Hank The Cat: Virginia's Cutest U.S. Senate Candidate Ever [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]
By Sara Dover @sara_dover
Hank believes he has something more to offer to the folks of Virginia than George Allen (R) and Tim Kaine (D), two former governors running to replace retiring Sen. Jim Webb.
He earned his success after living in the streets. He knows how to bring jobs to Virginia. He can chase the rats out of Washington. He's really fluffy.
Hank is a 9-year-old cat from Springfield running for the U.S. Senate as an independent write-in candidate. If you don't believe it, he's got a web site, a Facebook page, a Twitter handle and a campaign ad (video below).
Hank is a refreshing candidate--energetic, inspiring, and real, reads the Maine coon's bio. Unlike so many others, he wasn't born with a 'silver spoon'--but rather earned his success and his name through hard work.
A phone call to the number on Hank's Facebook page leads to Matthew O'Leary, Hank's campaign manager and owner. He and his partner of 12 years, Anthony Roberts, said they launched the election effort on October 7, 2011 originally as a joke to kind of let off some steam.
Both photographers, they dressed up the cat in a tie and made politically-themed portraits for fun. After creating a website and a mock campaign ad, O'Leary said he and Roberts realized that people were really starting connect with Hank and what he stood for.
Everyone seems to really agree with us that even a cat can do better than what we currently have, O'Leary said.
Since the furry senate hopeful launched his campaign, Hank's been covered by The Washington Post, NBC Washington, and Fox 5 News. As of Monday night, his page had 406 likes and only 115 followers on Twitter, but that's likely to increase if his popularity continues to snowball.
It's a small operation. O'Leary and Roberts do most of the work out of Springfield while Roberts' cousin Fran Tiburzio, a PR professional from Columbus, Ohio, helps out.
Hank's message is relatively simple, too. The campaign touts a platform on job creation, citing his pulled-himself-by-his-pawstraps life from the streets to a loving Springfield home as experience. O'Leary, however, said he has two major goals: bringing attention to the negative and vitriolic nature of politics as well as raise awareness of animal adoption. On his Facebook page, Hank promises to donate $1 for every Like to the Fairfax Humane Society.
Although he is running as an independent, O'Leary said their cat is a Republican at heart. This realization came when he and Roberts would take Hank to bed every night and the cat would rip up his liberal books--and only his liberal books--to wake him up.
We're both liberal, but you know, you can't choose what your kids become, the kitten's campaign manager said.
Although he's happy to share his cat with the world, O'Leary said he hopes to hear from George Allen and Tim Kaine. The two are competing in what is shaping up to be one of the most closely-watched Senate races in the country, as it is in a swing state critical to President Barack Obama's re-election hopes, The Washington Post writes.
The two candidates have yet to comment on their third-party rival.

36th America's Cup race officials announced
Wednesday, 10 July 2019, 9:41 am
Press Release: America's Cup
The Defender and Challenger of Record organizations for the America's Cup presented by Prada have announced the specialist race management, rules and measurement teams chosen for the competition's 36th edition taking place in Auckland, New Zealand in 2021.
America's Cup stalwart John Craig (CAN) has been named as Regatta Director and will be in ultimate charge of all racing activity, including in 2020 the America's Cup World Series events and the Prada Cup Challenger Selection Series, and the America's Cup Match in 2021.
Highly experienced rules expert Richard Slater (AUS) has been chosen as Chief Umpire and as such oversees a hand-picked team of umpires responsible for ensuring fair racing at all America's Cup events.
AC75 Class Rule Committee
A dedicated committee of rules experts has been introduced for this latest edition of the America's Cup to provide the competing teams with official interpretations on the AC75 Class Rule as they each design and build their revolutionary foiling monohull yachts.
The AC75 Class Rule Committee is made up of internationally-renowned sailing experts Stan Honey (USA), Carlos de Beltràn (ESP) and Hasso Hoffmeister (GER) and has already been active for the last year responding to the teams' requests for specific clarification of the Class Rule.
Measurement Committee
The Measurement Committee is responsible for conducting all measurement-related checks of the teams' AC75 foiling monohull yachts – which are expected to be launched over the coming months – and for issuing AC75 Class certificates.
Shaun Ritson (AUS) is the coordinator of the Measurement Committee, with the supporting expertise of Daniel Jowett (NZL) and David McCollough (USA).
Commenting on the appointments, Russell Green, rules and legal advisor for the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand, was instrumental in bringing the race officials together for the 36th America's Cup.
"We are fortunate to have secured the services of such well respected international officials with established reputations at the top level of our sport including previous experience in the America's Cup," Green commented.
