I will try to fix these issue as soon as possible. Community & Test Join the google+ community TellMeTheTime: and become a beta tester, by following this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/TellMeTheTime.App. The settings button is so hard to find and small. I have really big fingers. Plus I work outside in the sun which made it more hard to see. There should actually be a settings button on top center that says 'SETUP' or 'SETTINGS'.
Make it optional on where that button is on screen too. I'll update this for more stars once that's fixed. Also, make it easier to send you comment via a link to your email that would launch our email app. If it's already there, then you'll need to make it more obvious for us simple users.
Great app, Well done guys, a must have! Nice and smooth design and crafted piece of development! But hey, So the app announcement needs to be registered as alarm to ensure the system wouldn't kill it. Then the only way to keep it quiet during night is to leave the ring mode on silent and set the phone on silent? Then the alarm takes priority during silent mode and the app keeps announcing till morning? And if I take out the alarm priority then the real alarm doesn't go off in the morning! Couldn't you just leave a snooze period option for said 11pm till 6am?
The hacking of state and local election databases in 2016 was more extensive than previously reported, including at least one successful attempt to alter voter information, and the theft of thousands of voter records that contain private information like partial Social Security numbers, current and former officials tell TIME. In one case, investigators found there had been a manipulation of voter data in a county database but the alterations were discovered and rectified, two sources familiar with the matter tell TIME. Investigators have not identified whether the hackers in that case were Russian agents.
The fact that private data was stolen from states is separately providing investigators a previously unreported line of inquiry in the probes into Russian attempts to influence the election. In Illinois, more than 90% of the nearly 90,000 records stolen by Russian state actors contained drivers license numbers, and a quarter contained the last four digits of voters’ Social Security numbers, according to Ken Menzel, the General Counsel of the.
Congressional investigators are probing whether any of this stolen private information made its way to the Trump campaign, two sources familiar with the investigations tell TIME. “If any campaign, Trump or otherwise, used inappropriate data the questions are, How did they get it? And with what level of knowledge?” the former top Democratic staffer on the, Michael Bahar, tells TIME. “That is a crux of the investigation.” Spokesmen for the House and committees declined to comment on the search for stolen data.
No one contacted for this story said they had seen evidence that the stolen, private, data had actually made its way to the Trump campaign. The House Intelligence Committee plans to seek testimony this summer from Brad Parscale, the, CNN reported last week.
Hill investigators in February asked the White House and law enforcement agencies to relating to contacts between the Trump administration, transition team and campaign had with the Russians had been preserved. Parscale did not return messages requesting comment for this story. Trump’s press secretary,, referred questions regarding the investigations to Trump’s legal team, which did not respond to requests for comment. Both intelligence committees are looking at whether and how the intrusions could have furthered Russia’s larger strategic goals of undermining U.S.
Democracy, hurting Hillary Clinton and helping Donald Trump. During the run up to the vote, Obama Administration cyber-security officials took steps to prepare for, fearing Russia might seek to cause chaos at polling places to undermine the credibility of the election. Current and former law enforcement and intelligence officials say Russia could also have tried to use stolen voter data to gain leverage over witting or unwitting accomplices in the Trump camp, by involving them in a broader conspiracy. The House and Senate Intelligence committees held hearings on June 22 to highlight the ongoing vulnerability of the U.S.
Election systems. “I’m deeply concerned,” said North Carolina Republican Senator Richard Burr who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, that “we could be here in two or four years talking about a much worse crisis.”. Cyber-security officials testifying at the Senate hearing acknowledged for the first time the extent of the Russian effort to interfere with the election. Twenty-one states saw such intrusions last year, a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security, Jeanette Manfra, said. None of the intrusions affected the vote count itself, all the officials testified.
That has not reassured some Hill leaders. “There’s no evidence they were able to affect the counting within the machines,” says the top Democrat on the House Intelligence committee, Congressman Adam Schiff of California. But, he added, “the effect on the election is quite a different matter.” The Russian efforts against state and local databases were so widespread that top Obama administration cyber-security officials assumed that by Election Day Moscow’s agents had probed all 50 states. “At first it was one state, then three, then five, then a dozen,” says Anthony Ferrante, a former FBI cybersecurity official and member of the White House team charged with preparedness and response to the cyber intrusion. At that point, says Michael Daniel, who led the White House effort to secure the vote against the Russian intrusions, “We had to assume that they actually tried to at least rattle the doorknobs on all 50, and we just happened to find them in a few of them.”. Many hackers, including state-sponsored ones, use automated programs to target hundreds or even thousands of computers to check for vulnerabilities. But confirming intrusions is hard.
As far as officials have been able to determine, the number of actual successful intrusions, where Russian agents gained sufficient access to attempt to alter, delete or download any information, was “less than a dozen,” current and former officials say. But that wasn’t the only worry. “In addition to the threat to the vote we were also very concerned about the public confidence in the integrity of the electoral system,” says Ferrante. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether any laws were broken in relation to the Russian attack.
The Congressional intelligence probes also seek to determine the nature and scope of the Russian espionage operation in order to protect future elections. “The integrity of the entire system is in question,” says Bahar, “So you need the system to push back and find out what happened and why, so it never happens again.”.

