Thanks.

A: You can add another enclosing for loop.
for page_no in range(2, 17): # 2...16
    driver.find_element_by_link_text(str(page_no)).click()

    for n in range(1,rows+1):
        for m in range(1,cols+1):
            final_path = (first+str(n)+second+str(m) + last)
            table = driver.find_element_by_xpath(final_path).text
            print(table, end= " ")
        print()

On using [and preferably not] the term "Jappy"
Over this weekend I was taken aback when a smart, sharp, funny, sassy [in the best sense of the word] Jewish woman used the term Jappy. My friend Miriam was commenting on a TV character and dismissed her as "Jappy, Jappy, Jappy." [She also tends to be emphatic, a characteristic with which I admit to being somewhat familiar.]
Miriam is someone whose Jewish identity is integral to who she is. It's not something she takes on and off at will. More importantly, she delights in being a member of this particular "tribe."
I will cut her some slack and say she may be too young to remember when the term was used by comedians, journalists, and just about everyone at will. I am not sure. But the fact is that it is deeply antisemitic and unequivocally misogynist.
"The Jap" is a stereotype of someone who has all the attributes an antisemite would associate with Jews: loves money and material comfort and will do anything to anyone to further her own needs even if it means causing others pain and problems. She is rich, narcissistic, self-centered, a "user" of people, and generally a pretty disgusting person.
This stereotyping of a Jewish woman would not make sense if those who spread it did not have 1000s of years of antisemitic stereotypes on which to rely.
Furthermore the term is ONLY associated with women, as if to say it is Jewish women who have raised these disgusting attributes to an art, oppressing not just non-Jews but also the Jewish men in their orbit.
I am sure there will be those who will tell me it was spread and nurtured by Jewish comedians. How then, they will probably ask, could it be antisemitic? The answer is that just because a negative stereotype originates with a member of the group under attack does not mean it is not a stereotyping of the group.
Those who created and spread this version of the stereotype are the same generation of comedians and writers who nurtured the obnoxious image of the Jewish mother. While the Jewish mother, as they depicted her, was overbearing, intrusive, and disgusting, she had one redeeming social value. Unlike the "Jap," she focused her energies on making things better for others, her children particular. In contrast, the "Jap," who has all the same tendencies, is only interested in herself.
[I might point out that the stereotype of the Italian mother has all the same attributes of the Jewish mother. She, however,was and is depicted as an affirming, wonderful character.]
I wonder if the term would have ever gained traction if it did not also build on the contempt once extant in this country for people of Japanese descent. In other words the term was already one of contempt so it was easier to transfer it from one group which was an object of contempt to another group which is an object of contempt.
The fact is that there are lots of young spoiled, self-centered, materialistic people: some of them are men, some of them are women, some of them are Protestant, some of them are Catholics, some of them are White, some of them are Black, some Asian, and some of them are Jews.
Thanks to the too often maligned notion of "political correctness," we hear the term less frequently today. I hope Miriam -- and anyone else inclined to use the word -- will return it and keep it forever consigned to the one place it belongs: the dust bin of ugly prejudicial stereotypes.
Deborah, the human race is not a race of nice people and never was. They are argumentative, noisy, akin to wolves and hyenas and the stealers of other human animal's bones, partners, wives, goods and food. And you're worried about anti-Semitism and "Jappy people". The 'anti-Semite and the 'Jappy' person you describe is the norm and fully explainable. Can we get them to change?, it's highly unlikely. Thieves, fraudsters, anti-sems, Nazis and leopards never change their spots. Hanging the Nazis did no good and they still went to the gallows muttering 'Long Live Germany' and presumably its camps, hate and wickedness.

