Q: Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll I want to be able to scroll through the whole page, but without the scrollbar being shown.
In Google Chrome it's:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

But Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer don't seem to work like that.
I also tried this in CSS:
overflow: hidden;

That does hide the scrollbar, but I can't scroll any more.
Is there a way I can remove the scrollbar while still being able to scroll the whole page?
With just CSS or HTML, please.

A: On modern browsers you can use wheel event:
// Content is the element you want to apply the wheel scroll effect to
content.addEventListener('wheel', function(e) {
    const step = 100; // How many pixels to scroll

    if (e.deltaY > 0) // Scroll down
        content.scrollTop += step;
    else // Scroll up
        content.scrollTop -= step;
});

A: This works for me with simple CSS properties:
.container {
    -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
    scrollbar-width: none;  /* Firefox */
}
.container::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;  /* Safari and Chrome */
}

For older versions of Firefox, use: overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none;

A: Use
function reloadScrollBars() {
    document.documentElement.style.overflow = 'auto';  // Firefox, Chrome
    document.body.scroll = "yes"; // Internet Explorer only
}

function unloadScrollBars() {
    document.documentElement.style.overflow = 'hidden';  // firefox, chrome
    document.body.scroll = "no"; // Internet Explorer only
}

Call these functions for any point you want to load or unload or reload the scrollbars. It is still scrollable in Chrome as I tested it in Chrome, but I am not sure of the other browsers.

A: Use:
CSS
#subparent {
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 500px;
    border: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.00) solid;
}

#parent {
    width: 515px;
    height: 300px;
    overflow-y: auto;
    overflow-x: hidden;
    opacity: 10%;
}

#child {
    width: 511px;
    background-color: rgba(123, 8, 10, 0.42);
}

HTML

                <!- Code here for scroll ->

A: The following Sass styling should make your scrollbar transparent on most browsers (Firefox is not supported):
.hide-scrollbar {
  scrollbar-width: thin;
  scrollbar-color: transparent transparent;

  &::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 1px;
  }

  &::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: transparent;
  }

  &::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background-color: transparent;
  }
}

A: In addition, scrolling without a scroll bar for all browsers.
CSS
.keep-scrolling {
  background-color: #EEE;
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  border: 1px dotted black;
  overflow-y: scroll; /* Add the ability to scroll the y axis */
}

/* Hide the scrollbar for Chrome, Safari and Opera */
.keep-scrolling::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none;
}

/* Hide the scrollbar for Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox */
.keep-scrolling {
  -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer and Edge */
  scrollbar-width: none;  /* Firefox */
}

SCSS
.keep-scrolling {
    background-color: #EEE;
    width: 200px;
    height: 100px;
    border: 1px dotted black;
    overflow-y: scroll; /* Add the ability to scroll the y axis */

    /* Hide the scrollbar for Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox */
    -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer and Edge */
    scrollbar-width: none;  /* Firefox */

    /* Hide the scrollbar for Chrome, Safari and Opera */
    &::-webkit-scrollbar {
       display: none;
    }
}

HTML

A: It is easy in WebKit, with optional styling:
html {
    overflow: scroll;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 0;  /* Remove scrollbar space */
    background: transparent;  /* Optional: just make scrollbar invisible */
}
/* Optional: show position indicator in red */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background: #FF0000;
}

A: This works for me:
scroll-content {
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

scroll-content::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 0;
}

A: UPDATE:
Firefox now supports hiding scrollbars with CSS, so all major browsers are now covered (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.).
Simply apply the following CSS to the element you want to remove scrollbars from:
.container {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    scrollbar-width: none; /* Firefox */
    -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
}
.container::-webkit-scrollbar { /* WebKit */
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
}

This is the least hacky cross browser solution that I'm currently aware of. Check out the demo.

ORIGINAL ANSWER:
Here's another way that hasn't been mentioned yet. It's really simple and only involves two divs and CSS. No JavaScript or proprietary CSS is needed, and it works in all browsers. It doesn't require explicitly setting the width of the container either, thus making it fluid.
This method uses a negative margin to move the scrollbar out of the parent and then the same amount of padding to push the content back to its original position. The technique works for vertical, horizontal and two way scrolling.
Demos:

*

*Vertical

*Horizontal

*Both directions
Example code for the vertical version:
HTML:

    Your content.

CSS:
.parent {
  width: 400px;
  height: 200px;
  border: 1px solid #AAA;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.child {
  height: 100%;
  margin-right: -50px; /* Maximum width of scrollbar */
  padding-right: 50px; /* Maximum width of scrollbar */
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

A: This is how I do it for horizontal scroll; only CSS and works well with frameworks like Bootstrap / col-*. It only needs two extra divs and the parent with a width or max-width set:
You can select the text to make it scroll or scroll it with fingers if you have a touchscreen.

.overflow-x-scroll-no-scrollbar {
    overflow: hidden;
}
.overflow-x-scroll-no-scrollbar div {
    overflow-x: hidden;
    margin-bottom: -17px;
    overflow-y: hidden;
    width: 100%;
}
.overflow-x-scroll-no-scrollbar div * {
    overflow-x: auto;
    width: 100%;
    padding-bottom: 17px;
    white-space: nowrap;
    cursor: pointer
}

/* The following classes are only here to make the example looks nicer */
.row {
    width: 100%
}
.col-xs-4 {
    width: 33%;
    float: left
}
.col-xs-3 {
    width:25%;
    float:left
}
.bg-gray {
    background-color: #DDDDDD
}
.bg-orange {
    background-color:#FF9966
}
.bg-blue {
    background-color: #6699FF
}
.bg-orange-light{
    background-color: #FFAA88
}
.bg-blue-light{
    background-color: #88AAFF
}

