The best college sports traditions you've (maybe) never heard of
5 game-day college football traditions
You've probably heard of Howard's Rock at Clemson, the dotting of the "i" at Ohio State, and the Sooner Schooner at Oklahoma.
Here are some of the best game-day college sports traditions that you've (maybe) never heard of.
Clemson and the $2 bill
If the Clemson Tigers are paying your favorite football team a visit, you'll more than likely see an influx of $2 bills around town. But not just any old $2 bill. These would have an orange tiger paw (Clemson's logo) stamped onto the front.
The story goes like this. Georgia Tech dropped Clemson from its football schedule in 1977 when The Tigers weren't the football power they are today. Their annual trip to Atlanta was something that fans and coaches looked forward to.
WEEK 4: Top games, what to watch, rankings in college football
To protest this decision, Clemson fans attending the 1977 game spent $2 bills in and around Atlanta. The idea was to show the city how much of an impact the Tigers had on the local economy.
The Tiger-stamped bills made their debut at the 1978 Gator Bowl. Over 40 years later, Clemson fans still bring them along on road trips.
🗣 Hey California! Wondering what's up with those Tiger Paw-stamped $2 bills?
We've got you covered 👇
Here's a list of our #Clemson traditions 👉 https://t.co/EzMUNQDy6m pic.twitter.com/vLQWMUg56J

Tortillas and Texas Tech
During last year's national championship game between Texas Tech and Virginia, someone threw a tortilla onto the court. It turns out there's a story behind that.
According to EverythingLubbock.com, the tradition began during a football game at Clifford B. & Audrey Jones Stadium in 1989. A concession stand sold 44 oz. mugs of Coca-Cola with a lid on top. Students then took those lids and flung them onto the field.

The lids were gone by the next home game. And the tortillas made their first appearance at the very next one. It has been a staple of Texas Tech's student section ever since.
Trine's helicopter
The Thunder are a Division III football program that represents Trine University in Angola, Ind. With an enrollment of just under 5,000, it is the largest of nine schools in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA).
As recently as 2016, a helicopter would fly over Fred Zollner Athletic Stadium and deliver the game ball at the 50-yard-line.

The tradition hasn't occurred since that year, but the stadium's website still notes that a helicopter delivery is part of the game-day atmosphere. Trine begins its home schedule Sept. 21.
Helicopter or not, a man wearing a Trine football jersey did parachute onto the field prior to a game in 2017.
Pennsylvania's "Toast to dear old Penn"
Hurling food into the air is also an annual occurrence at the University of Pennsylvania.
Penn.com reports that when the band plays "Drink A Highball" at the end of the third quarter, students at Franklin Field throw toast onto the playing surface. And a lot of it. There's even a "toast Zamboni" that was created to help clean up the mess.
WINNER WINNER: College football's 9 winningest teams
According to Penn's website, this tradition dates back to the 1970s when alcohol was banned at the stadium. Since the students could no longer share a toast of spirits, they had to improvise.
Bread replaced beer, and loaves of it were thrown once the song closed with the lyrics, "Here's a toast to dear old Penn."
Central Michigan and Western Michigan's cannons
ROTC students shoot off a cannon anytime the Central Michigan Chippewas score. The cannon, which was originally behind a hill outside of the stadium, was moved inside to Kelly Shorts Stadium in 2001.
Roughly 150 miles southwest at Waldo Stadium, the Western Michigan Broncos also fire a cannon during their football games.

— #MACtion (@MACSports) October 20, 2018
The Chippewas and Broncos first met in 1907. But it wasn't until 2008 that a trophy was created for this Mid-American Conference rivalry, one that was aptly named the Victory Cannon.
Nebraska's red balloons
Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. is nicknamed "The Sea of Red." But after the Huskers score their first touchdown of the game, that "sea" quickly becomes a sky of red.
In a sight that would make Pennywise jealous, thousands of red balloons are released into the air.
Like many of the other traditions on this list, the origins of this practice aren't entirely clear.
Don Bryant, Nebraska's sports information director from 1962 to 1993, told the Lincoln Journal Star in 2012 that the balloons have been a fixture since the 1940s. But according to The Daily Nebraskan, the earliest recorded balloon release was in 1963.
Regardless of when the balloons first showed up, their presence has not been without controversy. The student body considered banning them altogether and put it up to a vote in March 2019.
Thanks to a 51.9 percent majority, the sky above Memorial Stadium will remain as red as the sea.
The "prisoner exchange" before the Army-Navy game
Prior to the annual Army-Navy football game, a "prisoner exchange" takes place at midfield. But these aren't prisoners of war. They're not even prisoners at all.
The students, rather, are actually participating in a ceremony for the Service Academy Exchange Program. They are "exchanged" back to their own academy, after spending a semester at a different one.
In 2018, fourteen students (seven cadets and seven midshipmen) took part in the ceremony.
Taylor University's Silent Night
The Taylor Trojans represent Taylor University, an NAIA school in Upland, Ind.
Every year, the final home game to fall on a Friday before exams is chosen as Silent Night. Students come dressed in every costume imaginable. Think Halloween but for young adults. After packing the arena, they're completely silent until Taylor scores its 10th point.
It's that moment when total chaos ensues.
Once the madness subsides and play is resumed, the students return to their seats and sing a rendition of "Silent Night" together.
The origins of this tradition can be traced to the late 1980s.
Jay Kesler, who was Taylor's president at the time, came to the last basketball game before exams in 1988 while wearing his pajamas. Students wore their pajamas the next year. Then in 1997, they didn't make a sound until the Trojans scored their 10th point, and the student section promptly exploded.
Nobody knows why.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL 150: Notable firsts and milestones in the sport's history
The idea came from a student, who told Kesler that his high school had a tradition where'd they act disinterested in the game before going berzerk at a predetermined time.
"He wanted to know if we could do something like that here," Kesler told The Indianaoplis Star in 2014. "I said sure."
Kesler doesn't remember the student's name, and he never learned the significance (if any) of why this happens after the Trojans reach 10 points.

Războiul Laponiei (Finlandeză: Lapin sota; Germană: Lapplandkrieg; Suedeză: Lapplandskriget) a fost războiul dus în Laponia, provincie din nordul Finlandei, între Finlanda și Germania Nazistă între septembrie 1944 și aprilie 1945, care s-a soldat cu retragerea Germaniei.