As my friend Deborah pointed out, I seem to be a smart, sharp, funny, sassy Jewish woman who inadvertently uses terms such as "Jappy". When I used the word, I was amongst my closest Jewish friends (big shout out to y'all) and used the word to harmlessly describe a TV actress. I do not think that anyone except for Deborah thought twice about the use of the word…..but, that's Deborah's field of study so clearly she is more sensitized to certain words than we are.
I did a little research on the subject (thank you Wikipedia) and I must say that based on Historical facts relating to both the Jewish and Japanese peoples this particular word, used in a certain context or with certain types of people, can reinforce negative stereotypes. I am going to agree with Deborah that using a word that I might think is cute or harmless, such as JAP, may really be spreading racism and anti-Semitism. I am also going to question and perhaps research "Where does it end? or "Can it ever end?" Why can't a person sit with her friends and speak freely without every word being analyzed and overanalyzed? Why can't we try to move past the negativity and just "chill out" and "get over it"???? Sometimes, I think that cultural sensitivity is the answer to hatred and sometimes I think people really just need to chill and stop being so sensitive.
I thank Deborah for pointing this out to me making me think about it…….and for not completely tearing me to shreds in her blog. I also thank her for working tirelessly to teach about the Holocaust and about racism. For now, until I can consider myself to be a scholar, I will think twice about the words I use and how I use them…..It is a slippery slope so better to be careful than slide into dangerous territory.
Dear Fairplay: We can't get the people who devise the evil to change. That is true. But we can get people who are sucked along and either play, what they consider to be, small insignificant roles [e.g. they sit in an office preparing train schedules].
And we can certainly alert bystanders to recognize the invidious nature of these stereotypes.
Dear Miriam:
Oh that was not a tearing to shreds. Read some of my blogs about other people and you will see what a true tearing to shreds constitutes.
I may have used a moment when you were in an environment in which people feel freer to make all sorts of cracks and jokes, [e.g. when African Americans will call one another the N-word when they are among themselves], to make a point.
But I think that even in those private moments it's not a good thing to do. It confirms in other's minds that it's acceptable behavior.
Glad you learned a thing or two and thanks for being a good sport... sassy person that you are!
Don't worry derogatory language about others is universal. In England we have:
A kike, A Jew, a Jew boy, a yid, a 5 to 2, a dirty Jew, or occasionally a 'little dirty Jew', a yappy [applied to both sexes, but when said of a Jewish male intends to mean a slag or low status person] A bolby and a yackney [org: Yiddish, both Jewish females who tend to gossip a great deal] We do not have Jappy, and the word Jap or Japs as dissapeared completely.
We need to remind ourselves that in 1945 when we were not over polite about such matters, that when they showed Pathe newsreels in the cinema's people stood on the seats and cheered when they showed the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki over and over again. The USA popularity was sky high and the Brits were delighted at what happened to the "Japs". So language patterns change and words come and go and dissapear. I myself hate the word Jew because I have never heard a non-Jewish person [a Goy or Shicksy] use it as a term of respect, you sort of cringe knowing full well whats going to come next.
I find this topic stimulating in the sense that it's got me thinking about colloquial language, dialects and informal speech patterns. The rules of free speech obviously mean we can say what we think in our own regional accents, using familar words we were all brought up with. But if we do so many of us are then victimised.
In England we have debates about Queens English, BBC English, and the dying out of all those wonderful old fashioned dialects and sayings you could hear on every corner. We need to bear in mind that all races are spoken about with humour, with sly digs and innuendo, and with a certain degree of malice, meaning are the English offended [I'm not] when a New York cop calls us a "limey", or others who know me call me an "untidy bas--ard". You know Jews are not the only one who are singled out, and who have their person verbally assaulted, or their gravestones smashed, meaning if it happens in a Christian graveyard its never repeorted, but if it happens in a Jewish cemetary it's big news and the TV cameras respond? Why?
Deborah, I'm a very strong admirer of your work, but on this issue I find myself dissenting. The desperate attempt to remove any and all words from our language which might possibly cause someone, somewhere a small amount of discomfort is the epitome of the 'politically correct idiocies' you claim to be so against. If you can come up with a better descriptor than 'Jewish Australian Princess' for the Gucci handbag toting, Prada shoe wearing, convertible BMW driving 19 year olds that populate my neighbourhood , then I'd love to hear it. If not, then perhaps you should take the often proffered advice of my (proudly) jappy sister and "build a bridge and get over it!"
Josh-
While I agree that PC can sometimes go overboard, in the case of words like Jap, Nigger, and a few others [not many] they are rooted in negative -- very much so -- images of the group. In both cases cited above they have been directly linked to physical harm to Jews and African Americans.
Your sister may be proud of being rich, owning lots of materical goods, etc. But is she proud of being kniving, mean, a user of the people in her lives, a taker not a giver, and a person who will happily hurt someone for her own good. If so, then she should proudly wear the term on her lapel.
J.Ro said...
Deborah, I was really interested by your mention of the origin of "JAP" as a racial slur against the Japanese in the WWII era, and its all-too-easy transference to Jews as a negative characterization. I wonder how many other terms are similarly transferred out of context - like the way "gyp" is so commonly used, that many people do not even recognize that it is a slur against gypsies. You could say the same about "that's so gay" or "retarded." These are often words that are not delivered with malicious intent, but their use and misuse perpetuate negative stereotypes. All it takes is a little self-awareness to stop using these terms so flippantly - no need for ultra-PC-paranoia. Or take the odd use of "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ" as an exclamation when in pain, fear, or shock. While to my knowledge, this is not a slur persay, I say it all the time and I don't understand why - I'm Jewish, afterall! Of course, this type of blasphemy is a cultural norm - but that's no excuse. After my wife questioned me on this usage, I try to be conscious of my word choices and try not to say things that I don't really mean or understand myself.
Dear J.Ro:
I think you have hit the nail on the head. However, there are some subtle differences, e.g. gyp. Most people have no idea where the term comes from or that it relates to Gypsies [Roma/Scinti]. However in the case of JAP, the term means: JEWISH American Princess, so both the religious/ethnic aspect of the terms and the gender one are right in it.
Thanks for your insightful comments.
Great humour is built around people falling over, looking like fools, getting hurt, and so are great jokes, putdowns and comedians scripts. Just look at all the great comedians, look at all the racist jokes they used, and the way we laughed, we then imitated them and passed it on. So maybe anti-sem jokes are mostly harmless, maybe we exaggerate the hate motive, maybe we need to blame Hitler and his gang of misfits for turning a 'no real harm was meant remark', into a source of discomfort and fear for some. Having said that I've just spent an hour with my dtr on the Yad Vashem site, searching the wifes family name Kosman, from Lithuania, and sadly they are there, they list Aron, Benjamin, Rebecca, Hinda, and Ruth, and so the joking stops and I'm in no mood for Irving, and Grand Wizards, or people who petrol bomb Baptist Churches. H stands for hate, not Holocaust.
Being English I have not heard the USA expression JAP, meaning Jewish American Princess, for that reason I mistakenly thought we were talking about Jap, as in Hirohito, Pearl Harbour, Knights of the Bushido, Bataan Death Marches and Iwo Jima etc. Apologies.
Fairplay:
There is a whole body of literature on the Jewish American Princess. Check it out. You will see how it is antisemitic in its essence.
Took your advice and did check it out, the first two www sites found were Wikipedia, the next made me want to *vomit*. So now its a social crime to want to improve your appearance, to have a touch of class, and to come from an hard working family. Real wealth is evidence of an indutrious life.

The day Kim Kardashian met Donald Trump
8:01pm May 31, 2018
Kim Kardashian West has met President Donald Trump at the White House as part of her campaign for prison reform.
The reality star has urged President Donald Trump to pardon Alice Marie Johnson, 63, who is serving a life sentence without parole for a non-violent drug offense.
Mr Trump tweeted a picture of the pair in the Oval Office saying "Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing".
In an interview with Mic, Kardashian West said she'd been moved by Johnson's story after seeing a video by the news outlet.
The reality star had actually supported Donald Trump's rival Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election. Picture: AP (AAP)

"I think that she really deserves a second chance at life," she told the website. "I'll do whatever it takes to get her out."
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star said she had been in touch with Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, over the case.
"I've been in communication with the White House and trying to bring her case to the president's desk and figure out how we can get her out," she said of Johnson, who has spent over two decades behind bars.
Mic interviewed Johnson from prison last year. Mic interviewed Johnson from prison last year. Picture: Mic (Supplied)
Kushner oversees the administration's push to overhaul the nation's prison system and help former inmates gain skills and more effectively make the transition back into society.
Before their meeting today, Kardashian West told Mic that if she had the chance to meet the president, she'd tell him: "I really do believe that she's going to really thrive outside of prison, and I would just urge him to please pardon her."
Mr Trump last week granted a rare posthumous pardon to boxing's first black heavyweight champion, clearing Jack Johnson's name more than 100 years after what many saw as his racially-charged conviction.
Kardashian has vowed to help Johnson get out of prison. Picture: Mic (Supplied)
The boxer's pardon had been championed by actor Sylvester Stallone, who brought the story to Mr Trump's attention in a spring phone call.
Mr Trump has issued just a handful of other pardons, including one for former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a staunch campaign supporter, one for Scooter Libby, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Dick Cheney, and one for a US Navy sailor convicted for taking photos of classified portions of a submarine.
Kardashian West supported Mr Trump's rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 election. But her husband, rapper Kanye West, recently offered his support for Mr Trump in a series of tweets, saying they both share "dragon energy."