Column 1

Column 2

Column 3

Content 1

This content too long for the container, so it needs to be hidden but scrollable without scrollbars

Content 3

Short version for lazy people:

.overflow-x-scroll-no-scrollbar {
    overflow: hidden;
}
.overflow-x-scroll-no-scrollbar div {
  overflow-x: hidden;
  margin-bottom: -17px;
  overflow-y: hidden;
  width: 100%;
}
.overflow-x-scroll-no-scrollbar div * {
  overflow-x: auto;
  width: 100%;
  padding-bottom: 17px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  cursor:pointer
}

/* The following classes are only here to make the example looks nicer */
.parent-style {
    width: 100px;
    background-color: #FF9966
}

This content too long for the container, so it needs to be hidden but scrollable without scrollbars

A: My problem: I don't want any style in my HTML content. I want my body directly scrollable without any scrollbar, and only a vertical scroll, working with CSS grids for any screen size.
The box-sizing value impact padding or margin solutions, they works with box-sizing:content-box.
I still need the "-moz-scrollbars-none" directive, and like gdoron and Mr_Green, I had to hide the scrollbar. I tried -moz-transform and -moz-padding-start, to impact only Firefox, but there was responsive side effects that needed too much work.
This solution works for HTML body content with "display: grid" style, and it is responsive.
/* Hide HTML and body scroll bar in CSS grid context */
html, body {
  position: static; /* Or relative or fixed ... */
  box-sizing: content-box; /* Important for hidding scrollbar */
  display: grid; /* For CSS grid */

  /* Full screen */
  width: 100vw;
  min-width: 100vw;
  max-width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
  min-height: 100vh;
  max-height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

html {
  -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
  overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none; /* Should hide the scroll bar */
}

/* No scroll bar for Safari and Chrome */
html::-webkit-scrollbar,
body::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none; /* Might be enough */
  background: transparent;
  visibility: hidden;
  width: 0px;
}

/* Firefox only workaround */
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
  /* Make HTML with overflow hidden */
  html {
    overflow: hidden;
  }

  /* Make body max height auto */
  /* Set right scroll bar out the screen  */
  body {
    /* Enable scrolling content */
    max-height: auto;

    /* 100vw +15px: trick to set the scroll bar out the screen */
    width: calc(100vw + 15px);
    min-width: calc(100vw + 15px);
    max-width: calc(100vw + 15px);

    /* Set back the content inside the screen */
    padding-right: 15px;
  }
}

body {
  /* Allow vertical scroll */
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

A: .your-overflow-scroll-class::-webkit-scrollbar {
  ...
  width: 0.5rem; //only hide the vertical scrollbar
  height: 0px; //only hide the horizontal scrollbar
}

A: Use this to hide the scrollbar but keep functionality:
.example::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none;
}

Hide scrollbar for IE, Edge and Firefox
.example {
  -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* IE and Edge */
  scrollbar-width: none;  /* Firefox */
}

A: This will be at the body:

this is the 1st step

this is the 2nd step

this is the 3rd step

And this is the CSS:
#maincontainer
{
    background: grey;
    width: 101%;
    height: 101%;
    overflow: auto;
    position: fixed;
}

#child
{
    background: white;
    height: 500px;
}

A: Adding padding to an inner div, as in the currently accepted answer, won't work if for some reason you want to use box-model: border-box.
What does work in both cases is increasing the width of the inner div to 100% plus the scrollbar's width (assuming overflow: hidden on the outer div).
For example, in CSS:
.container2 {
    width: calc(100% + 19px);
}

In JavaScript, cross-browser:
var child = document.getElementById('container2');
var addWidth = child.offsetWidth - child.clientWidth + "px";
child.style.width = 'calc(100% + ' + addWidth + ')';

A: You can use the code below to hide the scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll:
.element::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 0 !important
}

A: This answer doesn't include the code, so here is the solution from page:
According to the page this approach doesn't need to know the width of the scrollbar ahead of time in order to work and the solution works for all browsers too, and can be seen here.
The good thing is that you are not forced to use padding or width differences to hide the scrollbar.
This is also zoom safe. Padding/width solutions show the scrollbar when zoomed to minimum.

A: Just use following three lines and your problem will be solved:
#liaddshapes::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 0 !important;
}

Where liaddshapes is the name of the div where scroll is coming.

A: This works for me cross-browser. However, this doesn't hide native scrollbars on mobile browsers.
In SCSS
.hide-native-scrollbar {
  scrollbar-width: none; /* Firefox 64 */
  -ms-overflow-style: none; /* Internet Explorer 11 */
  &::-webkit-scrollbar { /** WebKit */
    display: none;
  }
}

In CSS
.hide-native-scrollbar {
  scrollbar-width: none; /* Firefox 64 */
  -ms-overflow-style: none; /* Internet Explorer 11 */
}
.hide-native-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar { /** WebKit */
  display: none;
}

A: This is a divitis-esque solution which nontheless should work for all browsers...
The markup is as follows and needs to be inside something with relative positioning (and its width should be set, for example 400 pixels):

The CSS:
.hide-scrollbar {
    overflow: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}

.scrollbar {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: -50px;
    bottom: 0;
}

.scrollbar-inner {
    width: 400px;
}

A: I happen to try the above solutions in my project and for some reason I was not able to hide the scroll bar due to div positioning.  Hence, I decided to hide the scroll bar by introducing a div that covers it superficially.  Example below is for a horizontal scroll bar:

     My content that could overflow horizontally

Corresponding CSS is as follows:
#container{
   width: 100%;
   height: 100%;
   overflow: hidden;
   position: relative;
}