Deși finlandezii și germanii luptaseră împotriva Uniunii Sovietice din 1941 în timpul Războiului de Continuare (1941-1944), negocierile de pace fuseseră deja purtate cu intermitențe în perioada 1943-1944 între Finlanda, Aliații Occidentali și URSS, dar niciun acord nu fusese încheiat. Armistițiul de la Moscova, semnat la 19 septembrie 1944, a cerut Finlandei să rupă legăturile diplomatice cu Germania și să expulzeze sau să dezarmeze soldații germani care au rămas în Finlanda după 15 septembrie 1944.

Wehrmacht-ul anticipase această întorsătură a evenimentelor și plănuise o retragere organizată în Norvegia ocupată de germani, ca parte a Operațiunii Birke (Mesteacăn). În ciuda unei operațiuni de aterizare ofensivă eșuată a Germaniei în Golful Finlandei, evacuarea a decurs pașnic la început. Finlandezii au escaladat situația în război la 28 septembrie, după presiunea sovietică de a adera la termenii armistițiului. Armata finlandeză a fost solicitată de Uniunea Sovietică să demobilizeze și să urmărească trupele germane până părăsesc pământul finlandez. După o serie de bătălii minore, războiul s-a încheiat efectiv în noiembrie 1944, când trupele germane au ajuns în Norvegia sau în vecinătatea ei și au luat poziții fortificate. Ultimii soldați germani au părăsit Finlanda la 27 aprilie 1945, cu puțin timp înainte de sfârșitul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial în Europa.

Finlandezii considerau războiul un conflict separat, deoarece ostilitățile cu alte națiuni încetaseră după Războiul de Continuare. Din perspectiva germană, a făcut parte din cele două campanii de evacuare din nordul Finlandei și nordul Norvegiei. Implicarea sovietică în război a echivalat cu monitorizarea operațiunilor finlandeze, sprijin aerian minor și intrarea în nord-estul Laponiei în timpul ofensivei Petsamo-Kirkenes. Impactul militar a fost relativ limitat, ambele părți înregistrând în jur de 4.000 de victime, deși amânarea tacticilor pământului pârjolit și de plasare în retragere a minelor terestre ale germanilor au devastat Laponia finlandeză. Wehrmacht-ul s-a retras cu succes, iar Finlanda și-a respectat obligațiile în temeiul armistițiului de la Moscova, dar a rămas oficial în război cu Uniunea Sovietică și Regatul Unit până la ratificarea Tratatului de pace de la Paris din 1947.

This is used in EFT treatments to give the practitioner and the client a conscious awareness and way to know if there have been any changes in the feelings as the round progresses, and/or from one EFT treatment round to the other.
The SUD Scale Has Been Replaced By The SUE Scale Effective November 2011.
Please note that the SUD scale ends with the "zero point of peace". In order to complete a full EFT treatment, one needs to go beyond that into POSITIVE emotions. See also Energized EFT.
The possibility and the necessity to go beyond the zero point of feeling nothing is unique to energy work as the traditional psychology instrument of the SUD scale which was inherited from medicine/physiology stopped at 0.
To bring about a "healing event" the opposite of the existing problem needs to come into being, and it does so reliably and easily when we improve the energy flow through the body.
A more complex version of the SUDs scale is the EI scale - scale of emotional intensity which goes from 100 - 0 and deals with multiple different emotions. See Advanced Patterns of EFT.
Since the onset of EMO, we use now the SUE scale instead of the SUDs scale.
SUE stands for "subjective units of experience" and goes from -10 (describing a trauma experience of the highest order) to +10 which describes an enlightenment experience or Guiding Star.
A lot of problems are due to conjunctions between trauma and Guiding star, so the SUE scale gives a better reading of what intense emotions are at play.
Further, as in energy work we are always improving the flow of energy, it is of the essence to go beyond "feeling nothing" and into the real energized end states which are on the positive wing of the SUE scale.
Using the SUE Scale to significantly enhance the practice of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques is taught in the new EFT Master Practitioner Training and Energy EFT book by Silvia Hartmann.

Many MLSs have already engaged in this discussion as a show of support.
What Happens If My Local MLS Refuses to Engage?
Nothing. It is most likely that some progressive local MLSs will lead the adoption of some if not all of the improvements developed by the participating firms in the Greater Southern MLS initiative. It is possible that a local MLS may refuse. Brokers have many choices for MLS services today and are free to choose to participate in one or more MLSs.
What Happens if None of Our Local MLSs Engage?
We believe that this is very unlikely, however, it is possible. In this event, the founding brokers may choose to establish a new MLS. It is too early to tell if a new MLS alternative is warranted.
How Did the Name Greater Southern MLS get chosen?
The founding firms picked the name as a working name. The company name offers a broad canvas for regional brand appeal. The name may change along with the logo, website, or anything else that has been developed for the group thus far. These are considerations for the participating firms and the eventual board of managers.
Where is the Greater Southern MLS office?
The office of the company's attorney is the mailing address for the company. Southern MLS LLC does not have a physical office, nor does it have any employees.
What about if I am not interested in selling in another part of the state?
Greater Southern MLS's vision does not only apply to those that want to sell in other parts of the state. It also helps those that want greater access to data around the state as well as more listing exposure and lead generation.