West also paid a visit to the then-president elect in New York before his inauguration. Trump said they'd talked about "life" as they posed for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower. West has said he didn't vote for president, but if he had, he would have cast a ballot for Mr Trump.
The White House declined to comment on the visit. Trump has talked about the need to get tougher on drug dealers, including suggesting that some should receive the death penalty. Kardashian West appeared to preview the visit on her Twitter feed, writing: "Happy Birthday Alice Marie Johnson. Today is for you."
Johnson was convicted in 1996 on eight criminal counts related to a multi-year Memphis-based cocaine trafficking operation involving more than a dozen people. The 1994 indictment describes dozens of deliveries and drug transactions, many involving Johnson.
Mr Trump recently pardoned boxing's first black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson at the request of Sylvester Stallone. Picture: AAP (AAP)
She was sentenced to life in prison in 1997, and appellate judges and the US Supreme Court have rejected her appeals. Court records show she has a motion pending for a reduction in sentence, but federal prosecutors are opposed to a sentence reduction, saying in a court filing that the sentence is in accord with federal guidelines, based on the large quantity of drugs involved.
The US Attorney's Office in Memphis did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.
A criminal justice advocacy site, CAN-DO, and one of Johnson's attorneys say a request for clemency was rejected by former President Barack Obama. The reasons are unclear.
Memphis attorney Michael Scholl, who filed the latest court documents in her request for a sentence reduction, said she was not a leader in the cocaine operation.
Kardashian West is not sure if she will meet the president. Picture: AAP (AAP)
"What is the purpose of putting a lady with no prior criminal record, on a non-violent drug offense, in jail for her entire life?" he said in a telephone interview. "She's a model inmate."
Scholl added that Johnson has admitted her wrongdoing, which is borne out in letters she has written to U.S. District Judge Samuel H. Mays, who now oversees her case.
"Judge Mays I'm writing to you to express my deep remorse for the crime that I committed over 20 years ago. I made some bad choices which have not only affected my life, but have impacted my entire family," she said in a February 2017 letter in the court record.
In a hand-scrawled letter last June she wrote: "I'm a broken woman. More time in prison cannot accomplish more justice."


What else are you looking for???? I have many items that I just have not put on as of yet.
I am asking 175.00 plus shipping for this. It is all rigged and ready to go on a pole and go fishing.
I only want the lures in the first pic.... What do you want for them?

Commentary on Isaiah 56:1, 6-8
Ingrid Lilly | 0 Comments
Imagine a trumpet bleating atop the highest peak to announce the gathering of all the peoples of the world.
This is not just any gathering, like a U2 concert, or an Inauguration, or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, but a great convention of the world for joyful worship of the Lord.
Isaiah's vision of salvation culminates in an international gathering of prayer. Prayer! What's more, this gathering for prayer signals God's deliverance! A radical deliverance, indeed. Even within a world of military zones, sectarianism, poverty, social injustice, and ideological fissure, Isaiah opens our eyes to a most unlikely international gathering: outsiders' pilgrimage to prayer.
Isaiah's vision for the gathering of foreigners holds significance on several levels. First, it is politically bold. God is calling non-Israelites into his sacred house. Second, it tells a spiritual narrative. The pilgrimage does not come easily, rejection awaits. Third, the vision challenges strict notions of religiosity through the power of prayer. Isaiah was making progressive theological claims for his day.
Historical Context: Gathering Israel, Gathering Foreign Nations
The historical context for Isaiah 56 sheds light on the idea of gathering. From 587-516 CE, the Israelites endured a Babylonian forced migration (exile) and were thus scattered throughout the neighboring nations. Distressed by the loss of homeland, Israel's prophets encouraged the exiles with visions of a gathering and return.
So for example, Isaiah 43:5-6 proclaims, "I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you; I will say to the north, 'Give them up,' and to the south, 'Do not withhold; bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the end of the earth.'" Isaiah, in particular, made that vision even more powerful by reminding the Israelites of their national story. In that story, God gave Hebrew slaves their own land after rescuing them from Egyptian oppression. Isaiah invokes this old story of gathering Israel to bring hope to the exiled Israelites. A return to homeland involved hope that God would act on their behalf again. This is often called the "Second Exodus." The exiles would be drawn out from the nations and gathered in their homeland.
By the time our passage was written, the prophet explains that the Second Exodus had already taken place. Isaiah 56 is usually dated to the post-exilic period, when some Israelites had already returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple (516 BCE). Hence, for Isaiah, the great gathering of Israelites had come to pass. The Second Exodus from the nations had taken place. The national foundation story of the Exodus promised that Israel could rebuild its national life, once again.
However, Isaiah 56 is not about a return of the Israelite exiles. Isaiah 56 promises that every person who calls on the name of the Lord will be gathered. The vision extends the promise to foreigners (as well as the eunuchs in verse 4 and the outcasts of Israel in verse 8). Israel's great gathering invites outsiders to come in. Thus, all people "joined to the Lord" are now invited to God's earthly house of worship. The scene is one of outsiders on a pilgrimage.
A Political Gathering
Isaiah's vision is all the more radical when considering the political status of these people "joined to the Lord." Among those gathered, for example, there may have been Ammonites or Moabites; People from among Israel's often enemy neighbors. Staying with this example, Israel fought against the Ammonites and Moabites and other such enemies during the period before the monarchy (e.g., Judges 11-12).
These sour relations continued to induce wars during the Davidic dynasty (e.g., 2 Kings 3). Israel's prophets preached against these nations in the "oracles against foreign nations" (e.g., Ezekiel 25). Hence, the Hebrew Bible shows a clear history of antagonism and hatred between Israel and the "foreign nations."
Because of the antagonism, this is a politically charged gathering. It may be hard to appreciate this at first. Disney and Hollywood exert so much force over our imaginations, it is practically instinctual to picture something like the scene in the Lion King, when all the adorable and colorful animals converge for the lion's birth. We mollify the gathering of the Animal Kingdom in order to romanticize zoological unity.
By contrast, Isaiah's gathering is politically unlikely. Imagine illegal immigrants, nations at odds, and refugees crossing strict military borders on pilgrimage towards prayer. Imagine a Western person having to cross into Iran or North Korea (typically unwelcoming of Westerners) heading towards a house of worship. There are border crossings going on in this vision. Border crossings that work against deep-seeded political and national identities.
A Spiritual Pilgrimage
Second, Isaiah's pilgrimage of outsiders suggests a spiritual narrative. The pilgrimage towards prayer is riddled with rejection and challenges. The plight of those gathered may be imagined from within the context of third Isaiah (chapters 56-66). In these chapters, we hear hints of their plaintive cry. So in Isaiah 63:16, outsiders express their sense of alienation, "you [Lord] are our father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our father; our Redeemer from of old is your name."
In the historical context, the post-exilic reconstruction was marked by disputes about foreigners. Indeed, foreigners were not well-received by these early Second Temple communities. Returning to our example from above, we hear that Moabites and Ammonites were singled out and removed from among the "people of Israel" (cf., Nehemiah 13:1-3). Third Isaiah may have been speaking about the seeds of this antagonism towards foreigners when he states, "Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands at a distance; for truth stumbles in the public square, and uprightness cannot enter" (Isaiah 59:14). In other words, despite being joined to the Lord, the outsiders face social exclusion.
Recognizing this plight, the experience of being excluded, helps to shape a spiritual narrative for our pilgrims. When the institutions and people in power withhold membership, the pilgrimage of outsiders requires courage, strength, character, perseverance, etc. Third Isaiah offers a bold vision of God's work on pilgrims' behalf. Se we hear encouragement such as, "prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people's way" (Isaiah 57:14). The obstructions on the pilgrimage require God's power.
A Religious Vision
Isaiah's vision of international gathering has profound implications for how we understand religion and religious identity. The common denominator of these people who are "joined to the Lord" is a house of worship and prayer. For anyone who has worked in ecumenism or with interfaith communities, decisions about a common house of worship or how to engage the divine with prayer are not simple.
Indeed, Isaiah does not provide any detail about how this will work. These details are left to the imagination. However, the vision boldly claims that prayer can unite people of faith in God. Indeed, prayer is the hope to which God's pilgrims travel. People united before God in prayer: this is the eschatological hope of the faithful.
Who are these pilgrims? Such a question only draws out our speculations. Global Christianity is alive and kicking. So are global monotheistic religions, which would include Judaism and Islam. Have other religions joined themselves to the Lord? To what extent does this passage push our boundaries about religious orthodoxy?
It certainly gestures towards the cultural richness involved in worshipping the Lord. However, it also opens up the question of religious identity and institutional affiliation. At least according to Isaiah 56, God's deliverance of the world is revealed through the pilgrimage of outsiders.