#content{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  overflow-x: scroll;
}
#scroll-cover{
  width: 100%;
  height: 20px;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: #fff; /*change this to match color of page*/
}

A: I just wanted to share a combined snippet for hiding the scrollbar that I use when developing. It is a collection of several snippets found on the Internet that works for me:
.container {
    overflow-x: scroll; /* For horiz. scroll, otherwise overflow-y: scroll; */

    -ms-overflow-style: none;
    overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none;
    scrollbar-width: none;
}

.container::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;  /* Safari and Chrome */
}

A: Just write this code:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 0px;
}

Or
::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none;
}

A: Another simple working fiddle:
#maincontainer {
    background: orange;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

#childcontainer {
    background: yellow;
    position: relative;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    top: 20px;
    left: 20px;
    overflow: auto;
}

Overflow is hidden on the parent container, and overflow is auto on the child container. Simple.

A: Another sort of hacky approach is to do overflow-y: hidden and then manually scroll the element with something like this:
function detectMouseWheelDirection(e) {
  var delta = null, direction = false;
  if (!e) { // If the event is not provided, we get it from the window object
    e = window.event;
  }
  if (e.wheelDelta) { // Will work in most cases
    delta = e.wheelDelta / 60;
  } else if (e.detail) { // Fallback for Firefox
    delta = -e.detail / 2;
  }
  if (delta !== null) {
    direction = delta > 0 ? -200 : 200;
  }
  return direction;
}

if (element.addEventListener) {
  element.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', function(e) {
    element.scrollBy({
      top: detectMouseWheelDirection(e),
      left: 0,
      behavior: 'smooth'
    });
  });
}

There's a great article about how to detect and deal with onmousewheel events in deepmikoto's blog.
This might work for you, but it is definitively not an elegant solution.

A: Simply add this to your CSS file:
"&::-webkit-scrollbar": {
  display: "none",
  width: 0
},
"-ms-oveflow-style": "none" /* Internet Explorer and Edge */,
"scrollbar-width": "none" /* Firefox */,

A: This worked for me
div {
  -ms-overflow-style: none; /* Edge, Internet Explorer */
  scrollbar-width: none; /* Firefox */
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

// hides scrollbars while allowing to scroll
div::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
}

A: scrollbar-width: none;

works for me.

A: The following was working for me on Microsoft, Chrome and Mozilla for a specific div element:
div.rightsidebar {
    overflow-y: auto;
    scrollbar-width: none;
    -ms-overflow-style: none;
}
div.rightsidebar::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 0 !important;
}

A: .className::-webkit-scrollbar{
    display: none;
}

Everything you've written is correct except "overflow".
webkit for Chrome and other browsers

overflow-y: scroll;

or

overflow-y: auto;

For Firefox and Edge

scrollbar-width: none;

or

scrollbar-width: thin;

A: As of December 11th 2018 (Firefox 64 and above), the answer to this question is very simple indeed as Firefox 64+ now implements the CSS Scrollbar Styling spec.
Just use the following CSS:
scrollbar-width: none;

Firefox 64 release note link here.

A: To hide scroll bars for elements with overflowing content use.
.div{

  scrollbar-width: none; /* The most elegant way for Firefox */
}

A: Just a test which is working fine.
#parent{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

#child{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow-y: scroll;
    padding-right: 17px; /* Increase/decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
    box-sizing: content-box; /* So the width will be 100% + 17px */
}

Working Fiddle
JavaScript:
Since the scrollbar width differs in different browsers, it is better to handle it with JavaScript. If you do Element.offsetWidth - Element.clientWidth, the exact scrollbar width will show up.

Using Position: absolute,
#parent{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;

    position: absolute;
    top: 0;

    overflow-y: scroll;
}

Information:
Based on this answer, I created a simple scroll plugin.

A: Use:

      My scroll-able area

This is a trick to somewhat overlap the scrollbar with an overlapping div which doesn't have any scroll bars:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

This is only for WebKit browsers...
Or you could use browser-specific CSS content (if there is any in future). Every browser could have a different and specific property for their respective bars.
For Microsoft Edge use: -ms-overflow-style: -ms-autohiding-scrollbar; or -ms-overflow-style: none; as per MSDN.
There is no equivalent for Firefox.
Although there is a jQuery plugin to achieve this,
http://manos.malihu.gr/tuts/jquery_custom_scrollbar.html

A: HTML:

CSS:
.parent{
    position: relative;
    width: 300px;
    height: 150px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.child {
    height: 150px;
    width: 318px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

Apply CSS accordingly.
Check it here
(tested in Internet Explorer and Firefox).

A: This tricky solution works even on old Internet Explorer web browsers.
It's a workaround to the [ vertical scrollbar ]

Just try it: jsfiddle

A: I know this is a really old question, but here is a cool cross-browser solution utilizing only HTML and CSS.
HTML:

Lorem

I want to be able to scroll through the whole page, but without the scrollbar being shown. Is there a way I can remove the scrollbar while still being able to scroll the whole page? With just CSS or HTML, please.