Matteo Plazzi – Technical Director at the Challenger of Record America's Cup 36 – the organisation responsible for running the Prada Cup Challenger Selection Series and the America's Cup World Series – said each of the appointees: "brought a wealth of experience and integrity to the 36th edition of the America's Cup".
"Their appointments reinforce our commitment as Challenger of Record to fair competition and exceptional racing for the Challenging teams in the events we are organising in 2020 and 2021, as well as in the America's Cup Match," Plazzi said.
John Craig (CAN) – Regatta Director
A hugely experienced and well-respected race management expert, Craig was principal race officer at the 34th America's Cup and the associated challenger selection series and America's Cup World Series regattas. He also oversaw the inception of World Sailing's Sailing World Cup international regatta series and was race manager for US Sailing's prestigious Miami Olympic Classes Regatta, as well as serving as race director for the Extreme Sailing Series and the Red Bull Foiling Generation series.
Richard Slater (AUS) – Chief Umpire
Slater is a World Sailing qualified international umpire and judge and was the chief umpire at the 35th America's Cup in Bermuda. He also is the vice chairman of the World Sailing racing rules committee, a member of the international umpires sub-committee and chairs or is a member of numerous World Sailing working parties. He also headed up the World Sailing working party which created the high-speed rules that are used by many classes of high-performance boats. As well as his race management experience, Slater has worked with several professional sailing teams as a rules advisor and in team management – including teams that have won the America's Cup three times and the Volvo Ocean Race once. Slater also provides support to the Australian Sailing Team ahead of the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
Stan Honey (USA)
One of the world's best-known racing navigators, Honey's achievements include winning the Volvo Ocean Race around the world and setting a Jules Verne record for the fastest non-stop circumnavigation of the planet – as well as contributing as a navigator for multiple other 24-hour-distance, transatlantic, transpacific and singlehanded records. Honey holds a bachelor's degree in engineering and applied science from Yale University and a master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford. He is a three-time Emmy Winner for technical innovation in Sports TV, and a member of both the US National Inventors and the Sports Broadcasting Halls of Fame. A prolific inventor, he holds 30 patents associated with navigation, tracking, and augmented reality graphics and led the development of the yellow 'first-down line' widely used now in the broadcast of American football. He is also responsible for the ESPN "K-Zone" baseball pitch tracking and highlighting system, as well as the Race/FX tracking and highlighting system used in NASCAR.
Carlos de Beltrán (ESP)
De Beltrán joined World Sailing as technical and offshore director in 2017 and has been involved with the last four editions of the America's Cup. He has also served as chief measurer for the M32 and RC44 class associations and was the equipment inspector for three editions of the Volvo Ocean Race. He holds two master's degrees – one in naval architecture and one in product design.
Hasso Hoffmeister (GER)
Hoffmeister has worked for Classification Society DNVGL (formerly Germanischer Lloyd) since graduating as a naval architect in 1993. He is an expert in the assessment of marine structures, yachts and rigs and has developed several standards and guidelines, amongst which are the GL Guidelines for Structural Design of Racing Yachts. His particular field of expertise is the evaluation of composite structures. While working with Germanischer Lloyd, Hoffmeister was also rig designer of United Internet Team Germany's during the 32nd America's Cup.
Shaun Ritson (AUS) - Coordinator
Ritson has been a consultant naval architect for the past 25 years. He is a World Sailing international measurer for the Moth Class and served on the Measurement Committee for the 31st, 32nd and 34th America's Cup editions. He was also a measurer for three Volvo Ocean Races, including serving as chief measurer for the 2011-12 edition.
Daniel Jowett (NZL)
An experienced navigator with many offshore racing miles to his name Jowett trained as a mechanical engineer specialising in yacht aerodynamics and has worked as an engineer at the Yacht Research unit and Twisted Flow wind tunnel in Auckland, as well as with Vspars. He has been involved in two editions of the Volvo Ocean Race, working in race control during the 2013-14 edition and as the electronics team leader in 2017-18.
David McCollough (USA)
McCollough operates McCollough Yachts LLC, a yacht design and engineering firm in Newport, Rhode Island. He studied mechanical engineering at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and yacht design at The Landing School in Kennebunkport, Maine. McCollough Yachts has been responsible for several race-winning multihull sailboats as well as luxury cruising boats and has recently leveraged foiling knowledge gained from racing sailboats into innovative foil-assisted power catamarans. As a member of the team which wrote the class rule for the 34th America's Cup, McCollough has an excellent understanding of the unique intricacies of this competition.

One of America's foremost philosophers, John Dewey (1859-1952) fought for civil and academic freedom, founded the Progressive School movement, and steadfastly promoted a scientific approach to intellectual development.