Everybody loves an heiress, atleast we saw it with the way people geared and applauded Rihanna on, lol. But this, erm, this heiress isn't making us proud.
These pictures show the daughter of disgraced businessman Sir Philip Green passionately kissing with the 'world's hottest felon' Jeremy Meeks.
Dubbed the 'world's hottest felon', father-of-two Meeks stole hearts all over the world when his mugshot went viral in 2014.
The former gang member was convicted of possessing a semi-automatic pistol and was jailed for two years. He was released from prison in 2016 saying that he had found God, before quickly securing a six-figure modelling job.
After the pictures emerged, Chloe hit back with an Instagram photo of the pair which read: 'Just the Beginning… We appreciate all the love and the hate'. The duo were sat with photographer Jim Jordan, who is also Meeks's manager.
Meeks and Chloe, whose father is worth £3.8billion, are believed to have met during the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.
The intimate yacht pictures show Jeremy gently holding onto Chloe's face, with the heavily inked catwalk star looking handsome in green board shorts as Chloe wrapped her arms around his muscular waist, with her wavy caramel locks flowing down her back.
The pair shared a moment looking into each other's eyes before moving their public display of affection to a deck chair.
There, they cosied up with Chloe shooting a seductive glance Jeremy's way as she reclined into his lap and puffed on a cigarette, while the model got within pecking distance of her lips.

The Po, the Italy longuest river, flows through Torino and develops a linear natural park along its banks.
The building of a footbridge for pedestrians and bicycle riders between the area 'Vanchiglietta' and the 'Barriera di Casale' creates a link between the river's banks and two parts of the city that looks very different today.
The lightness of the structure was one of the most important criterion to respect the river's natural environment.
Researches developed by Philippe Samyn on trusses allows to use simple elements, of minimal thickness and to optimize the material distribution in the structure.
The multi Warren type truss beam is made up of several bars to reduce the free lengths of buckling of the compressed elements. The choice of a continuous beam on four supports (one 60 m bay and two 40 m bays) allows to reduce further the weight of the structure. This allows the use of square tubes with various thicknesses whose largest sections is 120 by 120 mm.
The visual lightness fits to the physical lightness of the footbridge.
The spatial structure of the 140 m long truss presents a width of 7 m, a height of 5 m and a total weight of 150 tons.
The wooden deck floor shows a width of 5 m, divided in on 125 cm spans and is calculated for a life load of 400daN/m2.
Along the sloped safety rails, two wooden benches allow the walker a break by sitting down and appreciating the surrounding landscape. The footbridge is covered with a glazed streaked roof to limit sunshine but also to keep maximal daylighting. The project is not only intended to be a passage-way but also a place to live.
A free height of 360 cm under the roof allows the circulation of emergency cars.
The respect of hydrological river's balance has been the object of a specific study for the design of the two piles and for the definition of the bridge's foundation level.
The slight curve of the longitudinal profile allows a 1 m free height above the highest river's level at least on 2/3 of the brigde's length, and maintain in this way also the accesibility for wheel chairs.

6-Year-Old Boy Found in Dumpster Was Drowned in Bathtub by a Relative, Police Say
By Aric Jenkins
The body of a 6-year-old-boy was found in a dumpster Tuesday, a day after he was reported missing to authorities in the Seattle metropolitan area.
Authorities said the child, identified as Dayvid Pakko, had been drowned in a bathtub by a 19-year-old male relative in Lynnwood, Wash., according to the Seattle Times. The relative, who remains unidentified, has been taken into custody, the Snohomish County Sheriff's office said.
"There is evidence that the boy was a victim of homicide," a spokesperson from the Snohomish County Sheriff's office said, according to the Times.
It is not yet clear whether the 19-year-old was the adult tasked with watching the child while his mother worked or what the 19-year-old's exact relationship was with him, the Times reported. It remains unknown whether the 19-year-old has confessed to the crime, but the Snohomish County Sheriff's office said that police do not believe there are any other suspects.
Former GOP Congressman Handed 26 Month Prison Sentence Over Insider Trading
Man Reportedly Confesses to Killing His Family, Pet Dog in Celebration, Florida Home
The Snohomish County Sheriff's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TIME.
The 6-year-old boy's body was found in a trash container at an apartment complex around the corner from the child's home around 2 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said. The boy, who was described as mildly autistic, according to the Times, was first reported missing Monday evening.
"Obviously, it's an incredibly tragic ending," the Snohomish County Sheriff's office spokesperson said.