Principle: The #navcontainer will house our .navcontent, and will have scrollbars. The .barrel will hide the scrollbar of the #navcontainer.
CSS:
.barrel{
  border: 0.8px solid #110011;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.barrel #navcontainer{
  overflow: scroll; overflow-y: hidden;
  position: absolute;/* absolute positioned contents will not affect their parents */
  top: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
/* style .clipper and .clippercontent, as a structural-image of #navcontainer and .navcontent respectively This will help .barrel have the same height as the #navcontainer */
.barrel .clipper{
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 0px;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
.navcontent, .clippercontent{
  padding: 3px 1px;
}

A: I added this and it's working for me

-ms-overflow-style: none;  /* IE and Edge */
scrollbar-width: none;  /* Firefox */

Ref : https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_hide_scrollbars.asp

A: This post already has been answered by many, but I feel its solution could be much simpler.
/* Hide scrollbar for Chrome, Safari and Opera */

.container::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none;
}

/* Hide scrollbar for Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox */

.container {
    -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer and Edge */
    scrollbar-width: none;  /* Firefox */
}

}

Note: The above method will just remove the visibility of the scrollbar, but it will still be functional. In case you want to remove scroll functionality, then you may use the below one:
container {
  overflow-y: hidden; /* Hide vertical scrollbar */
  overflow-x: hidden; /* Hide horizontal scrollbar */
}

A: Just set the width of the child's width to 100%, padding to 15 pixels, overflow-x to scroll and overflow:hidden for the parent and whatever width you want.
It works perfectly on all major browsers, including Internet Explorer and Edge with the exception of Internet Explorer 8 and lower.

A: Hide both horizontal and vertical scroll bars.
See Fiddle here
HTML

Select from left and drag to right to scroll this very long sentence. This should not show scroll bar at bottom or on the side. Keep scrolling .......... ............ .......... ........... This Fiddle demonstrates that scrollbar can be hidden. ..... ..... ..... .....

CSS
* {
    margin: 0;
}
#container1 {
    height: 50px;
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}
#container2 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    bottom: -15px;
    left: 0px;
    right: -15px;
    overflow: auto;
}

A: I had this problem, and it is super simple to fix.
Get two containers. The inner will be your scrollable container and the outer will obviously house the inner:
#inner_container { width: 102%; overflow: auto; }
#outer_container { overflow: hidden }

It is super simple and should work with any browser.

Washington baseball history
All sorts of things about professional baseball in the Nation's Capital
The 1969 A.L. home run race
Andrew Sharp	Uncategorized	 April 23, 2019 May 14, 2019 4 Minutes
Harmon Killebrew signed with the Washington Senators in 1954 and appeared in his first major league game in June under the "Bonus Baby" rule that kept him on the Nats' roster. It took him until 1959 to win a regular job as the Senators' third baseman. He proceeded to tie for the American League lead in home runs with 42. He hit 31 more for the Senators in his injury-shortened '60 season.
Fast forward to 1969: By then, Killebrew had added four more home run titles with the relocated original Senators in Minnesota. But the new Senators had a home run threat of their own: Frank Howard, the defending A.L. home run champ whose 44 round-trippers in '68 had broken the Washington record of 42 held jointly by Killebrew and Roy Sievers, the A.L. champ in 1957.
In 1968, Howard, the Senators' 6-foot-7, 255-pound slugger, took an early lead in the home run race that he never relinquished. During a six-game steak from May 12 to 18, he blasted 10 round-trippers in 25 plate appearances. That's a record that 50 years later still stands. It was accomplished in a season so dominated by pitchers that the rules had to be changed to help hitters. The strike zone was reduced and the mound lowered for 1969.
The change had the desired effect, especially on a trio of A. L. sluggers: Howard, Killebrew and young Reggie Jackson of the A's. With four homers in the first three games, Howard got off to a fast start. He finished April with 8 HRs. Jackson had 6 and Killebrew 4. Reggie caught up with Hondo with 9 HRs in May. Both ended the month with 15. Killebrew had 10.
Jackson had a hot June, belting 14 homers to take the league lead with 29 over Howard's 24. Killebrew trailed with 18. Reggie belted three more homers in the A's July 2 game.
By the All-Star break, which began July 22, Jackson was up to 37 home runs; Howard had 34 and Killebrew had 28. Hondo homered before hometown fans at the All-Star game, played at RFK stadium.
On July 29, Reggie hit his 40th homer as Killebrew was hitting his 30th. Two days later, July 31, Howard hit his 35th. Jackson's torrid pace slowed down in August. He hit just five homers and began September with 45. Howard's seven August round-trippers gave him 42 by Sept. 1. Killebrew entered September with 38.
The last two months weren't kind to Jackson. His batting average, as high as .294 in early August, fell to .275 by season's end as hit .249 in August and September (and two games in October). Worse still, he hit just two homers in September. Number 46 came on Sept. 6, and more than two weeks passed before he connected again. Killebrew, meanwhile, had a strong September and an important game in October.
Howard tied Reggie for the league lead by hitting no. 46 on Sept. 10. But both Jackson's and Howard's bats went quiet for the next two weeks. Killebrew forged a three-way tie by blasting two homers on Sept. 21. The Twins slugger took the lead for the first time when he hit his 47th the next day. Jackson's final homer, on the 23rd, tied him for the lead a final time. It was back to a three-way tie the following day, Sept. 24, as Howard hit no. 47.
The three sluggers failed to homer on Sept. 25, but Killebrew connected for no. 48 on Sept. 26. Howard jumped back into a tie with no. 48, the most he ever hit in a season, on Sept. 29, but that would be it for 1969. Hondo went 0 for 5 in his final two games, although he walked three times.
The two sluggers remained tied as September ended. On Oct. 1, the next-to-last game of the regular season, Killebrew matched his career high when he hit no. 49. That gave him the last of his six home run titles, although had he and Howard tied, it would have been the second time he shared the crown.
Howard wasn't to be denied in 1970, however, His 44 homers topped Killebrew's 41. Hondo also led in RBIs in '70 for his first and only time. As it was, Hondo hit more home runs than anybody in either league in the five seasons from 1967 through 1971.
So was 1969 the tightest race for a league home run crown? By one standard – the no. 2 finisher one homer and the no. 3 finisher two homers behind the leader AND the total home runs hit by the three, the answer is YES. The 144 homers hit by Killebrew, Howard and Jackson topped the 138 hit by Albert Pujols (47), Prince Fielder (46) and Ryan Howard (45) in 2009, the closest another trio in the same year and league have come.
In 1948, 1960 and 2012, arguments could be made that those home run races — in years when the leader hit at least 40 homers — were just as close or closer, but for different reasons. (The tight races when the leader had fewer than 40 quite likely were attributable to fewer homers hit overall.)
Ralph Kiner and Johnny Mize tied for the N.L. lead in 1948 with 40 each. Stan Musial hit 39, his career best and the closest he came to a homer crown. In 1960, both leagues had races as tight as 1969. In the N.L., three Hall of Famers battled for the HR title. Ernie Banks hit 41, Hank Aaron hit 40 and Eddie Mathews hit 39. Mickey Mantle topped the A.L. with 40, teammate Roger Maris hit 39 and the Senators Jim Lemon hit 38.
In 2012, the A.L. race could be called the closest ever. Miguel Cabrera's 44 led the league. Right behind were Josh Hamilton and Curtis Granderson with 43 each. Next came Edwin Encarnacion with 42 and Adam Dunn with 41.
Yet 1969, by whatever standard and given the improvement of the team, has to be the most exciting home run race for fans of the expansion Nats.