Credit Gabriella Demczuk for The New York Times WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Tuesday officially abandoned the latest plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, shelving a showdown vote on the measure and effectively admitting defeat in their last-gasp drive to fulfill a core promise of President Trump and Republican lawmakers. The decision came less than 24 hours after a pivotal Republican senator, to the repeal proposal, all but ensuring that Republican leaders would be short of the votes they needed. “We haven’t given up on changing the American health care system,” Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, said after a lunchtime meeting of Republican senators. “We are not going to be able to do that this week, but it still lies ahead of us, and we haven’t given up on that.” Mr. McConnell said Republicans would move on to their next big legislative goal: overhauling the tax code, a feat that has not been accomplished since 1986. “We hope we can move forward and improve health care, not engage in another battle to take it away from people, because they will fail once again if they try,” said Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader.
The decision by Senate Republican leaders may prove to be a milestone in the decades-long fight over health insurance in the United States, suggesting that the Affordable Care Act had gained at least a reprieve and perhaps a measure of political acceptance. Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee and the chairman of the Senate health committee, and Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the senior Democrat on the panel, have been working on legislation to stabilize insurance markets and hold down premiums in the next couple of years. Both said on Tuesday that they hoped to resume those efforts. Millions of people who buy insurance on their own face sharp increases in premiums next year, and Trump administration officials have taken a that have already undermined the operations of the health law. And health care is sure to be an issue in next year’s midterm elections.
Senator John Thune of South Dakota, a member of the Senate Republican leadership, said the concept behind the Graham-Cassidy bill would help Republicans define their differences with Democrats in the campaign season. “Single payer, socialism — or federalism, returning power to the states to make decisions,” Mr.
“I think that’s a great contrast for us, and I think that’s an argument eventually we can win.” For their part, Democrats have tried to use health care as a bludgeon against the few Senate Republican targets they have next year, mainly Senators Dean Heller of Nevada and Jeff Flake of Arizona. Advertisement “We know Republicans like Dean Heller and Jeff Flake won’t stop until they force Americans to pay more for less, and we will make sure voters hold them accountable for it,” the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said in a statement this week. The Graham-Cassidy bill would have taken money provided under the Affordable Care Act for insurance subsidies and the expansion of Medicaid and sent it to states in the form of block grants.
The bill’s demise was welcomed by consumer groups, doctors, hospitals and insurance executives who mobilized opposition to the proposal. The said Monday that the bill would have reduced projected federal Medicaid spending by $1 trillion over a decade, added millions of Americans to the ranks of the uninsured and eliminated consumer protections for some people with pre-existing conditions.
Senate Republicans tried in July to approve a repeal bill, but that attempt ended in defeat when, killing that version of the legislation. This time, Senate Republicans were trying to pass a different proposal, and a deadline was fast approaching: They had only until the end of this week to pass a repeal bill using special budget rules that shield it from a Democratic filibuster. McConnell had planned for a vote before that deadline, but he could afford to lose only two Republicans. By Tuesday, three members of his party had already gone public with their firm opposition: Ms.
McCain and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. None of the three senators seemed likely to change their minds. McCain detested the hasty, partisan process used to push the bill; Ms. Collins had broad concerns about the legislation’s effects on health care; and Mr. Paul objected to the fundamental architecture of the bill, which in his view constituted “fake repeal.” Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah and the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said he saw no reason for the Senate to vote.
Advertisement “If you don’t have the votes,” he said, “I don’t see why we would waste the time of the Senate.” And other Republican senators might have opposed it had party leaders moved forward. In a released after Senate Republicans decided not to do so, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who voted against the last repeal attempt in July, denounced what she described as “a lousy process.” “The U.S. Senate cannot get the text of a bill on a Sunday night, then proceed to a vote just days later, with only one hearing — and especially not on an issue that is intensely personal to all of us,” Ms. Murkowski said, without saying which way she would have voted. Cassidy was blunt: “We don’t have the votes,” he said, adding, “Am I disappointed? Absolutely.” And Senator David Perdue, Republican of Georgia, was left fuming.
“I am kind of disgusted that after nine months, the self-interest is still outweighing the national interest in our caucus in some ways,” he said. Graham still held out the hope that the repeal proposal would pass — just later, after Republicans tackle taxes, and when Republicans can consider the repeal plan in a more deliberative fashion.
“There are 50 votes for the substance,” Mr. “There are not 50 votes for the process.” But that could be months away — if not years. The tax effort will probably occupy Congress through the remainder of this year, and into next year. Advertisement After tackling the tax overhaul, Republicans could make another attempt at passing a health bill without needing any Democratic votes. But such an undertaking would require passing yet another budget blueprint, in order to protect the bill from a Democratic filibuster, and it would put health care front and center as lawmakers head into the midterm elections. Even as Republicans shift their focus to taxes, pressure is building for a bipartisan response to the problems of the health care system.
The Alexander-Murray stabilization package has two main elements: money for subsidies paid to insurance companies, to reimburse them for reducing out-of-pocket costs for low-income people, and more freedom for states to revamp their insurance markets. Democrats see the cost-sharing subsidy payments as essential. But many Republicans, including Mr. Trump, have described them as a bailout for insurance companies that would prop up the Affordable Care Act. “I think most of the members would suggest they really don’t know that they can stabilize the product at this stage of the game,” said Senator Mike Rounds, Republican of South Dakota.
“I think there’s a number of them that are going to be very hesitant to try to put more money into a system that they are convinced is going south.” Earlier Tuesday, with little hope of success in the Senate, Mr. Trump expressed his displeasure. “At some point there will be a repeal and replace, but we’ll see whether or not that point is now or will it be shortly thereafter,” he said at the White House. “But we are disappointed in certain so-called Republicans.” The failure in the Senate was also a disappointment to Republicans in the House, who managed to after. “We’re a little frustrated that the Senate has not acted on a seminal promise,” said Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin. Then he returned to talking up the need for a tax overhaul.
