the divine and centralist kingship introduced by Ardashir I. It may have had practical military and civil uses as well, as the tower provided visual contact with some fortifications | 6,137,422 |
54001622 | Minar (Firuzabad) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minar%20(Firuzabad) | Minar (Firuzabad)
in the area, and/or may have been used as an observation tower to survey activities during the implementation of the planned scheme of the new city of Gor and the plain. In fact, this grand scheme was centred in Terbal and continued the concentric and radiant pattern of the town, with traces of canals, paths, walls and field borders found up to 10 km distance from this central tower.
According to a newer study, the structure, as also described in medieval sources, may have functioned as a water tower, in such a way that water from nearby elevated sources would flow through tubes and Terbal's hollow core towards its dome, and from there it would be flowed to another tube to flow elsewhere in | 6,137,423 |
54001622 | Minar (Firuzabad) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minar%20(Firuzabad) | Minar (Firuzabad)
flowed to another tube to flow elsewhere in the town. It is argued that it was not the only purpose of the structure, but it was also part of a temple dedicated to Anahita, the divinity of the Waters ("Aban").
# Influence.
It is thought that the Terbal was the architectural predecessor of the unique minaret of Great Mosque of Samarra (also known as the "malwiya") in Iraq, which was built in the Abbasid period. The minaret itself inspired that of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo, and recently Philip Johnson's design for the 1976 Chapel of Thanksgiving at Thanks-Giving Square in Dallas, Texas.

# Synthesis and reactions.
It is obtained by chlorination of tetrasulfur tetranitride:
At 100 ºC in vacuum, thiazyl chloride trimer undergoes cracking to thiazyl chloride monomer, which is a green gas.
In NSCl, chloride is bonded to the chalcogen, in contrast to nitrosyl chloride with an N-Cl bond. In contrast, with six fewer electrons, cyanuric chloride is a planar ring.
It reacts with nitriles to dithiadiazolium chlorides:

Drug distribution
Drug distribution is the process by means of which people get access to medication.
# Logistics.
Drug distribution has special safety considerations.
Some drugs require cold chain management in their distribution.
The industry uses track and trace technology though the timings for implementation and the information required in local national laws and standards.
# Regulation.
Because governments regulate access to drugs, governments control drug distribution and the drug supply chain more than trade for other goods. Distribution begins with the pharmaceutical industry manufacturing drugs. From there, intermediaries in the public sector, private sector, and non-governmental | 6,137,468 |
54001845 | Drug distribution | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drug%20distribution | Drug distribution
organizations acquire drugs to provide them to other intermediaries. Eventually, the drugs reach different classes of consumers who use them.
Good distribution practice (GDP) is a quality warranty system, which includes requirements for purchase, receiving, storage and export of drugs intended for human consumption. It regulates the division and movement of pharmaceutical products from the premises of the manufacturer of medicinal products, or another central point, to the end user thereof, or to an intermediate point by means of various transport methods, via various storage and/or health establishments.
## Argentina.
In 2011, Argentina introduced a catalogue of drugs covered but its national | 6,137,469 |
54001845 | Drug distribution | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drug%20distribution | Drug distribution
drug traceability scheme, listing more than 3,000 drugs that require the placing of unique serial numbers and tamper-evident features on the secondary packaging. The drugs listed are recorded in real time in a central database managed by the National Administration of Drugs, Foods, Medical Devices of Argentina (ANMAT), Regulation 3683, which uses Global Location Numbers (GLNs) to identify the various actors in the supply chain. The purpose of this program is to actively limit the use of illegal drugs.
## Brazil.
The 2009 Brazilian Federal Law 11.903 and subsequent regulations of the National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance in Brazil (ANVISA) require that a 2D data matrix code be put on all | 6,137,470 |
54001845 | Drug distribution | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drug%20distribution | Drug distribution
secondary packaging. Under these provisions, manufacturers will be required to maintain a database of all transactions from manufacturing to dispensing, while distributors must report serialized transaction data to the manufacturer and keep a database of suppliers, medicine recipients, and packing companies.
Data Element – National Number, Expiration Date, Batch/Lot Number, Serial Number
## China.
In 2008, China’s State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) made serialization mandatory for over 275 therapeutic classes of individual saleable product units by December 2015. The CFDA does not follow an international standard. Manufacturers may only register their products and obtain their serial | 6,137,471 |
54001845 | Drug distribution | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drug%20distribution | Drug distribution
numbers by applying to the China Product Identification, Authentication and Tracking System (PIATS). They must also implement a quality control system with an electronic drug-monitoring system, a standardized documentation system, and bar codes to ensure pharmaceutical traceability. Companies importing drugs into China must designate a local pharmaceutical company or wholesaler as their electronic monitoring agent in the country.
In addition to legislative reforms, China has increased enforcement efforts at the provincial and local levels. In 2013, the Chinese government coordinated joint special enforcement campaigns targeting counterfeit drugs.. China regulations are currently on hold.