Last night, an amazing thing happened at Oliver's Carriage House, the beautiful building in the heart of Columbia which is home to the Kittamaqundi Community. Thirty-nine people sat in a circle and had a respectful and thoughtful conversation about the proposed nuclear deal with Iran. Information was presented in a clear, straightforward way by a person with deep knowledge of the issue. He was clear that he is an advocate for the deal but did not belittle those with opposing views. People listened well and asked excellent questions. I think it is safe to say that everyone left feeling better equipped to talk to other people, including their elected representatives, about the issue.
It felt like a miracle. The debate around this deal has become so heightened, so ugly, that it is tearing groups apart, especially within the American Jewish community. It has become a favorite talking point for several Republican presidential candidates who have vowed to nullify the deal on their first day in office. Not a single Republican Senator or Representative has come out in favor of the deal and the debate in Congress promises to be ugly. But last night, Jews and Christians, Republicans and Democrats, friends and strangers all sat down and thought it through together.
I noticed something last night--It felt safe enough in the room last night to ask really basic questions. When did the sanctions against Iran start? Who imposed them? Who, exactly, conducts inspections? How, exactly, do you dispose of uranium?
When politicians or advocates are debating each other in print or on television, they whiz past questions like these. Those of us listening are left with a sense of vague sense that we don't really know enough to form an opinion of our own. So we walk away and give up, or just side with our favorite politician and argue incoherently with the other side.
Which brings me to affordable housing in Howard County.
I have lived in this county for ten years. Since we first arrived, there has been public discussion of the re-development of downtown Columbia. The inclusion of housing for people from a range of income levels has been a part of those plans from very early on. Now that redevelopment is underway, one thing that is noticeably absent is affordable housing. Why is that--and what can we do to make sure that affordable housing does in fact get built?
I have been trying to understand what's happening with these issues for almost a year now. I have been to County Council meetings and PATH meetings. I have talked to developers and advocates who I know. I've had an extended email conversation with my brother-in-law who is a professor of real estate economics. I admit I have very little background in real estate or housing policy, but I am not a dumb person and after all my study I still can't figure out why the first plan for affordable housing downtown didn't work and what is the best way to go forward.
Perhaps this is a clear indication that housing policy should be left to the experts. But this issue has a big impact on my life and my community, so I want to weigh in. I don't want to just stand by the side of the road and hold up a sign (been there, done that). I want to know what I'm talking about. And for all the meetings and public forums I've been to on this issue, there has been very, very little public education about what kinds of tools are currently in use in this country to provide a broad spectrum of housing options within a community.
Time for another community conversation at Oliver's Carriage House?

Latest BEST of the best
Poet's Word second only to Winx in latest world rankings
Poet's Word (far side) and Crystal Ocean dominate the finish of last month's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot
Alan Crowhurst
By Graham Dench 5:54PM, AUG 9 2018
King George winner Poet's Word is second only to Australian wondermare Winx in the latest Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings, in which no fewer than four of the top six positions are held by British-trained runners.
The panel have awarded the Sir Michael Stoute-trained five-year-old an interim mark of 129, the same as Pegasus World Cup winner Gun Runner, who is now at stud, the pair figuring just a pound behind Winx.
Stablemate Crystal Ocean, beaten a neck by Poet's Word at Ascot, is fourth-best on 128, clear of Cracksman and Battaash, who share fifth on 125. Alpha Centauri is the highest rated Irish-trained runner on 122, in joint 13th.
Former BHA head of handicapping Phil Smith, co-chairman of the Longines committee, could not recall an occasion when Britain was so well represented and reckons it could get even better.
He said: "It's certainly unusual to have four in the top six, but last year was a very good year too, with three of the top six in the final table – Cracksman on 130, Enable on 129, and Ulysses on 126.
Battaash: could rate higher when the figures are finalised, reckons Phil Smith
Alan Crowhurst/Getty Images
"These new figures are just continuing an upwards trend, and I think it could get better because I'd be surprised if Poet's Word, Crystal Ocean and Battaash don't all rate a bit higher after we've got together to finalise the figures in Hong Kong in December.
"There's also hope that Cracksman can get close to last year's 130 when he returns to action, and we haven't even seen Enable yet."
There are significant differences between these latest Longines figures and the most recently published BHA ratings, which show Poet's Word and Crystal Ocean a pound higher, and Battaash 2lb higher.
Smith explained: "These are interim figures arrived at by up to 20 international handicappers via email and text but without discussion.
"In December there is an opportunity to present a case, which is then voted upon, and those figures will be adopted by the BHA at the end of the year."

Which bath bombs are safe?
September 1, 2021 Comments Off on Which bath bombs are safe?	By admin
With the holiday season rapidly approaching, many people are opting to spend their days enjoying the beach and their holidays instead of taking the plunge into the toxic bath bombs and other toxic chemicals.
However, if you are worried about your health or are taking precautions, it's important to remember that the bath bombs we see in Australian cinemas and on the internet are not safe.
"Bath bombs have a history of being used in the United States and Europe, but they've been around for hundreds of years," says Anne Lehrman, a toxicologist and research director at the Australian National University's Institute of Forensic Sciences.
"What you'll find in many cases is a chemical reaction that happens at very high temperatures and can cause harm to the human body."
This is because the pyrotechnics involved in bath bombs include ammonium nitrate, which can react with the human skin to form highly toxic chemicals that can be passed on to the environment.
"There are many different types of bath bombs that have been around over the years, but in this particular case, we have a mixture of the two," says Lehrmann.
"The pyrotechanics involved are ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate, which has been used in some of the bath bomb attacks over the last hundred years."
In fact, many bath bombs have an incendiary component that can burn the human tissue.
"They do not produce any flames," she says.
""If you want to be safe, take precautions and don't use any of these bath bombs." "
Lehrmans team analysed bath bombs sold in cinemas across Australia and found that most of them had a very small quantity of ammonium phosphate. "
"If you want to be safe, take precautions and don't use any of these bath bombs.
"But, if there's a concern about the pyrolysis of the chemicals, take them out of the package." "
If you have any concern about a bath bombing, take some extra care," she advises.
"But, if there's a concern about the pyrolysis of the chemicals, take them out of the package."
So if you're worried about what you'll see on the screen or in your bath, you may want to check the packaging.
"It's important for people to take these precautions because it can be extremely difficult to determine the exact concentration of the pyrethroids in the product," Lehrms team says.
It's also important to keep an eye on the pyrography of the product you buy.
If you buy one of these products, you should make sure the pyrometer is calibrated to the correct pH level and not to the incorrect one.
"Be sure to check your pyrometers and keep them in the fridge," Lehlmans advises.
If the pyrodynamics are not within the recommended range, you might want to ask the company to test for their pyrocyanide content.
It is known that the pyrolite can be a dangerous product.
"We do recommend using a pyrolysol test, which is a water-soluble test that can measure pyrophyrene," says Dr Andrew Gough, a chemist at the University of Queensland's School of Chemistry.
"A pyroglycine test is a non-toxic test that measures the pyrophosphate content of a sample.
It can give us an indication of the chemical composition of the material."
You may also want to take a look at the label of the products you're buying to see what the pyrogenic value is.
"Pyrogenic values are an indication that a pyrometric sample is at an excess of pyrogenes," says Gough.
"For example, if it's the pyrene content that's the highest, then you'd want to buy a high pyrovaleronium pyrosynthetic pyrotech."