Oengus was asleep one night when he saw something like a young girl coming towards the head of his bed, and she was the most beautiful woman in Eriu. He made to take her hand and draw her to his bed, but, as he welcomed her, she vanished suddenly, and he did not know who had taken her from him. He remained in bed until the morning , but he was troubled in his mind: the form he had seen but not spoken to was making him ill. No food entered his mouth that day. He waited until evening, and then he saw a timpán in her hand, the sweetest ever, and she played for him until he fell asleep. Thus he was all night, and the next morning he ate nothing.
After that, Oengus and his people returned to their own lan, and Bodb went with them to visit the Dagdae and Bóand at Bruig ind Maicc Oic. They told their news: how the girl's form and appearance were just as Oengus had seen: and they told her name and those of her father and grandfather. 'A pity that we cannot get her,' said the Dagdae. 'What you should do is go to Ailill and Medb, for the girl is in their territory,' said Bodb.
Peace and friendship were made among Ailill and Ethal and the Dagdae, then, and the Dagdae bade them farewell and went to his house and told the news to his son. 'Go next Samuin to Loch Bél Dracon,' he said, 'and call her to you there.' The Macc Oc went to Loch Bél Dracon, and there he saw the three fifties of white birds, with silver chains, and golden hair about their heads. Oengus was in human form at the edge of the lake, and he called to the girl, saying 'Come and speak with me, Cáer!' 'Who is calling to me?' sked Cáer. 'Oengus is calling,' he replied. 'I will come,' she said, 'if you promise me that I may return to the water.' 'I promise that,' he said. She went to him, then: he put his arms round her, and they slept in the form of swans until they had circles the lake three times. Thus, he kept his promise. They left in the form of two white birds and flew to Bruig ind Maicc Oic, and there they sang until the people inside fell asleep for three days and three nights. The girl remained with Oengus after that. This is how the friendship between Ailill and Medb and the Macc Oc arose, and this is why Oengus took three hundred to the cattle raid of Cúailnge.

#TEAMTWENTY STORIES - THE STOCKS FROM SCOTLAND!
As part of our #TeamTwenty Campaign, we've been asking our supporters to send in their stories about why they purchased a 2017/18 Season Ticket.
In this week's edition, we've been speaking to Steven Stocks, an adopted Bantam from Kirkcaldy in Scotland.
Here is what Steven had to say: "I'm originally from Kirkcaldy in Scotland and followed Raith Rovers all over Scotland, sadly I was too young for the European away trips!
"I fell out of love with the game for a while and didn't attend any games for years. Since moving to West Yorkshire in 2011, I needed a fresh start after unfortunately being diagnosed with Cancer.
"I started following City's results at the end of the 2011/12 season but couldn't make any games due to work commitments, having to start at 4am most mornings.
"I've since moved to Wibsey, got married and I've started taking my stepson Jack (pictured above), 5 to a few games and he loves it!
"This is the reason why I've got Season Tickets for the two of us. Jack's sister, Emily also has a Season Ticket and we're hoping she comes more regularly!
"My first City game was in 2013 whilst Jack's first game was the Play-Off Semi-Final final leg vs Millwall last season and ever since then we'd planned to get season tickets.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't get them this season, so as soon as they became available for next season I purchased them!
"I think it's important to support our local team as it brings a sense of community.
"I also feel the way Bradford City are run should serve as a model for clubs all over England. I feel as though many clubs are pricing out the next generation of fans with some insane prices.
"I think in many ways it's not just about the Club being on our doorstep, it's everything about the club that attracts me."
With Season Tickets priced at just £149.00 for Adults and £5.00 Juniors, that's just £6.47 and 21p per game respectively and we'd love to get 20,000 Season Ticket Holders.

People listen to a sermon delivered by a pastor from the back of a flatbed truck parked on Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill as a protest against COVID-19 restrictions that has been marked by gridlock and the sound of truck horns continues into its second week, in Ottawa, on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022. Sixty two per cent of Canadians oppose the Freedom Convoy protests, with 44 per cent saying they strongly object to them, according to a Leger poll. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang
Two-thirds oppose Ottawa protest, but many sympathize with frustration: survey
Leger vice-president suggests protesters might have tapped into some broader concerns
Feb. 8, 2022 10:30 a.m.
Almost two-thirds of Canadians oppose the Ottawa protest against COVID-19 measures, with more than four in 10 saying they strongly consider the demonstration a selfish display, a new poll suggests.
But almost 30 per cent of Canadians surveyed by Leger disagreed with that characterization of the demonstration against COVID-19 measures that has seen hundreds of large trucks create gridlock and incessant noise in the national capital.
In addition, 44 per cent of those polled said they sympathized with the frustrations being voiced by the protesters.
The survey highlights the extent of divisions within Canada, said Andrew Enns, executive vice-president of Leger, suggesting the protesters might have tapped into broader concerns than just the grievances of a small minority.
The Leger survey of 1,546 adults was carried out between Feb. 4 to 6. No margin of error can be assigned because web-based polls are not considered random samples.
The survey found that 65 per cent thought the trucker convoy in Ottawa was a "small minority of Canadians who are thinking only about themselves and not the thousands of Canadians who are suffering through delayed surgeries and postponed treatments because of the growing pandemic."
Fifty-seven per cent thought the convoy was not about vaccine mandates but "an opportunity for right-wing supremacist groups to rally and voice their frustrations about society."
Just over half of Canadians polled said they found the convoy in Ottawa "scary" because it reminded them of the storming of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington last year. Only 23 per cent strongly agreed with this statement.
However, 44 per cent of those polled agreed with the statement: "I am vaccinated against COVID-19 but I do sympathize with the concerns and frustrations being voiced by people involved in the trucker protest in Ottawa."
The same proportion agreed that the prime minister and premiers "share the blame for the protest in Ottawa because of their condescending attitude toward Canadians who disagree with vaccine mandates and lockdowns."
Enns said the poll had tapped into underlying frustration among a wider section of the public with the pandemic and its handling.
"The convoy has captured and crystallized some of these feelings," Enns said. "It is a bit of a message for leadership that this might be a bigger problem."
When it comes to the nascent Conservative party leadership race, the poll suggests there is not a great deal of name recognition outside the Conservative party for contenders.
Ten per cent said Pierre Poilievre should take over from Erin O'Toole as leader of the Conservative party, followed by seven per cent favouring Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Most people polled said they didn't know.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh would seem to be the biggest beneficiary of a Tory party led by Poilievre, the survey suggests.
While support for the Tories showed no change with Poilievre at the helm, the NDP saw a bump in popularity to 24 per cent from 21 in the polls.
Support for Justin Trudeau's Liberals would dip to 31 per cent from 33 if Poilievre became Tory leader, the survey suggests.