In How We Think, Dewey shares his views on the educator's role in training students to think well. Basing his assertions on the belief that knowledge is strictly relative to human interaction with the world, he considers the need for thought training, its use of natural resources, and its place in school conditions; inductive and deductive reasoning, interpreting facts, and concrete and abstract thinking; the functions of activity, language, and observation in thought training; and many other subjects.
John Dewey's influence on American education and philosophy is incalculable. This volume, as fresh and inspirational today as it was upon its initial publication a century ago, is essential for anyone active in the field of teaching or about to embark on a career in education.

Paying Guests are one of the most hassle-free things that you can opt while shifting to a new city. Hence, Bullmen Realty has tried to offer some tips for choosing a paying guest (PG) accommodation.
Owing to better job and advanced education opportunities, more and more people are moving their base in the metropolitan cities. But, the biggest problem that people have to face is to deal with the accommodation issue. As you are unfamiliar with the new city, hence things become worse in your case. With smartphones and internet in everyone's reach, searching for an accommodation has become quite simpler these days. Staying in a paying guest (PG) is one of the best things that you can look in your starting days and there are a plethora of reasons that PG may sound far better than living in a rental house. There are some simple tips that you can use while choosing a paying guest (PG) accommodation.
Affordability is one of the biggest issues that you should figure out when you come to a new city. You are new, you are stranger and unfamiliar with the place, and hence it is the high time when you should save as much as you can at least on accommodation. In the beginning, you are supposed to check your monthly budget and spend accordingly. Look for PGs that can easily fit into your pocket. Search them online, call the owner and then plan to visit the place. The more you research, more will be the chances that you may get a deal matching all your requirements.
Safety is another issue that should be taken on a priority basis while choosing a paying guest (PG) accommodation. Either you are men or women, criminal spares no one. As the crime rates are all-time high in the country, especially in the metropolitan cities, therefore, safety and security should be taken with the utmost care. Opt for a locality with the least crime-rate record. It is advisable for newcomers to look for properties with a registered Resident Welfare Associations (RWA) as they always hire a private security agency to keep crimes and criminals at a bay. They maintain a proper record of visitors coming in the sector or society, hence doesn't leave a chance to secure the premises.
Before you finalise a deal, it is important to visit the property to get the actual insight of the location and PG. If you are on the verge of finalising the deal, we suggest you to visit it at different times of the day. It will give you an idea of the location, residents, and safety. If possible ask from the people residing in the locality about the security and the owner. You can also visit the nearby market and check the proximity of it from your PG.
Also, you need to ask the owner about the facilities like power backup and water supply. Don't forget to ask if such conveniences are actually a part of the rent amount or you will have to pay it separately. Inquire the owner if they are offering the meals or not. If yes, then what will be the timings and if they will also pack it for your office or college.
Choosing a paying guest (PG) accommodation highly depends on the kind of guest policy offered by the PG owner. We all have friends and family members in different cities. There will be occasions when your parent will come to see you. Plus, if you don't have one then you will surely make friends in office or college. So, do ask the PG owner if they entertain such visit or not. Some PGs allows overnight stays for guests but limit the number of visits whereas some do not offer such conveniences. Some PGs also make money by taking additional rent on such stays, which is why you should inquire for the same.
In the end, all that we can say that choosing a paying guest (PG) accommodation is a painstaking task, but then, it is indispensable. Search as per your priorities so that you can have a clear picture in your mind that what do you want and where to head to accomplish it. Follow these above-given tips to make things simpler while looking for a PG accommodation.

Print and posters more persuasive than film at Epica 2011 creative advertising awards
Creative advertising award schemes are, by their nature, an imperfect guide to reality. If your agency doesn't enter, your work doesn't get considered; on the other hand, those who do enter and win may be regarded as unrepresentative of general industry opinion.
Even so, hardy annual schemes provide a rough and ready guide to agencies and agency groups that are performing above standard.
Which is exactly what you find with the latest Epica international advertising awards. Set up in 1987, they are Euro-centric or rather EMEA in their scope and differ from most in the genre in being assessed by senior advertising trade-magazine journalists (usually editors) rather than the creative community. Creatives may dislike their work being prodded and probed by what they probably regard as a bunch of philistines, but they cannot deny that experienced journalists bring a degree of objectivity to the proceedings.
So what does Epica 2011 tells us? First that Germany, not France or Britain, is the advertising power-house of Europe. To be sure you would expect the biggest country – and the only one with a thriving economy right now – to be the most prolific entrant. But it also hauled the most winners: 15 golds, 45 silvers, 29 bronze – 89 awards in total. By way of perspective, France came second with 66 awards, of which 11 were golds; and Britain trailed Sweden in fourth place with 41 awards (Sweden: 58), of which 12 were gold (Sweden: 8). Germany had an "off-year" last time round, in 4th place. But pole position is no fluke: it has taken the palm 7 times in the last decade.