"So, if a bath toy is not at the pyroxene/pyrogenic/hydrogen content that it claims, then there's probably something wrong with the pyrosene and pyrogenates," says George Dutton, an Australian Toxicologist and researcher at the Centre for Bioaccumulation of Toxic Substances and Environmental Contamination, and a former director of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
"You may want it tested for a pyrogenicity level, which will give you an indication as to how high a pyrotechoic content you are seeing.
If it's below that, then that might indicate something is wrong."
In some cases, pyrotecks will be labelled with the word "flammable" instead of "pyrolytic".
"In Australia, we generally don't see pyroteks labelled with any sort of flammable chemical," says

What's in your milkshake and why is it called a "bird bath"?
August 19, 2021 Comments Off on What's in your milkshake and why is it called a "bird bath"?	By admin
In the past year, some restaurants have started to offer bird baths to patrons.
In January, the owner of the West Shore Beach Bar in Vancouver opened a bird bath for customers, and it's become a popular place to take a bath.
But what is a birdbath?
Bird baths are not water fountains, but rather a series of metal cylinders with a hole in the center that hold water.
The water comes from a tank or a faucet, and the water is piped into a metal tube, which is then filled with a liquid that's called milk.
Bird baths can be used to treat skin conditions like eczema, arthritis and more.
"We've been doing this for a few years," said owner Dan O'Connor.
"You can actually see the birds."
Bird baths also offer an opportunity for some visitors to see some of the local birds that are on the beach, including ducks, geese and other birds.
"I love the birds, I love the beach," said Erin Burt, a tourist from New York.
"It's an interesting place to be."
The idea for the Birdbath came from an article on the internet in 2015, which detailed the benefits of using bird baths for skin conditions, eczemas, and other skin issues.
In the article, a doctor explained that while birds do provide a good source of fresh air, they also need some protection from the elements.
"They're not like a fountain of fresh water," the doctor said.
"There are times when you're in the rain, you can have a nice splash and it can get damp, and then you can get a little bit of an itch or something.
Birds also like to swim.
So you get a few of those, and you have an additional source of air."
The article also described how to make bird baths from a number of materials and supplies, including wood, paper, a plastic bowl, a metal tub, and a metal showerhead.
In addition, O'Brien said, there's also a website for the site, where he offers bird baths as a service.
He says he also offers bird bathing at other locations around the Vancouver area.
The owner of West Shore Bar is also offering a bird shower, which uses a metal bucket instead of a fountain.
"The reason we've been open is because we like to see them," said O'Connors owner.
"If they're happy, we can help them."

Fall florals can work for most people's styles – the key is to pair it with things that you already own and love. I love to toughen up the look by pairing it with darker denim, leather jackets or leggings and booties. Here are some of my favourite fall floral looks this season.
What is your favourite way to rock fall florals? Let me know in the comment section below!
Although my personal style is quite casual, I have always loved a good pants suit. Maybe it's because my mum is very particular about dressing professionally and wore a blazer to work almost every single day, but there is something about a great suit that gets me every time. I was understandably thrilled when pants suits began trending again. For a while there, ill fitting, dull coloured suits were the only options that most women had unless they were willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money, but now the tide has thankfully changed.
I love the fact that over the past few years people have thrown caution to the wind and included white in their post Labour day wardrobe. From winter white denim to cream coloured suits – I love it all. White is such a clean and flattering colour, and while it makes it extra challenging for klutzes like me to maintain a tidy appearance all day long I still love to rock it.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you know that the white sneaker trend has officially become a wardrobe staple. Whether you rock them with dresses or suits, jeans or joggers they look great and add an extra bit of cool to your look. This season though, the white footwear trend has been elevated to a new level. While the casual sneaker remains a staple, many designers such as The Row, Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs all sent fabulous white boots and shoes down the runway during their Fall/Winter 2017 shows. One of my favourite fashion mavens Celine Aagard even included a gorgeous pair of white shoes in her collection for Eurosko. This trend is showing no signs of slowing down as designers have also featured white footwear in their Spring 2018 presentations, most recently Rag and Bone during New York Fashion Week. Needless to say – I love this trend!

Martin Joseph Nováček (* 10. November 1834 in Horaschdowitz; † 19. März 1906) war ein böhmischer Musikpädagoge, Dirigent und Musiker.

Nováček wurde im Alter von 18 Jahren Organist und Chorleiter an der römisch-katholischen Kirche von Bela Crkva (Weißkirchen). Mit dem Chor unternahm er Konzertreisen, die ihn (1865) bis nach Dresden führten. Er eröffnete in Weißkirchen eine private Musikschule und eine Gesangs-Musikschule für Kinder. Hier wurden auch seine Kinder, vier Söhne und zwei Töchter, geboren.

1871 übersiedelte Nováček nach Temeswar, wo er mit Wilhelm Franz Speer (1823–1898) 1873 die Leitung des Philharmonischen Vereins, die er bis 1875, danach 1881–1882 und 1898–1905 innehatte. 1874 und 1875 veranstaltete er hier mehrere Konzerte, bei denen Werke von Palestrina, Johann Sebastian und Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Alessandro Stradella und Luigi Boccherini aufgeführt wurden und er selbst eigene Kompositionen auf der Viola d'Amore spielte. Ab 1875 veranstaltete er mit Ferdinand Prenner, Franz Sedlmayer, Max Weiß, Eduard Gerger und Wilhelm Franz Speer Kammermusikkonzerte. Als Domkapellmeister komponierte er auch Werke für den Domchor.

Mit seinen drei ältesten Söhnen gründete Nováček 1877 das  Streichquartett Kammermusikvereinigung Familie Nováček, mit dem er Tourneen durch Böhmen und Ungarn unternahm und erfolgreiche Auftritte in Karlsbad und auf der Budapester Margareteninsel hatte.

Die vier Söhne Nováčeks, Ottokar, Rudolf, Karl und Victor, wurden selbst als Musiker bekannt.

Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) listed Caledonia Mining Corporation, whose main and only producing asset is Zimbabwe based Blanket Mine, says successful exploration at the gold mine has extended the life of mine (LOM) from six to 14 years.
Gold mining is Zimbabwe's second biggest export earner after tobacco and national production totalled 33,2 tonnes last year against a stretched target of 32 tonnes from 24,8 tonnes achieved in 2017. Blanket is one of Zimbabwe's major gold producers.
Caledonia, which achieved its 2018 gold production target at Blanket Mine, said it has announced seven successive increases in the resource base, which has more than doubled the gold mine's LOM.
The mining group, which saw gold production hit the target of 54 000 ounces in 2018, is targeting between 53 000 ounces and 56 000 ounces this year and expects to reach 80 000 ounces by 2021 when it completes its central shaft drilling project designed to ramp up output.
"Following an increase in exploration activity at Blanket, since early 2015 Caledonia has announced seven successive increases in the resource base as a result of which Blanket's life of mine has been extended from six years as at the end of 2014, to 14 years as at the end of 2018. Exploration continues at Blanket with the objective of further extending Blanket's life of mine," Caledonia said this week.
Until the central shaft has been commissioned in 2021, production at Blanket is expected to remain at broadly the same level as achieved in 2017 and 2018. Caledonia therefore expects to produce between 53 000 and 56 000 ounces in 2019.
"Blanket finished 2018 with adequate mining and development infrastructure in place to deliver on this target (53 000-56 000oz in 2019) and we have made a good start to 2019," Caledonia chief executive Steve Curtis said this week.
"Completion of the central shaft is the key to Blanket achieving its planned production of approximately 80 000 ounces of gold per annum from 2021 onwards. I expect that sinking work at central shaft will be completed by mid-year after which we will start to equip the shaft," Curtis added.
This part of the central shaft project is relatively capital intensive. As such, Caledonia said that it had secured price hedging contracts, which will see the mining group getting a minimum price of US$1 250 per ounce for the next 5 months.
"In light of our significant capital expenditure commitments, we believe it is prudent to take advantage of the recent strengthening of the gold price and we have therefore secured a minimum received gold price of $1 250 per ounce for the 5 months to June 2019 whilst maintaining full upside exposure to the gold price through a cost effective option structure," Curtis said.
The central shaft project is in the final 18 months of construction and capital investment on this project is projected to be lower in the second half of 2019 and to reduce further in 2020 as it nears completion.

LGBTQIA+ Culture and Community in London and Amsterdam
Home » LGBTQIA+ Culture and Community in London and Amsterdam
Riley Husband
October 19, 2022 No comments yet
I visited London and Amsterdam this summer for a 3-week course on LGBTQIA+ culture and community. This course was very unique and valuable. Every class day we had about an hour of lecture and then an excursion. We visited museums and the history of Queer Britain, took a tour in SOHO, the historically Queer area of london, listened to impressive speakers about Queer topics, participated in London Pride, and participated in marching the original Pride route with the original members of the Gay Liberation Front UK. No one place or thing really stood out to me, as all of the places we went surrounded us in Queer culture.
Outside of class we were able to use the recommendations made in class time to further immerse ourselves in the culture. As nightlife is a prominent queer space, I was able to experience and join the community. I met queer folk from many walks of life, took communion from an irish drag queen, and danced the night away in a bathroom rave. Being from the south, our queer spaces are much smaller and less diverse, not to mention the homophobic attitude that unfortunately plagues the area. Being able to expose myself to big city queer culture was truly life changing. As a queer person, I felt empowered and more inclined to just be myself. I did not choose this program simply because I am a queer person.
Queer theory is not only about sexuality and gender differences, but also brings forth the idea of intersectionality. Intersectionality is an important factor in understanding non-euro-traditional/ideal identities and how it has spread to the rest of the world. Intersectionality takes into consideration how each individual's unique identity is within a spectrum between privileged and oppressed depending on their traits. For example, someone who is a black straight man may be opressed for their racial identity, but gains privlegde from their binary gender, heterosexuality, and able-body. On the other hand, someone who is white has that privilege, but if they are also LGBTQ and disabled, they face that kind of oppression and discrimiation. 1 in 3 LGBTQIA+ youth in the UK are homeless. According to a LGBTQIA+ youth homelessness survey in the UK, 12% of respondents of color felt supported by their extended family members (aunts, uncles, cousins or grandparents) while facing homelessness, compared to 18% of white respondents, and 14% of trans people, compared to 19% who aren't trans. 21% of respondents with a disability were forced to do sexual acts against their will by family members before becoming homeless compared to 11% of those without a disability. The point is that intersectionality is a concept that encapsulates the many layers of an individual's identity and how they are affected by each layer. This is important to understand as issues, such as homelessness, are increasing and can only be combated by taking this concept into consideration. Being surrounded by this culture creates a true understanding of how this works and has made it easier for me to think about how to apply it effectively in real life.
Britain really is the foundation of homophobic and anti-LGBTQIA+ idealologies. Colonialism spread these ideas and is the root of many less-developed region's anti-LGBTQIA+ policies and attitudes, as they were relatively non existent until the colonizers indoctrinated a patriarchal system. Going to London and learning about history put me at the heart of the matter. I think that queer theory is going to change the world. There is a lot of work to be done to apply these ideas, and that's why I chose this course, to increase my understanding in hopes that I may be one of the hands that helps dismantle the patriarchy.
Riley Husband (BS Psychology) spent summer 2022 interning abroad in London, England and Amsterdam, Netherlands through AIFS. Riley had the following to say about studying abroad, "Taking a course abroad is unique in that you are constantly learning by being surrounded by the subject and culture. It really makes learning fun, and I feel I have learned more in those 6 weeks than I have in some full semester classes."

Kawashima Koretada
川島惟忠
Kawashima Clan
Bushō
Awa Province
Lifespan: 15xx to 12/27 of Tenshō 7 (1579)
Rank: bushō, lord of Kawashima Castle
Clan: Kawashima
Lord: Miyoshi clan
Kawashima Koretada served as a bushō during the Sengoku period. Koretada was the lord of Kawashima Castle in Awa Province. He was a retainer of the Miyoshi family. He used the name of Hyōe-no-jō.
Koretada served valorously in the defeat of Shinohara Nagafusa at the Siege of Uezakura Castle during the sixth and seventh months of 1573, after which he was awarded a fief of 200 kan in the Kawashima area where he built Kawashima Castle.
In 1579, the forces of Chōsokabe Motochika attacked Waki Castle in Awa. At this time, Takeda Nobuaki, a retainer of the Miyoshi, served as lord of the castle. Nobuaki, along with Miyoshi Yoshitoshi (the lord of Iwakura Castle), were swayed by the Chōsokabe to betray the Miyoshi family. Nobuaki and Yoshitoshi then lured Miyoshi forces to Waki and completely decimated them below the castle. Koretada was among those retainers of the Miyoshi killed in this clash. His descendants then fled to Bitchū Province.
After the death of Koretada, Hachisduka Iemasa entered Awa and Iemasa's retainer, Hayashi Yoshikatsu, became the next lord of Kawashima Castle.