MONTREAL -- CF Montreal has acquired Italian defender Gabriele Corbo on loan from Bologna FC 1909 for the 2022 MLS season.
The 21-year-old Corbo spent one season with Ascoli in Serie B on loan from Bologna FC. The central defender appeared in 14 games in the Italian second division and made one Coppa Italia start.
"We are delighted to have Gabriele on board for the upcoming season," CF Montreal sporting director Olivier Renard said Sunday in a release. "He is a right-footed defender who can play in both a three-man and a four-man defence."
Corbo made his pro debut with Spezia Calcio in 2018. In international play, he has featured for Italy's U17, U18, U19 and U20 teams.

Impairment of oxidative stress-induced heme oxygenase-1 expression by the defect of Parkinson-related gene of PINK1.
Chien WL1, Lee TR, Hung SY, Kang KH, Lee MJ, Fu WM.
Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Mutation in the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) gene causes an autosomal recessive form of PD. However, the etiology related to PINK1 is still not clear. Here, we examined the effect of PINK1 on heme oxygenase (HO)-1 induction in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells following H(2)O(2) or 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)) treatment. The HO-1 induction in response to H(2)O(2) and MPP(+) treatment was impaired by the expression of recombinant PINK1 G309D mutant. PINK1 G309D mutation increased the apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells following H(2)O(2) treatment and cell survival was rescued by the over-expression of HO-1 using adenovirus (Ad) infection. In addition, knockdown of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein-1 (TRAP1), which is the substrate of PINK1 kinase, in SH-SY5Y cells also inhibited the expression of HO-1 in response to oxidative stress. The up-regulation of TRAP1 expression following H(2)O(2) treatment was inhibited by the expression of recombinant PINK1 G309D mutant. The H(2)O(2)-induced HO-1 induction was Akt- and ERK-dependent. The phosphorylation of ERK and Akt but not p38 was inhibited in cells expressing the PINK1 G309D mutant and knockdown of TRAP1. These results indicate a novel pathway by which the defect of PINK1 inhibits the oxidative stress-induced HO-1 production. Impairment of HO-1 production following oxidative stress may accelerate the dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson patients with PINK1 defect.

Tempted by the video on this post at the blog of GreaseMonkeyHands, I purchased a flexible point Pilot/Namiki Falcon Fountain Pen. I don't know anything about fountain pens, but I was really intrigued by the subtle thicks and thins achieved by the pen on the video.
With the assistance of GreaseMonkeyHands, I also bought appropriate ink for the pen.
Here is a front and back view of the nib.
To fill the pen, I dipped the entire nib into the ink.
As you can tell by the ink on my hands, I'm a rookie at this!
Then I twisted the little, black end piece clockwise to bring the ink into the cartridge.
I have a lot of practicing to do in order to get the hang of it!
Mine doesn't seem to be as flexible as the one in the video, but maybe it needs to break in a bit.
I think this pen will be great for letter writing.
I've really enjoyed playing with it today.
Put a little flourish in your Friday!
Hi Jane, Congrats on your new pen, I have no doubt you will create beautiful work with it. Happy weekend!
Lovely calligraphy! My Namiki Falcons took a little time to break in and reach full potential but it was worth the wait.
I'm one of those strange people who have several and can't make up their minds which one to use. But I do have three vintage fountain pens that have wonderfully flexible nibs and I find them great for the sort of flexible script that you have made so much your own style. Two of them are by Waterman, and the 1935-ish one I bought has a Waterman Ideal nib which is really lovely to use.
Anyway, have fun with your new acquisition - there's a freedom in using fountain pens and avoiding having to keep dipping!
Great treat to start the new year with. Couple of questions - where did you order from and what size nib did you get?
HI, Jane, thanks for posting about this new pen. It is intriguing! I have tried other pens before but not this one. Thanks for sharing.
Ha nice, congrats on the acquisition! Welcome to the world of fountain pens, I think you'll enjoy the Falcon.
I realize I'm late to this party, but your monoline letters made with your cool new fountain pen are terrific! I'm thinking about buying one of those pens, now, too! If you get this, and you have a minute, could you email me with contact info for the guy who made your gorgeous resin/wood oblique pen holder? I'd appreciate it, I couldn't find anything online. Thank you!
Always doing a beautiful work Jane, and btw very nicely photographed too, this kind of fountain pen makes me remember one I bought time ago and also is not too flexible as video shown and when I tried to open the nib applying a little bit of force the nib turn into useless because don't back close anymore, so, hope the quality of the internal metal be a better performance in order to the mechanical memory back into the original shape, but your looks amazing.