Europe.
In Europe GDP is based on the Commission Directive (EU) 2017/1572 of 15 September 2017 supplementing Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the principles and guidelines of good manufacturing practice for medicinal products for human use.
In 2016, the European Medicines Agency adopted the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD), which requires all pharmaceutical products sold in the EU to feature obligatory “safety features.” This directive is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2019. By February 9, 2019, all pharmaceutical companies will be required to connect their internal systems to the EU data repository, which contains the product master | 6,137,473 |
54001845 | Drug distribution | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drug%20distribution | Drug distribution
data and batch information. This will allow pharmacists and consumers to authenticate their medicines.
## United States.
In the US GMP is based on the Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR 210/211, and USP 1079.
The US Drug Supply and Chain Security Act (DQSA), was enacted by Congress on November 26, 2013 and outlines requirements to build electronic systems that identify and trace prescription drugs distributed in the US. By November 27th 2023, full electronic track & trace capability will be required for all partners in the supply chain.
# Illegal drugs.
An illegal drug trade operates to distribute illegal drugs. The trade of illegal drugs overlaps with trade in contraband of all sorts. | 6,137,474 |
54001845 | Drug distribution | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drug%20distribution | Drug distribution
Illegal drug distribution does not overlap in obvious ways with the legal trade of legal drugs.

James Messeas
James Messeas (1880 or 1881 – 1955) was a Dutch cellist, member of Verbrugghen String Quartet.
Messeas was born in Amsterdam. His parents were Spanish, the father being the principal double bass in the Paleis voor Volksvlijt Orchestra (Amsterdam). His uncle was violinist in Paris under Hector Berlioz. Both the father and the uncle provided the young Messeas with his initial musical training. In 1890, after studying the cello for only 12 months, he made a public recital of Julius Klengel's Concertino No. 1, Op. 7. The following year the boy went to Scotland. There he met Willy Benda, who gave him a scholarship at the Athenaeum School of Music. He later returned to Germany to finish | 6,137,482 |
54001849 | James Messeas | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James%20Messeas | James Messeas
his studies with Klengel.
In 1902 Messeas came back to Athenaeum and became a professor. He soon joined Henri Verbrugghen's String quartet and became the principal cellist of the Harrogate Symphony Orchestra. In 1915 together with the other members of the quartet he came to Australia, where he got professorship at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music.
In summer 1918 he was the first cellist to give a performance of the complete cycle of Beethoven and Mendelssohn cello sonatas in Sydney (with Myrtle Meggy at the piano).
In early 1920s the whole quartet moved further to Minneapolis. Messeas died in 1955 in that city.