Descartes Labs led by Tim Wallace, formerly of NYT Graphics, is mapping all the city trees. They note that many large cities pay huge sums of money for tree surveys, but those hardly capture all the trees and typically only count street trees. Machine learning with satellite imagery takes care of this so that you can see all the trees and their densities. Obviously, this is not new either, but the machine learning bit automates the process to be quicker than traditional tree canopy analyses.
It looks like Palmer Park has the most dense tree canopy in the city, followed by Belle Isle.
Much fuss has been made over city trees in recent years. Urban trees reduce crime and help stormwater management (yay!). Cities and towns across the U.S. are losing 36 million trees a year (boo!). But, hold up—climate change is accelerating the growth of urban trees in metropolises worldwide (boo/yay?). Urban trees are under such scrutiny right now that the U.N. even had a World Forum on Urban Forests a few weeks ago to discuss the planning, design and management of urban forests and green infrastructure.

Client Update: COVID-19 Information


I received one of those calls that most of you probably get on a daily basis, also. It was a "Cisco consultant" looking to help me with my project plans for the coming years.
I toyed with him a bit by telling him that we switched our entire network over to Sonicwall. He responded by telling me that he heard that Sonicwall switches weren't great. Yea … I didn't say that he was a good social engineer.
I can't count how many times I've heard IT Managers and entry level IT Professionals take these calls and completely describe the entire network security system to a stranger on the phone.
My advice: You should absolutely NEVER give out information about your network to anyone who you have not met face to face or vetted through a trusted channel.

What is the difference between cream and Chantilly cream?
What is meaning of Chantilly cream?
Why is whipped cream called Chantilly cream?
Can I Flavour Chantilly cream?
What happens when you whip cream?
What is French creme fraiche?
In essence, Chantilly cream is a sweetened whipped cream with vanilla added (some recipes use liqueurs in place of vanilla).
What's the difference between whipped cream and Chantilly cream?
Whipped cream is often sweetened with a small amount of sugar (usually granulated) and sometimes vanilla extract. While a Chantilly recipe has a greater quantity of sugar and often confectioners' sugar versus granulated. Generally speaking, Chantilly is twice as sweet.
Combine cream, vanilla, liqueur, and brandy in cold mixing bowl. Beat with cold beaters on medium speed for approximately 1 minute. Add sugar and sour cream.
Can you make Chantilly cream with single cream?
To make Chantilly cream, you should only use full-fat (single) whipping cream whether you use a crème fraîche (whipping) or a UHT full-fat single cream. Don't forget: your cream, like your bowl or whisk, should be very cold.
It's a fine line between soft and stiff peaks, and even more so between stiff peaks and curdy, halfway-to-butter whipped cream. So easy, cowboy. You can always re-whip an under-whipped cream. But once it's too far whipped, there's no going back.
How long does Chantilly cream last?
Storing: Stored in an airtight container, it can stay refrigerated for 5-7 days. Freeze: Place the Chantilly Cream in a tightly lidded container and freeze for up to 4 months. Allow it to thaw and whip as needed when you're ready to serve it.
One of the things I love about this Chantilly Cream recipe is how easy it is. It only requires three ingredients and you can use it to make any dessert even better. Taste- Sweet with a hint of vanilla, this Chantilly Cream has a light flavor that works well with any dessert.
Will single cream thicken when whisked?
You can use it for pouring or adding to coffee. Single cream will not whip and will curdle if boiled, so it can't be a substitute in recipes that call for whipping or double cream. Whipping cream has around a 36% fat content, which allows air to be trapped when whipped, roughly doubling the volume.
Gather the ingredients. The Spruce
In a large mixing bowl,beat the heavy cream,sugar,and vanilla extract together on high speed until soft peaks form. The Spruce
Use as your recipe directs. Chill any unused Chantilly cream. The Spruce
What is the difference between Chantilly cream and whipped cream?
To make Chantilly cream, start by mixing 1 cup of cream with 1/3 cup of milk in a large mixing bowl. Then, whip the mixture with a large balloon whisk until it's frothy and soft peaks start to form. Next, add 5-6 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream. Finally, continue to whip the cream until stiff peaks

In short, Chantilly, also known as "Crème Chantilly," is sweetened whipped cream. Hence, some distinguish Chantilly from whipped cream because it is sweeter than whipped cream. That is why some treat Chantilly and Whipped Cream as synonymous and refer to both simply as whipped cream.
Whipped cream sweetened and flavoured with vanilla.
What is French cream made of?
What is Crème Pâtissière. Crème Pâtissière is a thick cream that has the consistency of a pudding or a custard. Made out of Milk, Egg Yolks, Sugar and a Flour, it is a classic French Recipe that is often used to fill cakes and baked goods.
The traditional mouth-watering French crème Chantilly is a classic on every honourable dessert platter all over the world! This delicate whipped cream originates from the town of Chantilly in Picardy, in the late 17th century.
Can you whip cream day before?
Whipped cream can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead of time if it's kept refrigerated. Even then, it may start to separate after a while. The best way to keep it is by placing a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and placing the cream on the strainer. That way, any liquid will leak into the bowl underneath.
Another reason you'll love making whipped cream is that you can flavor it any way you want. I most often use traditional vanilla whipped cream, but there are times that flavored whipped cream can really take things over the top.
What is squirty cream in America?
Whipped cream dispensed from an aerosol can.
MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS When whipped cream is heated, the fat is melted and the foam collapses. If whipped cream is beaten too long, further clumping of the fat globules occurs and butter is formed. The whipping quality of cream has been found to improve with increased butterfat content up to 30%.
What color is French cream?
French Cream is a light, neutral, fresh off-white with a red undertone. It is a perfect paint color for a main wall.
What is crème fraîche? A classic French ingredient (the literal translation is 'fresh cream') made from dairy cream that's been soured using bacteria in the form of a starter culture, to slightly thicken and acidify it.