Phil Neville will lead out England Women in front of a sold out Wembley Stadium as they face Germany. The Lionesses have struggled for form recently but will be aiming to bounce back
Phil Neville speaks at Pride of Britain Awards
Alex SmithFreelance sport reporter
England Women are expected to play in front of more than 80,000 at Wembley on Saturday for their international fixture with Germany.
It will be a landmark and record occasion for women's football in England, but the last time these two sides met under the arch, the visitors recorded a 3-0 win in 2014.
Neville's team have struggled for form since reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup and he discussed the journey for his squad to hit the pinnacle ahead of next year's Olympics and the 2021 Euros.
Phil Neville says his Lionesses are getting closer to the levels of professionalism he wants, but are 10 to 15 per cent away playing the football he views as perfect.

"They are getting up to the levels we have talked about in terms of professionalism that I want," Neville said.
"Back in the first six months it was 'I say, you do, I say, you do,' in terms of driving the culture. Now I've got the players and captains in particular that are driving the culture from within.
"I have taken a step back in terms of being that person that always drives things because ultimately from a learning point of view, it is better peer to peer telling each other what to do in terms of standards than me always driving that.

"From a playing point of view I still think we have got another 10 to 15 per cent to go from what I see as really perfect football and that is what we are working on and that is what I want to see."
When is the game?

Sarah Silverman on "compassion" and the allegations against Louis C.K., Al Franken, Aziz Ansari
May 23, 2018 / 4:07 PM / CBS News
Comedian Sarah Silverman has opened up about the misconduct allegations against her friends, Louis C.K., Al Franken and Aziz Ansari. Silverman talked to GQ and said, "Life is complicated," revealing that she still talks to C.K. and thinks of him as a "brother."
In the new interview, she said, "I don't have some definitive sound bite or nutshell of how I feel about it, even to myself. But I'm also okay with that." Silverman's own sister, Laura Silverman, was one of the women who said that C.K. masturbated in front of her.
Sarah Silverman said that she does not necessarily think C.K. should stay out of work forever. The "I Love You, America" host said, "I think that there are people who were caught and there were people who were not caught, but the important thing is that they are forever changed. And if that's the case, I don't see any reason why they can't continue being artists. Now, whether they're popular artists or not is up to the audience. I have compassion."
Louis C.K. says in statement sexual misconduct stories "are true"
Silverman also differentiated between people who own up to their mistakes and people who do not, saying, "There are people that just deny everything they're accused of and they continue to be the politicians or the filmmakers that they are. And there are people that come and say, 'I'm guilty of these things, and I'm wrong, and I want to be changed from this.' And yet those are the ones that kind of are excommunicated forever. He's my brother, so it's hard. I may not have a very clear perspective on it, but I'm trying to."

The comedian was even more defensive of former Sen. Al Franken, who resigned following several women's accusations and a photo of him grabbing at a broadcaster Leeann Tweeden's chest in what he said was a joking way. Silverman said, "He has no sexuality. I believe in my heart of heart of hearts he never copped a feel. The sketch, the whole Leeann Tweeden sketch, is online. You can see it for yourself. It's not funny, but it's innocuous." She continued, "I'm so sad that he got bullied into resigning, because all he loved in this world was being a senator and representing the people of Minnesota. I've never met a more pure person. On the show, you saw him kiss me on the lips. There is nothing sexual about it. He's a Jewish grandpa."
Al Franken resignation letter says tenure was "a privilege and an honor"
Silverman also revealed that she is still friends with Ansari, who was criticized over his conduct with a woman on a date. "Hopefully he's dealing with things, looking inward, and will blossom from it."
In December, on "CBS This Morning," Silverman also defended C.K. but acknowledged that he did "bad things." She also said of the wave of sexual harassment allegations, "I wanted to do it on my own show with my, in my own way. It is touching everyone's lives and from all sides. And just when you think you know all the answers and everything is black and white your perspective changes. And you know, that's gonna happen to a lot of people, maybe even everybody."

Q: Where to deploy a Sinatra application? What are the possibilities?
I know of Heroku, but I am not happy with it.
I am aware of Engineyard.
Any other alternatives?

A: You should consider one of the new breed Open PaaS (Such as CloudFoundry, OpenShift & Cloudify), these PaaS solutions as opposed to Heruko or EngineYard allow you to on board your own Sinatra application on any cloud.
Cloudify (which I'm one of its contributors) can on board Sinatra on any cloud, using a simple groovy based DSL recipes.