Mira Ricardel
Mira Radielovic Ricardel, formerly Mira Baratta (born July 5, 1960), is an American government official who served as Deputy National Security Advisor from May 2018 to November 2018, until being fired at the request of First Lady Melania Trump.
Earlier in the Trump administration, Ricardel served as a Special Assistant to the President and Associate Director in the Office of Presidential Personnel, and Under Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration. In years prior to that, she served as a foreign policy advisor to U.S. Senator Bob Dole and held positions in the U.S. Department of Defense during the Presidency of George W. Bush.
# Early life and education.
Born Mira P. | 6,137,485 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
Radielovic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she is of Croatian descent. Her father, Peter Radielovich, came from Breza, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was 16 years old when he survived the Bleiburg repatriations. After briefly attending Zagreb University, he left Yugoslavia in 1954. After two years in Heidelberg, where he met and married his wife, he arrived in the United States in 1956.
Mira grew up in Pasadena, California, and at home spoke the Croatian language. Her family followed the Croatian Catholic Church and worshipped in Arcadia, California.
Ricardel received her Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, graduating in 1982. While at Georgetown, she was a member | 6,137,486 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
of the Delta Phi Epsilon professional foreign service sorority.
She then did doctoral coursework at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, but did not complete her degree. While at the Fletcher School, she met Robert Baratta, who has been involved in aspects of Virginia politics and the federal government. They married and she became known as Mira Baratta.
# Career.
Politically, Ricardel has characterized herself as a "Reagan Republican". Her public service began in 1986, working as a congressional affairs specialist and later as a deputy director for congressional affairs in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency at the U.S. Department of State. She served at the | 6,137,487 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
State Department until 1989.
## Aide to Dole.
From 1989 to 1996, Mira worked as a legislative assistant to Senate Republican leader Bob Dole, drafting legislation and specializing in foreign affairs and defense policy. She made appearances in public, and her work with Dole earned her a portrayal in the nationally-circulated "Weekly Standard" in 1995. During the Bosnian War between 1992 and 1995, her personal knowledge of the languages and cultures involved was credited with improving Senator Dole's understanding of the conflict. As one official said, "She knows the issues, so he knows the issues."
Baratta's Croatian heritage brought forth accusations that she was influencing Dole to take | 6,137,488 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
an anti-Serbian policy stance. But in fact Dole had a long record of warning about the actions and character of Serbia leader Slobodan Milosevic. Baratta said of Dole in 1999, "He's been out there for a decade saying we need to get involved. And no one's been paying attention. Or they pay attention for a while and manage the problem, but they don't solve it."
Baratta then served as an advisor on defense and foreign policy on Dole's 1996 presidential campaign, when he achieved the Republican nomination but lost the general election to Bill Clinton.
## Interlude.
Mira served as a vice president for programming with the nonprofit organization Freedom House from 1997 to 1998 and as an independent | 6,137,489 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
consultant from 1998 to 2000. During some of this time she lived in New York City and was a close neighbor of Monica Lewinsky.
## George W. Bush administration.
From 2001 to 2003, she was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs for Eurasia and was responsible for coalition building between the U.S. and governments in the Caucasus, Central Asian, and Balkans regions. She received the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service on July 14, 2005.
After her marriage to Robert Baratta ended, she married Vincent Ricardel, a photographer. She became known as Mira Ricardel.
From 2003 to 2005, Ricardel was the acting Assistant Secretary of Defense | 6,137,490 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
for International Security Affairs. She was the primary adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Defense regarding Europe, Eurasia, NATO, nuclear forces, missile defense, and arms control.
In the words of "The Washington Post", "She developed a reputation as a Russia hawk and was seen as a tough bureaucratic player with a strong personality". One former colleague later said, "She’s a very tough woman, very smart, does not suffer fools well. And if you happen to be the fool, she will let you know".
## Private sector.
After leaving the Defense Department, Ricardel spent one year as Vice President of International Business Development for Teachscape, a company that creates educational training and support.
From | 6,137,491 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
2006 to 2015, Ricardel was employed by the Boeing Company as Vice President, Strategic Missile & Defense Systems, as well as Vice President of International Business Development, Network and Space Systems. During her time with Boeing she was a resident of Alexandria, Virginia.
In 2015, Ricardel joined Federal Budget IQ as a consultant. Despite the orientation of its work, that of an involved governmental research firm, she was not considered a registered lobbyist.
## Donald Trump administration.
### Transition.
Ricardel was part of Donald Trump's presidential transition team as a Department of Defense advisor.
She was looked at for positions in the new administration in the Defense and | 6,137,492 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
State Departments, but was twice blocked based upon past bureaucratic run-ins, in the first instance by Secretary of Defense James Mattis and in the second by Department of State Chief of Staff Margaret Peterlin. Ricardel had blocked some nominees wanted by Mattis because of potential Democratic ties or having supported Hillary Clinton in the past, instead preferring "Republican loyalists."
### Under Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration.
On March 30, 2017, President Trump announced his intent to nominate Ricardel for Under Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration in the U.S. Department of Commerce. On April 28, 2017, Ricardel's nomination was received in the Senate and referred | 6,137,493 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The committee approved her nomination and she was confirmed by the entire U.S Senate on August 3, 2017.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross made a statement in support of Ricardel's actions in the position: "Since coming on board, she has helped keep sensitive technologies out of the hands of those who would do us harm, while also working to ensure that imports do not threaten to impair our national security."
### Deputy National Security Advisor.
On April 23, 2018, she was named as the next Deputy National Security Advisor by the new National Security Advisor, John R. Bolton. The position did not require Senate confirmation and she took | 6,137,494 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
office in the month of May.
One of her first actions was to push for the elimination of the position of White House cybersecurity chief, which took place on May 15, 2018. White House officials quoted Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 70 in defending the move, which was criticized by many within the cybersecurity community.
In July 2018 reported difficulties between Ricardel and NSC staffer Jennifer Arangio was one of the factors that led to Arangio's dismissal. Despite past conflicts, the White House said that Ricardel was working effectively with the Mattis-led Defense Department. However, subsequent reports in September 2018 indicated that the Mattis-Ricardel embattlement was still in | 6,137,495 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
place, while other reports held that the supposed conflict between the two had been overblown. She continued to be portrayed in the media as a tough bureaucratic opponent.
On November 13, 2018, First Lady Melania Trump publicly called for Ricardel's firing, an unusual move. The unpleasantries between them reportedly originated with a dispute over personnel presence on the plane for the First Lady's visit to Africa, and subsequent alleged negative leaking on the part of Ricardel against the First Lady. Bolton still supported Ricardel, but it was not enough, as by this point, few other officials supported her. Bloomberg News reported that Ricardel "had caused friction" and was "widely disliked | 6,137,496 |
54001800 | Mira Ricardel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mira%20Ricardel | Mira Ricardel
among other White House staff," while "Politico", quoting anonymous administration officials, gave a similar assessment. The following day, the White House announced Ricardel would leave her position and "transition to a new role" in the administration. In a public statement Ricardel said it had been "an honor" to serve in the White House.
Ricardel has reportedly been offered nearly a dozen other positions within the Trump administration, including the post of United States Ambassador to Estonia, which she refused. Notwithstanding this report, by a half year later, Ricardel had no new position.