How to Enroll In an LPN Program near Waldo Arkansas
Now that you have decided on a rewarding career in the field of nursing, it's important that you find a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program near Waldo AR that will provide the necessary training. If you live in Texas or California, then you will be looking for a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) school instead. There is no difference, aside from the names, between an LPN and an LVN. They both perform the same job functions and work in healthcare facilities under the guidance of Registered Nurses (RN) or Doctors. But their responsibilities do differ depending on the state they practice in, which we will address in the next segment. When initiating their search for LPN schools, many future nursing students start with those that are the closest to their houses or that are the least costly. While tuition and location are significant considerations, they are not the only qualifications that you should base your selection on. Other concerns, such as if the schools are accredited or have high pass rates on the licensing exam are extremely important as well. There are even more questions that you should ask prospective schools before enrolling in an LPN program that we will address later in this article. But first, let's look at the function of an LPN and what is involved in the instruction and licensing process.
What is an LPN in Waldo AR?
Licensed Practical Nurses have a number of tasks that they perform in the Waldo AR health facilities where they are employed. As their titles indicate, they are mandated to be licensed in all states, including Arkansas. While they may be accountable for monitoring Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), they themselves typically work under the guidance of either an RN or a doctor. The healthcare facilities where they work are numerous and varied, such as hospitals, medical clinics, schools, and long-term care facilities. Anyplace that you can find patients seeking medical care is their dominion. Each state not only controls their licensing, but also what functions an LPN can and can't perform. So based on the state, their day-to-day job activities can include:
Taking vital signs
Providing medicines
Setting up IV drips
Observing patients
Collecting blood or urine samples
Taking care of patient records
Assisting doctors or Registered nurses with procedures
Along with their job functions being governed by each state, the medical facilities or other Waldo AR healthcare providers where LPNs work can additionally limit their job roles within those parameters. In addition, they can work in numerous specialties of nursing, which include long-term care, critical care, oncology and cardiology.
LPN Programs in Arkansas
There are generally two academic accreditations offered that provide training to become an LPN. The one that may be finished in the shortest time frame, usually about twelve months, is the certificate or diploma course. The other option is to attain a Practical Nursing Associate Degree. These programs are more comprehensive in nature than the diploma option and normally require 2 years to finish. The advantage of Associate Degrees, besides supplying a higher credential and more in-depth training, are that they provide more transferrable credit toward a Bachelor's Degree in nursing. Regardless of the type of credential you seek, it should be state approved and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) or any other national accrediting organization. The NLNAC warrants that the core curriculum effectively prepares students to become Practical Nurses, and that most graduates pass the 50 state required NCLEX-PN licensing exam.
LPN Programs Online
Attending LPN schools online is growing into a more preferred way to receive instruction and acquire a nursing certificate or degree in Waldo AR. Some schools will require attending on campus for a component of the training, and virtually all programs require a certain number of clinical rotation hours completed in a local healthcare center. But since the rest of the training can be accessed online, this alternative may be a more convenient approach to finding the free time to attend college for many students. Pertaining to tuition, a number of online degree programs are less costly than other on campus choices. Even additional expenses such as for commuting and study materials may be lessened, helping to make education more easily affordable. And numerous online programs are accredited by U.S. Department of Education recognized organizations. So if your job and family responsibilities have left you with limited time to pursue your academic goals, maybe an online LPN school will make it easier to fit a degree into your active schedule.
Questions to Ask LPN Programs
Now that you have decided on obtaining your LPN certificate, as well as if you will attend classes on campus or online, you can use the following guidelines to start narrowing down your options. As you probably are aware, there are a large number of nursing schools and colleges near Waldo AR as well as within Arkansas and throughout the United States. So it is necessary to reduce the number of schools to choose from so that you will have a manageable list. As we already mentioned, the location of the school along with the price of tuition are most likely going to be the first two factors that you will look at. But as we also stressed, they should not be your only qualifiers. So prior to making your ultimate decision, use the following questions to see how your pick measures up to the other programs.
Accreditation. It's a good idea to make sure that the certificate program along with the school are accredited by a U.S. Department of Education recognized accrediting agency. Aside from helping confirm that you get an excellent education, it may assist in acquiring financial aid or student loans, which are often not provided for non-accredited schools near Waldo AR.
Licensing Preparation. Licensing criteria for LPNs vary from state to state. In all states, a passing score is required on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) as well as graduation from an accredited school. Many states require a certain number of clinical hours be completed, as well as the passing of additional tests. It's essential that the school you are enrolled in not only provides an exceptional education, but also preps you to satisfy the minimum licensing requirements for Arkansas or the state where you will be working.
Reputation. Visit internet rating companies to see what the assessments are for all of the LPN schools you are considering. Ask the accrediting agencies for their reviews as well. Also, contact the Arkansas school licensing authority to check out if there are any complaints or compliance issues. Finally, you can contact some nearby Waldo AR healthcare organizations you're interested in working for after graduation and ask what their judgements are of the schools as well.
Graduation and Job Placement Rates. Find out from the LPN schools you are looking at what their graduation rates are as well as how long on average it takes students to complete their programs. A low graduation rate may be an indication that students were displeased with the program and dropped out. It's also imperative that the schools have high job placement rates. A high rate will not only verify that the school has a favorable reputation within the Waldo AR healthcare community, but that it also has the network of contacts to assist students attain a position.
Internship Programs. The most effective way to get experience as a Licensed Practical Nurse is to work in a clinical setting. Almost all nursing degree programs require a specified number of clinical hours be completed. A number of states have minimum clinical hour requirements for licensing also. Ask if the schools have associations with nearby Waldo AR community hospitals, clinics or labs and assist with the placing of students in internships.

Q: Why exactly do some websites have a reset CSS section at the beginning of their CSS file? Why exactly do some websites have a reset CSS section at the beginning of their CSS file? I keep reading that it helps cross browser compatibility, but what exactly does that mean? Just curious, thanks!

A: CSS resets are used, in the words of Eric Meyer,

to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on.

When presented with a page with no CSS, a browser will attempt to render it with its own built-in default style.  These may look similar, but they're often different under the hood, sometimes in maddening ways that manifest when one tries to combine a specific browser's style with the desired effect, only to find that combination is different with another browser.
Resets attempt to "level the playing field" and set a baseline for everything, so that the site-specific CSS layered on top then has a similar effect across the different rendering engines in use on the Web.

A: Because historically, different browsers would have their own set of default ways to render certain elements. As a result your un-CSSed HTML would have different renderings depending on what set of default CSS you are depending on. Hence a 'reset' to normalize all broswers.

A: it actually ride off all default style of all the html elements and allow you to define your own style for each element but doing so you will get consistent style of your page across all the browser. Please note each browser treat html element by it's own way if css reset is not used. hope this help!