Robotics_League | 30.11.2017
Robots compete in real-life conditions in Barcelona
Barcelona, 30 November 2017
HEARTS quote updated on 14 December 2017
The headquarters of the company PAL Robotics offered an important real-life learning environment when international teams competed in a European Robotics League (ERL) Service Robots competition in Barcelona, Spain.
The robots entered by five teams faced a range of challenges in a simulated home environment, which tested the robots' ability to help people with age-related impairments or disabilities in their daily lives. Future commercial versions of such assistive robots could help people to remain independent for longer.
At the Barcelona contest, held on 22–24 November 2017 as part of the European Robotics Week, PAL Robotics provided a simulated home of an old woman who cannot get out of bed. The robots — competing against the clock — had to receive and recognise a doctor, a postman and a messenger. The challenges included recognising objects and understanding natural speech.
ERL competitions aim to boost research in assisted-living robotics by giving the teams valuable experience of real-life environments that require rapid learning and problem-solving.
"This is not just scientific stuff but robots are put in real environments and have to be there to solve actual tasks," said a member of the HOMER team, from the University of Koblenz in Germany. "That's quite a problem because the robot needs to be robust, needs to interact with humans, needs to recognise objects."
"Research labs are sometimes sterile environments, quite clinical. When you come to an environment like this that represents a realistic home which is differently organised to the assisted-living environment in which we practised, and things are not quite where you expect them to be, there is a lot to learn about dealing with uncertainty, That's what has been so valuable about the competition, that we can test our robot in another environment," said the HEARTS team member Zeke Steer, from the Bristol Robotics Lab in the UK.
A member of the IRI team from Barcelona praised the ERL: "I think it is a good way to complement the stuff you learn in your course. Giving the opportunity to the students like me to think about problems, without knowing anything about how people have solved them before, is a good way to discover new ways of solving the same problems."
The ERL is an EU-funded initiative that also runs competitions for industry and emergency robots. "It is a European championship of robotics that seeks to develop innovation in order to maintain and extend the European leadership in robotics," said Carlos Vivas, the business manager of PAL Robotics, which is the ERL Service Robots platinum sponsor.
PAL Robotics has also supplied some ERL teams with TIAGo robots. The HOMER team, for example, has a TIAGo, said the team member above: "I'm impressed by the progress we've made in just one month with TIAGo. We received it one month ago and we are already able to keep objects, to navigate properly. And I think that we can achieve much more in the future."
"It was really nice, especially here at PAL Robotics because we had a whole bunch of robots here, so we didn't have to bring our own," said a member of the Robotics Lab UC3M team. "Essentially the problem with robotics up to now is that all the fields have been studied separately, and all these ERL challenges force us to focus our developments on integration. So you are bridging all the gaps that are classically there in robotics."
PAL Robotics has been developing service robots for retail, automotive, aeronautical, and research and development uses since it was formed in 2004.
ERL prizes will be awarded at the European Robotics Forum 2018, which will be held in Tampere, Finland on 13–15 March 2018.

HISCOX FILMMAKER Q&A: ANTIQUITIES
10/16/2018 AFF Blog, Guest Blog, Hiscox Filmmaker Blog, Q&A
Blog by co-writer/director: Daniel Campbell
What inspired you come up with the idea for the film?
The idea came from the mutual experience of losing our fathers early on in our adult life and all of the confusion, pain and denial that comes along with it.
Why did you want to tell this story?
We wanted to make a movie that addressed a heavy subject, but still be charming and lighthearted enough where people felt like it was ok to laugh.
How do you relate to your characters or subjects?
The characters in the film are largely based on an amalgamation of people that we've met through the years. So it was somewhat easy to create their dialogue and quirks, having grown up around these eccentric types of personalities. Our cast did such an incredible job of portraying exactly what was needed to make these characters work.
What aspect of the story changed the most during writing and production?
We stuck to the script pretty closely throughout production. It was during the editing process when we started to rebalance and shape some of the characters and story points. Once we saw the characters on screen and how they were portrayed, it was easier to mold them as needed.
What was the most courageous decision you or your crew made during production?
After DAY ONE, we decided to keep filming. That's by far the most courageous decision we made.
Were there any risks that you faced during production and how did you find a way to embrace them?
The biggest risk came with shooting in Arkansas during the fall weather. Antiquities was a very low budget film, so there wasn't much, if anything, budgeted for inclement weather. Our producers and assistant directors did an incredible job at scheduling for that and, fortunately, we never ran into any Arkansas tornadoes during production.
What influenced the visual style of the film?
The south and the eccentric world of antique malls, where we grew up, was the visual foundation of the film. We also wanted to show the beauty of Arkansas, so we always knew we wanted to shoot in the fall for the autumn colors and have the Ozark mountains as our backdrop. The autumn leaves served primarily for our visually color palette.
What risks did you take to tell your story?
I think the biggest risk was (and still is) telling the world a very personal story and opening yourself up to criticism. It's an ensemble comedy that takes place in a southern antique mall, so the risks, outside of destroying a plethora of priceless antiques, were pretty limited.
How would you encourage others to tell their story or manage through the process of screenwriting or film producing?
The key is to surround yourself with people smarter than you who share your passion for the project and who are also willing to contribute any of their advice if it serves your vision and if it makes for a better movie. Be willing to listen and to collaborate.

Restoring the human element – Mitsubishi Electric's e-F@ctory in action
|In Industry News
|By Louise Barnes
The application of Mitsubishi Electric's e-F@ctory concept at its Kani manufacturing facility in Japan has delivered hugely beneficial outcomes, with the productivity of each square metre of production space increased through greater utilisation.
Part of its Nagoya Works, Mitsubishi's Kani factory, which produces motor starters and contactors, was facing a number of significant challenges, not least the sheer number of product variations and possible configurations in its product range – some 14,000 in fact. Customer demand for greater choice had diluted the volumes of each particular product, despite overall product quantities increasing substantially.
Manual production at Kani had given way to totally automated assembly lines, which were ideal for mass production with few product variations where high yields could be realised at high speed. However, many individual components were required in stock and ready for the manufacturing process – without which the lines would not be able to run for any appreciable length of time.
For various reasons, substantial numbers of assembly lines had been optimised to produce a limited range of products, and these would stand still when components ran out. In such a scenario it became difficult and uneconomical to produce small batches.
The solution was to employ engineering know-how built up over many years and combine this with a vision of integrated manufacturing – known as the Mitsubishi Electric e-F@ctory concept. In tandem, existing technology and third-party relationships were utilised through the e-F@ctory Alliance, CLPA and other collaborative engineering groups. Put simply, the objective was to perfect the 'art of manufacturing' – or 'monozukuri', as it is known in Japan.
The major challenge was to find the root cause of any inconsistencies. This involved several approaches, from analysing existing data or collecting new data sets for fresh eyes to review, to looking for links between data that on the surface could appear unlinked. This factor is related to the first principles of Industry 4.0.
Studying existing processes, as well as the methodology, revealed that natural, normal, organic growth in the production process had inadvertently led to inefficiencies. Resolving this issue at Kani led to a re-evaluation of the need of 100% automated lines, which were not necessarily the most efficient. Restoring some human elements could potentially reduce manufacturing anomalies.
Further observations revealed that the automated parts feeding of some larger components not only created bottlenecks but led to the parts feeders consuming large volumes of space. This could result in minor damage to components – not enough to cause an issue, but enough that engineers were dissatisfied with the quality level being achieved.
Conversely, automation of some tasks which had, in the past, seemed impossible, now looked possible through a combination of technologies. An example of this thinking concerned the misalignment of certain screws during the assembly process. The automation system, unaware of the misalignment, would try to insert the screw and cause damage to the entrance of the hole.
Two technologies helped to overcome this problem: the automatic alignment of robots; and combining rotational drives for inserting screws using torque sensors. As a result, the hole can now be located easily and aligned correctly every time. Moreover, the torque sensor confirms the absence of misalignment and that the screw is tightened to the correct level. The increased use of vision systems, checking for correct assembly and alignment, has also helped to increase the number of right-first-time products.
A further, simpler idea was to etch a matrix code on the body of each product and track it through the various stages. Now, as the product arrives at a workstation, its code is read and the appropriate processes and parts applied. At the end of the manufacturing cycle, each product then has a traceable manufacturing history, making it possible to track the history of individual issues.
By redesigning the process and reintegrating the human element, a single line occupying some 280sqm has been reduced to a cell of just 44.1sqm. This 84% reduction means the productivity of each square metre of production hall has been increased through greater utilisation. Even though a single new cell cannot produce the same volume and speed of units as the original fully automated line, it is now possible to deploy up to 6.3 cells in the same space. In turn, total productivity density is much higher thanks to three key factors: a wider variety of products can be manufactured in smaller batches; one stoppage does not halt the whole of production; and the total number of production lines has increased.
The end result, much to the satisfaction of the team at Kani, is effective optimisation of both machine and human resources, as well as the production process and space – a true productivity gain. Mitsubishi Electric's e-F@ctory concept shows how manufacturers can achieve their own smart factory concepts.