A: Although I have not tried it yet, VMWare's CloudFoundry initiative supports Sinatra. Bonus points for begin a free service, for the time being (while they are in beta).

A: There is AlwaysData (https://www.alwaysdata.com/) where I just have a free account but don't use it for Ruby.
They offer Ruby 1.9.2 and Passenger is available on demand.

Syria says Israel violated its airspace in raid on anti-aircraft unit
By Jon Dougherty • October 16, 2017
Tagged anti-air, Iran, israel, Syria
The Syrian government is complaining that Israeli warplanes violated the country's airspace during a sortie to destroy an anti-aircraft unit near the capital of Damascus.
Israeli officials, meanwhile, countered that some of its planes that were conducting a surveillance mission were first fired upon by Syrian anti-air batteries while they were in Lebanese airspace. The Israel Defense Force said none of the planes were struck by a single anti-aircraft missile.
According to a statement from Damascus, "The aircraft of Israel's Air Force violated [Syria's] airspace near the border with Lebanon in the Baalbek area at 08:51 a.m. local time (05:51 GMT)" and therefore were attacked by the Syrian air defense systems. The statement also claimed that "one of the planes was hit, which forced the aircraft to leave."
It's believed to be the first time since the Syria civil war began in 2011 that Israeli warplanes were targeted by Syrian government anti-air batteries, according to Israeli officials.
Analyst comment: Syria is rump state at the moment and the last thing it needs is to pick a fight with Israel. That said, the Israelis are well aware that, under the cover of Moscow's and Damascus' forces, Iran is moving in to fill a power vacuum left in the border regions after six years of war. Look for Israel to continue harassing and interdicting Iranian and Syrian efforts to encroach on its borders.

The late, great Pope John Paul II said, "As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live."
John Paul's remarks are similar to a phrase commonly used to describe the predictive nature of Maine politics: "As Maine goes, so goes the nation."
Undoubtedly, the 200,000 Maine Catholics will be an important voting bloc on Question 1. I have fully examined my Catholic conscience and the legacy of John Paul II. Subsequently, I will be voting "yes" on Question 1. I would strongly encourage Maine Catholics to do the same.
Pope John Paul was recognized for his intellectual and theological works on various subjects. Notably, John Paul II authored encyclicals on human sexuality, marriage and the family. We, as a Catholic community, should not be coaxed by a political party, interest group or the opinions of wayward Catholics to defy Pope John Paul II's legacy.
Amidst the false claims of "intolerance" and "hate" and the shame they are meant to induce, Catholics need to heed and recall John Paul's popular refrain — "Be not afraid." John Paul epitomized the (St.) Augustian notion of both charity and unity. Catholics should be and can be charitable toward all while remaining unified in opposition to gay marriage.
Pope John II wrote and spoke elegantly regarding the sanctity of marriage as a matter of faith and policy. He also spoke about the dignity of the individual. The notion of gay marriage and the pseudo-science of transgenderism are in direct intellectual opposition to his teachings.
So on Nov. 3, heed the call of Pope John Paul II and vote "yes" on Question 1. To do so is neither intolerant nor uncharitable. Ironically, Catholics in Maine will have the opportunity on Nov. 3 to preserve his legacy.

Dan Held, co-founder of Interchange and ZeroBlock, published an article in Medium on 4 October in which he explains why the initial distribution of bitcoins is so far the fairest within the entire ecosystem.
According to Held "Satoshi set out to design the fairest possible system". Unlike the projects where the pre-mining of crypto coins is carried out, Held explains the tests that confirm that Satoshi did not pre-mine and that, in addition, he placed Bitcoin's open source so that anyone could easily mine at its inception, without the need for high processing power. He also points out that the day after the release of Bitcoin's code, Hal Finney, the pioneer of this technology, had already begun mining bitcoins.
Similarly, among other proofs that there were no pre-mined blocks is the message included in the first block of the Bitcoin chain, known as the Genesis block, which states that "It was different from all other blocks (there was no previous block for reference) and required a custom code to extract it.
Held points out that two months passed between the publication of the technical document and the launch of Bitcoin's first software. In addition, he explains that the time stamps on the blocks after the Genesis block also show that Satoshi Nakamoto did not intend to be the only one to mine the first blocks of Bitcoin.
In addition, he emphasizes that Satoshi mined bitcoins because of the need for a miner for the network, and that once the network stabilized, he stopped operations. He states that he "reduced his hashrate % slowly and steadily".
With respect to the crypto coins that Satoshi may have obtained, Held relies on a BitMEX investigation and claims that there is "a high probability that he was the miner who minted about ~700,000" (crypto coins).
The first pioneers were crazy enough to take the financial, temporary and social risks to participate in the Bitcoin project, keeping it alive and acting as referees to the system at its inception.
In his publication, Held also refutes claims that Bitcoin is a fraudulent investment system. To do so, he relies on three aspects of the peer to peer system that make the difference: transparency, usability and never promised returns on investment.
The market's determination of what a Bitcoin is worth has nothing to do with the biggest fools that enter the system, but a subsequent effect of its true value proposition, which it already had, even when it was worthless.
As far as investment returns are concerned, he points out that the original Bitcoin document never spoke of generating profits, as do the scams that promise high yields and where the first to enter are those who create capital from the entrance of new participants, creating a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. He points out that among the first bitcoiners many of them lost their coins, while others sold them.
Held highlights Satoshi's human character by pointing out that he was not an infallible being, but points out that he carried out the fairest possible distribution of the first bitcoins. For this reason, in his opinion, it is "intellectually dishonest" to compare it with the Initial Coin Offerings, the most popular method of collective financing in the blockchain ecosystem, which in many cases has ended in scams.
Satoshi wanted to make everyone aware that Bitcoin was not a scam. The conservative downsizing of his contributions to mining, his exit from the community, without spending any of his coins, nor using his influence for any purpose, shows that he wanted the world to decide for his project and judge it on its own terms.
Along with Bitcoin, it can be said that there are few projects in the ecosystem that did not start with ICO. Such is the case of Litecoin, in which there were no advantages that favored some miners over another.
In addition, there are other projects where a pre-mining process has taken place, such as Dash, or where the founders have concentrated a large part of these cryptos, such as Ripple and XRP.
On the other hand, projects such as Ethereum did carry out an ICO and is currently in second place as far as market capitalization is concerned. However, the ICOs do not always have a happy ending: there are many cases in which they ended up in scams.
But, as Held closed its publication, "Unlike all the other founders of history, Satoshi never got paid" and probably there is no other project with a distribution of the crypto currencies with the same conditions as happened in Bitcoin, when a cryptocurrency was worth nothing, but what was sought was to encourage the adoption of a new economic system between peers.