On March 15, Memorial Hill in Jerusalem witnessed an unusual ceremony. The large outdoor plaza at the entrance to the new Yad Vashem Memorial Museum was filled with hundreds of foreign dignitaries seated on plastic chairs. European delegates led by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, representatives of North and South America, Holocaust survivors, Knesset members, and important visiting personalities from Germany, France, Poland, Russia, Denmark and elsewhere came for the opening festivities.
The dignitaries had identical plastic faces. They bowed their heads in memory of six million Jews annihilated by the parents and grandparents of their fellow citizens. The temperature was low enough to cause physical discomfort, yet not a single frozen tear was perceived on any cheek.
A long wailing shofar blast and Hatikva, sung by Dudu Fisher, opened the ceremony. Next came speakers, musical interludes by children, songs interspersed with poetry readings, and short film clips of European Jewish life before and during the Holocaust. Eli Wiesel, the last and most impressive speaker, stood at the podium without a piece of paper. When he addressed the audience his words increased the impact of the large banner in the background – Zachor et asher asa lecha Amalek.
Two weeks ago, Orthodox Jews held ceremonies all over the globe honoring completion of the seven-and-a-half year Daf Yomi learning cycle. In cities throughout Europe, America and Israel, from Lublin to Melbourne to Sao Paolo, in stadiums, community centers and synagogues, hundreds of thousands of Jews celebrated the completion of one cycle and then immediately began the next one.
Last week, Jewish men, women, and children attended services on Shabbat parshat Vayikra to read and hear the words of zachor: "Zachor et asher asa lecha Amalek…" They listened to the reading of parshat Zachor as they do every year on the Shabbat before Purim, for it is a mitzvah in the Torah to hear and "never forget" what Amalek did to the downtrodden Jews after they left Egypt.
The Jewish people have thousands of years of experience in collective memories. Through their daily learning programs, Jews heroically maintain their faith and they remember. Torah-loving Jews are a non-stop learning community. There is no museum anywhere in the world that has been receiving visitors continuously for 2,000 years. Only in Israel, at the Kotel, the last remnant of the Beit Hamikdash, can one find thousands of visitors throughout the day and night, praying all year long.
Yeshivot and Jewish educational institutions are the answer to the requirements of the living. They are living testimony to faith through Torah study for Jews worldwide. New members have joined the Daf Yomi club, and, in seven-and-a-half-years, please God, their memories will be sharper, their level of understanding broader, the celebrations even greater.
Amalek is remembered in all the various masks and costumes he's donned through the ages – and, yes, Jews are proud to shed warm, salty tears. Tears express the pain, bitterness, hardship, and martyrdom of our people throughout the centuries, from the time we left Egypt all the way to our own era.
For the nations of the world, and even for some of our own brethren, we are not yet done sacrificing. Six million Jews in the years 1939 – 1945 were not enough. Thousands have been sacrificed to the present-day Amalek on the altar of the State of Israel since 1948, and that, too, is not enough. Inhumanity against Jews hasn't had the last word yet. Now we are being called upon to add homes, businesses, and our land – in the world's one and only Jewish state in – in order to help create yet another Arab state.
Yes, a Palestinian state will cause the Arabs to, in President Bush's words, "work hard." They will work hard looking for ways to kill us – while European and American heads bow reverently, their faces tearless on the frozen exterior of a Memorial Hill that doesn't answer the timeless desire to murder Jews for being Jews.

State of the Writing: July 2021
Joshua A. Johnston July 20, 2021 July 20, 2021 News
Hi, everyone,
It's been a while.
In August of 2019, I wrote about where my writing was headed. At the time, the third book in the Chronicles of Sarco had been out for nearly a year, and I was hard at work on other projects.
That was two years ago, and it was the last time I posted about my writing.
Until today.
I've been busy. In the nonfiction space, my wife and I manage a couple of blogs. One of them, a site devoted to the grocery store Aldi, has grown significantly, and just celebrated its five-year anniversary. The other, a site devoted to general advice, has been less busy, but we still write for it occasionally.
Most of you, though, are more interested in the fiction side. And on that front I can share some updates.
I'm currently at work on two projects. One of them is under the working series title Time's Narrows. It's a planned 3-4 science fiction series set on an alien world. I initially began working on it back in 2017, when things were still in motion on my Sarco trilogy. I finished the rough draft of the first book in spring of 2019, and sent the manuscript out to beta readers that fall. While they read it, I also made significant headway into a second book.
By early December of 2019, it became clear that the first book had challenges. Not only was it really long — 137,000 words — but it still had some rough edges to work out, both stylistically and in terms of plot and character arcs. I also realized that I wasn't sure, at that time, how to tackle those challenges. So I decided to shelve it, in hopes of clearing my head.
In the meantime, I set out on a second writing project. This one is under the working series title The Angellan Odyssey. It's a planned space adventure trilogy — with the possibility to write more — about a ship trapped far from home. I first started plotting it in mid-December of 2019, and finished the first draft of the first book in May of 2020. After various revisions, I sent it out to beta readers earlier this year, and have since received feedback to help me revise more. At 97,000 words, it's in a more manageable spot than the first Time's Narrows novel, and I'm close to moving on to next steps with it.
I plan on having more to share about the first Angellan Odyssey novel soon, hopefully later this year. Time's Narrows will be down the road, but I've got ideas on how to move forward on it, too. One thing at a time, though.
Baten Kaitos Revisited


Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley's representatives had a mixed showing in Tuesday's primaries, with one winning easily and two others having varied success in seeking higher office.
Meanwhile, Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor appeared poised to run in November for the seat soon to be vacated by Assemblyman Van Tran, whose district includes Fountain Valley.
Even though all precincts had reported by Wednesday morning, a spokesman for the Orange County Registrar of Voters said the results were still unofficial and could take up to 28 days to certify.
Mansoor beat Long Pham for the Republican nomination for Tran's 68th District Assembly seat. If the results are finalized, Mansoor will likely face Democratic challenger Phu Nguyen, a businessman who defeated federal court translator Joe Dovinh on Tuesday night. Tran and Mansoor are both termed out after this year and are seeking higher political office. Tran overcame two challengers with 50% of the vote in the Republican primary for the 47th Congressional District.
Assemblyman Jim Silva, whose 67th District covers Huntington Beach, ran unopposed for the Republican nomination for his district and is set to face Democrat Rosalind Freeman in November.
State Sen. Tom Harman, whose district covers Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley, fell short in his bid to become the Republican nominee for state attorney general, trailing Los Angeles Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley and attorney John Eastman.
