Family Of US Citizen Detained In Russia Says He's Innocent Watch VideoThe family of an American citizen detained in Russia on suspicion of spying says he's innocent.

Paul Whelan's twin brother told several media outlets the retired U.S. Marine was in the country for a friend's wedding. And his family says they're worried for his safety and wellbeing.

"He has a background in law enforcement, he was a Marine, he does corporate security, and he travels regularly. So he's not the sort of person who would stumble into a strange environment or make poor choices that could cause him risks," David Whelan told CNN.

According to Russia's Federal Security Service, authorities arrested Whelan while he was "carrying out an act of espionage" in Moscow.

The agency said it opened a criminal case under Article 276 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which is espionage, but hasn't said what specifically Whelan is accused of doing.

A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department told CNN the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs "formally notified" the U.S. of Whelan's arrest but didn't elaborate on the details.

Russia's state-run news agency TASS says Whelan could face between 10 and 20 years behind bars, if he's found guilty.

KEMP, Texas, Jan. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics LLC, a leader of industrial lighting, released a portable power distribution substation that includes two transformers, giving operators the flexibility to convert 400V AC three phase electrical current into three phase 480V AC and to convert single phase 230V AC into 120V AC.The MPD-20C-1X400-15KVA-1X230-5KVA-3XL16-20R-3XL5-30R portable power distribution system gives operators the ability to power their 480 and 120 Volt equipment from a single station.

The first NEMA 3R 5KVA transformer uses a 20` #10 Type SOOW line-in cord to bring 230V single phase power to the NEMA 3R 30-amp 250V single phase primary disconnect. This disconnect contains two 30-amp time delay fuses. The transformer then converts 230V 50/60 Hz single phase power to 120V 50/60 Hz single phase and passes the current to the secondary disconnect. The secondary side of this transformer feeds a NEMA 3R 30-amp 250V single phase disconnect containing two 30-amp time delay fuses. These fuses protect three 30-amp 125V L5-30R receptacles.

The second NEMA 3R 15KVA transformer also uses a 20` #10 Type SOOW line-in cord to bring 400V three phase power to the NEMA 3R 30-amp 480V three phase primary disconnect. This disconnect contains three 30-amp time delay fuses. The transformer then converts 400V 50/60 Hz three phase power to 480V 50/60 Hz three phase and passes the current to the secondary disconnect. The secondary side of this transformer feeds a NEMA 3R 30-amp 480V three phase disconnect. The disconnect contains two 20-amp time delay fuses protecting three 20-amp 480V L16-20R receptacles.

The MPD-20C-1X400-15KVA-1X230-5KVA-3XL16-20R-3XL5-30R double power distribution substation is mounted to a carbon steel platform with forklift skid pockets, locking casters and top located eyelet for easy lifting and transportation. The unit is ruggedly constructed to withstand tough working environments during operational use and all receptacles are equipped with weatherproof covers. The unit is compliant with the NFPA 70 National Electric code, certified to UL 1640 and has a NEMA 3R rating that provides protection against dirt and water in open or confined spaces. 

“This dual portable power distribution system is a very reliable option for remote or temporary worksites where external power sources are needed for equipment,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “This innovative transformer gives operators the flexibility to power a variety of equipment with one system.”

Trump rants about the government shutdown, stock market 'glitches,' Tom Cruise, and more during wild Cabinet meeting

Trump rants about the government shutdown, stock market 'glitches,' Tom Cruise, and more during wild Cabinet meeting· President Donald Trump held a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
· He spoke with the press for roughly an hour-and-a-half during the meeting.
· Trump hit on topics including the government shutdown, border wall, Sen. Mitt Romney, the military withdrawal from Syria, former Defense Secretary James Mattis, the stock market, and more.

President Donald Trump kicked off 2019 with a wild, scattershot Cabinet meeting Wednesday that hit on topics ranging from funding the long-promised wall on the US-Mexico broader to the similarities between US generals and Tom Cruise.

During the roughly hour-and-a-half long meeting in the White House, Trump took questions from reporters after a relatively quiet holiday break.

The president weighed in on a variety of topics, including:

· *The government shutdown*: Trump said the government should stay shut down until Democrats acquiesce to his demands for more than $5 billion in border wall funding. The shutdown is now in its 12th day, and congressional leaders are set to meet with Trump on Wednesday.
· *His Christmas plans*: The president also complained that the shutdown forced him to stay at the White House over Christmas. "I was here on Christmas evening, I was all by myself in the White House," he said. "That's a big, big house. Except for all the guys out on the lawn with machine guns. I was waving to them. I never saw so many guys with machine guns in my life." First lady Melania Trump flew back to the White House to spend Christmas with her husband.
· *The decision to pull troops out of Syria*: Trump declined to give a timetable for the withdrawal of troops form Syria, but reiterated his decision to do so. "So Syria was lost long ago. It was lost long ago. Besides that, we're talking about sand and death," Trump said. "That's what we're talking about. We're not talking about vast wealth, we're talking about sand and death."
· *The stock market*: Trump dismissed the stock market's terrible December, blaming the historic monthly drop on a "little glitch." The president also predicted that stocks once head higher once the US negotiates updates to a variety of trade deals.
· *The departure of former Secretary of Defense James Mattis*:

· *Trump criticized Mattis*, the recently departed secretary of defense, complaining about the former Marine Corps general's handling of Afghanistan. "What's he done for me? How had he done in Afghanistan? Not too good," Trump said.
· *The president also claimed he "essentially" fired Mattis*, contradicting White House assertions that the defense secretary stepped down. Mattis disagreed with Trump's decisions to withdrawal troops from Syria and Afghanistan.

· *Mitt Romney's op-ed*: Trump hit back at incoming Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who criticized the president in an op-ed for the Washington Post on Tuesday. "I don't know if he's going to become a team player. I hope he does. If he does, it will be better for him I think people are upset with what he did," Trump said. "He's not even in office yet, he's not gotten to office. He was very happy when I endorsed him. So you know, I don't know what changed."
· *The similarities of US generals to Tom Cruise*: While addressing the topic of Iran's influence in the Middle East, Trump favorably compared US military leaders to movie star Tom Cruise. "When I became president, I had a meeting at the Pentagon with lots of generals," Trump said. "They were like from a movie, better looking than Tom Cruise — and stronger."