Sensei (先生) is a Japanese honorific and word that is literally translated as "person born before another". In general usage, it is used, with proper form, after a person's name, and means "teacher", and the word is used as a title to refer to or address teachers, professors, professionals such as lawyers, CPA, doctors, politicians, clergymen, and other figures of authority; and implies one who teaches based on wisdom from age and experience. The word is also used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill: accomplished novelists, musicians, artists and martial artists, for example, are addressed in this way. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensei)
I observed a group of people that I interacted with at a certain time. Their personality gave some clues to create a basic approach. I used black markers on white drawing paper. During the process, different names were being considered and finally chosen for each character. I started with rough sketches using a pencil on a sketchbook I usually carry with me. Then created the basic forms utilizing Sharpie and Prismacolor markers on heavier paper. Next step was to scan. Then reconstructing and digitizing in Adobe Illustrator where the final touch was given.

Return to the ACT UP Queering Left Episode.
ACT UP/Chicago was the local chapter of the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power, a national organization committed to using direct action and civil disobedience to fight AIDS. It challenged both institutional responses to AIDS and homophobic discrimination.
Documents: Art, AIDS & Activism in Chicago from Visual AIDS.
The earliest responses to the epidemic were silence, fear, homophobia, neglect, and measures that penalized rather than assisted people with AIDS (PWAs). ACT UP advocated for PWAs through large demonstrations, creative zaps, agitprop campaigns, and meetings with medical professionals and government officials. ACT UP had a profound effect on the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered persons, challenging institutional responses to AIDS as well as homophobic discrimination.
The Chicago chapter's roots went back to 1987, when DAGMAR (Dykes and Gay Men Against Racism and Repression) protested then-Governor Thompson's perceived support for repressive AIDS laws. In 1988, DAGMAR and CFOR (Chicago for Our Rights) formed C-FAR (Chicago for AIDS Rights), which evolved into ACT UP/Chicago, a group comprising PWAs along with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and non-gay persons, of color and white, who united for the rights of PWAs.
ACT UP/Chicago demanded a multifaceted approach to fighting AIDS. Actions helped lead to Chicago's tripling and Illinois's doubling their AIDS budgets. ACT UP/Chicago challenged price-gouging by drug manufacturers, forcibly posted sex-positive propaganda to fight public transit officials' refusal to post Kupona Network's safe-sex ads, and protested violence and police brutality against PWAs and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered persons.
Original footage of ACT UP/Chicago's 1990 American Medical Association action on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.
ACT UP/Chicago's most renowned action was a demonstration by over 1,500 AIDS activists from across the nation that targeted public and private health-care systems. It also highlighted insurance discrimination and a call for national health care. A key demand was that Cook County Hospital open its AIDS ward to women. The ward began admitting women the very next day. All of ACT UP's direct actions were supplemented by highly visible agitprop that educated and entertained.
ACT UP/Chicago "Kiss In" April 1990
ACT UP/Chicago closed as an organization in 1995. Read "The Thrill is Gone... an ACT UP Post Mortem" from Mary Patten.

Suresh Joshi, popularly known as Bhaiyaji Joshi was re-elected as General Secretary or the RSS Sarkaryavah by the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha at Nagpur on Saturday. 70-year-old Joshi was re-elected for a fourth term as the sarkaryavah of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for a period of 3 years from 2018 to 2021. Earlier, it was V Seshadri who had held the post for 13 years since 1987. Joshi was first chosen Sarkaryawah in 2008 with Mohan Bhagwat taking over as Sarsanghchalak.
The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the highest body for decision making and policy formulation for the RSS. Addressing a press conference outside the RSS Smriti Mandir in Nagpur the RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh (communication in charge), Manmohan Vaidya made the announcement. The announcement was also made on the official Twitter handle of RSS. "Maananeeya Sri Suresh ( Bhaiyaji) Joshi re-elected as #RSS Sarkaryavah ( General Secretary ) for a period of 3 years (2018-2021) by the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha at Nagpur. #RSSABPS," it said.

The meeting was held at RSS headquarters in Nagpur today with the leaders representing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS's) of over 60,000 shakhas (branches) across the country present to elect a new Sarkaryawah.The announcement was made on the second of the three-day meeting of the RSS's Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), which was inaugurated by RSS chief (Sarsanghchalak) Mohan Bhagwat at the Hedgewar Smarak Samiti in Nagpur.
This election is considered as an important one because in the day-to-day running of the RSS its supreme leader, the Sarsanghchalak, has only an advisory role. While the general secretary is essentially the chief executive of what is the world's largest non-government organisation. The executive head of the RSS has full control over the organisation's every activity.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was founded by Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar at Nagpur in 1925. He was a freedom fighter who devoted his entire life to the service of the motherland. There are Shakhas in approximately 50,000 villages and towns of Bharat. As RSS does not keep a formal membership or register of Swayamsevaks, the exact number of Swayamsevaks is difficult to count.