Tesla Reports 3rd Quarter Loss; More Model 3 Delays
Tesla Inc. announced further delays this week on the new Model 3 sedan. The delay is now at three months and the company said there were solid developments when around fixing the bottleneck in production, however it's been hard to predict when all issues would be rectified.
In further bad news for Tesla, it reported its largest-ever quarterly loss, plummeting shares by close to five percent.
Autoblog reported that Tesla's CEO Elon Musk expects the 5,000 Model 3s to be built weekly by the end of the first quarter in 2018. The date originally for this was December of this year. It seems the main issue in production is the battery module assembly, as Tesla had to redesign the process around production for that area.
And Tesla's long-term sustainability is now dependent on the new Model 3 sedan, which will cost about $35,000; half the price tag of the company's Model S. The automaker has plans to produce 500,000 cars come 2018, a majority of those being Model 3s, which is an increase of six-fold when it comes to 2016 levels; it made a mere 260 units of this new sedan in the third quarter of this year, due to the production bottlenecks listed above.
At the end of the day, delays in production mean delays in sales; not to mention having about 500,000 uneasy clients who have already put down (refundable) deposits and are waiting for their new vehicles.
On top of that, the company announced a net loss of over $619 million in the third quarter, versus the over $21 million profit announced at the same time last year. Revenue increase by 30% to well over $2 billion. The company also stated that as of September 30th, it had $3.53 billion in cash/cash-equivalents, versus the $3.04 billion it had last year at around this same time.
It has been reported that last month Tesla delivered 26,150 cars in the third quarter, a 4.5% increase when compared to the same time last year. Unfortunately, the Model 3's production issues have left the company staggering a bit and has taken some momentum from the new sedan's release.

Civil Rights, Social Action, and Advocacy
Fiscal Sponsorship Organizations
Location : Name
Matahari Women Workers' Center
Founded in 2002, Matahari Women Workers' Center (www.mataharijustice.org) is a Greater Boston community based social justice organization of women and families working to end gender violence and exploitation. We aim to develop the leadership of women who are directly impacted by and have survived gender violence and exploitation by means of domestic or sexual violence, labor trafficking, and wage theft; and to address the root causes of social injustices that women face. The core of our work is grassroots leadership development and the empowerment of women workers and their families to change laws and conditions that impact us. Our mission is to work to end gender violence and exploitation. Matahari is a fiscally sponsored organization of TSNE (www.tsne.org).
Through an exciting and innovative collaboration, Matahari is partnering with One Fair Wage to anchor the campaign in Massachusetts to unite behind the shared commitment to abolish subminimum wages for all workers. The OneFairWage campaign seeks to lift millions of tipped and subminimum wage workers nationally out of poverty by requiring all employers to pay the full minimum wage ("One Fair Wage") with fair, non-discriminatory tips on top.
ABOUT ONE FAIR WAGE
The One Fair Wage campaign is a national campaign to eliminate the subminimum wage for 6 million tipped and other subminimum wage workers across the country through state and federal law. Originally founded by the Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, a national restaurant workers' organization, as the majority of tipped workers work in restaurants, the campaign has spun off into a broader, separate entity that is fighting for a full, fair wage for all tipped and subminimum wage workers, including tipped delivery workers and drivers at app-based companies. Today, One Fair Wage legislation is moving multiple states and in Congress.
Matahari seeks an energetic, self-directed, reliable, and creative Community Organizer ("the Organizer") to organize tipped workers (such as restaurant, nail salon, and uber/Lyft workers) to win policy that eliminates subminimum wages. This position is a full-time (37.5 hours/week), non-benefitted, a three-month term with an immediate start date. Upon completion, there is potential for a full-time, benefitted position. The majority of work is done remotely with periodic socially distanced meetings and mobilizations. This position will report to the Lead Organizer.
The Organizer will bring together restaurant and other tipped workers and their representatives and allies to demand One Fair Wage policy that aims to eliminate subminimum wages in the state of Massachusetts. The Organizer will work with tipped worker leaders and local organizations that represent them to conduct outreach, leadership development, and mobilization of tipped workers in support of the One Fair Wage policy campaigns in MA, as well as represent One Fair Wage to other allies and funders.
Develop plan for texting or phone banking tipped workers from our database of over 10,000 workers, activating member leaders and volunteers as needed to build the base
Phone bank, email, and use broadcast messaging, and peer-to-peer texting to engage tipped workers in organizing and mobilization efforts
Develop committee of restaurant and other tipped workers that will lead strategy and actions in the fight for One Fair Wage
Supporting individuals who want to take leadership in the One Fair Wage campaign and work individually with emerging leaders to develop their skills
Working with worker-leaders to plan, carry out, community actions and events, including knowing your rights training, virtual town halls, etc...
Mobilization: Organize public demonstrations related to corporate and elected targets to demonstrate worker power to win One Fair Wage -- at times as part of nationally coordinated plan.
Campaign Coordination: Lead and re-engage the local coalition of organizations representing various tipped worker sectors, support the development and implementation of a legislative targeting strategy, and support local press events and other communications efforts, and more. Some lobbying.
Assist in translation of outreach and training materials and occasional meeting and event interpretation
Support communications and online presence by creating simple graphics, copywriting and translation
We will consider exceptional candidates who demonstrate a strong combination of the specific qualifications and skills described below.
At least 2 years of organizing experience (organizing experience with immigrants/communities of color preferred and experience with the restaurant industry preferred) and strong skills in organizing practices, including 1-1 meetings, outreach, agitation and engagement, and leadership development.
Strongly preferred: Bilingual in English and Spanish, Portuguese, or Haitian Kreyol
Agreement and alignment with Matahari's purpose and values, understanding of issues facing low-wage workers, immigrant communities, and other communities of color;
Excellent communication, facilitation, and organizational skills;
Ability to work independently as well as in a team;
Ability to work flexible hours, including nights and weekends
Proficient technology skills, particularly with social media (facebook), databases (EveryAction), Google Apps (Drive, Gmail, Docs, etc...), Zoom, webinar and chat tools. Familiarity with peer-to-peer texting preferred.
TSNE/Matahari Women Workers' Center envisions a society grounded in the principles of social and economic justice. As such, we strive to achieve excellence through a diverse and inclusive workplace that honors the unique talents and lived experiences of each person. Our vision and values are reflected in all our employment-related decisions, including hiring practices. Accordingly, TSNE actively seeks people who bring diverse backgrounds and perspectives to join us in our work.
As an EOE/AA employer, TSNE/Matahari will not discriminate in its employment practices due to an applicant's race, color, religion, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, sexual orientation, gender identification, genetic information, veteran or disability status or any other factor prohibited by law.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