Next, the best performing networks. This was less clear-cut than last year, when WPP-owned Y&R attained an easy ascendancy with 8 category winners sourced by 4 different shops. It managed to cling on to top position this year but with a lesser margin – 5 winners from 2 shops – and also faces a serious challenge from Wieden & Kennedy, which shares the top honours. Next ranking were IPG-owned McCann Erickson (4 winners in 4 offices), Omnicom-owned BBDO (which is clearly slipping, 4 winners in 3 offices) and WPP-owned Ogilvy (the same). DDB (Omnicom) came sixth.
Individually, Serviceplan Gruppe Munich, Fred & Farid Paris and W&K Amsterdam took the most golds (4 apiece); and Forsmann & Bodenfors, Gothenburg the most awards (18).
So much for the statistics, but what of the overall quality of the work? A bit of a curate's egg this year. Film, which is generally regarded as the most prestigious of the 4 leading Epica d'Or awards, finally went to W&K Amsterdam's 'Open Your World' campaign for Heineken. In effect, W&K was in a duel with itself for the top honours, since the other serious contender was its last year Cannes winner – 'Write the Future' for Nike. Neither exactly resonates as an imaginative choice – although what they lack in originality they certainly compensate for in verve and exceptional production values. Of the two, Heineken has to have been the right choice: Nike was sooo dated and yesterday's choice.
But if film failed to sparkle, there was ample refreshment elsewhere. Print, a category in decline if ever there was one, gratifyingly produced a triple surprise. The winner, Leo Burnett's Swiss office Spillmann/Felser/Leo Burnett Zurich, provided some crackling word-play for, of all things, a financial services client, Swiss Life. "Life Turns in a Sentence" plays verbally on life's vicissitudes with a series of statements that change their meaning 180 degrees in mid-sentence.
Similarly inspiring was Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R's "Passport Stamps" work for Land Rover. It had a simple, appealing graphic quality which would have worked equally well in print although in fact it won the Outdoor Epica d'Or.
While we're there, the fourth of the big prizes, for Interactive, was won by Jung von Matt Stockholm for its "MINI Getaway" campaign.

David Lloyd Finchley is an excellent all-round family gym (members only). There is a large indoor play area for under 2s and climbing frames for the older kids, a healthy and varied kids menu, warm paddling pool, kids section of the main pool, and much more.
For babies and toddlers there is a music and movement session every Monday, Tuesday and Friday morning.
Older children (3+) can join in family aerobics and yoga classes, or take swimming lessons and tennis lessons.
If you just want to burn some calories or tone up without baby, make use of the Creche and work out in their state-of-the-art gymnasium (including Power Plates if you only have time for a 10 minute workout), aerobics and pilates studios, outdoor and indoor tennis courts, outdoor and indoor pools, sauna, hot tub, lounge / restaurant, and much more… You can also have your child's birthday party there if you are a member.
I love this place! Firstly, it doesn't matter how young/old your children are, there's always something to do; swimming, tennis, dance classes etc. There's an entire area dedicated to kids with large soft play at one end, dining in the middle and TV/ computers at the other end. On a Tuesday/ Thursday morning they have singing and dancing with a bubble machine and mums can participate if they want – it's also free! Wide range of healthy food options and you can leave your kids in the creche for a max of two hours (£4ph) if you want to enjoy the facilities by yourself. There's also a Costa Coffee. Baby changing facilities are in the main changing room, where there's also a playpen, so you can pop them in there whilst you change.
Here's a glimpse of my last visit to David Lloyds – there's me, gasping and spluttering, swimming laps desperately trying to burn off that last bit of "muffin top", while pushing along a day-glo orange inflatable seat. Baby E sits in the seat, floating along and kicking his legs like a maniac, grinning and laughing with glee. When I take a much needed break, we hang out in the lovely and warm paddling pool, and keep an eye on my friend's baby while she does Humpty Dumpty with her toddler in the big pool.
The kids are starving after a swim, so we sit at some comfy seats in the Family lounge, feed the babies and put them to sleep in their buggies beside the table. The toddler has an enormous meal from the kids menu (lots of options, including some Annabel Karmel) and then disappears off into the soft play area while we chill out and have a relatively relaxing and healthy lunch. Ahhhhh…. The only downside is that the play areas aren't gated, i.e. your toddler actually can escape if you aren't keeping a close eye. I can't wait til the kids are old enough for family yoga, aerobics and tennis – it'll be so much fun!