Can your soil hold nutrients effectively?
From the Sectormentor for Soils team, this is the fifth of a twelve part series called 'Know your Soils'. The series includes practical tips for monitoring soil health and simple tests you can do on your land, in the form of videos and fact sheets. This resource, linked above, shares a test for assessing how good your soil is at holding onto precious nutrients and what you can do to prevent them from washing away with the rain. The test is explained in a video from the 'Learning from the Land' series created by Catchment Sensitive Farming and Innovation for Agriculture. In the video, Matthew Shepherd, Soil Biodiversity Specialist for Natural England, explains how to do the test step by step. In addition to the video, the resource shares an equipment list for the test and advice on how to improve the capacity of the soil for holding onto vital nutrients.
Positively charged nutrients like ammonia, potassium and magnesium are held in the soil like a sponge, as they stick to clay and organic matter particles. The better soil is at holding onto these nutrients, the more they will be available for plants.
In the test performed in the video, grassland soil is found to be better at holding onto positively charged nutrients than arable soil.
Negatively charged nutrients like phosphate or nitrate are washed through the soil unless there is a living root to take them up.
Follow the 6 soil health principles to ensure healthy soil and reduce nutrient loss with water run off: living roots, covered soil, minimised disturbance, diversity, feed soils, incorporate animals, minimise chemicals and synthetics.

Angela Merkel Named TIME Magazine's Person Of The Year
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been crowned TIME's 'Person of the Year' for 2015 – the first woman to win the award since 1986 and only the fourth to win since its conception in 1936.
TIME said Merkel was a deserved winner for her work in Europe, saving Greece from its debt burden, her humanitarian response to the Syrian refugee crisis and her handling of the ongoing Russian-Ukraine crisis.
Interestingly, the other finalists for the Award arguably didn't come with Merkel's pedigree. They included Donald Trump, ISIS' leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
Former winners of the title include Hitler, Stalin, Ghandi, Churchill and Nixon. Last year's cover stars were medics fighting the Ebola outbreak in western Africa.
TIME's editor Nancy Gibbs said of Merkel's win: "Leaders are tested only when people don't want to follow," Time editor Nancy Gibbs said in a statement issued Wednesday. "For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is Time's Person of the Year."

An ISPOR Outcomes Research Textbook for the HEOR Professional
ISPOR Taxonomy of Patient Registries: Classification, Characteristics, and Terms
What exactly is a patient registry? How is it different from a randomized controlled trial? Who are the stakeholders in patient registries? What do you do about missing data? How do you ensure quality?
The "ISPOR Taxonomy of Patient Registries: Classification, Characteristics, and Terms" demystifies the world of patient registries by providing a working definition and describing distinguishing characteristics of a patient registry. It also defines terms used in the design, development, and implementation of registries and the terms used in the analysis, reporting and publishing of registry data. Each term includes a brief definition, a broader explanation, the associated values and uses, and concludes with a discussion of issues or conflicts related to the term.
The taxonomy's terminology sections provide an overview of patient registries from start to finish, leading the reader chronologically through the process of registry design, development, and implementation. Terminology on registry data is organized similarly with initiation of the analysis plan through reporting and dissemination of registry-based studies. In this manner the reader will understand all the steps involved and be able to better plan registry development and research. The taxonomy will contribute to standardizing the language used in the patient registry field and improve registry development and research.
The ISPOR Patient Registry Special Interest Group developed this book for healthcare professionals, students, decision makers, and outcomes researchers.
